If your looking for something small to carry why not get a COP 357, or really any derringer?

Im skinny, so Id need something easy lol. But, I don't know if I care to open carry. I like being approachable. Maybe just on my night walks. I keep running into loose dogs. It would be the very last option, but there's been moments that seemed like me and my dog were gonna get attacked if I didn't dominate the dog mentally. I can't rely on that forever. There's a level of luck involved there and that makes me uncomfortable

Im not familiar with those pistols really.

Part of the reason that the Glock 26 is so appealing to me is:
  • Glock reliability
  • I already have experience with Glocks
  • All of my current magazines will work with the new small Glock (26).


It just makes so much sense to get something that works with what I already have.

Talk about insanity, my guns have never been used to harm anyone, and if you think gun owners are out to get you then you are paranoid as hell as the facts and stats consistently show most gun owners harm no one.

Theres so many gun owners that that statistic means nothing. Most abusive men dont assault the vast majority of people they encounter.

Well you keep being afraid of nothing real and moving the goal posts, ignoring facts when you are proven wrong.

My guns and I will keep doing what they have for over 17 years, not harming anyone.

Normal gun owners dont go around secretly shooting people and running from the law.

Guns are loud.

Its not easy to shoot someone and get away with it.

This seemed super random until I realized I can't see 2 posts in-between your last 2 lol

Just buy it somewhere off the internet and pay the transfer fees.

If it is a used gun it is ok to haggle with the price but they don't give a damn about fixing the price of a new gun for you, to them it is either buy it or don't. Especially a Glock 26. They actually move off the shelf. If it was some shit they bought and couldn't sell sure.

Also you're annoying them by repeatedly going up there to hold it. Asking once, yeah that's ok, especially if they know you're willing to spend $

Asking to hold multiple guns multiple times, and asking them to fix the price on a new gun, jeez I hope you bought the other gun there. If not they definitely talk a bunch of shit about you.

I did buy the 19 from this store.

Ive bought ammo several times and also some cleaning supplies from them.

Asking them to waive the taxes is not unreasonable for me to ask since I can get it cheaper online and I want to pay more to give them my business.

I bought my M&P 2.0 for basically the same reason, replaced my Beretta 92 as my conceal carry, more compact, felt good shooting, just a better fit. People rag on me all the time for going with M&P but fuck em, I love it.

I got it cheaper buying online and paying a $50 transfer fee, saved me $75 from buying it at the shop.

I could do the exact same thing.

Buying online would be $80 cheaper.

Im going to give them the opportunity to give me a $45 discount and Ill pay more to support the business.

If they refuse my offer, then Ill purchase online.

If you clutch your pearls this much over guns I wonder what you will do when police refuse to help you or worse consider you the problem.

Already brought it home.

Purchased a soft, cozy fabric holster that should be super comfortable for concealed carry.

Can wait to take it to the range and try it out.

I already noticed that it is MUCH smaller than the Glock 19 and its easier to aim with because of how light it is.

I literally feel giddy.

Just getting to hold it and think about how much fun Im gonna have training with this pistol. It really is like a baby version of the Glock that Ive already owned for the past couple of years.

The entire reason I decided to make this my 2nd gun purchase was because of the very uncomfortable experience I had carrying my larger 9 mm Glock 19. It also has a hard plastic holster which doesnt do me any favors for comfort either.

The significantly smaller design of the Glock 26 means that I should have a much easier time carrying that pistol, especially since the holster that I purchased for it is a soft fabric material rather than the hard, rigid plastic one that I use for the bigger model (19.)

The 2nd Amendment is a lie. Cops often kill people just for owning a gun. Even though we legally are supposed to be allowed to have them. If you can be shot for having a gun, then you don't actually have a right to own a gun

Must be nice to be brainwashed into thinking that.

Having firearms is literally the 2nd amendment to the USA constitution.

Think about that.

The only thing more important than my right to own a gun is the #1 right of being able to say whatever the fuck I want to say.

Dude. It has 4.7 stars on Amazon.

Theres also a snap that keeps it snug in there so it doesnt slip out.

If it really sucks then I can always buy a different one. This only cost me like $17.

Come on man that's less than $20 more and is actually respectable. No excuses spending $600 and buying a $17 holster. I have 1000x more respect for someone with a Taurus g2C and a decent holster than a Glock and a soft fabric holster. You're risking safety here, cutting corners on the exact one thing you shouldn't (the most important safety device for your gun).

I could buy a plastic holster but they are hard and uncomfortable.

The fabric holster is made to be more comfortable.

How exactly am I risking my safety if Im using a soft material holster? It has a strap on top with a button snap to make sure it is secure.

Usually you want the material covering the trigger to be rigid and mostly inflexible.

I dont plan on keeping a round in the chamber when Im carrying.

If I need to draw my pistol, I will have to rack the slide before firing.

Some people think its best to carry with 1 in the chamber, but I think its too risky for a negligent discharge.

Did you forget that you're carrying a big piece of plastic and steel already? A plastic holster isnt adding much bulk, and it is keeping it in place.

Soft fabric is bad because something can still snag the trigger.

I mean honestly you're probably no where near me geographically so I don't really care if you're toting a gun in a joke of a holster, it just doesn't make sense to buy a top end gun(when cheaper ones are just as dependable these days) and then get shit gear where it counts.

You woulda been more comfortable with a g19 with a good belt and a good holster. The only way this gets worse is if you straight thug life'd it in your pocket with a g17 mag sticking out of it (shit I used to see in Memphis daily)

I mean made a shitload of mistakes at first, and it's cool we all do, but I didn't have subreddits and YouTube galore when I started carrying.

You're going to get yourself killed by being hardheaded and cheap instead of just doing like 30 minutes of research.
