So how does the glock 26 compare with the xds 9mm. Is there enough difference as far as the thinness to really tell when holding it in your hand?
xds 9 vs glock 26..

Yes. If there isn't any comparison shots all over Google and Youtube, I know there are of the 45acp version which is the same size.

I bought an XD9 sub compact and then sold it because it is just boxier than the G26. The person I sold the XD to carries it in a shoulder holster. I never tired that but an IWB just didn't work for me. The price of the great grip on the XD is the bulk and angularity IMHO.
If the triggers on the XD are improved I would consider a XDs in .45 but for now my G26 works. That is an impressive little gun.

An XD9 sub-compact and an XDs are two different things. And the XDs has a decidedly better trigger.
I have owned both, i currently still carry my glock 26.
My reasoning.
1. Shooting my chosen type of self defense ammo, 230gr + P Federal HST , that gun was just alot to handle and hurt to shoot.
Target loads were fine but still for me, .45 in the small a package was not as easy to shoot than my 124gr +p 9mm loading in my 26.
Both were the same size , length and height with the xds being taller height wise which is what matters, detracts from its slimness. And for me.. 10 rounds with my glock 19 mag with 14 since i download the mag by 1 as a reload easily wins me over vs. the xds 5 and a 7 round backup.
If im going into the realm of pocket pistols, im going to go for something that could fit a woman's pocket , come to think of it nothing but an NAA revolver could...

xds 9 vs glock 26..
Is the XDs9 even out yet? :dunno:If we're comparing the XDs45 to the G26, I'll take the G26 all day long.
Well, after going directly to SA's website, I see that the are mentioning them.

I would still prefer the G26 over the XDs9. More rounds is more important to me and the width is negligible IMO.

Same here. .18 difference isn't too noticeable iwb. Love my G26 Gen3
Yea the new XDs in 9mm is out on the shelves now for sale to the public. I have a g26, I wish they would have scaled down the xds 9 instead of it being the same exact size as they couldve made it a bit smaller than the xds 45...but I still might have to pick one of these up in the near future, I like the xd line triggers they are the closest to a glock trigger imo.
I'm picking up my M&P Shield 9mm this weekend, but, since I am a gun lover, I wouldn't be against picking up a new XDs9, just because.
My new Crossbreed Mini Tuck will be here this weekend too, so I'll be able to tote my XDs45 and the XDs9 would fit in the that same holster, so...:whistling:Yeah. It's an addiction.

Same here still CC both but my go to first EDC is the XDS9. It's just a more natural of a pointer to me. I like the G26 but am not crazy about the grip angle.

That's always the best way to do it.
I sent my G26 to cold bore customs to get rid of the glock hump. Some of my friends that don't like the glock hump now love to go to the range with me.

I do believe your the only man/women I ever heard complaining that the grip safety pinches there hands. My wife doesn't complain about it pinching and her hands, and her are pretty tender and soft. :upeyes:
