The G26 is superior to the G43X, but a chopped down G19 is superior to both when we are considering ten round pistols, for one particular reason. I have no use really for either the slim lines, or G26s, but the chopped G19 gets carried a lot.

I could potentially see me doing that.Originally Posted by Doc_Glock

It’s great for those dark Arizona nights hiking or biking when you want to carry a little less weight.
I’ve been carrying my G26 when doing that. But I could see a little longer barrel and the potential to use a pistol light.
Superior to shoot, but 43X superior to carry. I've been carrying an M&P 1.0 SC (about the same size as a G26) as of late and man, it conceals well but it's a chonky boy.
The 43X carries so much better but it's a game of give & take, you gotta pick what works well for the situation. For me? 48 at work @ 1-2 o'clock, G26-sized @ 4-5 o'clock for public carry if i need to be discreet.
I have no problem concealing a 19, so I have no reason to get a 26 or 43X (I hate the 43). A 365 with anything more than a 10rd mag is getting close to G19 butt length. In descending size, here's my list:
Glock 19
I don't have a 10rd 9mm, but if I felt the need it would be a P365
Glock 42
LCP

Beware of my temper, and the dog that I've found...
HCM, does that other federal agency authorize the 43X or just the 43?
The boss is a smart guy, but not really a gun guy. He's looking for a plainclothes duty pistol and has narrowed it doen to the Glock 19 and the 43X. I'm pushing the 19, but could always use more ammunition like failed law enforcement testing.
We don’t authorize either. The Bureau authorizes both but only with very specific conditions - must buy via the bureau- specific ammo, no lights, mag extensions etc
G19/26 all the way.
Can you please elaborate about "no lights" I can understand specific ammo and maybe mag extensions, but how a light can affect reliability and gun function?
