I'm thinking of selling mine too. My Shield is so much easier to shoot and holds a couple more rounds, is lighter and thinner and conceals more easily.
I don't think I'd miss it. But I'd probably pick up another Glock, probably a Gen3 19, to keep another Austrian fantastic plastic piece in my collection.

I don't think you'll regret it as long as you can always get 9mm or you keep your stash built up. I definitely like having two different pistol calibers, but it's not the end of the world if you don't, plus you'll have the AR, assuming you already have a lower.

If your not going to shoot 45 do it, if you want a good small 45 for carry look at the XDs, I love mine. They have 3 different capacity mags now (5, 6, 7).

 

[Bruce M]

If it is your first gun you might end up missing it based on sentimental value. Otherwise it probably could easily be replaced with another one down the road if you decide you miss it.

 

[Redstate]

Great responses so far. To respond to some of them, it has no sentimental value, I already have the AR lower, and I have 1911's in Officer size, Commander size and Government size. I'm not looking for a 45 to replace it.
So far me thinks I should go ahead and sell it.

The G36/ 6+1/ .45 ACP is GLOCK's CCW Best-of-Breed.

Sounds like you are tryin' to solver a problem that does not exist.

Slim, quick-change mags are another feature of the G36 that adds to its Bona Fides.

Carry what you shoot best.
(You can always re-buy one when you come to your senses...)

As big a glock fan as I am I never cared to own a 36. They just don't feel right in my hand. The trigger guard seems to put to much pressure on my finger with a high thumbs foreword grip. A buddy has one from the first year of production and it has never ran more than a mag or two without a malfunction. He refuses to send it back so it just sits in the back if his safe. Every time I handle one I think of his gun. I dont see an advantage over my G30. Just never could "pull the trigger" on a purchase of one.

 

[redcat11]

Yes you will regret it, I carry my G36 on a regular bases, that's if I'm not wearing a tank top in the humid Florida weather. If you had 1000 rounds of reliability why get rid of a gun that you already now is reliable, regardless if it is a glock. You will probably regret selling it like many other whom in the past post that they did sell it and regretted it and want another. Save up and get your BCM. Next time you may not be so lucky in getting a G36 that runs like a top.

 

[R3508]

yes.

 

[David64]

Yep....Nice to keep a collection together...unless you really need the funds...

 

[CRozek]

Buy a 30S and don't look back.

 

[Valmet]

Sold mine years ago and have never looked back. Mine worked great just didn't like the low-capacity and it didn't fit my hand well.

 

[Rocky7]

You have the 26, the 36 is for perceived better ballistic performance. The size and weight of the 26/36 apparently is nill, and capacity favors the 26. I am asking a similar question of myself with a 33 vs a 36, in my next purchase , good luck.

If your not going to shoot 45 do it, if you want a good small 45 for carry look at the XDs, I love mine. They have 3 different capacity mags now (5, 6, 7).

I gave my XD-S to my son. It wasn't up to my Glock 30S standard.

 

[BADOS]

That is a difficult question! I had a G17 Gen2 I traded years ago and was sorry for it later. I have 2-Glock 45's I don't shoot as much as my G17 and G19 right now because 9mm ammo is cheaper. That being said, if there is another ammo shortage, it might be easier to buy the 45 ACP.

So, keep it if can afford to, otherwise sell it. You'll get **** for it on a trade though. Even if they give you $250. on a trade…where can you you buy a Glock 36 for $250.? Good luck on your decision.

 

[mrsurfboard]

I never sell guns unless I absolutely hate to shoot them. Put it away for awhile, you may have a new found love for it later on.

 

[harold63]

I am asking a similar question of myself with a 33 vs a 36, in my next purchase , good luck.

9+ rds in the 33. Only half a tic wider than the 36. Corbon 125 gr should pull around 1350 fps out of the G33 with 3.42" barrel....nasty. Corbon 185 gr (or Magtech 185 gr) pulling right at 1100 fps out of G36. Nasty, also. You got to flip a coin, dude.

 

[TheDreadnought]

For some reason. . . even though I'm on Glocktalk, I interpreted your question as somehow you got your hands on an H&K G36. . . and sold it. I was like WTF?!?!?!

But even talking about the Glock. Yes, you will regret it eventually. No question.

 

[M&P15T]

I put it up for sale last Friday. Will I regret it if I sell it or is it a blessing in disguise that it has not sold yet (I can easily take it off the market)? I am selling it to finance a BCM .556 complete upper.

Well, for an AR15 upper from BCM, that's a no-brainer. Pistols are one thing, a good AR15 is a whole 'nuther world.

I used to think pistols were cool. Then I got my BCM HSP carbine. My outlook changed.
