I carry the G26. As a non military ambidextrous female, I really wanted simple all around. No fancy things to remember. No external safety. Okay to shoot no matter which hand was drawing. And yes, I carry chambered and no, I haven’t had an accidental discharge yet. Thanks, Mr Glover. Love the info you provide in all areas.

[@shootingitwiththesarge]

Glock 26 is a great option as well!

Love the G26. Pack the 19 usually. Carry it when I think it gets too lonely in the safe.

[@justjoe5957]

G26 is a great firearm. I carry 19 on duty and have 26 and 43 as my off duty. I will always carry glock because of the simplicity and reliability.

[@Lonesoul9791]

@@justjoe5957 My sheriff deputy son took my original Glock 27 as his off duty weapon when I switched to the G26. The .40 cal was harder for me to use, I kept pinching my fingers racking the slide and I did better with the 9mm version. I recently picked up a Mossberg MC1 single stack 9mm which I like very much also. Not sure about long term reliability but it’s small, easy to conceal, and very lightweight.

[@thomaskennard707]

I concealed carried a G22 for 20 years and last year bought a G19 for my wife to carry after we got married. I have since purchased another one for myself. Great gun.

[@stantheman5163]

Totally agree. I have had my Gen 2, G19 since 1990 and it has jammed less then 5 times in all the years of practice and concealed carry. I have never felt the need to "upgrade" to a newer model as my Gen 2 fits me fine and I can shoot it without problems. I added some Trijicon night sights and the M*Carbo spring kit and that's it!

I enjoyed your comments on the Glock 19. My EDC as L/E for 30 years was a 1911. It was in 45 acp. My son retired from L/E & convinced me to change to the 9mm. As a result, I selected a Glock 19. Also I read Chuck Taylor’s article of one he put 365000 rounds through. Truly a wonderful sidearm. I will carry as you suggest. Thank you for your comments on your video.

[@unclefreedom213]

I was a die hard Sig guy, carried the P226 for years and then the P320 XCarry. One day I tried the G19 and once I got used to the grip angle it was hard not to admit that the bore axis was a game changer with Glock and the backstraps for the gen 4 as well. I was faster and more accurate and didn't have near the issue getting holsters and support gear. Long story short I love my Sigs but there is always a G19 or G26 in my pants now a days and I preach that to my students. I always finish with "Is there anything wrong with a S&W or something else? No it's just wrong for me and my situation and everyone has to make that choice."

[@THATMOFODIRT]

I like my Glock because of how easy it is to completely disassemble when needed. Minimal parts leans itself towards increased reliability. Durable and proven design.

[@dloverland]

Agreed. Taking apart the fire control unit on a P320 sucks! Get them full of sand my bet is on the Glock.

Good Morning Mike, Along with many, many folks, I thank God for you and for your excellent content! Just watched your interview with Shawn Ryan. Fascinating!! Thank you for your comments on the G19. I've recently returned to the 19 (and 43x) from the M&P Shield. Overall, the weight difference was a factor for me. And of course, the unparalleled reliability is a huge plus.

[@Elwyndor]

Of all the carry pistols I have fired my favorite is the Sig Sauer P365. My only complaint about it is the proprietary rail system. But other than that. Basically same size as a S&W Shield or Glock 43 but with a factory extended mag you can carry 15 round if you need or 12 with a more flush fitting mag. Trigger is great on it as well. Also, comes from the factory with night sights which is a plus.

I have a Gen 4 Glock 19 that “was” my favorite handgun ever. I also have a Sig Sauer P365XL and a Glock 43X that has been modified extensively with a tungsten reduced power guide rod, a 3.5 lb connector, an Apex trigger, and a Hogue grip sleeve (and a few other that don’t affect shoot ability), and I’m running Shield S-15 mags. I’m not a small guy (6’5 and about 235), but I also don’t have huge hands. The 43X just fits my hand perfectly, and I’d have to say it’s my #1 right now. It feels like my 19, only better.

[@seanwhite304]

Been carrying G19 since 2006 . I've tried quite a few different handguns over the years but always came back to G19 . The G43x I've been carrying a lot recently. This might be the handgun that makes me retire the G19. The size of the G19 is absolutely perfect . I don't know who said the quote but it's so true about the G19 . Saying is. Big enough to fight with and small enough to carry .

Sounds like a recommendation for any striker fired G19 sized pistol, such as the Smith & Wesson M&P9c M2.0, CZ P-10C, Sig P320C, H&K VP9, FN 509C, Walther PPQ...and the list goes on. All reliable, same action type, same size. And those are all more ready-to-go out of the box than a Glock, which is in immediate need of better sights and trigger. Yes, they have less aftermarket support but also need less aftermarket support.

[@commonsense7057]

I have a M&P 2.0 compact that I have had since shortly after its release that I have thousands (5k+) of rounds through and I have not had a single malfunction related to the gun. Saying its reliable would be an understatement. The only thing I have changed were the sights which I changed to some TFX pro sights.

[@googlechicken]

I agree 100% I carry a Steyr M9 A2 daily and feel it is superior to the Glock in almost every way except for one critical area,that being aftermarket support.just about every company that makes firearm related products makes something for Glock pistols. I believe that is the biggest advantage to choosing the Glock over any other edc pistol. If I could only afford one pistol for self defense it would be a Glock because with all the aftermarket support out there for it

Very good video. When I turned 70 years of age several years ago, I decided it was time to change my carry pistol from a 1911 platform with manual safety and grip safety to a stricter fired pistol. As you state in this video, a stricker fired pistol is easy to operate. As one ages, he/she must accept the fact that their memory is not as sharp as it once was and that one needs to simplify every day actions if they can. My favorite Glock pistol is the Glock 30S. This is a soft shooting pistol, and the size falls between the Glock 26 and Glock 19. I normally carry a Glock 19 from October through March and a Glock 26 from April through September due to my cloths selection for the various months/seasons. There has been some talk about my home state limiting magazine size to 10 rounds and this is the primary reason that I purchased a Glock 30S. If I am limited to only carrying a firearm with 10 rounds then the firearm is going to be a 45 acp.

I'd have to agree about every aspect of the g19 especially the simplicity. However, I carry the m2.0c 4" instead when I'm not carrying my p365xl. I get major slide bite from glocks so I have to use a modified beavetail backstrap which in turns makes a bulky grip bulkier. I also ride the slide release lever causing the slide to lock back prematurely. I have made a "custom" slide release lever so I do not engage it. With all that being said a stock m2.0 compact gets the job done without any extra modifications so I went that route.

[@opwards]

i beg to disagree respectfully my friend. Let me give you a scenario. Youve got your lever action winchester deer rifle loaded, chambered, and by chance hammer drawn back. Someone has chucked it in a soft case for you at camp and set it on your back seat. What happens when your kids go to play about in the back seat? There is every chance that if they knock that hammer the right way that it will fire a round. At the end of the day rule number 1 for me is always treat every firearm as if it was loaded until you know for certain it is not. I am a big believer that there is no such thing as a firearms accident. Just improper handling or ownership.

Compared my stock p10 triggers to a modified glock triggers it’s nicer. Everything I wish glock would build, but they don’t. I have had a shadow systems loved it will probably get another one. Glocks are great for parts availability. This is true. But my cz don’t need to be fixed and the barrel/ lugs and frame is definitely more beefy than a glocks. It’s nato rated so it’s very reliable.

G19 is definitely easier to shoot, higher capacity, arguably more reliable, and has a light/laser ( my shield doesnt) but I heard someone once say get something that's comfortable because you'll carry that more and that's 100% accurate with me because I generally carry my shield with it being so much more comfortable and concealable where I dont worry as much about printing so I always have that on me.

[@dennisl4000]

First of all let me say thanks for sharing your experience and recommendation. Old habits die hard, I love the 1911 and have carried it for decades. I can shoot this platform better than anything else due to ergonomics, trigger, grip angle, and etc. Yes, I will concede that the manual safety muscle memory is critical and should be factored in. Due to age I wanted a lighter option and MRD capability so I got a G45 MOS. I added an upgraded trigger, RMR, and sights. Next I got a Shadow System MR920. Between these 2 guns last year I went through 4,000 rounds before I could shoot them at a level approaching the 1911. I am sure good trying would help and I am keeping my eyes open for your Basic Pistol Course in the DFW area. I recently moved to a 2011 platform and feel back at home again. Sine I only have several hundred rounds through it I am still carrying the MR 920 at 3:00 o'clock. I do not know if this old dog can do appendix. This troubles me because I truly value what you share.

The Glock actually has what is called a modified double action system. When you consider if a gun is double or single action it is not the trigger itself but what it does when you pull it. When you pull the trigger on a Glock, it does two things; draws the striker and then releases it.

@@225degrees Yep - the Glock grip angle was designed around the bone alignment of the two knuckles forward punch - the original idea being that the gun would be used by people who were at least somewhat trained in fighting and would naturally point a gun the way they punch.

[@IDWIE]

It came down to 43X and P365XL for me. I ended up going with the Sig because of longer barrel, longer sight radius, better standard capacity, and pre-milled for red dot. Both are said to be equally reliable.

Thanks Mike ! im about to go buy an EDC pistol, my xd 45 combat commander in 45 is a little big and too heavy ! to heavy you may ask, well the way i see it is that if I am out walking around and the wieght of the fucking gun is pullimg my pants down and making me look like a gang banger that is problematic as well because now it is no longer a secret to what I got in my pants and I have most likely compromised myself and my people so I really love all these types of video's you and Kevin and Shawn Ryan do because you keep it simple, you don't throw a bunch of military jargon in there to confuse the masses instead of educating them. I sincerely appreciate this and will pass the info along as well to anyone I know carrying. Also I am making a long range rifle course up here in Eastern Wa. It will have targets set in different places at different ranges and different scenarios so when its complete I will invite you guys up to check it out and hopefully give me the stamp of approval. I am making it because I am a professional fishing and hunting guide and I like to see my clients ability before i put them on a buck of a lifetime with one chane to make history for themselves and I don't like making that shot for them anymore because I have matured and I don't need the ego points anymore so if I can make sure there rifle shoots straight and is on the mark and I can teach them a thing or two before the moment of truth is upon us then I most likely have diverted a horrible embarrasing moment and created a client for life............thanks for all that you do Peace Fly

I just got a Glock 19x. Great gun. No complaints as of yet. But I have to admit, when I look at it and hold it, I don’t feel like it would be a great conceal carry option. Much more apt to go get a Glock 43 now to satisfy that need.

because in the event someone is shooting at you, they can pinpoint your location of center vs holding out to the side you can still see and if they shoot at light probably will miss hand holding light..

@@graynotescartridgebox I am trained ARMY veteran and yes if you see a light and shoot at it, you will most likely hit target if weapon has light on it because of position the person holding gun with light. If you have a handheld light and your holding it at your side and up, if said person shoots he, if gets lucky will shoot only your hand and light not your torso or head. I don't know how that does not make sense to you.

[@slonkak]

I think you brought up 2 great points that people need to consider outside of which firearm you choose: hand size and holster placement. I'm thin (6'1" 140lbs), so carrying appendix is really the only way I can carry without printing; however, even so I need a holster that is specifically designed to tilt the handgun back into my body or the butt of the gun will stick out. To me, finding a holster that properly places the gun against my body is more important than the gun itself because without that feature I can't conceal anything at all. I run a Glock 48 (because it's much thinner than the 19... again, I'm skinny) with the Shield 15rd mag and am always looking for better holsters that position the gun better.

I loved Glocks and thought they were the best until I held a CZ P-10C... Not knocking Glock at all but I feel you get a better package out of the CZ and it is more favorable ergonomically. Your experience with Glock pistols absolutely justifies your decision in using the G19 as an EDC.

CZ P-10C is my go to now, used to carry a gen 3 G19. Basically a G19 with CZ erogonomics, striker fired as opposed to p07, nicer trigger than gen 4 and below. Gen 5 trigger is pretty good but I like the CZ reset, can shoot faster with this weapon system. Training and proficiency is key to all of it. No room for fun shooting, its all training now when you spend 15 bucks emptying the magazine, lol. Thanks for the vid Mike, love all that you and your company is doing! 🇺🇸

Really like the 1st Gen Glock 17 but that has been just about it. Tried the 21 in a .45 a friend had and after 3 rounds I have it back to him. I have grown to like my fingers and knuckles quite a lot, so giving it back to him was a pleasure. Lol. I carried an old S&W Model 39A with a steel slide and aluminum frame with 8 round mags from the Vietnam era for 20 years. Still love it. Past few years my edc is a CZ75BD. I knew when I first wrapped my stubby ass fingers around the grip, this was it. I didn't care as much about the manufacturer as I did the comfort level.With short fingers it put many newer handguns out of running fairly quick back in 2016/17 when I was updating my edc.. I remember Walther PPQ, M&P Shield, and Springfield XD were in the top 5 as to what fit my hands better, and all were pretty good guns to boot. The Freedom Dispense Specialist who assisted me asked if I ever heard of a CZ75, which threw me off guard considering I only had read a lot about them, never even laid eyes on one personally. Well I had tried almost everything available here except this one. Well, I finally had a edc that wasn't made just one year after I was born.. lol Best wishes and congrats on the upcoming events!
