As for using the generic stats from GURPS Lite Fourth Edition, the problem for me is that they're a little too generic. Trawling these forums, I have noticed that the universality of GURPS is its greatest forte and its greatest flaw.
If you want to use the more detailed rules, it's not unreasonable for SJGames to expect you to pay for them. Hans Christian Vorstich did an amazing amount of work researching and writing GURPS High-Tech. You'll find it useful beyond the weapons statistics, there's lots of rules for TL5-8 equipment, not just stats but rules for using them too. Any game that features lots of gunplay in particular can definitely use that book.

But we're getting off track here. The point is, have I determined the stats for the Glock 19 correctly and would they be compatible with a campaign using GURPS Lite Fourth Edition?
That's where you lose me. Gun stats "compatible" with GURPS Lite must use the generic stats in GURPS Lite, anything more complicated than that isn't GURPS Lite anymore. Isn't the whole point of using GURPS Lite (except as a free demo) to not be bogged down with the full complexity of GURPS?
