I love my glock 17 so when it was time to shop for a smaller gun naturally I thought glock 26. Well after handling and shooting the 26 and sr9c I'm now a proud owner of a sr9c that I carry everyday. I love the trigger on the sr9c!
Get whatever feels better to you. Personally, I would rather have a Glock 26 than an SR9c. I don't care for the manual safety on the SR9c. The HUGE pop-up "hey moron, your gun is loaded" indicator is also off-putting, but I realize this is just an aesthetics issue and doesn't really affect the function of the weapon.
I have a SR9c and love it. Over 3000 rounds and only Winchester White box ammo give me problems. All other ammo goes through without a hitch. Carried almost daily for over 12 months and until the SR45c comes out (I know, it may not happen) I don't have any plans to replace it.
I'd also add that the trigger on my unit is the best trigger on any striker fired gun I've shot and on par with most non-striker fired guns. But I'm not anal about triggers either.
