Hi Guys,
Need some info, suggestion,2 cents ;) I'm trying to decide between this two for my next gun on my birthday next month. I have my G19 already and I liked it a lot.
Thanks for the help:)
p.s.
BTW,Both of this fit well in my hand.
 
You are pretty much talking apples and oranges when comparing the two...at least that's the way I see it. The G26 is closer to a "pocket" gun where the G30 is definitely a holster only or fanny pack type weapon.

Magazine capacities are the same, so no advantage is gained there. I won't even get into the caliber effectiveness arguement because there is no definite answer we can all agree upon. Each cartridge has its merits and drawbacks.

Seeing as how you already have a G19 I would go for the G26. You can use the standard and Hi Cap magazines for your G19 as well as mags from the G17 in the little G26.

If you don't carry, the G30 would be an interesting choice just to give some variety. They are a joy to shoot and not many people can argue with the efffectiveness of the .45 auto. You can also get aftermarket barrels to shoot .400 corbon and other "exotic" calibers in your G30.

Get the 30.
You already have a 19,the 26 is basicly the same gun.
If you are worried about concelment get the Glock 36.
Same as a 30 but much thinner and 6 + 1 instead of 10 + 1.

The only reason I can see to get the 26 over a 30 or 36 is if you want to wear it in an ankle rig.
That's why I have one.

I shot both and got the Glock 30. It rides well in my blade-tech ultra concealed holster and works well in a fanny pack. It has very little recoil and shoots better than anything with less than a five inch barrel. My next Glock will be a G26 for pocket/ankle carry. It came in second at the range.

I carry the 30 concealed all the time so if you want a 45 it's the wat to go. The 36 just isn't that much smaller for me to give up 8 rds with a spare mag.

The 26 is in a different neighborhood all togethor. Much lighter and smaller caliber. If concealment is a problem then the 26, or better yet the 27, is the way to go.
 
Many Glock shooters own both the G26 for deep deep CCW but carry the G30 for those high risk situations when you must be there.

Since you already have the g19, a good CCW 9mm Glock, the G30 is my recommendation.

Get a 9-round mag and you've got another CCW gun with a similar carry feel to a g19 just a little thicker BUT you have a radius good enough for target shooting out to 50 yards.

And the G30 has the rep on GT of being the most accurate Glock made.

Get a Big Dawg! G30.:mad:
