| Recommendations on a Glock 26, pro or con? |
|
Glock 26 is a great CC gun. I doubt you'll hear any complaints, except that the grip obviously doesn't fit the pinky. There is a pinky extension for the 10rd mags though. As stated, the G19 is a better all purpose gun, but the longer grip does make it a bit harder to conceal.
I will say that if CC really is your thing, then the Glock 26 is kinda thick compared to the newer Shield and XDS. (Those can't take full size mags though). |

I carry a 27 which is the same size as the 26 and I also recently picked up a 19. For me, the 27 conceals better due to the shorter grip and bbl length. The 19 conceals fine too long as I plan on standing straight up and not bending for any reason. the longer grip pokes my shirt out unless im standing straight
I am lacking experience but I cant really think of a con unless you hate not having all fingers on the grip but the 26/27 is comfortable to shoot with pinky under the mag. Accurate and reliable. If you plan to use a pinky extension i would say just get a 19 since that will lengthen the grip which is the biggest part (to alot of us) to conceal |
| I carry a 26 daily. Also own a 27 that the wife carries in her car. I love them for ccw. Like stated above I f you have big hands you might need a mag ext. I have pretty big hands and can manage with or without the ext. I have owned a 30 in the past and prefer the 26. It's tucks iwb very good and accuracy isn't an issue even with the short barrel. I've never owned a 19 but my plans are to pick one up as my next handgun purchase. |

Quoted:
Big woops on my part, I ment Glock 36. Hell I have a 32 and 33 with. .40 barrels, just wanted some input on the 36, sorry for the mixup. Unless Glock has perfected their single stack mags in recent years, I'd pass. Had a 36 about 10 years ago and it was horribly unreliable. |
| Out of all the Glocks I have or had. The 36 was the most unreliable. I never could figure it out. I could run 5 full mags thru it fine and then next time with the same ammo it would jam 2 or 3 times. I tried different ammo. Never bought any more mags for it. I am a 100% Glock fan, but not a model 36 fan. |
