I'm not a Glock fan (much the opposite). But I must admit that when I was looking at conceal-carry pieces earlier this year, I decided Glock was probably the best choice, because there's almost no other pistol that (out of the box) is better shaped and weighted for conceal carry. For that, I can forgive some of my other problems with Glocks (particularly the shape of the grip circumference).
However, I prefer the G19 to the G26. Even with a mag extension, the G26 is less controllable. And the larger-caliber sub-compact Glocks (like the G27, G30, G33, G36, G39, etc.) are even moreso. If I were going to get a semi-auto pistol for conceal carry, the G19 is what I'd probably choose.
Of course, I haven't tried any of the compact XD variants.
