I have a smith and wesson 9mm which i like but is not a subcompact frame. I will be taking the CCW course in Ohio and debating which glock i should get.

I would like to get some expert advice on this, as it will greatly influence the handgun which i will purchase.

.357 Glock 33
.38 Glock 28
.40 Glock 27

I am leaning towards the .38 or the .40 not so much the .357 but ide like to hear what you have to say.

I want to stay away from a .45 since i feel that is too big of a caliber for the CCW and since i have a 9mm already i would like to have different caliber.

I hope your left handed! If not your drawing your gun across your body when you draw.
To me looks like he only has to pull straight up. Besides he may only be doing that to show how easy it is too conceal.

Now I would venture away from the .380. Unless you just want a gun to plnk with. I personally would shy away from the 9mm as it is too small of a round for my taste. Havent shot the .357 but it probably has a ton of recoil. The glock 27 shot pretty good. About the same as the glock 23 in my opinion.

Held a glock 30 sf today. Pretty bulky around the frame if you ask me. It may be better to check on the g36 sf with the single stack frame. Very comfortable. I would suggest either the 27, 30sf, or 36sf.

If you didn't notice it is his back in the picture. How could he pull up while drawing with out sweeping his body or at best his leg before the gun is in front of him?

Heck I wore mine like that a few time. Pull straight up till it clears the holster then bring it to your side. You arent sweeping it across your body. Besides, like a guy at work told me. He likes his like that because he can reach back pull it out and hold it behind him without the person seeing it. Then it is a quick movement and it is in front of him. Or he can keep it hid if the situation ends up being he doesnt need it and then there is no fashing of a gun at all.

I guess it is a personal preference.

I voted the 27 also, size wise its the same as a 33 or even a 26. It makes bigger holes than all three of the weapons you chose. Ammo is cheaper and a somewhat more available(in my neck of the woods) A lot of people will say get a 26 or a 19 because of capacity. Also the ammo is cheaper. Anyone you choose you will not be disappointed in I assure you that.

I have the 27 and the recoil isn't bad at all. If you think you have an issue with recoil then you should stick with the 26 but give the 27 a shot. Try to find someone that has one and see if you can shoot it. I love the 27 has a little more knock down power, but that is just me. :smt023

Besides for the cost of a barrel and a new mag you can convert the 27 to a 26 and have 2 very nice shooters. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

I voted for the .38 Glock trying to suggest a 9mm Glock. I didn't know Glock made a .38 cal.

I own a Glock 26 in 9mm and you talk about a sweet gun. Very small, easy to hide, very accurate and fairly easy to find and buy.



You might want to consider a Sig Saur or a Walther PPK in a .380 cal. same plus spec's as the Glock 26 in size, weight etc. just in a .380 (9mm short).

I have carried both the 26 and 27. Currently with the 27 but plan to buy a 9mm barrel soon for cheaper range visits. I will still shoot .40 but not as much.

easy killer im right handed but i also have a 76 inch arm span and its not that hard for me to reach around now and days i just carry a 26 in a pancake clip on holster in the pants that i got from dosborn:smt023

I have in my plans to get either a 26( I already have 2 9mm so Id kinda like to keep it all in the same family) or a 27, and Im starting to really lean torwards the 27.....lately I cant find 9mm anywhere and 40 is everywhere.....the 27 is such a great gun, but so is the 26......I guess the only logical solution is to get one of both....

None of the above.

Go Glock 19 4thGen when they come out.

Replacing my Beretta Cheetah with a Gen4 G19.
yes and good luck finding one....better order one now if you can....I cant find hardly any 19 or 26 or 27 anywhere, most places are out of them most of the time....never mind the hoopla thats surrounding the 4th gen....the fact that you cant even find a pic anywhere of one makes me think it may be longer than expected to see them..I am going to a big gun show in January with money to burn, I know its a crazy long shot but you never know what might be there....
