Either should serve you well.......
Actually the 36 is closer to the 19 in size than the 26. And IMHO the difference in stopping power is minimal with the right ammo. Last I this considering the round count difference the 26 probably has more total stopping power than the 36.As a EDC weapon, I cant decide between a Glock 26 or the Glock 36. They are about the same size (give or take),but which would it be better to have 6+1 45( I like the stopping powder of the 45),or 10+1 9mm( the more shots the better).
If the question is which to acquire, Glock 26 (3rd gen) all the way.
The 36 has a reputation for not living up to typical Glock reliability. Same with the 30SF. I think that reputation is there for a reason.
The two that seem to have always had the reputation are the 36 and the 30SF. A lot of people will try to convince you that it really isn't an issue. I stupidly listened to them last year and bought a 30SF. It was a POS that didn't work right even after going back to Glock. I'll be avoiding the known problem children from now on, the apologists be damned.I do not know how true any of this is as I'm not a glock guy, but I will say that my Gen 3 G26 has been as reliable as any pistol I've ever owned. Plus that I shoot it pretty well.
Thanks I did not know that. I'll pass this info onto a friend who is thinking of buying a 36.The two that seem to have always had the reputation are the 36 and the 30SF.

Wow, I wish I had waited to sell my 17 because I would have made that trade in a heartbeat!!!!I currently have both. I carry the 26 and am looking to sell the 36 or trade for a 17 to go with my 26 and 19. YMMV
They are actually quite different in size & weight.As a EDC weapon, I cant decide between a Glock 26 or the Glock 36. They are about the same size (give or take),but which would it be better to have 6+1 45( I like the stopping powder of the 45),or 10+1 9mm( the more shots the better).
The things in bold...they go together.G26 one of the most reliable CCW's......G36 good gun with a shaky track record....
I say G26 ALL DAY LONG!! But don't count out the G30SF, its not that much bigger than the G36 and is 10+1 or 9+1 with a Pearce G29 baseplate if you need a full grip.
Touche' Mon A Mi!!! :rofl:The things in bold...they go together.
People with reports like yours are why I finally tried a 30SF. And it was a POS. I know there are plenty out there without problems...but the rate of lemons seems to be far greater than the rest of the models.Touche' Mon A Mi!!! :rofl:
But I think there is a concensous that the G36 has been waaaaay more of a problem child than the G30SF:supergrin:. Mine doesn't have the -1- trigger bar and has had 0% issues EVER!
