I have absolutely no friends that carry, or even own Glocks, or admit to ever handling Glocks, so I really have had no hands on with a Glock. I always figured that my short. fat fingers would never reach the trigger(s) on a Glock, and that they were such blocky shaped chunks of tupperware I would not have a comfortable grip. Boy, was I wrong! Tonight, while testing a gun that I had completely disassembled to make some repairs, I had the occassion to visit with a guy shooting a Glock 19. I watched while he shot a magazine and couldn't believe how fast the gun returned for each round - nearly no muzzle flip at all. When I commented on his obvious superior wrist and grip strength he loaded up a magazine and handed it to me. Surprise, I could get the entire pad of the first joint of my triggere finger comfortably on the trigger, and even the grip was comfortable and the tritium sights just fell right on target. All it took was one magazine and my whole opinion suddenly was changed. Honestly, the percieved recoil of the G19 9mm was almost as insignificant as that of the very anemic 32 acp.
Since my favorite carry is IWB, and the Glock still looks like it's as wide as a brick, will it really work? I can IWB the Sig 239/40 cal or Kimber Compact with most of my "wardrobe", and Kel-Tec PF9 and/or P3AT with even more. The G19 just looks chunkier than the Sig 239, and I really want something a bit smaller in 9mm. How difficult is it to conceal the chunky looking double stack grip of the G19? Would I still be able to mix with respectable folks if I did buy a Glock?
