Actually, my G26, and my wives G26 are our EDC's for exactly almost the above reasons, plus a bunch.....all of which revolve around the Glock question you already eliminated (e.g. 1911 JMB versus etc etc etc ad infintum ad nauseum)

I have no problem concealing my 19 (or my 17 for that matter)...but I'd still like a 26 just for the heck of it.

go with the 26. It'll do everything the 27 will do but you'll have more ammo on board, less muzzle-flip, and it's cheaper to feed.

I have the G-36 (.45) and the G-26 (9mm)...I like the 'bigger hole' option, so its the 36, it also has the better grip (for me)...OMO

Stay armed...make bigger holes...stay safe!

I liked the 27 I had but I luv my 23. The reason is I shoot it much better. I gound my self putting pinky extentions on my 27 defeting the purpuse of a smaller gun. The 23 is still concealeble with mor accuracy.

G27 is easier than the G23 to conceal, at least for me. The grip is shorter. Barrel length really makes little difference, it is the grip that sticks up and out above the belt line.

I carry my 19 or 30 every day. The 26/27 is easier to conceal. I like the 19 because I can shoot it all day comfortable at a handgun class and CC is easily.

If you like the subcompact go for it. .40 SW has never been my favorite round, but if you like it, I think it would be a fine choice.

I'm saving toward a Glock 33 (.357 Sig). I own / carry Glock 31 (.357 Sig).

The best Glock is the one I have on me at the time. I have not met a GLOCK I did not like. The all fit a need and we each have different needs - SO "BUY ALL THE GLOCK MODELS"! I am trying!
