Hey guys I just joined this forum over the weekend and I just picked up my first two Glocks (a 19/ a 26). I love both of these guns. I was just wondering if you guys(or ladies) would throw your opinion at me. I want to pick up one more handgun before I take a break from purchasing for awhile and I was think either :Glock 21, Glock 23, or Glock 22. Which one do you think I should get next in my Glock collection? (Or something else of course). Thanks guys.
What to get next?

Well everyone here will tell you that you would love any of the three, I would look at a couple of things, Are you wanting to carry this for protection or just an addition to have fun with and shoot? If carry then you will have weight and size to take into account, If just shooting that won't matter. Cost per weapon and ammo is going to be about the same across the 21, 22, and 23 so that's really not a factor either. Quality, that won't be an issue. Availability of ammo .45 vs .40 not really an issue either. So my suggestion is buy all three

i too was in your same situation and i was watching hickock 45 on you tube he did a thing on knock down power of different calibers and i was surprised to see what a 10mm could do. yes you guessed it i bought a glock 29. real nice although ammo is a bit pricey.

Looks like your going down the same glock trail I did just much more quickly. I would consider the g30. Its about the same size as your 19 in .45 acp. I dont shoot .40 cal never will. The g21 is a great shooter, but its a handful. i just got one a week ago so with only 500 rounds through it the only thing I can say is so far so good.
Welcome to the forum. Here's my opinion, you'e got a mid size 9mm and a compact 9mm. The choices you mentioned are either .40 or .45, so I'm assuming magazine interchangability are not a concern, or you would have mentioned a G17, which I think could be a good choice for you. That being said, I'd go with the G21, can't go wrong with a fistfull of .45 acp

Looks like you have a carry (G26) and all-around (G19) pistol. What role do you see the next one filling?

First, I'm not an experienced shooter. Just bought my first pistol ever - a Glock 23. I strongly considered the Glock 22, but if I ever wanted to conceal carry, the 23 was the right gun. My hands are average to large, and the 23 fits like a glove. Store I bought from didn't have any Gen4s but the grip was just the right size for me, so changeable backs didn't matter. The 22 gives you more magazine capacity and is a little longer/heavier - perhaps that would help with recoil. Thought, as a first-time shooter, I found the recoil of the 23 to be no problem.
As for the 21 - I might consider that for my next pistol. I've only been shooting for a month now, and I'm already thinking about more guns. Man, I'm hooked.
