I like this format. Wouldn't mind seeing the 19 and 17 vs their respective competitors as well.
Definitely worth seeing a video on! I have a Rock Island STK100 modeled after a G17 and dispute some reviews, I really like it!
G19, G17, G19X, G45 MOS FS, plus other brands same size.
Same, there are tons of glock clones out there of various sizes. Lots of comparison videos on YT, but I cant think of any that are unbiased and show a wide range of them all at once.
Perfectly agree on the subject, though more from the CZ P10F owner's perspective.
I shot one thinking I wanted a 40 cal version. The meaty part of my hand was sore the next day of shooting the 26 20 rounds. Deep concealment is the only reason I would consider.
My first handgun that I purchased back in 2003 was a Glock 26. Still have it, still shoot, still carry it. Dropped in a new trigger and sights. I have other 9mms that I carry as well but that 26 is still solid!
genuinely helpful comment. i'm 19 now just researching handguns for when i'm 21 and can legally conceal-carry. i want something small as to not be uncomfortable when sitting down or generally walking/moving around. the ammo capacity at 10 and being able to be expanded to 12-15-17 is nice as well for at the range when i wanna have some fun. thank you for commenting that it's been reliable for so so many years now. it was very helpful :)
@@IamOregano I wouldn't hesitate to get a G26 man, no matter how many carry guns I buy, I end up carrying my G26 more often than any of them lol
The versatility is incredible, best bang for your buck if you want something thats pretty damn concealable but have the same mag options as G17/19/34.....
I just bought my first gun, Glock 21 gen 3, it was my uncles that he never even shot, I’ve upgraded a bunch of parts, aluminum frame, lighter trigger, blue laser, and a switch, and recently bought a 45 round stick magazine, definitely gets a lot of attention at the range😂
You can also use 27 round pmags and 33 round glock mags.. heck you could slap a drum in it
@@sirsir108 right on only a month late xD
It's a glock. Love it or hate it. If you're already in their ecosystem, I don't see a problem with staying G26.
They might have been the best ... but it’s not 1994 anymore
I respect if you prefer something else. I love it and I am in 2023.
@@Adam_WildeI can’t stand the grip angle, but if you can shoot well with it then that’s all that matters.
@@ellwoodwolfThe new smaller single stacks might be the new hot thing but they're not objectively better.
@@georgefloydsinhellwbreonna5330 yeah, that makes sense. It definitely does come down to how you train and how well your system works for you.
Haven’t had it in a few years, but I carried a G26 for four years as my primary carry. Fantastic gun, so easy to shoot well. Traded it out for a Germanic brother, a Walther P99AS C. I could honestly go either way, both are fantastic, but the P99 Compact just looks better!
I don’t care how slim and small the new micro 9’s are, the chubby subcompact’s are just easier to shoot well.
Your channel is one of the few remaining channels that still do accurate comparisons without sponsor influence. I'm still new at firearms. Really appreciate your honest knowledge. Thanks Chris.
The G26 is that old-school pistol that a lot of us absolutely love even though we don't carry it every day. It's like that old friend that you don't talk to all that often, but you also don't need to because you know that as soon as you do you'll pick up right where you left off. I have two G26's for a reason, and they would probably be the last ones I would sell in my collection.
Shut up
I've carried my 26 for years (12+?). I tried a few the single stack 9 models when that was the rage, but went back to the 26. The newer smaller models with a better capacity are attractive, but I lack the motivation for experimentation.
Maybe it's my age (probably), but my 26 is familiar and I trust it. It's now ugly, worn and has thousands of rounds through it. And I liky carry it every day for the foreseeable future.
Stick with what you know. The 43x gave me a serious case of tendinitis. Large hands gripping the narrow grip did it. The only time I need something small is going to the doctor and taking off the clothes. I attached a holster to a clip board and keep a 19 in a messenger bag when that happens.
Same. It’s proven.
Great comment 👍
It’s a proven, great gun. It’s a classic. Just stay with it. It will never let you down.
The Glock 26 did it right and did it first..
If you are a person who doesnt have unlimited funds and needs firearms that fit into certain systems... i,e self defense, home defense, shtf wrol, you need to have glocks. at least one 17 19 26. preferably a 17, 19, and 26. There are more glocks out here than any other pistol,and judging by where this world is headed commonality is going to be important. spare parts and mags are plentiful. Good luck finding a fns9c recoil spring or extractor when you cant just order it online. If you give no worry about that and are only going to have one handgun.... then you can choose any of the guns mentioned (except the sig p365, stay away from everything modern sig makes). choose whichever one fits and shoots best for you. Im personally a glock, beretta and p226 guy (but as stated stay away from any modern sig guns)... i have enough mags and spare glock parts to build out a couple glocks. Everytime i order from brownells i make sure to pick up a spare extracor, ejector or spring just to have. the ubiquity of glocks outweighs the downsides. If your pistol doesnt work because a part broke and you cant replace it.... then that better feeling grip doesnt really matter. I was a glock hater back in the day, and swore by hammer fired guns, but for the prepared citizen you need to have a standaard double stack glock.
Yep thats why I went glock , a 7/32" punch is all you need to take it apart and work on it YOURSELF. And any part is available
Completely agree.
Aaaamen Brother.
Why not just have the 26 and switch out to a larger mag when you get home?
Wasn't looking for another compact, especially a Block...but I went in a sporting goods store recently and they had the G26 Gen 5 for $359. I had them double check the price then asked if they had more than the display model. They only had the one and I couldn't resist that deal. Who wouldn't!
I love the Shield Plus but if it didn't exist, the G26 would be the smallest I would go in 9mm. Its shootability is vastly superior to every micro out there. The beauty of the Shield Plus is it shoots nothing like a micro.
This comment could have been worn by me.
Yes the shield plus is my best shooter out of my 43x, sig p365, p365x, and hellcat
Word! Took my Shield 🔫🛡 plus shooting today, and it is BOSS!
My shield plus has over 5k rounds no issues and shoots nothing like a micro
I too like the Shield plus and find it much easier to carry than my Glock 27 so I often do these days. But were it not for the comfort factor and my much less dangerous circumstances I would still use the 27 a lot more for concealed on body carry. When the need arises though as in like being in the woods with Grizzly bears and also needing a gun that will carry in all states the 27 still gets the call.
The 26.4 was my first ever gun. It will forever hold a place in my heart. I’ve since moved on to a 29.4 for daily carry. Same capacity, more power and fits my baseball-mitt hands much better. Gave the 26 to my mother and it’s perfect for her.
Great comparison, I personally would go with the M&P but absolutely nothing wrong going with a no frills gun like the G26
I have a G26 for EDC. Glock's Blue Label program brings the price down by at least $100. Some simple modern upgrades -- Apex flat face performance trigger, Truglo night sights, extended release controls, grip extender, and Talon grips turned my gen 3 G26 into a nasty little beast that I love with a passion. Interchangeable mags from a G17&19 are a big bonus if >10 rounds is legal where you live.
On the talent grips, which texture did you go with?
Right on the nose 👃 👍
Yeah, there's smaller options now, but I like the Langdon striker control device, reliability, and shootability of the G26.
Please continue this as a series for 19 and 17s. Most new pistol buyers automatically go with Glock because of the recommendations from gun owners that basically lean on their own understanding Vs someone like you with your resources and extensive knowledge.
The Pearce grip +2 makes the 26 so much better. It’s the best I shoot any of my Glocks too FWIW.
How much smaller is it than a 19 in the grip at that point, after the extension?
May as well carry a 19.
@@jessesando8582 The 26 is 4 inches with flush fits. The Pearce makes it 4 1/4on the rear and 4 1/2 on the front side of mags. The 19 is 5 inches with flush fit mags which also conceals great. 26 is better for me day to day though, and the extra 1/2 inch the mag gets really makes a difference in my ability grip the gun with my entire hand and control recoil. I kind of setup my 26 to be lighter for shorts etc. and my 19/red dot for work and jeans, but mostly I do like to just grab the smaller 26 with my 2 12 round mags.
@@HWG-wm8ld again, I have both and choose the 26 often. To each his own but it’s shorter and lighter. Shoots great too.
I carry it with a 15rd g19 mag to get my whole hand on there.
I carried the G26 for several years. I shot the P365 and found that I shot better with it, so I started carrying a P365. I now carry a P365XL and I shoot even better with it. If needed I would go back to my G26 without hesitation. Just my opinion, but all the guns you evaluated are very good for EDC.
For me, and as you have shown, the G26 is wider than many of the other small 9's. I prefer to carry the Shield 9mm or Sig P365 9mm.....
The Glock still holds its own after all these years. I prefer most of these other sidearms over the g26 but you just gotta respect the old warhorse. My personal pick is the shield or p365.
I would love to watch people tactically shoot micro pistols. I'm certain that their accuracy would be horrendous
@@jlinka79 most people with guns don't know how to shoot.
Also I've seen guys claim to be great shooters and their targets look like bird shot hit it
Got a 26.5 for summer edc, 19.5 for winter. Trijicon HD on the 26, HD XR on the 19. Sold the 43x. Gave the shield plus to the GF. I've shot all of the subcompacts and minis. Still prefer the 26 if going small.
sold my 43x about to buy a 26 mos with trijicon irons and RMR installed
Didn’t need to get the 19, could’ve gotten an extended mag on the 26 with a mag sleeve and call it a day.
I’m not a glock man myself, P365 for me. That said, I just picked up a P10S new for under $350...man that CZ shoots nice!
that’s a steal where are you located? I have one as well p10c & p10s i got through PPT got both for 600 each, that p10c is fuckin solid i always have it with me.
Kentucky. KYGUNCO had them for quite a while for $317. Picked up a P10C a week after the P10S😅
G26 man here since they first came out. Won't be changing up anytime soon. Love the high cap mags that fit it. Not many others can do this to the extent the G26 does. IF I was just starting out, yes, I would try some of your choices!
If you have it and it works for you, no sense in switching to something you're less familiar with!
Great comparison, I'm an M&P guy, carried the first gen shield for years, and changed up to the shield plus when it came out, love it. Also carry the M2.0 4inch from time to time. Would love a comparison like this with G19 and its competitors......although I already know I'd chose an M&P.
Great video again, as always. 👍
During the gun rush (2020), I bought a G43 and the SIGP365XL. I loved my SIGP365XL but ended up selling it after two years because, since the beginning, at random times it got stuck with a fired round, and that’s no bueno. I never have had that problem with the G43. I prefer not to sacrifice reliability just for fashion.
I experienced way too many FTE's with my g26, factory mags,and reliable ammo. I later sold it. I have since had a hellcat and p365xl. No FTE issues. - Shrug -
Did you try swapping the extractor and plunger+spring? When u had these failures, were your gun clean? @@jss1724
I shot my buddies 26 the other day and was pretty amazed at how easy the recoil was to manage. The 26 is way easier to control vs the original 365. I do want to try the 365XL and Macro.
I carry the M&P 2.0 4” Compact frame. No issues, years and thousands of rounds. Carry it everyday (unless I’m carrying my Shield Plus).
Reliable. Easy to break down, maybe easier because I always found those two springs to push down on Glocks for dissemblly a little tricky at times. Feels good in my hands. Easy for me to shoot accurately. Great track record with Smith and Wesson. Can’t go wrong with one. Mine is the slightly older model without the flat trigger or optics cut. Not a big deal to me but I’d say get the newer one.
But to each their own. Whatever gun works for you, train with it, and carry it everyday.
So fricking easy to break down. Much agreed
Thats how i feel. I really want an ez shield chambered in .380 acp. My current is just a shield plus in 9mm. The stories my buddies told me with how accurate/almost recoiless the .380 ez is 😂 I might have shot one and not noticed one time, but it could've been an ez chambered in 9mm
Good video. I normally carry the Shield Plus. However-my last 2 road trips (on one now) I realized the perfect setup is carrying the G26, have a G19 in a car safe (for backup, wife, SHTF, etc), and then put my Sub2000 in a bag that is easy to get to hotel rooms, etc. Then I bring extra G19 mags that fit all 3. I carry the G26 OWB with a cover garment. It actually prints less than Shield Plus. I like this system. Never plan to sell my G26!
Not impressed
I’m impressed
Outside of the P10S and Vp9sk, the G26 is easily one of the best subcompact I’ve ever shot simply because it shoots like a compact. The smaller thinner guns I just dont like…
I love my sk.. don’t know what it will take for me to switch it out.
First time I shot an H&K was a VP9SK, I was blown away honestly.
My g26 shoots better than my friend's g19 in both our hands.
I definitely shoot my G26 better than my G19
@@FederalPacificEh its the perfect size, I like the 43X but having to get the S15 mags to have more rounds without making the grip longer is not my cup of tea. Having the ability to just run factory 15, 17 or 19 rounders as backups to a factory 12rd mag is a much better option IMO
Awesome review, thanks. I am a G27 guy, my wife carries the G26 on some occasions and a G43 on others. I was REALLY hoping you might have included Shadow's CR920 in this review. Either way, very informative.
My G26 is for sale because I like my P365X better. The thinner gun with a greater capacity is an enormous advantage.
I have both too, but I won't sell the 26.
How much?
The lack of drop safe is a nice feature too.
@@thejaytea24the P365 series have a firing pin block. Are you talking about the P320? I don't think the P365 had the drop safe issue. Are you talking about a trigger blade safety?
The G26 takes 17 round or 19 round, or 33 round, or 50 round (drum) magazines!
Glock is King 👑
I had a G26. Sold it because there are so many that just feel better. I never felt I had a solid grip on the 26 when drawing. The P365, G43x and 43 absolutely feel more solid when drawing and shooting like in a SD situation.
I had exactly the inverse experience. I have had a 26 for 24 years. Last year I bought a 43 that had a 43x slide. Kept it for about six months and sold it and went back to the 26.
@@JoshJones-xd5mw fixing to do the same, got rid of my 27 for a 43x but I'm going to fix that mistake with a new 26. These comments prove 1 point, no ones hands are the same and no one should ever buy a gun based on recommendations only.
Great video as always. I’m still a big fan of the 26. It’s one of my primary carry guns. But I also owned it prior to the micro 9 invasion and I have lots of 15 rd mags. One of my favorite configurations is the 15 rd mag with x-grip sleeves. If I didn’t already own one and wasn’t so invested in the platform I might consider other options, but right now none of them offer enough more to make the switch worth it for me.
Really like my G26 it doesn't print that much and it will take all glock 9mm mags including the 33 rnd fun stick or even A drum mag. I have owned one since they came out in 1995. And I have had An FFL since 1997.
The truest testament. Time.
I'd definitely like to see a similar comparison with the Glock 19 and 17. Great observations!
Love the G26, I shoot it so well. And it takes all the big boy mags. 👍
The Canik uses any TP9 series mag up to 34 round I believe and the trigger is amazing, it’s optics ready, has a match grade barrel, and $200+ dollars cheaper. The Glock also has no rail…
@@luckymanham302 You do understand that Glock mags are somewhat more ubiquitous than TP9 mags (whatever they are)?
@@AllAhabNoMoby you said “big boi mags”, which implies that you can use stick mags with the g26. I’m just saying that the Canik can do the same with higher capacity Canik mags. Magazine availability/ commonality has nothing to do with your original statement. I have 30+ round mags for my Elite SC and they are readily available for sale. Then again, I also have a Shield SMS2 and flashlight on my Canik, whereas your G26c can’t accommodate either without buying more aftermarket parts, or paying $$$ to a gunsmith. Perfection
@@luckymanham302 If you're deliberately playing dumb you're doing a good job. Of course it's all about the availability of Glock mags.
And I never used the word 'boi." That's all you.
@@AllAhabNoMoby I just told you Canik mags are readily available. Are you slow? Your Glock was innovative in 1985, unfortunately it’s 2023 and has been left behind. It’s low capacity, low on features, and overpriced. Plastic mags are garbage.
G26 is still the king of edc in my book. I’ve tried them all and ended coming back to it. They finally came out with the MOS version in the states. Hopefully they release the mod 1 here as well.
Same here brother, I always find myself carrying my G26.5 more than anything these days lol
Amen to that … I have the hellcat , shield plus , p365 and the xl as well not to mention the 43x and 48 lol 😝 yes I have problems but the 26 gen 5 is my favorite!! I shoot it way better and it’s reliable af
I love carrying my g26 with a 50 round drum in my ankle holster
Only way to carry a 26
Glock 26 period.
I have a S&W shield plus, had to send it in because won't lock back after last round. I'll get it fixed then I'm selling it. I will be getting a Glock 26. That's what I was going to get to begin with. I gotta start listening to myself. 😮
Love my G-26, I can’t seem to grip the thinner guns correctly for some reason. It just fits my hands better.
Me too.
Glock 27 40s&w because 9mm in a 3 inch Barrel is basically a 380! If you wont carry a 380 don't chronograph your 3 inch Barrel 9mm!
A man of culture I see
Loved the content. I believe that comparison videos are the absolute best as they provide us, pros and cons of the firearm compared to some of its counterparts.
Great video. Completely agree though I’ve never been a M&P fan. 365xl is now my primary over my gen 4 G26.
The 26 is still outclassing all sub compacts especially in capacity. Can't beat the 33 rounder glock mags👍
Great video. I’ve become a Canik guy so it’s good to see my carry weapon in your comparison. Glock to me has gotten complacent.
You and me both on this comment.
TP9 Elite SC or Mete MC9?
I bought the Mete Mc9. Turn around maybe a month later and bought the elite SC.
The SC fit my Mete Mc9 holster. I was shocked. Also pretty much all magazine compatibility love it.
Trigger on the SC is much softer than the MC9 but love them both gunna buy the whole line up.
@@WeBeFit boff’um 😏
I’ve carried the 26 since 2013. I’ve looked at new guns in similar size and yes they have more bells and whistles, but I always seem to find an excuse on them to not buy them and try them 😅. My Glock 26 just runs, every time. I’ve become surgical with it in close by defensive distances. It’s just like a part of my hand every time I shoot it. I know you’ve probably heard this a million times but if it ain’t broke..🤷🏻♂️ but it I do love the fact that there are so many options out there for anyone to get into carrying.
I actually got the glock 26 about 2 or so years ago and honestly i love it. I shoot it better than the slimmer guns ive owned only thing i really dont like is the glock sights.
They come with those sights because A) they work fine B) it keeps the cost down C) most people that actually shoot have sights they prefer.
Try the Trijicon HD sights.
@@HWG-wm8ld yeah I enjoy a 3 dot system. It's what I have on my 1911
That’s great for target practice. Inside 7 yards, sights don’t matter. Between 7-15 the large front and black rear is much faster for defensive purposes.
Unpopular opinion : You don't need your pinky to shoot accurately. Love my G26!
My friend has a 27 that she inherited from her dad. I thought the recoil would be really snappy in a pistol that small but it's much more manageable than I expected.
40cal will do that...
Run 500 rds through it on a cold day; like hitting a baseball with a loose grip. Great gun though,
When I shoot my 27, it feels about the same recoil wise as my Sig P365. In fact, the P365 is a little snappier than the 27 because it's even smaller with a thinner grip. No matter, I can shoot both accurately with no issues.
.40 S&W is not a snappy round...just my opinion
My carry gun is a glock G27. And I think it would have been a better gun to compare.
With the others you chose. I think the Versatility is superior to all the others. First you can very cheaply Add add additional caliper barrels. The twenty seventh is a forty Caliber. but you can also get a 9 mm and a 357 sig barrel for it. So you will always be able to find ammo. Any of the Glock mags will also fit. So you can go all the way up to 33 rounds in 9 mm. If you wanted to. Glock accessories are more numerous than any other brand of Firearm. I actually prefer the larger grip. Mine was purchased as a law enforcement trade in And I can tell you It had very few rounds shot through it and came with night sights at a price comparable or lower.
Then the guns you compared. It is a common backup gun for law enforcement, so you can find the Law enforcement trade in's for cheap!
LOVE the comparing videos! As a new shooter and new CPL holder this info is SO valuable to someone like me! THANK YOU!
My H&M’s p2000sk has replaced my Glock 26. Same basic size with hammer and lem trigger. A bit old some would say but gets the job done. Great video Chris!
I fall into the categories of I'm a big glock guy, lots of magazines and trigger times on glocks. That being said, I've been issued M&P's for duty use and they've shot very well for me. At the end of the day, what you train with is what you go with and and I've got so much time and money invested into glocks that I probably won't ever change.
Just got my carry permit in the mail yesterday. Bought the Shield Plus PC based largely on your review!
Great choice.
Thoughts about the following:
I have a Gen 3 G26 and G19, as well as a Kahr PM9.
I live in California, so we don’t have a lot of options when it comes to *standard* versions of the newer mini/micro 9mm’s.
We did recently have the Shield Plus and the p365 added to the “roster”… but *only* in models with *both* a loaded chamber indicator *and* a magazine disconnect safety.
The older Gen3 G26 and G19 that are on the roster are grandfathered in and don’t have these extra safeties.
So… if I already have a G26 for CCW (and the Kahr, which only has 6+1), are the extra safeties on the newer roster pistols a reason *not* to use one over the G26?
Basically, for those with more tactical knowledge than I have, how bad is the potential liability of a magazine disconnect safety when it comes to tactical reloads etc. How often do such things even come into play in a civilian situation ?
Thanks!
Great video. The 26 (gen 3) is still available in CA while nothing else in this video is. Hope that changes soon, but in the meantime its probably the best carry option that we have access to.
If you don't mind the hammer there's the HK P2000sk as well.
The 365 JUST got allowed onto the roster!
I have the 26.5 and the 19.5. I love the hide ability of the 26 and it’s a great handle. My friend has the Sig 365 and even with a small to medium hand, I feel the 365 is too small in my hand. OK, that’s personal feel. I have no issue with the trigger or the stock sights. Here’s my issue, I’m not a Gun enthusiast like some other guys and the reliability factor is very important to me. Also, being fair to the 26, it’s always the 26 against the field. It hides beautifully, it’s very accurate very reliable and that keeps it relevant. Great video though, I do love the comparisons.
I had the Glock 26. Got rid of it as it was very uncomfortable to shoot. Glock knuckle, magazine pinch, and vibration to the hand. That is me. I traded it for a down payment for the Berretta 1301 Semi Auto Shotgun. I carry a pistol that's the same size and is SUPERIOR to the Glock 26. That is the CZ 2075 RAMI in 9MM. Unfortunately, the RAMI is discontinued but I have one. It's a hammer fired 10 round sub compact. I do like Glocks as I have a 17 and 19. Either way, awesome video! KEEP ON ROCKING!
it was my first private gun. Not a mag without a malfunction, terrible to shoot.
@@donaldist7321then you had a lemon, obviously. Malfunctions every magazine is not normal.
That CZ weighs a ton!
Not the 2075 RAMI. It's only slightly more than the G26 from 1st hand experience. KEEP ON ROCKING
Get the hell out of here. The RAMI is a turd.
Love my 26. Have had since gen3 were new. I like the beaver tail palm grip and it’s perfect. Pocket carry all day, everyday 20’ish years. Might upgrade to the G5 just to piss off other fan boys. 🤷♂️
Would love to see a CZ P10c vs the world. Been out 6 years no and there are so many striker fired pistols that have come out since. Would be awesome to hear your thoughts on how it's held up to the current competition
On the talent grips, which texture did you go with?
Would the Sig P365 with a 17 round mag be best?
You can get the X size handle with the larger mag, and still have the versatility of the P365 original size for deep concealment.
Would love to see a G19 version of this video. So many cool pistols in that size class.
The GLOCK model 27 in .40 caliber is the BEST compact pocket pistol for self-defense💥 !
The GLOCK 27 can reliably shoot 9mm ammunition by using 9mm magazines & installing an aftermarket 9mm conversion barrel.
While I have both a G26 and G19 g5 models; my HK VP9sk is where it's at. Like the G26 is capable of receiving the higher mag capacity from Glock, my VP9sk also has the ability to carry the 10, 13, 15, 17, and 20+ rd HK mags. I love the ability to switch up my capacity modes. Sweet! 😎
I like the G26…it works..l can use the other Glock magazines in it….the amount of Glock magazines available is quite amazing……it’s not broken…lm not gonna fix it
Love these comparisons! Would be great to see a comparison of high-end compacts like the DWX compact, Staccato CS, Wilson Combat sfx9, CZ Shadow 2 compact etc.
Glock 26 best _backup_ pistol cause it's backwards compatibility with 17/19 mags. That's all you need to know.
The P10S FDE and ODG version do have night sights. They got discontinued recently. There's a version with tritium. Ludicrously good carry pistol for under $400. You can also stick any new P-10 magazine in it and there's aftermarket base plate / extension support.
I love the p10s trigger.
I ask Glock fans 'How's the trigger?'
'Well, it's a Glock so....'
I'm liking the M&P myself. Would you do a video on compact .380's? My wife has a LCP 380 with red laser. she likes it, but is there a better .380?
Compare the Glock 30 with other 45ACP compacts please. I enjoy all your content. Thanks for doing what you do.
They all work fine. Get the Glock, some Trijicon HD sights and drop in a johnny Glocks trigger.
I like the Glocks, but my EDCs are my P365s. I have friends that swear buy the Smiths. These would be the 3 out of the guns compared due to aftermarket, holsters sights etc.
I absolutely love, love, love my M&P2.0 3.6” it’s an amazing firearm for me personally. It had the best natural point of aim of any pistol I’ve shot. Perfect size and capacity as well. I’m partial to the short slide long grip pistols and this one just takes the cake for me. I have a Glock 43x and a G45 as well which are also fantastic. But just something special about that Smith.
If you want something small DB9 , if you want something kind of small that you can put a 32 round mag in. Glock 26.
I bought a standard p365 in stead of the p365x so I could always go smaller/larger with the mag. I honestly believe than the shield plus is the best micro compact there’s is. The FN reflex might be good too. You can’t go wrong with any of these!
I haven't tried the FN, but I've had several of the P365 variants, the shield plus, Masada 9s, and the Kimber R7- I'll tell you, if you haven't tried the R7, it's worth a try. Very underrated. They're a little more expensive, but the grip is amazing, and they shoot very smooth. Grip texture is amazing too.
I still carry my Glock 26
I like the Glock 26 because it doesn’t rust in my holster from sweat like the p365 does. 😆
I would love to see more comparisons like this. Perhaps with the lack 19 verses, the full-size MP and so on. I appreciate the sass comparison across-the-board. Particularly at someone who’s looking to redo his personal armory, and would like to have more general information from all the different types.
What pistols would you take in a Red Dawn situation? How many pistols would you bring with you and how many magazines?
I’ve had a few G26’s and carried them for years.. Great gun of a by-gone era. Glock’s attempts with the G43 and G43x were a hit and then a miss.
Nah 43x is the best carry glock

@@johnblocker331 either one but if I was gonna go 48 I’d just go with the 19
@@PatrioticParabellum9x19The 48 is better in nearly every way.
@@zombieslayer7759curious why you think that? Honestly curious. I have a 19x. Never shot a 48
You sold me on the S$W. Great company; great people; great guns; and they are red, white & blue.
The bottom line when it comes to owning & operating a firearm is functional abilities & useful reliability over time of all its components Glock got this in spades none if few of other manufacturers has gon phase 2 testing in military trials including sig which has never happened before a contract awarded military adopted firearm
I absolutely love my SIG P365 with the XL grip. 12+1 capacity. I highly recommend the Vedder pocket holster! It's in my front jean pocket 16 hours a day. No skinny jeans for me.
Hi, could you make a video talking about the str-9 series , the full size model, compact model, subcompact model and micro compact model? I believe those pistols are seriously underrated .
A lot of people qualify for blue label, so the 26 is $398, which eliminates the price advantage of many of the guns in the comparison. I also had mine milled by Battlewerx for an EPS green dot.
The 26 with the +5 Slr Rifleworks baseplate extension gives you the smallest 15+1 gun on the market. That’s the way I carry mine, or with 19 and 17 magazines with an X-Grip sleeve.
Keep these going! G19 would be awesome to see next.
PSA has 15 round mags for the 43x that would bridge that gap in capacity and cheaper than shield arms plus stock mag release. Also, there are so many options for the G26 is to use the flush OEM mag, +1/2 extensions on OEM mags, G19 and G17 OEM mags with a sleeve and 12 round PMags. You can make the grip/capacity as small or large as you like on the G26 which is a huge upside.
I tried the glock 43x against the 26 gen 5 and as much as I prefer the look and can conceal the 26, I find I am more accurate with the 43x and it feels comfy in my hand compared to the 26. Not sure what to go for
Let me see now, I think the best gun shown is, well, the Glock 26. Reliability, versatility, and up to 33 round magazines in such a small package.
Glock 26 shoots better for me. Can't beat the magazine capacities.
I don’t have a G26 but I do have a G27 gen3 to compliment my G23.
Great video! I enjoy watching your channel and all the information you provide.
You can convert to 9mm, and .357 SIG with a barrel swap and mag swap with 9mm Glock. G22/23 can still use either .40 S&W and .357 SIG. Still cheaper to get a mag and barrel swap than a new weapon, and maybe factor in a steel recoil rod.
@@ratagris21 Thanks!
Or just spend that money on ammo and get some education and training.
@@HWG-wm8ld that's not the point
It's the conversion options.
There is no point in having conversions. Complete waste of money. If a 9 goes through the heart, game over. A 40 or 357 don’t make you more dead. If any of those rounds goes through a lung, you will have a hole in your lung. But if you are one of those guys that show guns and think that will impress some rube, by all means get the “conversions” get the .22 as well.
Glock 26 vs HKP30SK vs Walter P99 Sub vs Sig 224.
I feel like the 26 is much better to shoot over the 43x because I can actually get my support hand on the gun
Yep. Small is easy to carry, but not to grab under stress and shoot and dry fire with.
Love my gen2 G26. Magpul 12 rd. mag is solid. 👍🏻 Good video
The most important factor for me is reliability and you can NOT beat Glock in that category. I went from the G26 to the 43x and back to the G26. Much easier to conceal AIWB and shoots much better for me! The only thing I dont like about it is the lack of an accessory rail, so I’m limited to the TLR-6.
It’s a defensive gun, you don’t need a light. In your home yes, but you would have your rifle there.
That gets thrown around a lot, but the reality is that Glock is no longer the "only" reliable gun. Almost every modern manufacturer could go toe-to-toe with Glock reliability today, if not exceeding it.
@@oskar6661”if not exceeding it” lmao stfu kiddo
There are big names that match it, definitely not exceeding it. How much more reliable can something be
@@HWG-wm8ldagreed
good comparison... personally, I like my CR920 and my P365XL
Very nice video. Back in the day I was on my way to buy a Glock 26 and stopped into a gun shop I had not visited until that day. I ended up getting the CZ RAMI instead of the 26. I do not regret my choice. Yes, the CZ is heavier and hammer fired but since I now carry a P365 I am much happier with the RAMI in my safe than the 26.
I take a Glock 19 mos slide and place it on the Glock 26 grip. Love the hide-ability of it with longer barrel and dot. EDC for warmer weather and switch back to full Glock 19 for colder weather. Great video
I have a G26 BYY Serial # that I bought in 1996 for $300 OTD at an AZ Gun Show and it still runs like a champ and I've never had a single malfuction of any type. My favorite concealed carry gun for sure, oh and it still has the original plastic sights which have been great and let me tell you the earlier Glocks have great trigger pulls far better than the Gen5!
Glock 26 with 50 round drum or 32 round fun sticks are great
I have tried so many different carry guns, including Glocks (43,43X, 48), but I always go back to my G26. I have the factory 12 rd ext and even with the flush mag, I shoot it better than all the others. I even shoot it better than my G19. It’s also so much more versatile because of the mag compatibility. I know some don’t like the fat grip or the angle of the grip, but it works for me b
I had tons of malfuntions with mine. swapped out to a p365xm, thousands of rounds no malfuntion
