Open G19

Recommended Posts

I can appeciate the creativity to build one, but why would you want that small an Open gun. :mellow:

I feel the same about Modified division, in general.

I don't think the thread starter is talking IPSC Modified though?

You really only need enough barrel to stabilize the bullet and get the velocity up to the needed level. There is no sight radius gain when using a red dot.

I'd go with a G17...but, I might play around with a G19 as a test bed if that is what I had around.

Anybody ever seen a open G19? Is it possible as far as comps, magwells, etc....

In another thread I posted the picture below. It shows both the full size and the "compact" size. The three basic calibers here are 9mm (19), .40 S&W (23) and .357Sig (32) which share the same frame size. The hardware (magwell, etc.) from the the bigger frame (17, 22, etc.) will fit with a little bit of coaching.

But the magwell can push the hand up a little bit on folks having big mittens. Otherwise I refer to my "compact" framed Open Glocks as Open Glock 'Shortys'
