This is because the extra length contributes to a longer sight radius (6.65 inches long on the G17, compared to the G19’s 5.98 inches) while the barrel length gives the powder a skosh more time to burn and the bullet an extra bit of twist to produce slightly more velocity and energy downrange. The Glock 17, with its longer barrel and slide, is inherently a bit more accurate, especially at distance. Keep in mind when comparing the Glock 17 and 19 is that the first was created initially to win a military sidearm contract while the second, smaller gun, was introduced after feedback from the commercial and law enforcement market for a pistol better suited for carry purposes.Īs such, the two guns cater to different purposes.
