glock 26 vs 33 Login/Join

I've been thinking about adding a 26 to the rotation. I already carry a 33-love the 357 sig. I rented a 26 at the range today and was surprised that there was much less of a difference in recoil than expected. Does any one carry the same gun in different calibers just for the hell of it?

Love my Sigs but carry my Glocks

No, I don't do a lot with firearms 'just for the hell of it'.

I have the G26, 27, and 33. While .357 Sig out of my G31 or G32 is straight-forward, it's a bit harder to hang onto or run with the G33; the G26 makes for a really nice ankle or pocket size pistol with a comfortable round that can be run quickly (I'm not a speed king by any stretch).

That said, I have a 9mm conversion barrel for the G27/G33, and it's less expensive to run 9mm in the pistol for training, of course. I don't find it's such a big difference that the training is lessened if running 9, then using .357 Sig. A bit like dry firing then live firing, but with more realism, is one way to look at it.

I quite like the G26. If one doesn't want to own several pistols, then swapping barrels and magazines will work just fine with one frame. In that case, run the G33 and get barrels for everything else.

I have P2000s in 9mm and .40. And technically .45 as the HK45C is almost a P2000 in .45 Smile

That way I always have a viable platform that I practice with in any of the big three calibers should I need to hunt for ammo.

Yup. Have a Gen2 22 and swap it between 9mm, 40 S&W, & 357 Sig. Also have the MechTech carbine kit in 357 Sig.

Also a Gen4 40 in 10mm and 38 Super.

Best I have is a Desert Eagle in 357, 41, 44, 440, & 50AE. Doesn't make for a good carry piece.

I also have the G26 and G33 but don't carry the G33 much anymore. It's still nice to have the option, especially for the woods. It's also nice to have the option to use a G27 barrel in the G33 and shoot .40 caliber.

I will be looking for a P239 at the gun show today to compare. If I see one in 357 it’s mine- been looking for years.


Love my Sigs but carry my Glocks
