OK Ladies and Gents... I am thinking Seriously about a Glock 26 for a CCW gun.. I currently have a Glock 19 for this purpose, But its a little to big... I was thinking about the 26 because its smaller and I could carry a G19 mag as a backup... What else would you recommend??? Preferably 9mm or 45 acp are my calibers of choice....

Why not.It's a good gun.I carry a Glock 27,and a SigP229 or a Kel-tec p3at
but I like the Glock fo-tay

I carry a G26 most of the time. However, lately I have found I enjoy going back to the G19 because of the capacity and it's not much harder to conceal especially in the winter months. It feels so much better in my hand too.
If I am not carrying the G26/G19 then I have a Ruger LCR in my front pocket.Comment

Good choice for CCW...Comment

Great idea. If I ever get a CCW gun, it would be the G26.Comment

I have one, and it has been very good. I am debating selling it. We would use 33 round magazines in the thing with cheapo Wolf ammo. Never missed a beat. I should probably keep it.

26 with a 10 round mag loaded and a 17+5 for reload.There are 3 kinds of people in this world.
The wise, learn from the mistakes of others.
The smart, learn from their own mistakes.
The others, well......they just never learn.

My understanding is that on the CA CCW, you can list only 4 guns. Of those, either a Glock 26 or 27 would be on my list. That would be driven by the size.RIP Louis Awerbuck. I miss you and your training.Comment

For a CCW, on the CA permit, it lists only 3 lines hence alot of PO chiefs will only allow 3 guns. But there is nothing that limits the number of guns approved, that's left up to the discretion of the PO chiefs.
As to the G26, I would recommend getting a G27 and for a CCW. Hot round in a small package, and if you had to, you could put a 9mm barrel in a G27, but I don't think you can put a 40 cal barrel in a G26.
And on my CCW, I list the G20 (10mm) G27 (40 cal) and a Kahr PM40 (40 Cal).I'm Rick James...Be-otch!!!!

I can attest to not trusting the 9mm barrel conversion in a real situation, but this is not a bad deal if he wants to train or plink with both 9 and 40. I would not trust my conversion barrel to save my life, I haven't had many problems with it but many of my friends allowed it to jam due to poor grip and cheap ammo. When I'm on the range I can focus on my grip just fine, but I have never been in a position where I needed my gun so I'm not sure how I would handle it then.Blessed are the peacemakersComment

I have the G27. it is PERFECT for CCW because it's super small and lightweight, but I needed to add a mag extension so my pinkie would fit on the grip. If you go subcompact, and have med-large hands, expect to buy mag extensions lol.
now all i need to do is actaully get my CCW
LOL...that's what I bought this gun for in the 1st place...
BTW- if you plan on stopping somebody in there tracks you need more than a 9mm. My buddy is a medic and see's shyte all the time....like people surviving multiple 9mm blasts to the chest...."To disarm the people is the most effectual way to enslave them."

My list:
G36 .45
G27 .40
Kimber CDP Ultra .45
I use Minotaur IWB holsters for all three.
The G27 & Kimber are fine guns but I keep reaching for the G36 most of the time."I Always Tell The Truth Even When I Lie"
