I agree with this. in the summer I would carry my 33 with a standard magazine but have a full size magazine as a backup if the bleep hit the fan.
If anything I'd prefer the other way around. Give me a G19 length and barrel with the G26 grip. The grip is what prints and is tough to conceal. Heck, the barrel could be G34 length, so long as the grip is small.
I own a 26. I carry the 26. Great piece really. Can't go wrong with a 26.

Rob Pincus was trying to develop a "G26L" a while back. It was a G19 (actually a G23) with the grip cut down to G26 size. Haven't seen much about it in a while.
I carry my 26 year round with two 10 rd mags. The 10 rd mag fits perfectly in that little coin pocket in my jeans. If you need a longer grip use a pierce extension or the pinky rest.
Although it would look funny based on current geometry expectations, I would agree with the longer barrel as that part is the easiest to conceal.

I'm sure people out there are doing it, given all the stippling and grip mods you see. Wouldn't be that hard to got a G19 grip down to where you could use G26 mags. Only challenge would me making it look nice.

Yep, as I recall he ruined the first one he tried.

What I mean is you can use the G26 mag when concealment is your goal but use the G19 with adapter for everything else. I love Glocks but there is something about the grip, it doesn't feel as good as the M&P etc... However with the G19 mag + Adapter the grip in my opinion is perfect. For me this combo makes the perfect CC & Range gun

It's a GLOCK - nothing's going to make it look "nice".
Disclaimer - My usual carry gun is either my G34 or my G42 - they're ugly but they work.
Not sure. I haven't talked to him in a few months. I know he's happier doing 1911s. I tried to go on the site, but it wasn't working.To my knowledge, lou no longer does glock work
Really hope I am wrong
Then why not dump the Glock and get an M&P or something? I fought guns that didn't really fit me for a long time. Part of the reason there are several different brands of polymer framed handguns to choose from is that there are ergonomic preferences between the brands. If that wasn't an issue for some then Glock would be the only game in town.

Yup, it was.
I don't see the point of it, though. All that cost and expense for the sake of a half-inch of sight radius? No thanks. I'll carry my factory Glock 26 instead.

I like everything about Glock, the only thing that was not ideal for me was the grip. The GEN 4 helped a little but now I have a Glock that feels perfect.

I believe the main benefit is better recoil management with the heavier slide which usually allows for more accurate follow up shots .
There must have been a glitch . Website back up. Thanks

It isn't bad but I had bone on bone in my wrist over the winter and that was the one gun that hurt. It hurt so much I almost dropped it, which told me surgery wasn't a choice anymore. I have to be able to shoot my carry gun.

I am just way behind on 1911 work and need to get caught up. I will be taking some plastic work in the future but right now i need to focus on getting caught up.
