The Glock 36 is an excellent CCW. Why so many complain about just 6+1 rounds is beyond me. Stop and think for a sec, it's thin, light and a big proven .45 round, perfect for carrying concealed. If you need more ammo than that you must piss a lotta people off regularly! Get a full auto weapon or stay home and out of trouble.
i own g-19, g-22, g23, g27 and g36 i don't know why there is not more press on the g36 but it is the best shooting and best control glock i own i love this gun and it not shoot like a colt 45 there is not all that much kick and at 25 feet i'm always in the red
Glock 36 is single stack mag making it alot slimmer and easier to CC. 6 rnds 6+1 I guess right? means up to 6+1 dead bad guys..add another mag thats 14 dead bad guys; say 8-10 if your aim isnt good..really if you're up against more than that and theyre not fleeing, then you're either inna battlefield or a James Rollins novel.
If you expected to get into a gun fight, you'd carry a gun with more capacity, but for everyday carry, a compact is better than nothing. Let's face it, not many of us carry a full sized handgun unless we are professional law men. For a one to one typical gun fight, 6 rounds from a .45 is more than enough.
Then you're looking for a tactical holster weapon. This is not a tactical holster weapon, this is a subcompact, for your average self defense situation against maybe 1 or 2, at most 3, attackers. If you want, you can get a Glock 26 with 10 rounds, but that's about it unless you're wanting a bigger gun, which would kinda negate the point of a Glock 36...
@475GC Its a weird scenario having only 7 rounds to work with since you never know what will happen. I personally would stay away from gangs of BGs. Also, I would bet a gang of 10 BGs will still kill you if you have 7 rounds or 21 rounds.
They would have to widen the magazine, mooting the point of it being compact. Granted more round capacity the better, but in some situations you may only be able to carry a 6 shot gun.
My favorite carry gun is my 36. I have shot several thousand rounds through it and never had a malfunction. It's easy to shoot, accurate and I would never give it up. I am as accurate with my 36 as I am with my G-21 and G-19 9mm. I love it!
Had one, didn't work well. It would often fail to feed, or fail to eject. Traded it in for my model 30. It works. Called glock , told to try different ammo. I already did. Then I was told to send it back for repair. I got the 30 instead.
A lot of the issues with firearms sometimes lies with the shooter. That is not to say that the above commenter did not have a faulty gun, but just in general. Glocks especially do not fair well when "limp wristing" the firearm. That is to say they are not held with a firm and proper grip. This will cause failures to eject and so on.

CCW friendly. Carry extra magazine is a good idea. It can also be effective as a back up gun.

@GLOCKSTEROC Thats what I was thinking: I guess he knows who to hold a handgun on top of the video frame rates being really low.

You should be carrying an extra mag anyway. 13 rounds of .45 ACP is nothing to sneeze at.

Did glock say what the problem was? That's strange that a double stack will function better than a single.

Well he did mention that his model 30 works fine. So I imagine the issue wasn't limp-writing but the gun itself.
