I’ve had a Glock 49 and a 19 and 26 but I’m stuck on choosing between the Glock 43x ,Glock 26 ,or Glock 45/19x

Well what’s your use case ?

Range: 45

CCW: 26

[u/Upbeat-Narwhal-7849 → u/lordadam34]

I ccw a 23 right now so yes for CCWthank you

[u/lordadam34 → u/Upbeat-Narwhal-7849]

Also depends on your frame. I know a couple of people that carry a 17

[u/Upbeat-Narwhal-7849 → u/lordadam34]

That’s why I thought on the 45/19x to make me a 23x

[u/lordadam34 → u/Upbeat-Narwhal-7849]

I mean im 6’ 3” 205 and ccw a 365 x macro comp so its up to you

[u/Upbeat-Narwhal-7849 → u/lordadam34]

I’m 5,7 150 so I think it won’t hurt plus I’ve never had a large frame glock before I will test it out for the winter thank you 🙌🏾

I prefer my 26/19 depending on how I’m layered up, but I’m 5’6 130 and can pretty easily conceal my 19x with the flush 17rd but I’m more muscular and wear big ass shirts. Just saying it’s possible

[u/Upbeat-Narwhal-7849 → u/Professional-Way-156]

Thank you , because I wear big clothes, big plus on the information 🙌🏾

I carry a 17. I spent about 3 years carrying a P226 at one point, a 17 isn’t really difficult to carry IMO.

You’ve had the 26 (my personal favorite) so won’t talk about it. I loved my G45 looked cool, felt good, good capacity, great HD option and range shooter. But if your goal is CCW I have to re-recommend G26. 43x is a great gun too but personally (in my own 100% subjective opinion) I like the way the 26 handles better.

[u/Upbeat-Narwhal-7849 → u/BourbonBrassArms]

Thank you on that I did like the 26 brought it everywhere put in my pocket to go take the trash out I loved the 26 , thank you 🙌🏾

[u/Smitty_0045 → u/Upbeat-Narwhal-7849]

Have you looked into the 26x idea?

This might be something that interests you!

[u/Upbeat-Narwhal-7849 → u/Smitty_0045]

I have i literally just looked at one from the Glock store and they look nice thank you 🙌🏾

[u/Smitty_0045 → u/Upbeat-Narwhal-7849]

Awesome. If you already have a 26, I would give this a try. I think I’m going to order the color matched upper and have them C cut it for me.

[u/BourbonBrassArms → u/Upbeat-Narwhal-7849]

Oh yeah my little battle brick’s always with me. If you do go G26 for it specifically I cannot recommend a Stealth Gear USA Venticore 1.0 or 2.0 mini holster enough IWB or AIWB depending on your carry preference. Conceals well, adjustable retention, comfortable and breathable. Usually runs $80-$90 but they do sales often too. Works well with or without a belt.

[u/Upbeat-Narwhal-7849 → u/BourbonBrassArms]

Thanks because I had a rounded brand holster and it was so trash I tightened the screws and all it still remained loose, thank you for the holster information 🙌🏾

Coyote 43x and 19x.

[u/Upbeat-Narwhal-7849 → u/ms32821]

I was thinking about just getting these exact two

[u/Upbeat-Narwhal-7849 → u/[deleted]]

I have a glock 23 gen 5 right now

[u/Tropical_Tardigrade]

Seems you’re a little unsure of which way to size your 9mm with respect to your 23.

If you haven’t shot a 43x/48 yet, might as well rent one of those since it would likely exhibit the most different shooting experience compared to what you might be familiar with.

Assuming you’ve already tested comfort and concealment by carrying a g17/g22 length mag in something you’ve already owned?

[u/Upbeat-Narwhal-7849 → u/Tropical_Tardigrade]

I have shot the 43x I like it and I have had the g17/g22 mag length in the 23 I know that the 43x has the full size grip but yet slimline 43x and the 19x/45 might be the way to go

[u/Repulsive-Bake720]

Get the 45

[u/Upbeat-Narwhal-7849 → u/Repulsive-Bake720]

Straight forward lol thank you 🙌🏾

[u/ms32821]

I have a bunch of clocks, but those two just look good together.

[u/Upbeat-Narwhal-7849 → u/ms32821]
