The first pistol I ever fired was a G26. I remember that I wasn't impressed, and from what I can remember, thought the grip was thick, the gun was heavy, and it seemed brick like. I think, but I'm not sure, it was Gen3. I ultimately decided on a XD 4" service model... That was several years ago.
Now I currently have a subcompact XD Mod 2, but while I was at Gander Mountain today, saw the G26 in the display case. I think that my perceptions of firearms as a new shooter is completely different from from how I view things now. It was smaller and not as ugly as I remembered, seemed like a good size, so it sparked my interest.
My question is, does anyone own both? If so, what's the pros and cons of each? That is, I'm not interested in which one you shoot the best or which one feels or fits you the best... I'm interested in the technical pros and cons features, price, customization, what you get out the box, wise etc.
