I pocket carry a little Taurus 9mm 12+1. It wasn't an expensive gun but I had carried a really nice Colt 1911 but decided I want to be able take better care of the Colt. I was hesitant on getting the Taurus but I am really surprised how well it shoots.
I bought it new for 200 bucks after a 50 dollar rebate from Taurus. I have been carrying it about a year now. Still a great little gun. The finish is wearing a little, that is it only down fall I have found so far.

Do you carry without a magazine?

No, still spending time breaking in the holster. Galco makes a fine product. A little ez draw on the contact areas inside the holster makes the break in quicker. I few thousand draws and it's perfect. It gets better everyday. When I'm gone my son will carry this rig one day.

I carry my 1911 with an IWB holster, put I prefer pocket carry with my 9MM. I can take it along regardless how I dress.

I run a Walther PPS M1 in both an IWB holster (leather) and in a Galco ankle holster (depending on the situation and degree of concealment desired).
Previously I carried a Para Ordinance Executive Carry .45 ACP. I even ran an entire Gunsite pistol course with that sidearm. It shoots beautifully, although I plan to sell it because I no longer use it for daily carry.

Funny!
I just bought a new Glock 19 a few days ago. It is going to live on the plate carrier
Boresight Custom Glock 19 and/or near-stock Glock 43 for me.
I switched to the 43 from a Walther PPS simply for the continuity (I have a lot of pistols...42 of them are Glocks though) and access to mags, holsters, and sights.
The PPS is underrated and can be had at really low prices if you look around. I'm an accuracy snob, and the PPS with Gold Dot 124gr +P is nearly as accurate as my CZ AccuShadow and custom STI 9mm 2011 with a Scheumann barrel.

I have found all of the Walthers to be exceptional on accuracy, both my daily carry PPS and the PPQ in the drop holster. In .45, I have not found another pistol as accurate as the USP from HK.
The Glock is the AR15 of pistols though. Proven and ubiquitous. I plan to see what Overwatch Precision can do with my 19.

What are you planning to have done to the G19? Short of milling on the slide they are easy to mod yourself. I took the finger grooves off, undercut the trigger guard, beveled the mag release, swapped out the slide release for the factory extended model, changed the connector and polished the internals, changed the sights, etc. At some point I want to change the grip angle but I haven't gotten around to it; I'll stipple it then if I do.
