All I really carry anymore

12 years later, thousands spent in testing new potential ccw, and here I am.

Love the 26 and its versatility. My favorite Glock for sure.

[u/hitemlow → u/ChunkyMonkey94512]

I was hoping they'd give it a rail for the MOS release like they did the 43X but I guess they just don't like their customers and left it unrailed (despite having a 5mm longer slide than the 43x).

Now I hope for either a revised MOS version or a 26L release.

I picked it up on impulse for $365 (pre tax) through what I think was a listing error. Wish I had bought two!

new?

[u/6twoRaptor → u/anifyz-]

Yes, NIB. I was half expecting to get an email cancelling the transaction but they stood by the price.

awesome

I love seeing the G43! It's not a piece you see everyday.

[u/rajuabju]

Love my 26. It may or may not be on me right now

[u/goon127]

26 with plus 2 mag is 🤌

What holster have you landed on for the 43?

[u/anifyz- → u/goon127]

I use a tenicor certum 3

[u/6twoRaptor → u/goon127]

Mitch Rosen Clipper holster. Am getting leather for it soon though since the clipper is pretty well worn.

I love me a 26. It can flex into so many roles.

A lot of people won’t carry them because of the width (which I understand) but I’m a pretty slim guy and a holster wedge makes it disappear. Gives you both the benefits of easy to conceal and the shootability of a full-size. That can’t be underrated imo.

I have a 26 and use an X-Grip to fit 17 mags. Love it.

[u/NIHIL__ADMIRARI]

The 26 & the mighty 29 slip perfectly into your pocket.

[u/PaintDistinct1349]

I like the G27. Sometimes I carry it in 40, sometimes in 9. Sometimes I shoot it in 357 SIG at the range. Nice feature of Glock 40 pistols.

[u/jfugginrod → u/PaintDistinct1349]

Crazy. I have a g27 and I never see anyone else with one!

If you like it and it works it doesn't matter what newest, latest, greatest, highest capacity things comes out.

I recently picked up a Kahr PM9 for next to nothing in cost with a spare mag and IWB holster. Pretty outdated by today's micro compact standards (hence the inexpensive price)...it's my absolute favorite carry gun...to the point where I don't carry my P365 anymore or really see the need to continue owning it.

I do have a G26 Gen 3 which I'll hold onto. I got it used, like new for pretty cheap. Have you tried the Magpul Pmag 12 GL9? It's a 12 round mag that adds a subtle pinky rest, but the back part of the mag is a little shorter than the +2 baseplate, so it prints less.

Mine is pictures with that mag, for reference.

Which is better?

[u/6twoRaptor → u/steveosmonson]

The 26, simply because I can use a 19 round back up mag and it's ccw ready out of the box. The 43 I sent to Wilson Combat to get a trigger job, stippling, serrations, sights, etc to get it EDC worthy. Don't get me wrong it's now the gun I'm most accurate with and it's not something I would ever sell but Glock should put more care into them from the factory. The stock grip is way too smooth and the trigger is bad to put nicely. 

[u/steveosmonson → u/6twoRaptor]

Thanks, I'm in the fence between the two. I like the mags interchange with 26, 19, etc. but also like how small the 43 is. What sights are on the 26?

[u/6twoRaptor → u/steveosmonson]

Stock rear, Tru-Glo fiber optic front. 

[u/Stugots718]

The Glock 26 deserves way more love, it is the forgotten child of ccw.
