I bought my G22 (40 S&W) new back in 1999. A few years latter I bought a Glock factory G31 357 Sig barrel for it and carried and shot it as a 357 Sig for a while. Then I bought a Lone Wolf Distributors 9mm Conversion Barrel for it. That was my first experience with a 9mm Glock. Being that it wasn't a stock Glock setup I never carried it. I just shot it at the range. I really started to like the 9mm in a Glock though.
Last year I bought a new Gen. 3 G34 9mm. I love it. I bought a nice holster for it and carry it at camp quite a bit. The more I shoot the 9mm the more I really like it. So much so that last month I made a deal with my dealer for something I don't use anymore and my G27 (40 S&W) for a new G26, some ammo, an extra magazine, a case and he gave me some cash.
Just as my G34.....my G26 is awesome. I shot my G27 very well. But I shoot the G26 a lot better. I had to put the magazine extensions on my magazines as I did with my G27 so I can get my pinky finger on the grip all the way. I know the 9mm has less recoil so obviously rapid fire is easier. I didn't think it made that much of a difference though. Not only can I shoot my 9mm pistols faster then I can my 40 S&W pistols, they seem to be more accurate as well. I shoot really tight groups with them.
I put Trijicon Night Sights on all my Glock's that see night carry. My G34 shoots Federal HST 124 +P ammo the best. I'm going to put a 100 plus rounds of them through my G26 and see how it shoots them. Hopefully it shoots them well. My G22 and G27 shot Remington Golden Sabers 165 gr. and Federal HST 165 gr. pretty much the same so it worked out well having both of them shoot the same ammo.
I feel just as comfortable with how well I shoot my 9mm's as I did with my bigger 40 S&W's. That with todays good ammo, I'm confident my 9mm's will serve me just as well as my 40 S&W's did/do, if not better. I'm not getting rid of my G22, but I really think I need a Gen. 3 G19.....soon! Anyone else going back to the 9mm??
