It’s no secret that the Glock 19 has been one of, if not the most popular carry pistols of all time. The Glock 19 has been issued to militaries, law enforcement, and security agencies, as well as being a top choice for civilians looking to defend themselves and their loved ones.

How do you sort through all of that? Today I’m going to give you what I and a lot of the TFB staff agree are the best available 9mm carry ammo.

Do you ever travel to New York City? Do you concealed carry? Concerned about your safety while visiting? Great, then keep reading!
