Previously I carried a Kel-Tec P11 that I could not hit the broad side of a barn with. I still own it but after putting one mag down range with the G36 and hitting my mark every time I have to say I will never leave Glock again.

I bought used, with around 500 rounds through but you could hardly tell it has been fired. I tried it out, shot six rounds down range and decided there was no turning back. I love the .45acp round and never thought I would be able to shoot one much else carry it because most .45acp guns do not fit in my hands. I have to say, it conceals very easy and it was hard to tell that I had it on my hip walking through stores and in my vehicle.

I have previously owned a Glock and know their quality and reliability which is why I wanted another. My problem was with the girth of the gun and my ability to function the weapon with one hand comfortably. The Glock 22 that I owned to me had significantly more recoil than this Glock 36, maybe because it fits my hands better or that the .40s&w has more muzzle flip, either way of all my guns to me the recoil was very similar to my Walther P22 (.22LR) with stinger rounds believe it or not. I feel that anyone capable of shooting a firearm would be able to handle this weapon with ease the only downside is that if you have larger hands I would assume it to be a pain to shoot.

I must say that with the Kel-Tec P11 recoil is a lot snappier than that of the Glock 36, in fact when I shoot my P11 I always get a blood blister or pinch of some type on my hands.

Overall, there is no turning back. I will never carry less than a .45acp now thanks to this gun. I can conceal this under a t-shirt and jeans very well, and if it were to print it looks more like a cell phone anyway so who cares.

Glad you have found what works for you. My 36 is also my favorite carry gun. Have had no problems with mine either, and last time at the range, I did some very rapid double taps and was able to get back on target quickly and put all rounds within the 8 ring at 7-10-yds.
Good Luck!

Picked up a used one today, put a hundred rounds through it w/o any problems. Real accurate and nice compact package. It is probably going to give my lightweight Colt Gunsite CCO some competition for my favorite ccw.

I ordered a channel plug, 3 more mags, extended slide stop and mag release plus a 3.5lb disconnector for it. It already has green meps.

and yeah, I know, 3.5 is not ideal for carry yada yada yada

the only thing I missed is the Pearce +0 floorplates...

extended slide stop ...


Watch out for the slide stop. Extended stops have caused problems for many folks by locking the slide back in the middle of a mag. They are aftermarket parts, NOT Glock regardless of what the seller says.

i agree with the thread above about the extended slid stop and if your looking for the Pearce +0 floor plate extension ( and i love mine and ordered 2 more my self for rest of my mags) heres the place to get them http://www.lonewolfdist.com/Detail.aspx?PROD=4568 lonewolf.com all the other sites that i checked on wanted like $10 to $15 for shipping on a 7 to $9 part lonewolf is shipping them to me reg mail for only $3 The pearce extened +0 is great fits my hand great and even the guy at Glock in GA told me he carries a glock 36 and the Pearce +0 is the only one he will use. I have a Pearce +1 on one mag and have another one brand new for sale in anyone is interested the +1 works great in my gun but dont like the feel i have small hands.
