Hello. This weekend I'm looking to buy a pistol. I want something that can be carried but if its a bit large or uncomfortable that's fine. I'm looking at the G19 4th gen, which I haven't held yet, the G17 4th gen and the M&P shield in 9mm. I've shot both the G17 and 19 in 3rd gen quite a bit but never the shield. I am not recoil sensitive in the slightest so I doubt it would be unmanageable. I checked out the G17 at the store and liked how it fit my hand. I will not have the opportunity to test fireany of these before purchasing. My questions are:
Is the 19 so much smaller than the 17 that it makes a considerable difference while carrying?
Is the shield so much smaller than the 19 that it makes sense to get it instead?
If it helps I'm 6' 2" and 250#. Any insight would be greatly appreciated
