Green marks the better number for that row (higher capacity, slimmer, lighter, cheaper).
The short version
On paper: the Glock 19 Gen 5 carries 4 more rounds; the Springfield Hellcat is the slimmer gun for concealment (1″ wide); and the Springfield Hellcat is lighter on the belt loaded (22.5 oz). Numbers don't settle ergonomics, though — if you can, put a magazine through each before you buy.
