Return to “Opinion of Glock 26”
You're not going to back me into a corner! I reject your reality and substitute my own! A reality in which pistols come without the ability to bite the hand that feeds them!Crossfire wrote:You know, TAM, just for people like you, they make a Glocktail.

So, there. Now, it's perfect.
I'd have to agree. My wife's G19 has about as short a grip as I'd want for a double stack 9mm with that kind of capacity. And by the way, I really do kid about the Glock vs 1911 thing. I think that 1911s are much prettier and I love how flat and easy they are to conceal, but I have to admire the form of a gun that is all about function and nothing else. I don't think that Glocks are perfect, but they are good solid reliable guns, and you could do a whole lot worse. I just can't carry one because I have somewhat fleshy hands, and the overhang above the backstrap isn't quite long enough to keep the area between my thumb and index finger from getting bit by the slide - even on my wife's G19. I imagine that it would be worse on a gun with an even shorter grip. All my 1911s have a beavertail grip safety, and my M&P has enough of that overhang above the backstrap to protect my hand.speedsix wrote:...I've held the 26, fired the 17 and the 19...I didn't like the 26...not enough to hold onto for my hand...loved the way the 17 and 19 handled and shot...and believe if I were going to buy one, would go with the 19 as the best compromise between concealability and controllability...
