I don't here much talk about the G 36, does anyone have one?
Thinking about getting one, just like to find out what people that have one thinks. Thanks. |

I have one and like it a lot, but don't carry it much since I aquired a G26. I like that I can leave a pile of G19 mags around that will work in either of my carry guns.
I still like it and do carry from time to time, don't feel out-gunned it's just the convenience of same caliber and same mags accross multiple handguns. I did just pick up a couple extra G36 mags, so it may find more time in the rotation. As for why you don't hear much about it, I would guess most people feel 7 rounds is not enough without high capacity backups. Many don't see the caliber advantage and focus on round count. YMMV |

Quoted:
Carrying a semi-auto with revolver-like mag capacity, with no higher-capacity mags available just doesn't appeal to me. I'd much prefer the G26 that I carry daily...carried a G30 for years, prior to wising up and getting the G26. Same here. Plus I can shoot my 26 and 27 much better. I sold my 36 years ago. |

I had one and loved it. VERY small and easy to conceal, with Glock reliability.
The problem was it was my only handgun, and it was a bear to practice with because it was so light and had so much blast/recoil. So I moved to a 1911, then to 9mm Glocks. Still have the 1911. |
| With the mag extensions the 36 feels just like a 19 and will fit in (all of my) G19 holsters, so that was bonus for me. There are a few out there that just don't run though. I had one and know a few others that did too. Getting glock to fix one of those is damn near impossible. Maybe they've got them sorted out now because my new one is flawless but I still have one in the safe that they won't fix and I can't ethically sell. I love them but I'm not sure I would buy another without trying it out first (my first couldn't finish a mag without 1 or 2 FTE's). I have a 30 too but that slight diff in width seems huge to me and I think the 36 is about the perfect CCW. |
