Besides a CCW, I have a Class G Statewide Firearm License which allows me to be an armed security guard. Here in Florida you have to requalify every year with either a .38 or a 9mm. As we all know, .38 have been largely replaced by at least a 9mm.
I carry a Beretta 9000s in 9mm Type F, and was planning to requalify with it. However, the process assumes that the mags hold at least 12 rounds, and mine have not arrived from Beretta.
I then was offered a Glock 17, and did rather well, clearly passing. Since I had never fired a Glock, it was a first-time affair, and I found the trigger a pleasant experience.
My question is this: For those on THR who have (or have had) fired both the 17 and 26 with significant range experience, what are the similarities and differences between these models which you feel impact the firing experience.
My thought is that I might get a 26, especially if I end up with a 17 as a work gun.
