Lookin' to get myself a birthday present in the next 2 months. I've shot Glocks and have always loved their simplicity. Which would you recommend for a carry pistol?
Thanks.
Thanks.
In before the "Glock's don't fit my hand" and the "blah blah blah ergonomics" crowd show up!
What would you guys have done just 20 years ago?
I have a G27 and find it quite comfortable to shoot with the pinkie curled under. I've actually gotten to the point that (like Cosmose) I prefer it to using magazine extensions.How is shooting the 26 without room for the pinky?
If you are planning to use it only as a carry pistol then the 26 will conceal a bit easier. However, if you plan on recreational trips to the range or plinking out in the woods, I would go with the 19. It still conceals very nicely but gives you a little more to hang on to. I don't consider myself a "Glock guy" but I do think my 19 is an excellent all around pistol. You really can't go wrong either way.
Trips to the range and shooting in the woods are necessary for carry pistols too. What's the point of carrying something if you're not comfortable shooting it?
I've got a 23 and a 27 (the same two pistols as a 19 and the 26 only in 40 short and wobbly). I shoot my 27 much better than the 23..... I was amazed that the smaller gun would be easier to shoot.... that said you have to find a way to shoot the 26 if you have not done so. I was so down on my 23 that I really didn't even consider another Glock. I have an FBI friend that wouldn't let me off the hook on the 27 and we spent a whole afternoon shooting his 27 and I was hooked. I went out and bought one the next day.Lookin' to get myself a birthday present in the next 2 months. I've shot Glocks and have always loved their simplicity.
