The G19 is a proven performer and so is the Walther. You should seriously consider the Beretta PX4.

I think you'll find the G19 to be more durable. Its parts can also be found nearly everywhere and are not expensive.

The snap/kick from the G19 is slightly more intense than the G17, the Walther slightly less. The PX4's snap is reduced even more due to advanced technology.

Lab tests show the G19 to be slightly less accurate (25 yards), but its accuracy is very, very good.

I think the grip is better on the Walther.

If you are an experienced shooter or can handle the G19, that's the best value and performance for the money.

I own the G19.
