Looking for suggestions for a Glock that will use Glock 17 mags

(1/3) > >>

GreggL:

I recently acquired a great truck gun. A Kel-Tec  Sub 2K that uses Glock 17 mags. I have zero experience with Glocks. So, I would like to get a Glock Sub compact for carry that could share mags with the Sub 2K and am looking for some suggestions.

Thanks, Gregg

JAK:
Glock 26 is the sub compact, short grip resulting in at least 1 finger off grip.  You can get mag extensions but then you are at the grip size of the 19.

Glock 19 is the compact, most people can get all fingers on the grip

The other decision will be Gen 4 or one of the earlier ones.

For the Sub2K, you might think about getting the 33-round Glock mags (which, I'll note, will ALSO fit into Glock pistols).  Brownells and Botach normally have them in stock.

As has been said, the G17, G19, and G26 are the guns (in full-size, compact, and sub-compact, respectively) that will all take the same G17 magazines (and the 33-round G18 mags, too). 

Many people that I know REALLY prefer the grip on the Gen 4 versions.  (And yes, both the Gen 3 and Gen 4 versions will take all the mags.) 

I note you don't HAVE to use a subcompact for carry unless you really want to.  I know a number of people who carry the G17 daily, and TONS of people carry the G19 (probably one of the most popular carry guns out there).  That being said, the G26 is easy to shoot well, and has a 10+1 capacity with its standard magazine, and you can reload to a G17 magazine with no issue.

I carry a G17! G26 are far to stubby imo but I have large hands and don't care to have my pinky below the grip.

Something to think about between a g17 and g19. There is only about a half inch of difference on barrel length and grip length.

Thanks for the replies! Based on hand size and that I don't think I would like the pinky not being on the grip, I think my search will be for a g17or g19. For someone who has had no experience with the earlier generations, are there pros and cons between them? How would the g17 compare to an XDm 5.25 when shooting 3 gun?
