a question like that will only bring subjective answers and statements.  what you really want to do is this  and decide for yourself.

With a 3" barrel? I'd get a GLOCK 26.

i'd recommend the G19

You are just going to get other peoples opinions with this open ended question.

They are both fine weapons. Only way to decide for yourself is to get your hands on them and see what feels best, points best, and you feel confident in. Personally, while I really want to love the Glock platform, but it just is all wrong for my hands. Based on internet replies, I thought I was going to absolutely love the G19, but I had the opposite opinion when I went hands on. You really can't decide over the internet.

If you had specific questions, that we could probably help with.

Very wide open question. Use the search ("carry" brought up 3 pages alone). Get a better idea of what you're looking for, and then find a range that rents.

What other pistols do you already have?
