I'd vote 26

 

[1892]

I have both G-26 and G-43, my G-43 is my shorts-flip-flop choice (I also carry a S&W 642). My fav is the G-26 for most of the time (mostly due to capacity and the ability to use G-19 mags for a reload)...get both...

Although I have a 19, the 26 is my primary carry with a 15 rd 19 magazine as my second mag. But will definitely be looking into purchasing a 43.

I have a S&W 642 that's used as bug to the 26 and perhaps the 43. The (642) is also the 'down the street for milk' gun.

I'd go to a store that has a 26 to look at. I had 2 19s but sold one as I carried the 26/642 more often. I use the 19 occasionally for HD or range time.

Since you are able to CCW, I would go with a Glock 26. If any of these guns go down you could either cannibalize another Glock 9mm you own for parts or just have spare parts available. Personally, I never could see having dupes of the same pistol.

19+19+26+26

If you're going to skip out on one of those models, make it the 17 and not the 26.

 

[Bruce M]

I would choose the G26 of the two.

Even though I have (3) 26's I would suggest duplicating, get a 19, those that collect, shoot infrequently and do not carry and plan for maintenance are not planning for events that they cannot control .

Selling the 17 and duplicating the 43 would also be a better option in preparing yourself to become a better shooter. Focusing more time and money on just two platforms instead of three will expedite your skill on those platforms more quickly. I do understand that those that collect and shoot less frequently and do not carry will not see this as popular, you decide on what you want .
The longer slides are harder to conceal and carry, but we do, I use to carry a 6" python in a shoulder holster year round. I was young once.
Although the longer slides are easier to shoot there are not as accurate as a 30 or 26, and not as fast from the holster. Round count is important if you are missing or have run empty, trainning and preparation usually accomodate adequately.

Oh by the way, dups allow you to diagnose the problem, you do not have to go on Glocktalk and get the Dr. Phil version of solution, side by side analysis and on the range can solve many an issue, especially if you reload.

Personally, I'd add a 34 to the list. Would be a rarity if the 19 did go down, but you could always use the 43 until the 19 was fixed or replaced, so you wouldn't be without some form of carry.

43, 19, 34.

If you have a 43 and 19 already, I would pass on the 26 being that the only advantage it offers over the 43 is 4 - 6 more rounds depending on whether you are using factory or aftermarket mag basepads. I also don't see the need for redundant 19's being that you have a 17 and in a pinch you could always trade out ANY of the working parts between the 17 and 19 in the event of a failure so downtime would not happen on your carry pistol while replacing parts. Once you get used to it, a Glock can be fully detail stripped and reassembled in about 5 minutes.

If you want to stick with 9mm, why not diversify a bit more and go with a 34? Your carry lineup covers all situations already so why not add a pistol for plinking. That extra inch of sight radius and .75 inch of slide make a significant difference in felt recoil and target acquisition.

Saw your post after I posted similar feelings. If the 19 goes down, the 17 could supply all necessary parts to get it running again. I also keep replacement parts on hand as well. For about $50 I have a spare set of all OEM springs, spring cups, firing pin, spacer sleeve, and an entire trigger group and pins from a G17. Short of an actual slide or frame failure, I could have any of my 9mm Glocks up and running again in about 5 minutes.

 

[ChuteTheMall]

g26 for sure

 

[Kentguy]

My CCW for most of the year is my G26 - 12 +1 rounds to me, makes it a clear choice.

 

[legion3]

Of all the Glock 9mm choices, and I have had or have them all, the least useful to me is the G17, and I would skip that of the choices you have.

 

[xmanhockey7]

I like having backup guns. I now own 2 G19s. One will remain stock other than Trijion HD night sights. The other is going to have an RMR installed with a stipple job, trigger guard undercut, finger groove removal and a couple other things. The RMR one will be my go to for carry, but I will still use the other one. Going to classes it's nice to have a backup that is the same gun in case the one you're using goes down. Sure you can have spare parts, but it's much faster and easier in that situation to just grab a 2nd gun. Plus while one of my 19s is going in to have work done on it I can still carry the other. I'm to the point where I either carry a G19 or Shield (work). I'm considering buying another Shield just in case.

 

[Glock Commander]

What would you do with your GSSF coupon?

And no, another caliber isn't an option yet...

I got my 1st Glock, a G19 Gen 3. My 2nd pick would have been a G26. So that should be next.

I like 9mm too.

 

[Truth&Balance]

Casting another vote in favor of the G26. Having all three, G19/G26/G43, will give you alot of carry options.

 

[FYRELT]

get a second 19,i have two 19s and two 43s ,I have put the 43s back in the safe and went back to carring the 19 as my edc.
