J-Frame vs. Glock 26

[Geardo]

I opted for the 442, been pretty damn happy with it

Having owned both, my preference will always go towards the G26. Wear it around in an ankle holster for awhile and I can pretty much assure you'll forget it's there.

I've never carried a BUG. Not even while in patrol. My plan was to use what I had on my belt to get to the shotgun in the car. Now I just carry an extra magazine along with either a SIG P250, or P229. Not being in uniform gives me more latitude in deciding when and where to use a firearm.

If I were to carry two handguns, they would have to be in the same caliber and preferably use the same mags. My $.02

Be safe.

I've used both on duty, beginning with the G27. (Duty weapon is a G22, for now). I'm pretty small framed and found that while shooting left handed unsupported I would often limp wrist it and cause a malfunction. Carried it on my ankle and it was obnoxious, even after months of repetition. I ended up buying a S&W bodyguard, with the built in laser and I couldn't be happier. It's lighter, smaller, and I can't limp wrist it. Plus I figure if I'm ever using my BUG I'll probably be on my ass with some junkie on top of me so drawing from an ankle wont be an option, plus I might have blood, dirt, oc, ect. in my eyes so the laser seemed to make sense. I carry it in my pocket (both on and off duty) and it is never uncomfortable. As much as I hate to admit it, of all my guns it has become one of my favorite pistols. It's the only revolver I own, so I'm not a revolver fan at all but that thing is just plain handy. The bodyguard model has the cylinder release on top instead of on the side, so operation is the same with either hand. The laser control is usable with either hand as well.



This is the one I have, and it is probably the most practical gun I have. Absolutely love it.

You are a bastard.

I'm pulling extra shifts, struggling to try and make ends meet after a few medical/financial catastrophes, and you have to post all this insight?

Damn you.

Now I need one.....

Anyone have any insight on the SW 632 that uses the .327 Fed Mag round? Saw an article in the Daily Caller about it, but would like to hear from someone who might not be paid to write about it.

Stick with readily available OTC ammo. When in stock everyone carries 38 & 357. The 327, GFL.

Some of us are unable to reach almost anywhere, due to physical limitations. I like my 26 and 638. The 638 with pocket holster is a comfortable, carry anywhere piece. Fortunately we are not limited to specific firearms, like some states.

Welcome to the world of revolvers, this is how it starts!

Welcome to the world of revolvers, this is how it starts!

And it's a very slippery slope!!

The Bodyguard is a good idea, for sure! The 638 is a great suggestion as well. Cstone presents some excellent points to ponder too! If I had to ankle carry a G26, I'd choose something else. I could never get used to it, after trying for many months...
