We have the 26 & the 19. You cant go wrong here. for all the reasons above. heck just consider ammo cost alone. I prefer the 26 for summer carry winter brings out the19. If I could only have one it would be the 26. Just my 2/c. Same holster for both too.
What Glock?

I have the G19 and G21. I don't have big hands so the 21 is a bit of a mitt-full, but it's very accurate and easy to shoot. Ammo for the 19 is cheaper and it's a good winter carry gun. Many feel the 19 is the best all-round Glock.
Both have advantages and disadvantages, which is why I have both.

All the parts are standard third gen Glock parts.
Only difference between the RTF2 Glocks and standard third gen Glocks is the frame texture.
RTF = standard third gen frame texture
RTF2 = more aggresive frame texture
RTF3 = standard fourth gen frame texture
The RTF2 frame texture was created in response to LE request for a more aggressive frame texture for use in wet/humid enviroments.
A common complaint about the RTF2 frame texture was that it was too aggresive/rough for CCW usage (rubs skin raw & accelerates wear/tear on clothing).
Around Q3 2010, Glock made the decision to discontinue it for civilian sale but keep it as an option for LE/mil/gov only sales.

Quiet beat me to it, the RTF2 was to my hands(and clothing)just too intensely aggressive, often causing abraisions to my hands during fire. I would take the G-17 over the 21 for many reasons, the primary one being that the G-21SF I owned blew up in my face, sending me to the ER for stitches to both my face and right hand...
Few situations where a G17 would not serve you well. In one of the Advanced Tactical Shooting courses I took, the instructor (a sergeant in a large Michigan PD) asserted, that the 9mm will penetrate through-and-through every time, and with the added number of rounds over a .45 ACP, you have more rounds to take out the spine and stop the attack. Love my G17, G19C and G26. My G34 was front-heavy and my G21-SF was just too durned large. For my G17, I have the "America's Heroes" edition in recognition of the 9-11-2001 NYPD and NYFD heroes who answered the call.

I'm faced with a similar situation. I have a friend who has a G21 and a G34 for sale and I'm about 90% sure i'm going to buy the G34.
Man, they'll have a 20, 24, 31, 40, 50 model by then. Jeebuz, let us know what you get, I wont hold my breath. Good luck, you've got a long time to decide.

In 9mm Glock is best of breed. 17/19/26/34 you won't find a better 9mm.
They are Accurate, Reliable and Practically Indestructible.
Get the Glock 17.

TomADC, I have a Glock 21 and it came with two 13 round mags. I believe 10 round mags are from back when they had a ban on large cap mags.
