The first pistol I ever bought was a G19 in 1989. I still have it it is a great gun and one I will never part with. Couple of weeks ago I was in my local LGS and he had a Gen3 G26 at a price I just couldn't resist. Not sure if I will keep it(my son really wants it)but it is shoots well for a subcompact and pretty much disappears on my waist. I guess I really like tupperware cause I also have a Walther PPS. It's so thin you hardly know you are carrying it.
