Why don't other manufacturers make glock 19 sized guns?

A 10mm conversion!!!

Kahr TP9
Sig P239

The whole point of this theoretical single stack 9mm is to be the same length and height, but thinner. The P239 is .02 inches fatter than a G19, and single stack. Fail.

Kahrs are temperamental at best in my experience and not really suitable for my carry needs. Not a fan of any pistol that the factory acknowledges will not be fully reliable for the first few hundred rounds. YM, of course, MV.

So you are saying you get extra dates when you carry the 17?

Lol, maybe I should start carrying AIWB when I haul out the 17…

I’ve got big hands and even I find the G19 “bulky”. The M&P 9mm just feels better, of course you have to replace that miserable trigger.

My G19 and M&P9 full size is right at the same size.

Your ruler is broken.

I agree that there are differently sized guns ideally suited for different roles, but I think many believe (myself included) that the G19 is a perfect size because it’s a jack-of-all-trades size. Not too big for CC, but not too small for social work.

If S&W ever came out with an M&P that is single stack and the size of a G19, I’d buy ten. Here in California, since I can only have a max of ten rounds anyway, guns and mags tend to have a lot of wasted space.

Not a single stack, but if I were forced to live in CA, the M&P45 midsize would be my choice. 10+1 and roughly the same foot print as the G19.

Shoot, I live in a free state and I still dumped every Glock and M&P in 9mm for 45 M&Ps. I have both full size and compacts and am very happy
