the CM9 Gen 2 is the SAME size in one dimension and larger in another over the Glock 17 - which is considered a full size duty gun. So, it is 'about' the same size as the G17 - which is in a different category than the G19 - that is why they made a Glock 19.
Looking at the differences between the G17 & G19, the size differences between them are minor.
As the barrel length of the CM9 is roughly the same as that of the G19, I can unequivocally say that Sootch's statement about the general size comoarison between the G19 and the CM9 is indeed a fair statement.
In all fairness, he could have stated that it is similar in size to the G17 as well, but in reality it's closer (not exact) to the G19.
