I have never heard of this. My glocks run everything no problem (even the couple of "dildo" mags I got for free). Ets, magpul, g18 mags, with or without base pads, you name it. It's a glock. Maybe something is wrong with yours? ;)

Glock 19
the Glock 19 is my choice. I have an Uncle Mike's Size 16 fabric "inside belt" holster. its comfortable. I do have two hair bands securing the case to the gun as i do remove it from my waist frequently.
i opted for the glock, well, because its a glock. Glad i did because being that the glock has a square frame, it allows for more contact with the magnet. I secured a magnet to the right side of my dash and it holds it very nicely and secured through the fabric holster. Quick Draw Status!

Please buy a real holster. Not only are uncle Mike's holsters poorly made, they have horrible retention which can lead to disaster. Kydex/hybrid holsters aren't that much to begin with; a holster is an important piece of gear. Dont skimp.

Thank you for all the insight so far.

^^^THIS! Yes!
And a high quality, wide, stiff belt... The good holster is must, however its interface with you is the belt.
@ Charlievee
speaks truth about the holsters and the emphasis on training...
For holsters, I like the Comp-Tac MTAC... Best IWB holster I've ever owned.
https://comp-tac.com/mtac-premier-iw...ster-comp-tac/
And train... Train like your life (and freedom from prosecution) depends on it. It does. Make sure your training includes when NOT to use the tool... The tool many of us carry each and every day is not a panacea... it's a very specific tool for a very specific and deliberate action at exactly the right moment...
Be safe, be well.

Many good options have been presented here...
Of them all, perhaps the Sig P239 could fit the bill, if it fits you and your budget. This option would require no special California Compliant Magazine, and I can attest to the beauty and function that is the P239.
Close 2nd, in my opinion, would be the Glock 19, Gen 5. You will have to buy compliant magazines and you will need to upgrade the stock Glock sights.

It's my understanding that the Glock Gen 4 and Gen 5 pistols are not CA compliant and therefore not legal to purchase.
However, I believe the S&W M&Ps are.
I carry a S&W M&P40c in a Don Hume leather IWB holster for CCW, but I'm not in California.
Fits like a glove in my 4Runner's center console.

Get whatever you shoot the best and is reliable.
I always point folks in the direction of M&P or Glocks.
There is a reason those two CONSTANTLY win contracts with military and Law Enforcement agencies around the world.
They both have great armorer and aftermarket support/options.
They are both designed simple/well with low bore axis and minimal "Gucci" shit to go wrong.
Both companies have quality QC/QA.
Sig of the past (1980's) was great, they are hit and miss today, especially in the QC/QA department.
Something that also pisses me off about sig- their engineers/designers have this idea that they must have proprietary parts in every gun for some reason- I mean come on a Sig 1911 has a proprietary extractor that is unavailable anywhere except from Sig and a limited number of armorers who don't sell them.
Every other 1911 has the same extractor- but Sig just had to monkeyfvck theirs with a proprietary extractor- one that doesn't do anything better, and arguably does some things worse than the original design.
I like a lot of other handguns for range days and fun including several sigs, but I only carry M&P's and Glocks for SD/HD.
Do yourself a favor and just go with an M&P or a Glock.
Oh, and get a real holster, fabric/nylon is a joke and can seriously get you or someone else hurt. DO NOT skimp on training or holsters/ammo.

I'm also a fan of the Glock 19. But I carry the M&P just because I like the size and safety.
My Gen 5 G19 MOS is a pretty accurate pistol... At 20 yards...

I like the G19 because it's smallish with lots of capacity. But my EDC is a Sig P938 Extreme (fancy grip and an extra round). It's reliable, a 9mm, and small enough to conceal easily.

no gun will be right for eveyone I'v gone through a few, mostly just to get something new, if i was bigger I would probably carry my g26 but its thick and pretty heavy, so lately I have carried a j frame revolver (ruger LCR)
most importantly for me, be comfortable to carry the gun chambered, possibly without a safety. unless you do ALOT of training to remove the safety when needed. no you will not have time to chamber a round when you need it. and I have missed birds during a hunt because i forgot safety was on.
