Full size vs compact

[bronson3304]

With no Intenchions to carry witch size pistol would you prefer? Full size or compact. I am looking for a pistol to target shoot with

 

[Regionnus Rattis]

Fullsize or compact what?

 

[JGulley317]

Intenchions

You mean intentions?

I have an intention to carry any handgun I own. If you plan to target shoot then full size would be the way to go.

Glock is the brand. I carry a g19. I am looking to get a pistol to target shoot with. Just wondering what everyone's opinion was as far as witch is better full size or compact

Are we talking competition shooting?

I personally prefer a 17 size pistol and have a 17C.. I've had a 34 in the past and it just didn't do it for me although a 34 is what most people use in competition when shooting a 9MM Glock.

mostly targert but i am interested in dong some three gun shoots

Compact is really for removing the print of a larger carry gun IMO.
Their recoil is much greater and with less grip surface which makes them less comfortable to target shoot when shooting hundreds of rounds......although I love target shooting my S&w bodyguard 380
It fits in the palm of your hand....very small,and surprisingly accurate.

i prefer full-sized, whether it be Glock or 1911. And I prefer to carry full-sized as well.

If u already own and carry a G19 then the obvious choice (to me at least) would be a G17 full size.

competed with a G34 over the last few years, while carrying a G19.

Thinking a Gen4 G17 will become my gun for both.

A G17 will do just as well in 3-gun as a 34 would.

It's hard not to say my G19 can be my everything gun because it can and is usually, but I love the G17 size. I picked up a new one yesturday and it fits my hand like a glove! I like both so I guess I'm not a good answer giver, I would say hold and hopefully shoot a G17 and see if you like it better.

I've run in to the same thing. The G19 was my favorite forever, but I've been competing with the larger G34 for the last few years and I've become accustomed to the larger grip.

Think the 17 will become my everything gun and I'll pick up a pocket pistol for summer carry.

I started with a 22 (same size as the 17) and carry a chopped version of that. For just target shooting I prefer my G35 (same as the G34). I like the longer slide for target shooting, but all the sizes are great. I am more of a full size for everything type of guy.

 

[SouthernIndy]

I would go with a compact.

 

[Rip007]

I would stick with the 19!

 

[PokerMack1973]

I would go with Full Size for plinking and home defense.

 

[mmills50]

I play with and carry a full sized firearm all day

Id go with the full sized
