Overall, you get from these Glock pistols exactly what you expect from a Glock. Easy operation, basic design, reliable performance. Both of these are compact Glock models. These Glock handguns are a great option for CCW and home defense. Are any of these the best Glock to carry? Yea, both of these! Although I have to say, I've been thinking about Glock 48 with Shield Arms mags lately as the best 9mm Glock, because of the mag capacity and a slim profile. Glock 19 will always be a classic though!

So, what do you guys think about this Glock model comparison between the Glock 48 vs 19? Which one would you pick? Let me know in the comments below! Thanks for watching! God bless!
