if you get the 26 you can use mags from the 19 or get the mag made for the 26 that extends the grip to the length of the 19. 9mm is signifcantly softer shooting, and usually cheaper.

Two options:
1. Get the 26 and use the magazines from the 19 or even the 17 like others have said. A couple different companies make sleeves for the mags to improve the grip. OR you can change the base plates of 26 mags with either a magazine extender or just a pinky extension. Pierce grips is a company whos products I'm familiar with and have installed on customers guns with nothing but positive feedback.
2. Get the 23. Yes it is the same size as the 19 just a different caliber BUT you can get a new barrel and with 19 mags convert it down to a 9mm. This gives you the option of two calibers in essentially one gun. YES the conversions work and I have shot them personally with no problems. Lone Wolf and Stormlake are two companies I know that make the conversion/replacement barrels.

agreed, .40 feels snappier than a .45 to me too. i don't like .40 at all. 9mm or .45 is the way i'd go.

I have both, but usually with the Glock 23 i put the G32 barrel in it as I like the .357sig round way better. Just be patient if you are dead set on the G19. Definitely a good handgun to start off with as its cheaper to shoot than the others mentioned.

g19 is a solid gun. i'd say just wait it out. i'm not a fan of glock but i do like the g19. i'm a tiny dude so it's perfect for me. best sub 600 dollar pistol i've shot. (before the madness) i don't know about fl but mn already said they aren't changing any laws so i'm good. i just need to wait on re stocks. if my state isn't banning stuff fl def wont be.

I found a gen 4 G19, but they wanted $725, I passed. I instead got the G17 gen 4 for 509 plus tax.
Anybody can recommend sites to find ammo ?
Is BulkAmmo.com reliable ?

Cosign, i turn 18 in NJ in two months and want to find a left handed AR

If you're left handed you don't need to buy those gimmicky Stag AR's made for left handed people. Just practice shooting it with your left hand. If you're still set on getting something for left handed people look at the Scar.

I Just Want A Left Handed Upper So I Don't Have To Deal With Shells Flying Across My Body. Not Necessarily Left Handed, But It Could Be Something Ambidextrous Like The PS90. That's What I've Been Looking Into.

Personally, i like the idea of the ps90 (especially with a 10.5" barrel, you can literally fit it in a bookbag) but 5.7 is unobtanium right now, and if you do find it, your going to drop at least a dollar a round. Like someone else mentioned, Stag makes left handed rifles, and i think RRA does, though if it were me, and i really really wanted a left hand AR, i'd buy a good barrel (Rainier arms is probably the best bang for your buck when their in stock) and a stripped/complete LH upper, and have an armorer put it together. Barrel and BCG are 2 things you don't want to skimp. Lower receiver, and upper receiver are going to be more or less the same whoever you get them from. I would spring for the extra dough and buy either a BCM or LMT complete lower.
You could also go with something like the FS200, takes AR STANAG mags, is fully ambi, and ejects from the bottom. Also going to run you a few stacks.
*Saw your in VA, what part? you do know also that it's legal for an 18 year old to own a handgun in VA ?

I didn't know this. I'm not 18 but I live in VA

To clarify, it's legal for an 18 to own a handgun, but it's not legal for a dealer with an FFL to sell you a gun. So basically you could be given one as a gift, or buy one from a private individual and as long as it was purchased legally, your good to go.

botach had 10 round m&p 45 mags for $20 bucks, so i figured i might as well buy a dozen. Then i realized i didn't have an m&p 45, so i had order one of those. Should be in next week, thanks to gunbroker. total price of the m&p compact will be $555. Not horrible, plus the shop a full size on consignment with a holster and a couple of extra mags for $600. The big selling point for me was that all m&p45's will accept the 10 round and 14 round mags (a la glock, something not true for the m&p 9's) and it's esentially 3 guns in 1. The Full size has 4.5 inch barrel, the compact and mid sized have 4" barrels. But you can take the slide assembly off the full size and put it on the compact and vice versa. The end result is a grip shortened .45 caliber with 4.5" barrel. Best of both worlds.
*edit* anyone looking for .45 acp self defense ammo, sgammo.com has/had 230 gr Hydra shok for 35 per box. Not bad for second rate self defense ammo in this day and age.
