    I finally sold my glock 43 to a coworker after a year of him bugging me about it. Now Im not sure exactly what I want to replace it with.

    I have a glock 19 that usually EDC, so naturally i really would like a Glock 26 gen 5 if they ever come out with the blue label version.

    But I am also entertaining the P365. My issue is I already have a holster for the 26, a few mags, and its a glock... Its a solid choice.

    Someone convince me to get the p365. It looks solid, Im just so much more invested in the glock...

    I would have to preorder both of them, either the P365 though quantico tactical, or wait for my local blue label dealer to get the GEN5 G26 bold in stock.

    What are your guys thoughts?

    Sig P938 is what I replaced my G43 with.
    I shoot it much better.....similar pocket carry ability.

    I never fell in love with my G26. Seemed that my Gen4 G19 carried about as easy.

    That G19 has impressed the hell out of me, too. One of my most often carried guns by far.

    I shot the P365. There’s a ton of recoil and muzzle blast for such a small gun. The muzzle blast alone was insanely different compared to the G43. I much preferred the G43.

    ehhhhh i loved my 43 but i feel like a g26 or p365 will make me better about my EDC. The 19 just prints a little too much, but the G43 had just too little capacity. it was comfy though...

    A little of this and a little of that.
    Another plug for the G26. I really like mine, which is a Gen. 4. I installed the Glock +2 magazine extenders on all three of my mags. It’s my EDC!

    I vote 26.

    I don't have any experience with the Sig but I am a Glock guy and have carried a shot the 26. I currently rotate between a 19, 43 and an M&P Shield 9. I bought the shield before the 43 came out and I like it better then the 43 honestly. It's just a tad bigger and you get 1 extra round, but it's still much more concealable than the 19. If you want slim I would look into that. If not I say get the 26. To me it shoots the same as my 19 and I wouldn't ever feel underguned with a G17 mag as a spare. That and it will fit in all you G19 holsters, has the same controls as your 19, the same trigger, and a lot of interchangeable parts.

    yeah i think thats what i am going to do, im on the email list for GTDIST so i will know when the G26 g5 is available. (blue label)

    i am going to get the one with the ameriglo "bold" sights.

    Although, while visiting the gun shop two days in a row, i got to play with a few guns. I didnt completely fall in love with it, but im sure i will learn to love it. Just one of those things that felt right, but im scared i won't love it.

    I really like the CZ P-01 though, and the RAMI. Actually really considering one of them, but they are big also.
    The P-01 fit me like a glove, honestly too good. I just hate how they dont finish the interior of the frame!

    I will buy the G26, but a P-01 is definitely on my list...

    I’ve really enjoyed my Springfield XD Sub Compact. Have one in 9mm and is a great carry gun. Well built gun for the money.

    although I’m more of a sig fan than a glock fan, I’m voting 26 here all the way. I’m not a impressed with the striker fire trigger on this model - I’d take my 26 over it all day long.

    Oh I like my sigs also. I’m recently a Glock convert ... I have a few sigs. But I’m with you, the p365 does not seem like it’s ready for ccw. You all got me on the 26 train

    Iv got the Ameriglo sights on all my carry guns and I love them. I went with the hackathorn. Front sight is an orange dot with tritium in the center and rear is just serrated steel. Really makes you focus on the front sight and allows quick first shots.

    Another Sig fan here and I'd pick the 26 over the P365 if those are your 2 options.

    But WTF do I know...my edc is my P220 Carry. :D

    I've come to not really enjoy shooting the ultra compact handguns. And thus, I don't want to carry something I don't enjoy shooting.

    I like my 19 and VP9 better than my 226.
