Wild Sports on Greenback has been out of the Glock 19 for some time due to it's popularity, and they have no clue as to when they'll get more. They have most of the other Glocks, just not the Model 19...

Time to check Roseville, or maybe buy online...

Do they have any model 23's? If so, at least you could get a feel for what the 19 is like since they're basically the same pistol just in a different chambering (.40 vs. 9mm). For that matter, the .40 is a pretty solid cartridge. I'm not sure whether .40 ammo is more expensive than 9mm, though.

give sportsman's warehouse a call - they can tell you if they have them over the phone (might save you a trip, but I bet they have it in stock or can get it soon)

Their website doesn't mention handguns. Are you sure they are a dealer??

[Orangetj]

Did you already call the Cordova Shooting Center's shop? They have a selection of new handguns for purchase in the shop and their prices have always looked reasonable to me. Not sure if they have a G19, but might be worth a call.

Yep. That's where I bought my G19. They should have them in stock...if not, they receive fairly regular shipments.

Check www.topgunsupply.com. These guys are great. Again, folks on www.sigforum.com swear by them -- they have excellent customer service. You'll have to find a local FFL -- I used J&G in Granite Bay -- a little expensive but transaction was smooth.

Guys -- I got my CTC grips for my P220. I'm ready to go to the range -- latest by this Friday.

Yea -- I think about 50% more expensive......

FYI: Sportsmans Warehouse also out-of-stock on the G19....Man, must be a popular pistol...They recommended the Springfield XD9 as a comparable pistol....Is Springfield a quality product ??

That's a VERY good gun and I'd say its 100% comparable with the G19 - that company has a good record of making great quality guns for many years

Springfield Armory really has a great history - George Washington ordered the creation of the Springfield Armory 1777

Interesting....the word on some of the gun-related message boards is that a significant number of G19s have been shipped (and are shipping) to Afghanistan and E-raq. I have seen several pictures of U.S. "operators" in Iraq sporting the G19 as their service pistol. Also, supposedly the Iraqi police are issued the G19 as their service pistol, so these government contracts are taking up almost all of the supply that Glock can produce and Glock is waay behind in production. This is all unsubstantiated rumor however.

I wouldn't be surprised by that.

BTW, I haven't seen that Wild Sports coupon in The Bee in quite some time. What's up with that??

Also, any thoughts on night sights and/or lasers ??
