any opinions on this model, pros or cons, or better choices for above stated purposes?
Thanks in advance for all comments, particularly the ones that are actually helpful...
Otherwise, good choice, never heard a bad thing about the 19.
Two thing I would add, mag flare makes reloading easier and I like what it does to the grip shape wise for handling. If you have bear paws though you won’t like it. Second change the stock sights. The polymer stock Glock sights are trash. I don’t mind the rear square outline, some hate it, I hate polymer sights on a pistol. Truglow TFX Pro are awesome.
Glock 19 MOS you can put an optic on it without having the slide milled. Or you can get an aftermarket slide. Zaffirri Precision is my go to.
The 19 is a compact, but it's still too damn bulky and heavy for CC, IMO. Which is why I got the 43.
The Beretta M9 is my favorite, hands down, but that's likely because I carried it for years in the Navy and shot, quite literally, thousands and thousands of rounds through it. So if it comes down to an "oh, sh*t" moment... muscle memory will take over and I'll be fine.
My buddy Mike is the SW regional sales rep for Sig Sauer. If I was going to buy another gun it would probably be the Sig P226 MK25.
I recommend trying as many models as you're able. Then you can determine what feels/shoots best for you. I started the process certain I wanted a Beretta, and ended it as another CZ fanboy

Rental ranges are a good place to start.

MACS should say “GEN __” on the side of the slide. You can also tell by the trigger shoe, mag release and guide spring.
Dagger is great for the price but the trigger sucks donkey balls.

Glock triggers are easy to improve.
Doesn't say Gen anything... but there is a 1 G on the slide, so it looks like a Gen 1.
The Dagger looks like I need to look into a little more. I also like the idea of going to the local rental range and trying some of them out.
Glocks just never fit the shape of my dainty hands. I carried a 17 and a 19 for work, but switched to 1911s. John Browning must have had a mold for my hand when he designed the 1911.
