Glock 26, or 27?

[Walter45Auto]

Thanks guys! Good stuff. It sounds like I need at least one of each and some I hadn't thought of.

Being in CA, I don't get to consider CCW very often, but my parents moved to UT and I have a permit there. I finally got to break in the permit and found that most of my choices were just a little big for summer in UT, or my CA wardrobe was what wasn't accommodating. That was my first experience carrying CCW legally and I was wondering if anyone else feels uncomfortable walking into a convenience store that has police inside, while carrying. I really felt like a newbie, but avoided doing a pat-check. …and talk about a State that allows you to carry virtually anywhere!

UNCOMFORTABLE? No. A LITTLE WEIRD? Yes, for the first week or two.

I'll tell you what's both awkward and uncomfortable.  Try carrying in a location that is borderline on whether or not your allowed to carry it there, and have someone in your group who doesn't know you're carrying and has no real reason to think that you're carrying decide to holler out "I told you not to bring that gun in here" in front of everybody including the 5 or 6 cops standing there.      Follow that up with an interrogation by another person in your group in which you have to pretend to pat yourself down and lie to him about having it. 

That happened to me last night.  I would have given anything for a 26 instead of my 19, as it suddenly felt huge.

And, possibly for something to beat him with for doing that to me. 

P.S. A 26 has been on my shopping list for a while; it makes more sense for me because I already have a 19.

Yes.
I had a friend like that. We could be in a restaurant having a meal and general conversation and if the subject of guns or shooting came up he would blurt something to the effect of, "I always feel protected when he (pointing at me) has his pistol. He never goes anywhere without it!!!"
I finally had a polite (and well thought out) talk and told him there's a reason they call it 'concealed carry' and that I keep it out of sight for that reason.
Heck, my brother-in-law has done the same thing to me when I was with him, and he's a cop. Thank goodness in south Georgia, most people could care less.

Amen to the above. I carry a G-26 in the right front pocket of my Dockers. It feels heavy, and I'm convinced it prints when I sit. Hell, I've spent more time bending and twirling in front of a mirror than a bride with her wedding dress. Here's the thing, it prints as "something" not a gun. At first I felt like I was walking into church naked. The bending and twirling showed that the left pocket with wallet and cell, didn't print any differently. You just have to get used to it.
As far as idiots? Well, I'm a big fan of don't ask don't tell. There is zero reason anyone should know whether you are carrying. Sometimes yers, sometimes no. Unless there is a good reason, keep it that way.

 PS as to the original post, the G-26 and G-27 are both great guns. Its just  a question of bigger holes + more expensive ammo or smaller holes with cheaper and more easily available rounds. Flip a coin.

Heck, the funny thing in my neck of the woods was, during the "great ammo shortage of '09", I was finding way more .40 than 9mm.........which was way good for me since I don't own a 9mm.

MKM, That is pretty funny and I'd have been a little upset.

FQ, 9mm disappeared here too. There was some .40. The .45, .38, .380 and .357 were all casper too. There was a lot of 12G. It was strange that 9x18 Makarov could be found.
