Glock 19 or Glock 26 for EDC?

The 26 is my choice. I just feel a little more comfortable with it. An extra mag in my left pocket and I am ready to go.

19. Gen 2 or early Gen 3. My 2009 Gen 3 model was slapping me with brass like I was talking dirty.

In my experience the 26 is only slightly more concealable than the 19 (I carried a 27 for about 2.5 years before switching to the 19). If it were a little thinner, allowing for pocket or ankle carry, I might feel differently. But if I'm going to have to wear it on my belt anyway I prefer to have a duty size weapon which the mid size Glocks just barely make that category in my opinion.

The 19 is so concealable I don't see the point behind the 26. I think if glock wanted to make a 9 smaller than the the 19 it should be a single stack.

Pierce Grip makes extentions that hold up to 2, maybe three, extra rounds. I like the ease on concealment and would pick the 26.

I have a Glock 26 that stays under the dash and I carry a Bodyguard 380. I keep a G17 mag in it with a slip-over sleeve making it very comfortable in my hand. If my clothing permits me to carry this, I switch to my G26 with a 10 round mag. G26 is pretty easy to conceal and you can use higher capacity mags with no loss in reliability. It gives you options with no loss in function and reliability. My only comment is to by good mag sleeves and do not over tighten the sleeve on the mag.

BTW - I'm selling my trigger guard laser (Crimson Trace - $125) and the guide rod laser (LaserMax $150) for the G26 if you buy one and interested.

if you can shoot the 26 without the grip extension then go with the 26. round count is not a problem with good shot placement and ammo.

I personally would go with the 19 as opposed to the 26 just because the 26 sits weird in my hand even with the pinky extender on the magazine.
