I see that a lot of people have ignored your 3 choices and suggested others...

I vote for the .40 cal. My every day carry is the G23, (compact size .40) and I have no problem concealing it under a T-shirt. My dad has the sub-compact .40 and it shoots really nice as well.


Having that said I'm probably going to be getting a sub-compact 9mm before long

Don't overlook the G26, and I would also consider a G30SF. As you can see from my signature, I like variety.

Good luck.[/QUOTE]

I was going to chime in with the G30sf. I hope to get one this week. I have a G27, my girlfriend likes shooting. So I need a new one.

Try a few before you buy.
Glocks are OK but not the only option out there.

Full size M&P40's hide quite nicely with 15 +1 in Galco's Summer Comfort IWB holster. You almost forget its there after a few minutes.


It arrived yesterday Mike and Bill and is everything I expected. Thank your crew for me, they do good work.

Back to regular programming

Stay safe

i like my g26 but yes on
g27, g36 and g39

I wish the 45GAP would take off big time but 100 years of experience with the 45acp is hard to break

Another vote for the 26,It is the perfect CCW IMHO.

glock 19 is my opinion

agreed!!

i would choose the g27 from your list but actually i own and would choose the glock26 in 9mm
more bullets in the pistol and with the glock 17 magazines in your pocket for backup you have a lot of capability there

What?!? The G38 is a .45 cal compact the size of a G19. I carry one every day with 8+1 rounds of Ranger T 230gr with a couple of spare mags.

The choice should be obvious, It's the one that feels best in your hand.

If it were me I'd lean to the .40 gut I get to that conclusion out of what I believe the recoil to be and when it comes to a carry gun one has to think about the follow up shot. That 357 gig round is a good one but the recoil is going to be more that your 9mm by a good bit.

The other choice...A 380 I wouldn't like as my primary carry weapon but that's a personal choice. I know several people that love the round.

So...Hold them all. See that gives you that lovin' feeling and I'm sure you will have many happy times with your new purchace

I love my 33 wont carry anything else.

Another vote here for the venerable G19!

i carry my G19 everyday i love it just load it up with +P rounds and ull be aight

For those that carry a G19, what brand/type of holster do you use?

Galco WB226 for my G23:

G23 in a skyops at work and I generaly use the USA when wearing jeans. If I use a belt holste it is the Side Snap Scabbard. On occasion it makes it into a jackass holster rig. With winter comming I will probably get more use out of the shoulder holster for the next couple of months.

Out of the ones posted i would go G27.Get the +1 Glock extension mag as well...

19 or 26

I'm looking to carry a Glock on my ankle. I'm a big guy with big hands and I like a high caliber round with good grain for the power.

Anyway, I was thinking about the G30SF (.45 cal) or a G23 (.40 cal). I'm leaning toward the .45 cal. Both of them feel really nice in my hand. REALLY nice.

Side notes:
Do they make a G30SF compensated? Is there a need for it?
What is a fair price on these guns? Locally the G30SF runs $559 and the G23 is $510. The reg. G30 is $567.

Thanks! I'm new to hand guns but have been shooting rifles all my life! I've enjoyed reading the forum!

Glock 30 sf is next on my list,,prices your finding are average ,,don't pay anymore than what you have listed,,great gun

Here is my carry rig for my G26,,it's from a new private maker,no name yet is what I'm guessing,,anyway he sells them on Glock talk in the sponsor showcase section
