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 listed 4.4 lb pull; the G19 is striker-fired with a trigger safety, a 4.02" barrel and a 5.8 lb pull, 1.4 lb heavier. 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 with a listed 4.4 lb pull, 1.4 lb under the G19
• 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 listed pull, against 4.07 oz less weight in a 0.12" narrower package.
