Glock 19 or Glock 26 for carry?

Eh, split the difference between the 19 and 26 and get yourself an FNS 9c.

Best all around answer. I just shoot the 19 better myself.

Accuracy is not solely dependent on the size of the gun or sight radius. This can come in handy when doing transitions. The Gen 4 is a little it smaller in the grip, but they give extra backstraps to change the size and feel in the hand. I have both G26 and G19 in the Gen 4. Both are fantastic for carrying. I am able to conceal both no problem, especially appendix (I understand not everyone can appendix carry). I find myself carrying the G26 more than my G19 due to it being "more concealable" and it just feels a little bit better when I'm sitting down for long periods.

G19 for me. The grip contour (hump) of the G26 just never fit my hand right. The G19 fits much better and I dont feel it is really any more difficult to conceal.

I tell ya, I bought the FNS 9c on a whim to pair with the full size 9 and ended up shooting the 9c as well as the Glock 19 I used to carry all the time.

I have both and carry whichever one I feel like at the time. I thought I would end up preferring one over the other but ended up liking them both. They both have advantages over each other but they seem to balance out and end up being about equal to me. I think that in any real world situation where one would be used whatever small accuracy advantage the longer barrel of the 19 might have is insignificant. I believe the training and skill of the user is much more important.

If I were to carry a Glock , it would be the G19.
The small increase in size/weight is well worth having more capacity and possibly better accuracy.

I'd go with a 26. A 26 can always get bigger, 19 can't get smaller.
