Help with CCW Choice?

[Brass Rain]

I carry a G26. Its about as small as you can go and shoot as well as a service sized pistol. Good capacity period and really excellent for its size. Never shot a Mak but I hear good things about them. Honestly, any of the three would be a good choice for CCW it just comes down to individual preference. I would shoot each and make the choice based on that.

The firearm stores and ranges around here don't have a wide range of try-out guns, or at least not a Mak or LCR... maybe a G26.

How is the G26 as far as recoil? I can't imagine it's that much heavier than the Kel Tec and Kahr offerings, right?

I've got a Glock 26 that I'm thinking about selling to fund a LCR purchase actually which is how I found this post using the search feature. I like the fit and feel of my glock and I know it's just me because I've seen other people shoot really good with it but I can't seem to hit a dang thing with it lol. It's super reliable and you were asking about the recoil which is almost non existent. It has a little snap to it but I could shoot it one handed all day long with no ill effects from recoil. The Glock 27 is a little different though and it's not nearly as pleasant to shoot and way harder to keep your follow up shots where you want them. I have no way of testing out anything in my area before purchase but I really wanna try out the .357 mag LCR as a potential new carry piece.

J frame revolvers are pretty simple to operate,a little harder to shoot well,but they go bang in times of need.

I have carried a Jframe for years. Now, recently, in the last 2 weeks I aquired a G-26. This thing has done nothing but amaze me. It is more accurate a shooter for me than my jframe, and even though the slide is wide, it still isn't as wide as the cylinder on my Jframe. I am very satisfied with the G26. It seems to conceal as easy as the J. The only thing I had to do was add a pierce pinky extension to my mags.
