Heading to a gunshow tomorrow to pick up one of the following:

G26

PM9


I have a G17 so I'm leaning towards another G26 (had one and sold it) for mag interchangeability.  However, I have been eyeing that PM9 and have shot my brother's many times.  Is there any reason to stay away from the PM9 over the G26?  If you have one or the other, what do you think about it?

I agree with ikor. The PM9 is much more concealable. I carry mine everyday, everywhere.

What's a 9 minimeter and where can I get one?

Thanks for the thoughts, gents.  I'll give that PM9 a good lookover tomorrow.

You can't really go wrong with the Kahrs (as with a Glock), but as people have said the Kahr is much more concealable. The main positive for the Kahr is that it is so thin, under 1 inch thick, which is very nice. I have a P9 Covert which I love and would recommend to anyone, even over the PM9.

I was going to get a Kahr over a G26 until I priced the mags.  I had sticker shock from the price of extra mags for a Kahr.  I got a G26 and have never looked back.  The thickness of the Glock doesn't irritate me since I know there are 10, 124gr 9mm +Ps at my disposal.

Never did update this so I thought I should:

I ended up getting the G26.  The Kahr is a fine weapon but I just couldn't find the right price on it.

Anyone have an IWB holster recommendation for the G26?

Thanks.

I like my Comp tac, C-TAC IWB holster.  It conceals the subcompacts very well.

For "deep" CCW, the Kahr fits my needs much better than the wider G26. In fact, I can hide a G19 about as easily as the 26...but that's just me. The Glock will have interchangeability of mags, and some holsters also, but all in all, the G26...for me...is not a really viable deep concealment handgun. I am sure others will disagree, and that is how it should be, but the Glocks are just too wide for some applications for this shooter.

I had a G26 traded it for a PM9.  Love the gun, feeds everything so far, accurrate, and no problems.

Nevermind didn't scroll all the way to the bottom.

Thanks again for the recommendation.  Very happy with the CTAC.
