Myth. Look up videos of c models at night and they are even less of a flash than several other guns.

I can verify this to be truth at least from all the night shoots I have done with them, I spent quite a bit of time night shooting with a 19c. Especially when its foggy vs. a non compensated.
Lord, make me fast and accurate. Let my aim be true and my hand faster than those who would seek to destroy me. Grant me victory over my foes and those that wish to do harm to me and mine. Let not my last thought be “If only I had my gun”; and Lord if today is truly the day that You call me home, let me die in a pile of brass.

You are saying that it blinds you and you specifically use it at night?

It was a loaner gun that I used during night shoots for a while. Until I decided what to purchase.
Shoots great, sucks as a night shooter though. lol

It is just silly because people know about other pistols they swear by that have bigger flashes but I can understand 19vs19c the c can be a bit more. That being said there is no atomic blast that goes on. Hell when you use a bright light and it lights up walls it immediately effects night vision more than muzzle flash. I don't want to convert someone to using it for cc but will tell the other side of the story.

It is more noticeable than a standard 19. however if you are not going to be shooting in low light then it wouldnt matter.
if you want it to be a carry gun, you should be able to sight and target in all conditions.

No low light for me. This would mostly be just a GSSF gun for me as I have other guns that I MUCH prefer to shoot than a Glock... No offense to the Glock guys. I seem to shoot pretty well with them but I don't like the feel of them at all.
