Glock 19Glock was founded by Gaston Glock in 1963. Glock caught it’s big break in 1983 when it won a contract to provide 25,000 pistols to the Austrian army. At the time of winning the contract Glock had never manufactured a pistol in its short history. This would end up being a risk worth taking, as this venture was met with incredible success. Since this time Glock has gained a reputation for reliability and simplicity. Glock has opened subsidiaries in US, Hong Kong and Uruguay. From 1983-2000 Glock has sold over 2.5 million guns to the military and law enforcement agencies around the world.

The cartridge was introduced with the Luger semi-automatic pistol. This style of cartridge was first adopted by the German Navy 1904. The German Army adopted this cartridge in 1908. Since this time this cartridge has been adopted by every non-Communist power. It has become the most used cartridge in the world. 

Now lets talk about the Glock 19. The Glock 19 is one of Glock’s most popular firearms that they produce. In 1988 Glock started manufacturing the Glock 1988 and is still in production to this day. This firearm is a single-action, 15 round, polymer frame with integrated polymer grips. The Glock 19 shoots 9 mm ammunition with a recoil operated action. You can purchase a Glock 19 brand new for just under $600.00.

We tested the Glock 19 over at Urban Carry Holsters. The Glock 19 will use a large sized holster, this should keep the firearm comfortably below your waistline yet still accessible in emergency situations. If you normally wear a tighter more form fitting pair of pants we recommend using a small sized holster to accommodate the tighter fit.
