Hello, I am close to purchasing my first pistol for concealed carry. I've narrowed my search down to either the Glock 26 (9mm) or the Glock 30 (45). If you could add to my Pros-Cons list or give me general advice, I would appreciate it. Thank you.
Glock 26 Pros:
It could be fun and cheaper to shoot with the ability to use all Glock 9mm mags, including the huge 33 rounders. Very concealable. 13+rounds standard
Glock 26 Cons:
Smaller caliber for self defense
Glock 30 Pros:
10+1 .45 caliber in a very concealable gun
Glock 30 Cons:
Thicker gun. I read the .45 cal's effectiveness is reduced if shot from a 3.78in barrel.
