Glock 26 vs. Ruger SR9c vs. S&W M&P9c

[SMSgt]

You can't go wrong with a Glock. It may not be as personally "right" as some other makes, but it's definitely not wrong.

While it's warranty is only 2 years (in print, often honored years later), chances are you'll probably never need it.

The SR9c is sweet. Thin with a nice trigger. Good capacity too. I haven't shot one yet - but plan too.

If I was going to buy striker fired tupperware guns, the SR9c is one I'd get. Regards 18DAI.

I decided to go ahead and pick up the Glock 26. Any ideas on a good thin kydex IWB holster ?

I have kydex IWB holsters by Blade-Tech(2-3), Comp-Tac(1-2) and Raven Concealment Systems Phantoms( 4 on hand with a fifth on order). I have retired the Blade Techs and Comp-Tacs. The Raven is more stable than the other two, much more so than the Comp-Tac CTAC. It presents much less of a profile than the Blade-Tech and is about the same in this respect as the Comp-Tac CTAC.

I recommend the Raven Phantom. It can be used as an IWB or OWB and has a great selection of mounting options. Turnaround is the only downside IMO; they are about 3-4 months behind right now.

I have several FIST kydex pocket holsters but haven't used their IWBs. Decent quality, very thin kydex. I haven't had a failure but I think the Raven might stand up to harder use better than the FIST.

Does the SR9c have an external safety?

Between the SW MP and Glock, I'm sticking with the Glock although the MP is a nice weapon.
No experience with the SR9 but I'm doubtful I'd be impressed enough to place it ahead of the others.

Well all here is my 2 cents:

I have a Sigma and love it, I know, it has a terrible trigger but like an ugly dog you get to like it after a while and it fits my hand very nicely.

I also have a Ruger SR9C and this has an excellent trigger and a rear sight that allows you to adjust for elevation and windage, plus a thumb safety to give you some added protection. One quirk of the Ruger is that you have to use the weak hand to release the slide the side lock only locks the slide but does not allow you to release it so you need to use the weak hand to pull the slide back and let it fly forward on fresh magazine.

I had a Glock and sold them, they are nice guns but they just do not fit in my hand with comfort.

I also have a new M&P, once you get by the trigger issues it has great balance and an optional thumb safety if you need it. Both the Sigma and M&P fit like a glove in my hand.

With all this being said the Glock has been around the longest, has great support, lots of accessories and a very good reputation.

And then there's the Walther P99 Compact.

I looked at the xd, m&p and sr9, walked out with an sd9, just fit my hand like a glove.

I like the S/w the best out of the 3

Glock 26 vs Ruger SR9c vs S&W MP9c

I have the SR9c and believe it is hard to find a better carry gun. The SR9c has a great trigger, easy to handle recoil, accurate and dependable. Easy to conceal.

1,000 rounds with no hiccups, it is a good gun.

If I had to pick between Glock 26 and MP9c I would want the S&W

I agree 100%. I haven't spent much trigger time on either the glock or the S&W but I have on the SR9C and can say that it's a very nice gun to shoot. 100% dependable and I love the trigger. It also strikes a nice balance between concealable size and range use especially with the factory spacer so you can use full size mags and have the full size grip option.
