Great one and only concealed 9mm for Medium Sized Hand?

[Jason M]

I’m going to be a contrarian. I find I shoot and conceal a Glock 26 considerably better than a 19. A 26 with a SCD as mentioned above and both standard (for concealment) and extended (for full hand support) magazines would serve you well.

I wear L or XL gloves depending on brand. I vastly prefer the G26 to the G19. The G26 is my “do it all” off-duty gun. I like the G45 for a full grip on-duty pistol.

Glock 26 with striker control device and either 19 or 17 length magazines with X-grip adapters.

Here’s my G26. I use a 12 round Magpul mag.

Hey--that's not a Cornholio. It's the new Mastermind Appendix Carry Pillow-Wedge! But I guess you could use it that way also.

That got really weird.

Wait till they really get going.

Haven’t you ever played cornhole with your grandparents?

I wear a medium size glove. A Glock 19 fits me well. The gold standard for a one and done self defense pistol as many here have opined is a Glock 19, especially if you are not a “gun guy”. It is never the wrong answer, but might not be the “best” answer. Your clothing and holster/belt combo will also have a bearing. Even more fundamental, is there a trigger system you prefer? Striker fired, DA/SA, Cocked & Locked, LEM, DAO, DAK?

Let me jump in here. Some people soon tire of walking around with a heavy pistol. So keep that in mind. My opinion is that holster selection will be more critical than than choice of pistol. We have members who also are holster manufacturers. Each has expended great effort in designing outstanding products. Take advantage of their knowledge.
