[QUOTE="Buzzdraw, post: 885763, member: 385"] Same story for the 27 over the 23 as far as felt recoil. The 9mm 26, with the best carry ammo and good shot placement, will do the task. The 40 S&W 27 will perhaps do the task a fraction better, but with more recoil than a 26. There are more really good defensive ammo choices in the 40S&W than in the 9mm. Your plan to give the 26 to spouse, while you get a 27 will work. Another option could be to just get a 2nd Glock 26. A 26/27 series Glock is a good bit harder to shoot well at distance (15+ yards) than the 19/23 series. Across the card table; it doesn't really matter. Some special gun handling techniques for the subcompacts will significantly up the hit potential at 15+ yards. You have to practice with these techniques. Someone already posted that they prefer to not add the magazine extensions, with the reason of keeping the gun as small as possible; I concur. For reload mags, the full frame mags fit and are my preference for backup mags. [/QUOTE]
