Hi everyone,
First, I've already searched THR and Google and couldn't find anything definitive on the subject, so I'm turning to you guys. I'm having trouble determining the difference in finger groove spacing between the 17 and 19. From all the pictures I see online, it looks like the 17 has a larger top and bottom groove, but the middle one appears to be spaced a little closer like the 19. However, I'm not 100% certain on this because it's hard to tell from internet pics and sometimes I feel like my eyes are playing tricks on me.
I'm familiar with the compact and sub-compact Glock grips and the finger grooves fit me well. I've been thinking about picking up my first full-size Glock (either 17 or 34 if I can find one), but I'm worried that the finger groove spacing isn't going to work for me. I'd go to a gun shop and see for myself, but I can't seem to get off work early enough and all the gun shops around here seem to close at 5pm. No big box stores around here either (e.g. Cabelas, Sportsman's Warehouse, Gander Mt.).
I'm mainly looking for feedback from those who own both the 17 and 19 (or 22/23). Can you describe the finger groove spacing and your preference as to which one feels better in the hand?
Thanks!
