Glock 26 : lets discuss

[RandomHero]

been looking for a CCW gun lately. looking at G26, M&P9c, and the SR9c. today i wet to my local pawn shop cause they always have a **** ton of guns, and their new merch is cheaper than the gun store down the street, and their layaway is badass.


anyway, they had the G26 new and the M&P new. the G26 was $499 and the M&P for $479. i handled both and i really like the glock. the M&P also felt really great. i think im liking the Glock more, i can use the mags from the 17, 18 and 19, as well as all the upgradable stuff on the gun. But like i said, the M&P was just as awesome too. i dunno

I dont have the $$ to go and buy right now (being poor sucks), but i said the pawn shops layaway was awesome because it is. 10% down, 10%/mo. i almost threw down $50 today for the G26.


what do you think? remember, this would be a Conceal Carry gun only. I dont think i would do much else with it as my full size P95 is already my home defense and ranch sidearm.

note: the SR9c is now out as a choice.

Here's something I wrote a while back. http://www.warriortalknews.com/2010/12/whats-your-top-new-years-resolution-this-year.html

My G26 is the first pistol I bought.

Don't tell it, but I think I should have gotten a G19 instead. I can't imagine it being that much harder to conceal the G19, and I would have an easier time coping with using the G19 for other things besides concealed carry.

I've got both and swap between the two based on what I decide to wear on the morning. Thinner shirts don't hide the 19 as well.

I have the g26 and love it! And I can conceal it fairly well. But you can't go wrong with ether.

Best of luck :thumbup:

I'd vote M&P for ergonomics, otherwise do the 19 with the RTF.

 

[Mikewood]

You like the G26 the best?
Nuf said.

I tell first time buyers, when they don't take my advice and try shooting a bunch of guns, to go Glock 19 as the resale is better, from what I've seen, than the 26.

AND

The 19 is the "Goldilocks" of guns. Not too big, not too small, not too fat, not too slim, not too heavy, not too light. After carrying around a G19 you'll know if you want to compromise more and get smaller or feel comfortable enough to carry a full sized gun.

i went g26 over the 19 for carry because i can make the capacity big or small, i can carry the standard 10round mags for smaller size or i can use the larger magazines for the 17,18,19 models. the glock19 magazine with a grip spacer fits really well

I went the .40 route & got a G27....love it!
Depending on what I will be driving, I either carry a G23 or a G27.

I have a G19, love it.

But some days, I wish I had a G26 and a G17 instead.

: )

I love my G27 but it is very difficult to conceal with only a tshirt in an IWB. Maybe it's just me? But like it has been said a 26/27 with extended base plates are very close in size to a 19/23. Thus why I'm going to a 19 & 23 for carry when possible and searching for a single stack warm weather piece.

which is why im considering the 26. i know the 19 is the "just right" model but im looking for deep concealment and small.


also with the 26, if the zombies start coming i can drop in the 33rd mags and make my way out of the city. hnoes:

About the same size as a bob-tailed 19/23, so still not the same size. If you normally wear a large you need to wear an XL to conceal. You have to dress around the gun, no matter what gun you choose.

I'm getting the 17 next to complete the trifecta. It's going to wear an RMR too!

The RMR is pretty sweet on the Glock 26/27.

I didn't need to hear that.
You're just making me want to get my 19 and 26 all dressed up.

I had my wife already prepped for me to order a 17 from Gabe....

Guess I'll have to reconsider selling off some pistols and tools that aren't getting used anymore.

I've got a new TSD Combat Systems Aqua-Terra Slide w/RMR02 en route. If you want to try it come on out.
