it could be teh fact that they have more squared off edges?Katygunnut wrote:The Glock is also slimmer than a 1911 (1911 is 1.28 inches). That said, the 1911 feels a heck of alot slimmer than my Glocks. Something about the design of the Glock makes them feel fatter than they actually are.03Lightningrocks wrote:I thought the same thing and looked up the widths of a G19 and a P239. The G19 shows to be 1.18 and the P239 is 1.2... .

I have shot plenty of other 9mm handguns and I think my 239 is the best shooting of them. Though I've got a date with a Wilson soon. The thickness of the 239 is fantastic for a 9 you could shoot all day. If I wanted another option though I would seriously consider the 238.
