Nice gun and reportedly reliable like all Glocks.

However, if you're going to carry something in that size, a better choice would be to step up to one of the subcompact 9mm's.

I think that entirely depends on the shooter. For some, subcompacts (Glock calls the 26 a subcompact ) just have too much recoil. Even a J frame size .38 (not an airweight) works well for some.

The last couple of years has been a Ruger LCP. Small...light...awesome. But I've never been comfortable with build-quality. So I've been trying to decide between a S&W Bodyguard and a Sig P238. My main carry is S&W Shield 9mm or a XDs .45acp. Mostly the Shield. I don't like the Sig because it's a different operation system than my main gun and I've heard a lot of conflicting reports about the Bodyguard.

So with all the reading I've been doing on the Sig I came to wish I could have the Sig with double action only. darn! I have that! I bought a Colt Pony Pocketlite about 20 years ago, sent it to Scott, McDougall & Assoc, shot it once, and put it in my safe.

It's not in the safe any more. To the range first to verify function and accuracy but I think I've found my solution.
