Let's start with the glock 17. this is the classic glock it is one of the first glock nine millimeters and then there is the glock 19. it is the most popular nine millimeter pistol on the market very similar uh the glock 17 is going to carry 17 plus one standard the glock 19 is going.

To carry 15 plus one standard uh they both have the rear serrations there and they both have a rail the only real significant difference is the length and grip and the length in barrel and i can kind of show you how that looks right there.

The length in barrel is not much it's about a half inch um which that makes the 19 a little more easy to conceal and then also the the grip there as you see the 19 come on top of the 17 uh is a little bit smaller so smaller hands easier to grip larger hands probably.

Easier for the 17 but uh i think it's something for you to check out as well the other cool thing that i love about the glock 19 is this if you're getting yourself a duty holster or a military holster which both of these are designed and work well for law.

Enforcement and for military the glock 17 has the holster right here and it fits perfect you can also throw a red dot or a light on there that's the rapid force the level three retention the glock 19 will also fit right there as well and that's what's cool but if you had the glock 19 version the 17.

Wouldn't fit in there so i do like that about the 19. very very cool these are great guns uh you really need to go to your local gun store put them in your hand and see how they feel and then if you can find a range that will let you check them out and borrow them and shoot them.

Check that out too i would say this is a little more of the ideal concealed carry gun that's the glock 19 or the glock 17 is just a little bit bigger so it's a little harder to conceal but if you're using that for duty it's not that much of a difference also there are other magazines available for both.

Of these the glock 17 comes standard like i said with the 17 plus one magazine but you can also get the 19 the 24 the 31 and the 33. the glock 19 comes standard with the 15 plus one magazine also available in 17 24 31.

And 33. there you go they are both great guns and depending on what you're looking for you decide the glock 19 is going to be a little easier to conceal carry there's your inside the waistband shape-shift version also available for the glock 17. and again you've got this duty holster.

Calibers with one serialized component i think that the p320 just offers advantages that you don't get out of any other platform without having to buy a lot of extra guns you know the fact that you can buy an exchange kit and go from a full-size holster gun.

Or subcompact size pistol given that you still keep you know the fundamental quality the trigger you're used to in your gun uh across any configuration you have multiple caliber options in fact more than any other pistol on the planet you can switch out from nine millimeter to 40 caliber 357 sig.

And 45 and you can do it all with the same pistol if we're just looking to plank we're looking for maybe some nine millimeter where we can get it at a reasonable cost but maybe for defensive purposes i want to carry 45 and that 320 really gives you the option 320 is a great option for self-defense.

Primarily because of versatility think about it you can buy a 320 and a full-size nine-millimeter clip a light onto it you've got a you know full capacity magazine for maybe home home defense and you can take that same exact gun and i could put in a sub compact kit and maybe in a 40 caliber or 45 and i.

Can throw that thing on an ankle with the same gun so as far as self defense the 320 is really the answer.
