I bought it at Academy in Grapevine, and I believe I paid $699.00 for a Bi-Tone. The black version was $649.00. I went to Academy because, at the time, BassPro was selling the same pistols for $699.00 (Black) and $749.00 (Bi-Tone). I believe they have come down in price quite a bit now, although BassPro still lists the 9mm black version at $699.00.

Don't tell any of my friends on the forum, but I've actually carried my wife's Glock 19 a couple of times in the past week. But my EDC is the XDM 3.8 .45 Compact, and it carries very well. I just now went and weighed both guns, each one with a loaded magazine, one in the chamber, and a spare magazine. The G19 came in at 2 lb, 6-3/4 oz, carrying 31 total rounds of Speer 124 grain Gold Dots. The loaded weight of the XDM 3.8 .45 came in at 3 lb, 1/4 oz, carrying 23 total rounds of 230 grain Federal HST. I'll keep carrying the XDM 3.8 .45 as my EDC. . . until my XDS .45 gets back from the recall. . . .because I prefer shooting .45 ACP and tend to be more accurate with it; but, the Glock 19 is certainly an excelleent and viable choice for concealed carry, and an awful lot of members of this forum carry them.
