It just felt "right."

Hopefully I can get it to the range soon so I can comment on how it shoots.

The shop did not have any Kahr CW9s in stock but I did check out a K9 and P9. Both excellent quality guns and I knew the CW would be pretty comparable to them (same dimensions) but I felt like, right now, I got more for my money by going with the Glock. At some point I might go back and pick up a CW9 or the new CM9 since they are nice guns.

I think next up for me will be a G19. Loved the feel of that gun, but obviously too big for CC. The GF really liked it too. It will make a good open carry, home defense, or range gun thats for sure. I did check out the G17 but that one just didn't feel right to me, not sure why.

I was just curious. I'm a Glock fan so I like to hear why others choose Glocks. I have the G23 & G36. I CC both, not at the same time. I have the Blackhawk Sepra CQC (OWB) for my G23 and a Comp-Tac Minotaur MTAC (IWB) for my G36. The G23 is the same size as the G19 and, personally, don't think it's too big for CC. It is a compact size and tends to be perfect for CC. And since you have open-carry I think the G19 would be even better. Too each their own though. Congrats on the new G26 though! I will be picking up a Gen4 G17 when I come home for R&R.
