I have a Gen 4 Glock 19 that I love and carry whenever possible. I'm struggling between a Glock 26 and 43. I'd love to get your thoughts. I want to stay with 9mm because it is cheaper to practice and I like sticking with the same cartidge.

This will be my carry gun when I need something snaller.
I can't really tell a difference between a 26 IWB and a 19. The 43 Will be much more comfortable but still it's a big ass gun for a 6 shot 9mm. I've had all three and stuck with the 19.
i have all three as well and I'm getting out my 26's ,, 43 for super comfy carry or the 19 for get-er-done carry. look at my g26 listing theres a pic with the 43, 26 and 19
Get you some Trijicon Hd's and you'll be set !
I'm a Glock guy. I go back and forth between a 19 and 26 for EDC. The 26 definitely hides better than the 19, but don't fool yourself, even with all the different mag extensions it will never feel like a 19. The 26 has a big hump on the rear of the grip that the 19 and 17 do not and it feels weird.
I've carried either a 27 or 26 as part of my rotation for about 5 years and it's always bugged me. I'm very close to selling my 26, keeping my 19 for EDC and getting a Shield for super hidey situations.
The Shield has a taller grip and feels much better in my hands than the 26. It's closer to feeling like a G19 than a 26 is.

After seeing the size post I'm pretty sold on the 43. I'll just carry an extra magazine to compensate for capacity. Now I just need someone who has one and will trade for an LCR in .357 
I am a huge fan of the 43 and gave my son one today for birthday/Christmas... Did the ghost edge connector this morning and then took him out and he ran 150 through it... Hard gun not to love in my opinion! Still love my 19 for situations when I can carry more but the 43 is my near constant companion!
