Buy both!
The big thing is like you said the 17 will be a pain in the ass. At 75' I can still put rounds through the bullseye on my 19. Honestly what I am doing is I have the 19 for carry, the 30 for a back up, and then I'm buying a 34 for competitions. If multiple guns aren't a solution, go with the 19. I say this because I'm assuming self defense is more important than competitions.
