Glock 26 or Glock 36

Another vote for the G26.

Get a Glock 26. It's the perfect back up to your Glock 19. After that, buy a Glock 17. Your G19 would be the perfect back up for that.

Then, when you're ready for another .45, look into the Glock 30s.

G26 with night sights for me. I also have a 17.

I'd carry the G19, it's my favorite!

G26 and G30

I had a 36 and sold it to a member her with full disclosure about FTF and stove-piping. This happened several times with different, quality carry ammo (Gold Dots, HSTs, Rangers.) I had 3-4 failures in the first 100 rounds. That's way too high of a percentage for a carry gun. The 26 (and 27) are sweet guns - super accurate and dependable.

Ditto on the Glock 36. If you get a good one great, but I had the same experience with function as the gentleman above and as I found out that is not uncommon. That one and their mags are a different model from other glocks. Have a Gen 1 26, 3000 rds perfect function since I bought one when they first came out long time ago. My kids will get the 26 when my mind goes.........

Which one!?
I've had a 26 and traded it for a xds which I ended up getting rid of. I regret trading the 26.
I currently have a 36, and its sweet to carry and alright to shoot, but I just am not thrilled about always having to have an extra mag on me. Also the 36 isn't much smaller than my 19. And that brings me to my dilemma, I have many mags for my 19 but only 3 for my 36, I loved the fact that the 26 uses the 19 and 17 mags.
My thinking is , sell/trade the 36 and get a gen 4 26, then later buy a 4in 1911 for my only 45acp as I am kind of done with poly 45's
Thoughts?

If by any chance you want to get rid of your G36 for a Springfield Range Officer 1911... let me know! ;-)

Both.

Both.

Friendly rule of thumb, guy: if the last post in the thread is more than two months old, and you're not adding anything new or groundbreaking to it, just don't...

I think the 36 is one of of GLOCK's best carry pistols. I like mine, even carry it at times.

 

[ModernGunner]

Keep the 36, because it's '10 more'!

Actually, the OP already answered his own question. Had a 26, regretted selling it, now wants another. Kind of a 'Well, duh' thing, there.

As for the Wilson Combat, nice guns, to be sure. But JMO, if buying it takes more than 3% - 5% of the current checking account balance, it's not a good purchase. Throwing that kinda on something that doesn't shoot any better and isn't any more durable seems like a fool's errand.

 

[ModernGunner]

Both.

That is NOT a 'quality post'. Sorry.

 

[JJM7288]

That is NOT a 'quality post'. Sorry.

This is Not a "quality post". Sorry. Already admonished and moderated for frivolous, no quality stupidity.
Had the same decision point between the G26 and G36, so bought both, like them equally.

Gentleman! I resent that. I'm trying to project an image of a big, bad mfer. That's why someday I want the following stickers on my truck rear window: 26-2, 5th Special Forces, Glock, "I love bare knuckle boxing," and "I like naked Rotweiller wrestling."
