Glock 26 or XDs 9mm for carry?

[raeken45]

I am looking to get a new carry pistol in 9mm and am trying to decide between a Glock 26 and XDs-9. I have a XDs-45 now that is my every day carry, but my last couple of range trips have shown me a .45 is a little difficult for me to quickly reaquire my target and follow up. Double taps are not pretty. I have shot a G26 and liked it and will be shooting the xds 9mm this week, but was wondering how much difference there is in IWB carry. I know the Glock is thicker but I don't know if it is much harder to carry since I've only ever carried my XDs. Anybody have experience carrying both? Thanks

I have a g26 and xds45. Xds is slimmer, but the g26 is not difficult to carry iwb. I carry my g26 everyday summer and winter with no problems. The xds sits in the safe. Ymmv

I have no experience with the XDs but I carry a g26 every day. Love it! No problems with thickness and having the ability to carry an extra 17 round mag is a big plus to me.

26, not that much bigger and more rounds.

I am open to others but really think a 9mm is what I want right now. Relatively new to shooting and can afford to take more training and practice more with 9mm. When I can find it.

Glock is great gun there resale value seem to be high than the XDs
G26 would be the way to go

The amount and availability of accessories is a big plus for the G26 too. One thing I would have to get used to is no manual or grip safety.

Just pretend it's on there and you'll be good to go.
