![]() ![]() In my mind, the double-stack 9mm, in all of its size deviations, serves as the go-to self-defense tool of the contemporary age. The Smith and Wesson M&P and the Sig P320 lines also work in this manner, as do many other handgun families. The Glock line, however, is not the only handgun family with such magazine compatibility. Such magazine compatibility makes this line of handgun exceedingly versatile. Obviously, a Glock 17 or 34 make wonderful house guns as well, as the larger size is only a plus rather than a negative if the gun is not a concealment piece. It's kind of like a G19 and a G17 got together, had a baby called the G45, and gave us the option to mount an optic on it renaming it G45 MOS. I used to carry a Glock 19 most of the time and I still use one often, and the 19 is my preferred house gun. The Glock 45 MOS (Modular Optics System) is a crossover pistol, meaning that it has a full size grip that holds a 17 round magazine, and a shorter, compact-sized slide that encapsulates a 4.02 inch barrel. I can make it quite tiny, or I can load it up so that it gives up relatively little to a service-sized pistol. ![]() The versatility is amazing, thus the Glock 26 remains my primary carry gun. ![]() The flush fit 10 round magazine for the Glock 26 can easily be swapped for a 12, 15, 17, 21, or 33 round magazine. I find that accommodating the slightly wider gun, such as the model 26, is completely worthwhile due to the enhanced capability the double-stack magazine provides. Being restricted to model specific single-stack magazines is my biggest turnoff regarding single stack models. I don’t bother with the small-frame Glocks like the model 43 because they don’t accept the standard magazines. Personally, I use the Glock 9mm family, in particular the Glock 19 and Glock 26. I strongly promote settling on a “family” of guns as your primary defensive handgun option. ![]()
