I own guns that are 50+ years old that i'd be willing to carry if in a situation where it's the only option I had. Same goes for a gen 2 G17 or G19. Sure, those might be old, and have some of the finish worn away. The wonderful thing about Glocks is all of the aftermarket support, so if one of the parts is starting to get worn out, obtaining a replacement part is a rather easy thing.

Personally, I own a gen4 G19. However, i'm partial to the finger grooves (I know some people absolutely loathe them, but that grip makes it unbelievably comfortable to shoot for long periods of time). I feel without the finger grooves, I'd still be able to shoot an older G19 proficiently, but it may take a little longer to be as accurate (I did rent a gen2 a number of years back, and wasn't wowed at the experience). The time I rented a gen4, a G19 came home with me the same week.
