Need some input on a Glock

[GruGrux515]

Looking to make a purchase in the near future. I had a G19 but had to sell it due to some financial issues a few years back. Now I'm looking to get a replacement and having trouble making a decision on which model to get. I really liked the 19 but felt it was a little big to CC. So I'm considering the G26 but also the 43. My concern with the 43 is capacity. If I had the money this would be a lot easier bc I would get the 19 for home and either the 26 or 43 for CC. Any input would be greatly appreciated

Glock 19 chopped to 26 length would be the best of everything. I had a 27 and found the width a little tough to CC in the summer and during work. I eventually sold the 27 and now have a 19 and 43 to cover all bases.

How do you like the 43. I haven't seen one in person yet? I just think 6 rounds is a little too skimpy. I felt the 19 imprinted just a little too much, especially in the summer

The 43 is great, it can fit in my pocket with a Taran tac +1 giving me 8. I put xs big dots on there which I find OK, I may switch those to match my hackathorns on my 19. The 43s trigger is comparable to standard glocks as well. I started a thread call Glock 43 vs shield, take a look at that for a more detailed review

Get the 19. For the small difference in size the 19 is the better choice for shooting it and it carries just as easy. The 43 it a big fan of even though it fits a niche it's not worth the extra capacity of the other 2. I went through this just a little while back and now have a Gen 4 g17.

Looks like this is becoming a weekly conversation.

All the opinions to your questions are in the below thread. If you felt the 19 was to big to carry then the 26 offers little change in my opinion based on owning them all including a 17 and 43.

Huh?

The G26 is a G19 "chopped" in both barrel length and mag capacity (which is technically height not length).

If you want a G26 which G19 capacity, buy a G26, run G19 mags with "X-grip" sleeves.

The G43 has ostensibly made the G26 a gun without a niche, IMHO. If you can CC a 26, you can carry a 19. I bought a 26 some time ago failing to recognize this.

This ^^^^.

This is what I thought when I read that post.

A friend had his G19 cut down to accept 26 mags and called it a 26L.
