So I'm looking to sell some guns and then buy a glock I'm thinking the 17. But I would like to hear any pros or cons on other glocks. It will be used for a mix of things cc,range and home defense.

I just got a 1911 it's probably one of my favorite guns.
So far I have only shot a 17 and a 22.

I think Rick nailed it.
If you want something to carry go with the 19 over the 17. Just the right amount smaller, but still big enough to shoot well. And besides, Hickok45 likes the 19 over the 17 and he's got big mitts![[smile]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/001.gif "Smile [smile]")
Has anyone shot the 38

For me the G17 is just too big. Does not fit my hand and I feel it to be just too awkward. For a full size gun, I like beretta 92 or USP...
I too feel the G19 does everything really well, and I think it is Glock's best all around size. And I still have a g26.

I say go with a 19 or maybe even a 26!
I have CC'd my G23 (same frame as the 19) and my G26. I almost exclusively carry the 26 these days and it is actually fun to shoot at the range.

I was checking out 92fs I did like it
I have a 26 for CC and a 21 for home defense. My cousins both have 19s. 19s are perfect if you want one Glock to cover all of your bases. If you're looking for a CC gun I'd recommend the 26 even though it is chunky. The width is a non-issue in my crossbreed, though. If you want a full size shooter then I would go with the 21. 13 round pre ban magazines and you can consolidate your ammo to .45 for both the 21 and your 1911.

For a real compact I have a lc9 and I have a 1911 so something in between is what I'm looking for.
Get the G23 and 9mm conversion barrel
No. No one has.
I keep on shooting both at MFS. On the fringes, the 17 might be a bit easier to shoot, but in general, once you get used to it, you will be as happy with the 19l.
You can go to MFS, rent range time and rent both the 19 and the 17 to try them out.
I still would not trade my SIG 226 for either, but that is just me. They are all good guns.

If you like the full size try the sig p226 mid size p229 you will be happy with both

I have had all models in 9mm, and I say 19 Range/Winter carry-G26 Summer IWB.
If you can't tell already, it's really a matter of personal opinion. A GLOCK is a GLOCK, for the most part you're just dealing with frame size and caliber. Some prefer the .40 over 9mm, others can't hit the broad side of a barn with it. Some hands are better suited for a full sized frame, others prefer a compact or even a subcompact.
They're all going to perform essentially the same, and all things being equal the G19 is probably the most versatile, but it really comes down to how well you shoot them.
