Glock 17 & 26 vs 19?

[ssgrock3]

When the 26 works for people, it really works. Snuggles into your palm and stays tight and points naturally. It can be a do all just fine. Even works well in competition.

I shoot a 26 like a laser, but dang if it doesn’t carry well even in a quality holster, the extra barrel length of a 19 kept the weapon tighter against the body.

G19 is the quintessential fudd gun...if you own one and say so, I hope you have other guns besides a pump shotgun and a 223 bolt gun or something.

You can’t go wrong with a G19. A G17 is big and doesn’t conceal well, and a G26 doesn’t fit a lot of peoples hands due to the short grip.
Having owned all three, if I could only have one, it would be a 19.

Same

I didn't quite get it but maybe I'm too slow.

What I said in this thread was only in reference to the OP’s question, I carry a 30s in God’s caliber.

I've got one of those....it's the only Glock that I haven't gotten rid of.

I own all three and for carry I have owned a 17 forever and use to carry it till I bought a 19 , and carried the 19 till I bought the 26 . I love the 26 , with the Pearce extensions you get 13 rounds , its a good compromise between the 19 and 17 in that respect.

Any reason you went with the aftermarket extension over the OEM glock +2 mag? I tend to gravitate to anything OEM for reliability but I do know Pearce has a good rep, I'm just surprised how many folks use them over the glock +2 mag or extension for the G26 and wondered if maybe there was some good reason I hadn't figured out.

I have to believe this is tongue in cheek , as I've owned a Glock since they've been available in the country and remember being chided for buying such a cheap gimmicky gun at the time. Now literally everyone owns a Glock or something that more or less looks like a Glock and an AR15. Hell the only way to not look like everyone else is to own a real hunting rifle and I don't mean one of those plastic Ruger Americans or Savage Axis rifles .
