Key Features
Gen3 Glock 19 Platform
The Glock 19 Gen3 is one of Glock’s most recognized compact pistols. It was designed as a middle-size handgun:
- Larger than the Glock 26 subcompact
- Smaller than the Glock 17 full-size
- Suitable for concealed carry, duty use, training, and range shooting
The 4.02-inch barrel and compact grip provide a strong balance between concealability and control.

- Length: 4.02 inches
- Glock polygonal rifling
