Unless you just specifically want an identical backup for your primary carry piece (nothing at all wrong with that, BTW, I have more than one myself), since you have a 26 and a 19 I would go bigger and stay with 9mm (same ammo and mags) unless you specifically want a different chambering.
Personally, I would skip the 17 and go straight to the 34... my favorite Glock for anything except CCW. If you want a different caliber, a 21 in .45ACP is also a great choice. JMHO. |

I have three Gen 3 Glock 19's and all three play different roles. I have one designated for CCW, one for home defense with a threaded barrel and supressor, and one for SHTF gear loadout. Anyone of these can be used for home defense. These are the only Glocks/pistols I own but I don't see myself with a different pistol or caliber.
I've also owned other pistols but sold them all and came down with the Gen 3 Glock 19. |

LOve my gen 3 G 19 for carry, also have a gen 3 G 26 for carry. My question is would you buy another G19 or a different caliber? Since my philosophy is to have 10 mags for each pistol, I tend to go down in pistol class. 19 mags fit a 26, 21 mags fit a 30 and so forth...since I have 2 Glock 19's, my next will be a 26. The downside is finding 26 mags, but my 19's will work as an emergency back up. I would like to have a 17 but do not want to start collecting a new set of mags. In addition with today's ammo craze, I am not taking on new ammo classes...but then again, I have all three pistol caliber s are covered, would like new rifle caliber but that is not happening...if I do, it will be .243 or .270, as these are the caliber s that all of the stores seem to have on the shelf. 77 |

I carry a Gen4 19. Love it. It fits me perfect personally and I trust my/my family's life with it day to day. Got a good deal on a HK USP40c. As hard as I tried I just couldnt love it. So I traded it for another LNIB Gen4 G19. Ended up trading that for a NIB Gen3 G17. Since I had thousands of rounds on my carry gun I wanted to distribute the workload to another gun for practice. While I like the 17, the Gen4 19 will always be my favorite go-to pistol. For me, it just plain works.

Hell OP, if you want another 19, get one. Perhaps make one your dedicated nightstand/truck gun and the other your dedicated EDC.
It's just a personal preference, but I can't bring myself to buy two of the same thing. Why spend the money on something I already have, when I can put the money towards something else and have a little variety. So, if it were me, I'd probably go the route of a 17 or 34. Or, if you like the size, get a 23 in 40SW or a 32 in .357Sig. G30's are also similar in size to the 19. Everyone needs at least one .45 in their collection. Plus, most 19 holsters will fit a 19. Or just do what I'd do and get a G20 or G29 in 10mm.
