I always carry concealed but with oc I don't worry printing anymore. I don't care for compacts so I either carry a Springfield 1911 with a 7 rd mag and a spare on my hip or with 1 CM Powermag 10 rd. I also have a 4" Springfield XD 45 service model with 13 rd mags.

Guys I have decided on the Sig P320 subcompact in 9mm! Gonna go pick it up this week. I like it because its interchangeable with all its brothers except the 45 and to get a bigger frame it's about 46$ or so it's a great deal and I found them at my local store for a good price

You could also use a mag from your G 19 as a second mag with more rounds.
Not only can you use the mags but some holsters will also work between the two (or three if you include the G17).

I also carry a g19, but I recently pick up a s&w shield no safty and I like it. the way it shoots,has a 8 plus 1 capacity, and the way it Carries. It's function almost exactly like a Glock except for one thing the trigger does not stay back when you dry fire it. I'm so used to Glocks doing that, that I don't like it at all. I carry with one in chamber when I'm out but when I'm home,I unload it the. Dry fire it to depress the trigger on my Glock, but I can't do that with shield. I'll get used to it.

Glock 43. Uses Ammo you already buy. Uses operating system you're already familiar with. Other than thickness (being a single stack), has the same ergonomics and grip angle you're used to. I EDC a 19, followed by a 43, and occasionally a 17. Confusion eliminated.
