Won a pistol at a gssf match. I have yet to own a plain 17. (I got a 17C.4 earlier in the year that is a collector piece now.)

My Glock 26 is 15y+ old nowadays.

Either will probably just be gssf competition guns. All other roles are taken care of. IE Concealed carry, night stand gun, steel challenge gun, ect.

I reiterate. Both will just likely be gssf competition guns.

I already have g34s. So no need for more. Yet.

The 26 is great if you are trying to be small. The 17 is the best all around. The G 17 in Gen 1,2, and 3 is the Craftsman 3/8 ratchet in my opinion. It works no matter what !

 

[BasicGlock]

Love both, had both, still have the G26. In the G17 I love the big grip, easy to access. In the G26, much easier to conceal (of course) and it uses the G19/G17, and yes, the G18 fun mags, and all in between (24 round mags too). If ever on a battlefield (hope not), if I come across those mags, I can use them, in my G17, not so much...........

G45. There is no reason for the G17 to not be discontinued, in my opinion.

I voted for the 26 because I shoot it better than the 17 which never worked for me. I can control a 26 very well and if I felt like having a full grip, there are options for that. You can always build up your grip but never make it shorter.

But, since you have a 26 already, maybe a 17 for shooting is in your future.

The Glock 17 is the “AK 47” of pistols. There will forever be a place for a 17

 

[MajorD]

I shoot my 26 at least as well as the bigger glocks maybe even a touch better. for me ( blasphemy!) I could be very content with a 26 as my only glock and only 9mm ( I am mostly a revolver guy, and only shoot the glocks in gssf and any local matches where the revolver is at a distinct disadvantage)

I agree ! It is the definition of pistol perfection

If it's an option, opt for a 34 for a comp gun.

 

[GrigoriRasputin]

26 to replace that older 26 you mentioned. Especially of your gonna carry it. If your gonna range day it, go with the 17.

 

[RobertF]

If it's going to be destined a competition gun, I would go with the 17 from the two options given.

IIRC Glock are not making 17.5 MOS anymore, so if you wanted a plain 17 then I would grab a plain 17 Gen 5.

 

[grecco]

Should get a glock G51,
17 slide on a G26 frame

 

[dbuck47]

If EDC is covered, I lean toward the G17 ( not that you can’t EDC a 17)which IMO is one of the best general purpose handguns available.

If the 26 is important enough to replace or supplement your old one, then go that way. I honestly shoot the 26 about the same as the 17, except for grip comfort, but this is easily remedied by a plus 2 mag.

 

[Redglock]

I hate my g26 g5.. love g3 and g4.

I like my g5 17

 

[Southpaw69]

Unless i missed it, it doesn't say for what use. Unless you need it to be small, I'd go with the 17 all day.

Sorry if I wasn’t clear. I have concealed carry and all categories covered. I’ve won 2 g34 the last two years. So was thinking of OG 17 or a 26 to replace my aging first.

They would both be used in gssf. Maybe steel challenge but the 34 has that role.

 

[Patchman]

I'd pick the G17. After all, if you come to realize you really prefer the G26 grip, you can always cut down the G17's grip to make it a G26XL (G26 extra long slide).

 

[RadarCP]

17 all day long. The 26.5 is not the same as your Gen 3/4 Glock 26 in width and in some cases won’t fit the same holsters( please someone confirm this)?

The 17 is just a fun versatile gun
