I recently purchased a glock 19c gen 3 and I have read so many reviews saying not good for defense over all. The arguments were as follows:
1. In low light the flash out of the ports were blinding and disoriented them for several seconds. I shot mine at 11:00pm last night and it was DARK, I saw a flash but was immediately capable of a fallow up shot.
2. Firing from retention position, or close to body, to simulate a close encounter it would produce an extreme muzzle blast to the face to render you out of commission for a short while. I drew the weapon and with a slight cant of the gun to ensure the brass would clear my face and fired 3 shots and while a small blast was felt I was able to fire 3 rds easily
3. The last major argument I found was the loudness of the 'c' models would make it a bad decision for personal defense. While I did not fire it without ear pro. I understand it would be louder but in a personal defense situation are you really going to be concerned with how loud your gun is?
So my questions are what are these people talking about? there is a slight noticeable difference but not to where I would consider it a negative factor. I understand recoil is not bad in a 19 anyhow but the 'c' model is noticeably less and shoots like a dream and with less muzzle rise making follow up shot much easier to me.
Anyone who has had one or shot one and compared it to the standard 19 what was your experience?
