I own many different Glocks and really like them 17,19,22,23,35,43 I have also shot a buddies 26 and loved it too it recoiled much like my 17 at the time. What I find of the 43 is that it is a bit snappy on the recoil so it is not as enjoyable to shoot. Which really surprised me. I have not shot it a lot yet and still shopping holsters. As a result of this I went out and got a S & W shield and I really like this gun from a shooting standpoint. And that is saying a lot from a Glock guy
My main carry is a Ruger LCP. With a pocket holster I can conceal it safely and I forget it is there.
