Hey guys I'm looking at a new ccw either the MP40c MP9c or Glock 26. I do not currently have a subcompact pistol for carry, I used a mp40 fullsize during winter months as I wear a jacket over it and no one can tell. I previously had a Glock 27 and it felt like My hand was being smashed with every round fired. If the MP40c recoil impulse is anything like the 27 I do not want it and will get either the MP9c or 26.
Anyone have anything to share on the topic? I'm leaning more to either the MP40c as I have a lot more .40 than 9mm I already own the fullsize version so I could have extra mags. The 26 would also fit as I have a 17 for extra mags. I'm really going to try to rent one at a range and test at least a box through each pistol. |

Own a 17 and had a 19 at the time. I traded the 19 off for a shield 9 and a raven holster. Very happy with the shield. You give up 2 rounds to get a lighter slimmer gun. Recoil is very manageable. |

Can't really go wrong with either one. Personally, I have a surgically repaired middle finger on my shooting hand and Glocks hurt my knuckle so bad that I can't shoot them. I carry a M&P9c in the cooler months both IWB in a Crossbreed Supertuck Shorty and OWB in a Blackpoint Tactical kydex. I had to add an Apex DCAEK to get the trigger like I wanted. I've always found stock Glock triggers more than acceptable so you may want to consider that expense.
I guess I'd shoot both and then make the call. |

You sure you aren't talking about a 26? The 19 holds 15 rounds in the mag. |

I vote shield 9. Super comfortable to shoot and accurate. I sold my G27 after firing a few mags through my shield it was that good. The big dot sights are easy to acquire very easy to conceal. AND you can get by pocket carrying it with the 7rd mag and I dont feel like I'm going to blow my dick off since it does have the safety for the rare times I do pocket carry. Yes you lose some capacity but the mags are small enough to carry a spare without weighing you down.

Ruger SR9c and remove the stupid magazine disconnect (easy to do). I put in a Ghost Inc. trigger, too, and altogether makes for an awesome carry pistol.

Hey guys I'm looking at a new ccw either the MP40c MP9c or Glock 26. I do not currently have a subcompact pistol for carry,.... I own (and like) all three of those guns and a G27. Any one of the three that you mentioned has less recoil than a G27. I carry the G26 because it's smaller than the M&P's and is easy to shoot and quite accurate. Put a G26 side-by-side with the M&P compact at a gun store, you'll see what I mean about size. I put a Pearce pinkie extension on one of my G26 mags for a little extra grip length for range use. Buy any of those guns with confidence. |
