The Glock 19 is widely praised for its reliability, durability, accuracy, and performance. It's a versatile gun suitable for multiple purposes and has a broad user base. Civilians have used the weapon for self-defense, hunters for target shooting, gamers in competitions, and law enforcement agencies. The gun can perform well under harsh environmental conditions as well. Additionally, it's easy to use. You can customize it according to your needs and preferences.
Problems with the Glock 19
Generally, the Glock 19 is a reliable pistol, but it may encounter several potential drawbacks, such as Brass to face, Slide bite, Trigger pinch, etc. Brass to face is annoying when the ejected brass casing hits the shooter's face or head after firing. Multiple reasons contribute to this problem, such as weak extractor springs, dirty chambers, limp writing, or faulty ammunition.
Another potential problem is Slide bite, which can be painful and bloody for the shooter. It occurs when the rear end of the slide pinches or cuts the shooter's hand between the slide and the frame after firing. A third problem with the Glock 19 is the Trigger pinch. It may irritate the shooter and usually occurs when the trigger guard rubs or digs into the shooter's finger after firing. Multiple factors contribute to this problem, but the common elements are long fingers, short triggers, or tight gloves.
What Glock 19 ammo is available?
A user can choose Glock 19 ammo from many available options. Some general categories are FMJ (full metal jacket), which is cheaper but more reliable and has a metal coating around the bullet to prevent deformation or fragmentation upon impact. JHP (jacketed hollow point) is more expensive but less reliable than other ammunition. This ammunition consists of a hollow cavity at the tip of the bullet. This cavity expands upon impact and creates a more effective wound channel. This wound channel transfers more energy to the target. The third category is +P (plus pressure). This category generates high pressure, higher velocity, and more energy compared to standard ammo. The plus pressure also has a high penetration capacity and good performance compared to other pressures. But it also has some drawbacks, such as the fact that it causes more wear and tear and recoils.
Glock 19 or Sig P320?
If we compare these two legendary guns, we can only reach a final decision if both are popular and reliable. Still, we can compare them based on their size, weight, trigger and safety systems, modularity, and customization.
Considering both the guns' size and weight, we will find that the Glock 19 is slightly smaller and lighter, while the Sig P320 is more extensive and heavier. But because of its size and weight, you can easily conceal the Glock 19. In contrast, the Sig P320 is more accurate at shooting.
Similarly, if we compare both guns regarding trigger and safety, the Glock 19's trigger is simple and consistent, while the Sig P320's trigger is smoother and lighter. The Sig P320 also has a manual safety option, but this option is not present in all the models of the Sig P320.

Because of this design of the Sig P320, a user can swap out the grip module, slide assembly, and fire control unit to change the size, Caliber, or configuration of the pistol.
