Any reason for G19 if had G17/G26?

Besides the collect-ability LOL...just curious where a G19 fits in the mix if one had a G17 and a 26 too? I've always thought the G19 was if you only wanted to one ONE glock (9mm). However, I'm curious if you guys can justify where it fits as an in-between?

'Cause it really does fit in between? The 19, to me, is the best of both worlds. true, it is kind of kike an all-around handgun, able to fit the role as a home defense gun as well as general CCW. The 19 hides very well, particularly IWB in a quality holster. The 17 is a great nightstand gun, and the 26 is awesome for deep concealment. I mean...it's not like you really need it, but do you want it?

What a silly question. Because it's there!

I have a a7 and a 19, but not a 26. I used to have a 26, but decided I didn't need it anymore. I've done tests on the timer and could shoot it just about as fast and accurate as the 19, but I didn't like shooting it as much and the draw never felt as clean and secure as the 19. So my opinion is mostly subjective, not objective.

I think of the 19 as the older man. Not quite as awkward, bit shorter but a better fit.
Or you could word that like druryj did...

I've found that when the G19 is too much to carry, I also need something thinner, not just shorter grip. So I have a single stack subcompact 9mm for the occasions I can't carry the 19.

I have a 26, a couple of 17's, a 34, and a 19.

I shoot the 17's a little better than the 19. My favorite carry gun is a 17, with the grip cut down to 19 length.

I guess I don't understand why the cutting down of a 17? Whats wrong with the 19 as is?

Longer sight radius. Less felt recoil.
