CZ P-07 9mm vs Glock G19 Gen5 9mm

Both hold 15+1 of 9mm and sit within 0.08" of each other in overall length, 7.2" for the CZ P-07 9mm and 7.28" for the Glock G19 Gen5 9mm. Everything else diverges. The P-07 is hammer-fired DA/SA with an interchangeable ambidextrous decocker or manual safety, a 3.75" barrel and a 3.3-5.5 lb single-action pull after a long first shot; the G19 is striker-fired with a trigger safety, a 4.02" barrel and the same 5.8 lb pull every time. The G19 is 4.07 oz lighter (23.63 oz vs 27.7 oz), 0.12" narrower (1.34" vs 1.46") and 0.26" shorter in height. Neither is optic-ready. MSRP is $489 for the P-07 and $647 for the G19, which includes three magazines to the CZ two.

Pick the CZ P-07 if:

• You want a DA/SA hammer gun: a long double-action first shot, then a 3.3-5.5 lb single action for follow-ups
• You want to choose your controls: the decocker and manual safety are interchangeable and ambidextrous
• $489 MSRP against $647 matters to you at the same 15+1 capacity

Pick the Glock G19 Gen5 if:

• You want the lighter, slimmer gun: 23.63 oz vs 27.7 oz and 1.34" vs 1.46" wide
• You want one consistent trigger stroke rather than a double-action first shot
• You want the longer 4.02" barrel, the 6.02" sight radius and three magazines in the box

Capacity and footprint are close to a wash. The question is a hammer gun with a decocker and a lighter single-action pull, against 4.07 oz less weight in a 0.12" narrower package.
