GLOCK 19 RTF 2: MY IDPA GUN OF CHOICE
About this video
Colion describes his recent decision to start shooting IDPA competition and explains his choice of firearm for it. He shares that he selected a Glock 19 RTF2 because he wanted a gun that could serve dual purposes: regular concealed carry and competition shooting. Colion discusses his preference for the RTF2’s aggressive grip texture and night sights, noting that he values training with the same gun he would carry defensively rather than using a dedicated race gun.
Key takeaways
- Colion recommends choosing a competition gun that can also serve as a carry weapon to build proficiency with the gun you would actually use defensively
- According to Colion, the Glock 19 offers an ideal balance between concealability and full-size shootability for both carry and competition
- Colion advocates for the RTF2 grip texture as sufficiently aggressive for control without requiring custom stippling work
