Choosing the Best Suppressors for the Glock 19

The GLOCK 19 is arguably the most famous and popular of all the GLOCK pistols. Often imitated but never duplicated, it can be found in use by civilians, law enforcement officers, and militaries throughout the world. Because the gun is so popular and ubiquitous, it's only logical that people would want to use a suppressor with it. Want to know the best suppressors for the Glock 19? Good, because that's what I want to talk to you about, too.

What You Need to Know About the GLOCK 19

Begun by Gaston Glock in the 1980s, GLOCK pistols took the world by storm. While some were hesitant to embrace the so-called "plastic pistol with no safety," people eventually came around and their dominance is almost worldwide as we close out the first quarter of the 21st century. (And for the record, they're not plastic and they do have a safety - multiple, actually.)

The GLOCK 19 was introduced in 1988 as a slightly smaller version of the GLOCK 17. This compact version of the striker-fired polymer pistol is chambered for the 9mm NATO cartridge and has a standard magazine capacity of 15 rounds. Because the gun is effortless to use, easy to maintain, and affordable, it has become the gold standard worldwide against which all other striker-fired polymer pistols are judged.

The current Glock 19 is the 6th generation of the legendary pistol. Adding a suppressor is a great option, but you'll need to add a threaded barrel. Luckily there's no shortage of options there, too.

Factors for Choosing the Best Glock 19 Suppressor

When picking out a suppressor for your GLOCK 19, there are a number of different things to take into consideration.

You'll obviously want to look into the decibel reduction ratings for different makes and models, as well as how things like the size, weight, and length of the suppressor impacts the gun's overall performance and use.

Glocks are notorious for being a but touchy when it comes to adding a suppressor. They often have a lighter recoil spring, which makes them so easy to shoot. That spring, however, can make it a bit difficult to get the pistol to cycle with a suppressor. Make sure you have the right ammo and a booster/ Nielsen Device for better reliability.
