For those who carry babyguns (sub compact)G26 vs 43?

But it's still a sub 3.5" barrel which you lose some bullet potential, well a lot that's why companies are now trying to develop ammo to reliably work in baby barrels

Every comparison I have seen between the G26 and G19 so such a small difference in velocity I hardly see it as a talking point. Maybe 3-4 %.
To those who report that the extra thickness of .16 of an inch on the G26 makes it uncomfortable or hard to conceal, that little velocity means nothing anyway.

The G26 has a 3.42 inch barrel I think the short barrel ammo is more of a concern in the P938s and PM9s that have a 3 inch barrel.

50 fps is the average variance I've seen in YouTube tests. It's only a half inch less.

Or if you are feeling real frisky throw in the extendo

Concealment is a bit of an issue......I've tried it even with measly 22rnd mag in the G27. Though, if you turn the gun around into a cross draw position and slip toward an appendix carry, you'll be popular at the "Blue Oyster" LOL!!!!!!!!!!

I'll be honest, I like glocks....not a fan-boy, but do like them. They're a work horse gun, simple to operate, simple to maintain, reasonably priced and take abuse with a grain of salt. I mostly carry a G27. I also own my past duty gun (G23) that I bought out when the job switched to all uniformed people must carry a G22. I obviously stayed with the 27 to be consistent with my working caliber. Off caliber guns that I like are the Kimber Ultra Carry II in 9mm and my SW M36. Both are very concealable with the right holsters. I find the LCP, though tremendously concealable, absolutely SUCKS to shoot! I've considered making the jump to a G43 to try out, but I want to shoot one first.
