Have Glock 26 - Do I Add G17 or G19?

I had a G26, sold it didn't like the small grip even with a Pearce extension. I don't like the G19 that much either, right now I have a G17 and G20 which are better handguns than either the 26 or 19... my EDC is a Springfield Ultra Compact in 45ACP... Get the G17, much better handgun than the other 2

Why do you say the G17 is much better than the G19? All due to the grip?

Bit of age on the thread, but I had the same question. I own a 26, 19 and 17 as well as a 27, 23 and 22. All have functioned beautifully. If there was a third size in 10mm and 45 ACP I'd get them just to "round out" the sets.

Obviously they all feel somewhat differently in the hand, but how it feels is unimportant to me since I can overcome "feel" with practice. Kind of like breaking in a new pair of leather dress shoes. They'll be stiff and a little uncomfortable at first but the more you wear them the better they feel. Nothing like a comfortable pair of old shoes. Same for Glocks. And truthfully, for Smiths, Brownings, Berettas, Rugers and etc.

If you have the plus two mag extensions for the 26, you in effect already have a 19.

The G19 does nothing for me...I own a G26 and a G17. While the G26 is my favorite CCW, I will say this....after having carried 1911's and HiPowers, I have no problem carrying a G17.

G26 covers CCW, G17 open carry...

First of all, I completely disagree with the opinion that the G19 is not a lot different than a G26. The G26 is, IMHO, the ideal carry piece for most occasions. The G19 is GREAT, and I own one. You can pull it off as a concealed carry piece, but the G26 is a much nicer fit.

I have a G17 because I'd like to do some competition shooting in the future. But, I consider the greatest pairing of all time to be the G19 and G26. The G17 is great, but there's nothing it can do that my G19 can not.

I carry 26, and i like it. So much so I bought a 19. No idea why, but the 19 gave me slide bite, so I traded it for an xd. Good trade, as it turns out!

I would get a 17 or 34. 19 is useless if you have a 26, in my opinion.

Thanks guys - sold my Dark Earth 19 a few days ago and actually made $125

So I am down to my: G26 Gen 4, G17 Gen 4 Dark Earth & Glock 30 OD.
