The G-26 is hard to beat & I've had one for several years. I like the Pearce mag base with the extra finger groove as it makes the gun considerably more shootable.

I've gone away from it for the most part as I really just prefer a bigger gun.

But if I was going to buy another gun in that general size category today, it would surely be a Sig 365 of some flavor.

If you want a little more grip, the HK VP9SK is worth a look, great gun.
