I scored a gen 2 Glock 19, original box and all. I am very excited…I like these more than the gen 3. Now to figure out what I need to do to it, if anything.
I’m sure others will have much better suggestions than I but I recommend getting some ammo and shoot the heck out of it. I have two, a gen 2 and a gen 3, and other than replacing the sights they are totally stock. My sampling size is only two but I have had zero problems with them as is.
Suggest…
Sights (Heinie, Warren, 10-8, Redback One, there are others)
Vickers extended mag release
Vickers extended slide stop
Grip plug (keeps stuff out of the internals)
Shoot it (lots)
There are a number of threads on Glock enhancements, but pretty sure I covered the essentials.

I got one too I went with night sights and some stippling and alot of ammo downrange. Its my EDC
Shoot it.
I generally install new sights (TNS, MNS, and more recently Trij HD), but I leave them alone otherwise.
the gen II glock19 is one of my favorite weapons of all time. i like to fill in the field goal post white on the rear sight and install a front night sight. enjoy!
I have three gen 2 19’s. They have all been run hard for a long time. No problemos. I think they are the best and most sensible pistol Glock has ever made. Right size,right capacity,and no idiotic finger grooves that fit nobody in particular.
The end-all, be-all.
All of these posts about Gen 2 Glock 19s are making me want to go get one! I have a couple of the third gens, but no finger grooves are awfully tempting! I normally don’t like the idea of buying a used handgun, but I could make an exception here. For those who have bought one, are they worth the trouble to go hunting for a used one?
Nice, I have been looking for one for a while now. I say night sights, stipple job and round out the trigger guard.
Not a 9mm or a compact for that matter… just a screamin’ deal…

Exactly what he said. After you have shot it a lot and PM time comes around, you could also change the extractor to the one that has the loaded chamber indicator a little more pronounced.
The G19 is a great choice.

I’m about to sell one if anyone is interested…
Let me know how much.
Good deal,
I have three of them. my latest picked up two weeks ago for $250. very little wear hardly used w/ three hi caps and night sights that still work. i should be recieveing my replacement 3rd gen. service gun in a few weeks. so i’ll give you guys a heads up on how the current 3rd gens are running.
So who did you mug to get a G19 for 250 dollars? That’s outrageously cheap.
lucky for me i was in the right place at the right time. we have a bunch of guys retireing so you can get the gen.2 for a ni:cool:ce price.
If anyone finds a deal on a Gen 2 19, please let me know.
Good god $250 is a great price, good score man!
The day a used Gen2 19 walks into the gun store i work at, is the day i can finally give my 2 weeks notice. I’ve been looking out for one for a year now, with no luck.
I prefer the non-FG/R frames, and continue to acquire them. I prefer the transitional (pre-“3rd Gen”) frames with reinforced front frame rails especially, and usually buy those whenever found.
