Needed a concealed carry pistol for work. I chose a G36. Just got back from the range after a 100 rounds of break-in fire. All I can say is WOW. The gun fits my hand, it's light and easy to carry, and, DAMN, it really shoots. My son, who's a much better shot then me, shot basically one ragged hole at 21 feet. It's a great gun that I'm happy to have.

I'm still waiting on mine... it has been a month since I made my purchase from my local ImpactGuns store. I'm very impatient with these things... lol.

I hate Glocks, but this one actually fit my hand like a dream compared to the others. Can't wait to shoot the thing.

I think the 36 rocks. I just switched back to mine for carry recently.

Good choice....easily concealed too. Piece +0 extensions help the grip a little too.

Always wanted one, I just read way more complaints about this model than any other glocks.

Disassembling it, cleaning it and of course shooting it, I can see why it might be more prone to problems.

It's a light compact gun wrapped around a big Ol' caliber.

I also learned it's very easy to limp wrist it. I have no idea, but this may be an issue with some and they simply attribute it to a defect in the gun.

At close to the same dimensions as the G19, I'll take 15 rounds of 9mm everyday.

A lot of us need every extra bit of thinness we can get out of the grip to conceal it comfortably... I tend to wear clothing that fits my body. This, and the "1911-ish" feel to the grip is what sold me.

I agree. Maybe it's the slightly more narrow profile combined with the lighter weight (of less ammo), but my 36 carries much more comfortably on me than my 19. YMMV.

yes, same with me. It's a noticeable difference in conceal ability for me.

On another note, anyone taken down the backstrap (grip mod) on one of these? That would be my only complaint.

G36 was my first pistol purchase. It's my main carry weapon, and shoots like a dream. I love having it in the collection.

Glad to hear you like it. I love mine.

My CCW "rotation" goes between a 2nd gen G19, my G36 or sometimes when it's hot out, i'll wear a keltecP32.
