If you hang around gun shops or ranges long enough, you’ll hear this question all the time:

“Is the Glock 19 still worth it, or is it outdated now?”

Short answer. Yes, it’s still worth it.
Long answer. There’s a reason it never goes away.

Every year there’s a new carry gun everyone gets excited about. Smaller, thinner, lighter, higher capacity, whatever the trend is that year. And those guns are fine. Some of them are great. But when people actually start carrying day in and day out, a lot of them end up right back with a Glock 19.

Not because it’s cool. Because it works.

The Glock 19 is boring in the best way possible. It runs. It runs dirty. It runs with cheap ammo. It runs when you don’t baby it. And when you’re talking about something you might trust your life to, boring and reliable beats exciting every time.

Size-wise, it just hits a sweet spot. It’s big enough to shoot well without feeling snappy or awkward, but small enough to conceal with the right holster and belt. Fifteen rounds is still a solid capacity, and for most people it’s more than enough without turning the gun into a brick on your waist.

A lot of folks try to jump straight to the smallest pistol they can find. I get it. Concealment matters. But smaller guns are harder to shoot well. More recoil, shorter grip, less margin for error. The Glock 19 gives you a full grip and a controllable gun without feeling oversized.

Another thing people overlook is familiarity. The Glock 19 has been around forever. Almost every instructor has taught on one. Almost every range has parts for one. Almost every shop has magazines for one. If you ever need help, advice, or gear, you’re not hunting for niche solutions.

That matters, especially if you’re newer to carrying.

And this is where holsters come into play.

A Glock 19 is only as good as how comfortable you can carry it. If the holster sucks, you’ll leave the gun at home. That’s just reality. This is exactly why OMNICARRY works so well with the Glock 19. The size of the pistol pairs perfectly with a holster that’s adjustable, comfortable, and built for everyday wear, not just range photos.

With OMNICARRY, the Glock 19 rides close, stays secure, and doesn’t feel like you’re strapping on a duty rig just to run errands. It’s the kind of setup you can actually live with. And that’s the whole point.

The Glock 19 doesn’t try to be the newest thing. It doesn’t chase trends. It’s just a solid, dependable pistol that does its job day after day. In 2025, that still matters.

If you want a carry gun that’s easy to shoot, easy to support, easy to find gear for, and easy to trust, the Glock 19 is still one of the safest bets out there.

Sometimes the best answer isn’t the newest one.
It’s the one that’s already proven itself.
