Opinions on a Glock 26

I have an older Gen 3 that I bought used, its a great pistol for primary cary or back up. I prefer my G19 for EDC, but have no problem carrying the 26 when absolute concealabilty is an issue. I had looked at them several times but had not bought one because it just didn't feel as good as the G19, but walked in to my LGS one day and found a supper deal on this used one and have never regretted it. "Its a good thing". Go for it and enjoy. 
I bought a G17 Gen4 and liked it so well I went and bought the G26 Gen4. I bought some Glock 12 round magazines for my fingers to rest and added a 3.5# connector and 6# spring. The G26 is accurate, reliable and now my EDC.
Actually, mag extensions only give more length to the front of the grip; the rear of the grip, which is the culprit in regards to printing IWB is NOT lengthened. Thus; I don't find the G26 with mag extensions to be totally comparable to a G19 in size and weight. I personally find the G26 better from me for IWB; without any mag extensions on it. I have A UBG Canute holster for both the G26 and G19. The 19 is quite concealable under most circumstances, but the 26 is even more so...YMMV. Regardless, I won't get rid of either of these guns; they are both top shelf self-defense pistols. And I might add; I do sometimes slip the G26 into a Mika pocket holster when I am not wearing covered IWB and go run my errands in Wally World or whatever. It's a load in the pocket for sure and I wouldn't want to carry it that way all day, but for quick in and outs, it works okay.
