Sell or keep G19 vs. G26

[Gman106]

I'm in a bit of a financial bind at the moment and contemplating selling one of two EDC handguns. I have a Gen4 G19 and a Gen4 G26. I'm inclined to keep the 19 and sell the 26, but the 19 stovepipes more than I would like and is not as accurate. I'm thinking I need to send the 19 back to Glock for replacement of the ejector as I'm confident it will at least resolve the stovepipe problem, but again, I prefer the oddly better accuracy of the smaller 26.

Would ultimately prefer to keep the 19 over the 26, but remain ambivalent given personal empirical performance. So...as to which to sacrifice based on described differences and market realities, please advise...

p.s. Would ultimately hope for quick sale in DELCO area either way. Do FFL brick and mortars typically under-offer or should I consider a private sale for better resale?

Interested in the 26!

You can always make the 26 feel bigger with larger magazines and grip adapters. You can't make the 19 feel smaller. Keep the 26.

All else being equal, I'd keep the 19 and sell the 26. The 19 gives you more rounds (in standard capacity) a longer barrel, longer sight radius, and a bigger grip to get your hands around without sacrificing much in concealability over the 26.

In your case, though, it sounds like the 26 is reliable and accurate, while you're having some troubles with your 19. I'd say reliability and accuracy trump everything else: keep the gun you trust and feel better with.

Au contraire!

My 26 has a larger capacity than the standard capacity 19.




Personally, I'd keep the 19 and figure out why it's stovepiping.

My 26 has a larger capacity than the standard capacity 19.

You pocket-carry that, right?

Only when I'm happy.
