My 26's mag cap is 20, plus the one in the chamber when I use a Glock 17 mag and a pearce grip PG39 which adds 3 rounds That's my Winter carry, easy to conceal

Unless I carry the 26 with a Glock 19 mag and a pearce grip PG39 +3 extension so the mag cap is 18+1 chambered that's my Summer carry; shorter grip for lighter T shirts in summer etc.

You see I own a 19 too in that photo... it just stays home since I got the 26 years ago ....
Of course for deep concealment I can use a Glock 26 mag with a pearce grip +3 extension for 13+1 rounds in a front pocket ... but you can't do that with a Glock 19.


the shorter slide on the 26 means when I sit down, I don't have to wear my pants as high when carrying at 3:00 ... the shorter slide won't go clunk on the chair as easily.

I don't do pants on the ground, but I also don't like wearing high waste pants belts as a bra with long slides to keep the muzzle from clinking on wood/metal chairs.



I own a 19, it can be carried ... the 26 is more versatile; offers more options, and can do everything my 19 does, and more.

I do own a 19 I got in 1980s

too long a fat slide for me, so

I carry a 26 with an extended barrel (barrel length of a 19 without a fat slide as long
and I carry Glock 19 mags with +3 extensions for 18 rounds in the mag in Summer ( in Winder I carry the Glock 17 mags with +3 PG-39 Pearce Grip Extensions for 20 round mags) I use the rubber X-grip type mag spacers

The only difference is I lose a rail mount to get a better fit for concealing without clunking on a metal chair/wood pew, for my body type ... and I can always carry with a 15 or 13 or 10 round mag when I want even deeper concealment like when I wear a Speedo ... 26 gives options: 19 is ok.
