Ruger sr9c or Glock 26?

[changelac]

Just wondering if anybody had experience with both. I have the sr9c and it shoots great but I've been thinking I should have went for the G26.
Any thoughts? Thanks.

I hate my buddies G26. I shot the hell out of it before I bought my SR9c. Originally I even wanted a G26, I told myself over and over that it was the best conceal choice out there for me, but it just doesn't compare to the SR9c. the G26 has more recoil, and it didn't shoot as accurate for me.

Both are great guns, just personal prefference. I have shot both and prefer the G26.

x2 except for I prefer the sr9c.

Plus the 9c comes with a 17 and 10 round magazine.

I have to admit the G26 bis a bit on the chunky side, but I really do not like all of the safety crap on the new Rugers. I generally like Ruger firearms I personally think they make the best revolvers in the industry. I like the size of the SR9, the way it feels. In the end I have a 26 and love it. But really you will probably be happy with either one. Also I found these spacers that fit over G19 mags and you can use them in the G26 with 15 rounds Nice! Got em at cheaper than dirt (except shipping was not cheaper than dirt) Anyhow both are good quality guns, really when I think about it I dont carry my 26 all that much but I still love it.

Give me the time-tested and plentiful Glock 26 over a new model from any manufacturer (at least in the realm of self-defense).

Ruger does get points for having a guy dual-wielding on the SR9c homepage though.

Thanks for the input. I really like the sr9c but for some reason I am leaning toward the g26. I think maybe its the track record and the simplicity of the gun. I dont know.

That's really what did it for me. I actually had a fairly nice Taurus 709, but trying to find a good holster for it was a challenge, among other things. Even though it was close to being very much the single stack that Glock should have made, it fell short in other ways. What I really wanted was a Glock in the first place. So, I traded it and got a G27 instead. Just that move alone increased the options dramatically (and there is a .357 Sig barrel in my future!).

Go with the 26 if that's what you want ...you wont regret it! ...unless you want to change calibers with a barrel swap (including 9mm, btw) ...then get a 27.

Same here. I highly prefer the sr9c. The safety doesn't bother me as it is second nature for me to swipe the safety on draw. For those that don't care for it, it really is not that obrtusive due to its small size. The magazine safety is an easy removal. I do own glocks and do enjoy shooting them but the ruger just feels right and that translates into accuracy and better shot placement for me.

My G26 puzzles me. When I aim it at a target and fire, .....I hit it.
(not that the Ruger wouldn't)

I have both. Both are good guns. But I usually opt for the GLOCK 26. I feel well armed with either.
