Lost in Idaho...
When I saw the grey frame, I just couldn't not buy it. I also fitted it with a Taran connector and spring kit, Lone Wolf threaded barrel, Ameriglo Hackathorn sights, Glock extended slide release, Taran magwell, Hyve extended mag release, InForce APLc weapon light, and Taran +2 base plates for the mags I carry. I had to trim the back strap so I could have the beaver tail (I get crazy slide bite with my big hands without it), and the thing shoots like a freaking laser beam. I may eventually get an MOS slide for it so I can mount a Delta Point Pro, and I will likely someday play with muzzle brakes on it, but it shoots so well now and these Hackathorn sights are really quick, its no where near a priority right now. I carry it in a T.Rex arms Raptor holster. Quite glad I saw this Glock when I was looking for an M&P 2.0 Compact. I'll likely eventually get one of those too though.

I also have big hands and love the size of the 19. Coming from 1911's, I use to get bad slide bite but over time my grip has changed a little so it doesn't bother me much anymore. After a few hundred rounds I will still have two black lines from the slide rails between my thumb and index finger but no blood ;).

Here's my not-so-fancy 19, my first Glock, that I've been carrying for the last 7 years.

My perfection collection. The top one is what I use for 3G with adjustable Dawson sights, KKM, Apex trigger, etc. The bottom two are my defensive disposables ;-p (TLR-1s and Night Sights, otherwise stock with heavy gritty triggers that the courts prefer)

I also shoot 1911 and 2011s but switch to my Glock 19s to correct the bad habits I get from shooting superior guns hahaha....

Probably should drop another $400 on a fancy slide for the pimp Glock but... sheet I've learned the hard way not to put too much into a plastic pistol, have assembled more than a few.
