I've got a Glock 19 and I want to get a backup gun for it. When I mean backup, I probably won't be wearing two guns on me like Massad Ayoob advises. That might be nice in case of a TEOTWAWKI / riot / Katrina scenario.
What I'm most concerned about is if the Glock 19 has to go to the gunsmith to get repaired. Its primary use is home defense / self defense.
So: should I get another Glock 19 as a backup? Or should I get a Glock 26 as a backup?
The 19 is good because it is an exact backup, but sort of boring.
I'm leaning towards the 26, because it is close enough to a 19 to function the same. It can use the 19 magazines. I could wear it with the 19 if needed. Also most of the internals are the same. Plus it'd be interesting to see how the subcompacts are like in the Glock line.
What do you guys think?
