| Which is better for ccw, glock 26 or glock 36 |
| Whichever one you can handle and keep on target. I carry the G30SF in .45 ACP. Love it, but at times I wish I had a G26 or G19. The ammunition is much cheaper and you get more in the magazine capacity. If carrying Hornady TAP, Federal, Winchester Ranger SXT, you will be absolutely fine with 9mm. More opportunities to put hits on target and manage recoil. |

Both will be just as easy to conceal. 26 gives you more ammo and 9mm is cheaper to shoot. .45 has way more energy and knockdown power, but I will take 9mm any day. I pack a 19 when not carrying my Beretta 92. Uhhh... not so fast 
Link ––-> Rob Pincus now chooses 9mm |

G26. The G36 is a little tough on follow up shots for someone without skill. I ROed a GSSF match a year ago and everyone using a G36 for subcompact class consistently scored lower than people with a G26. I find my G26 to be just as easy to control and shoot as my G17. |

Link ––-> Rob Pincus now chooses 9mm Oh yeah if Rob says it so it must be 
Having said that I have been carrying a G26 for several years and never have I felt uncomfortable about this decision. Practice with whatever you decide to carry is the key. |

The G36 being single stack carries better for me over long days, it doesn't feel like I have a brick attached to my side like the double stacks do. The G26 is easier to shoot and didn't induce fatigue over longer range sessions like the G36 has a tendency to do, for me. I sold my G26 and kept the G36 due to the carry factor. I'm more apt to carry it if it's more comfortable. |
The G36 or any of the .40s are the only Glocks that I wouldn't own. The G36 is marginally slimmer than the G30, but is truly a bastid Glock. It won't take mags from other .45ACP Glocks, as will the G30. I carry the G26 daily. The "knockdown" power difference of the .45 is a myth. Besides, if I wanted a revolver-like ammo capacity, I'd just carry a revolver.

Neither. Glock 19. Exactly. Quoted:

19 is probably the best option possible. That said, I CCW a G17 with X300. I think I'd have a hard time concealing that, but I sure wish that was my CCW setup! I'm a little confused, what are you using Hero? I'm currently in the process of switching from the 19 w/o a light in a Bianchi 100 to using a Raven type holster with a TLR1s. Even with the light, I'm not having any issues with adding a light. |

I'm a skinny guy and the full-size Glock grips print pretty badly out my backside. Adding the light wouldn't be that big of a difference, though the holsters are a tad wider due to the light. I throw on a G23 in addition to my G27 for certain "circumstances," but there is no concealment needed during those times. I was just saying that I would love the ability to easily concealed carry a full-size Glock with a light attached. |

I think it depends greatly upon what sort of clothes you wear. |

This is what I'm working with right now.
