Glock Model 26 vs 42 vs 43

[@blakelibby2140]

"Someone" said, You can't go wrong with a Glock 26. Never fully understood exactly what that meant till I ended up purchasing one. Now I know. Sweet to carry IWB daily and also have high capacity capabilities(33,17,15,10&9 round factory glock mags fit). Grip, controls, recoil and weight are extremely usable for the average person to use without issues. I personally would probably buy another 26 if I had to choose between the 3.

[@shamitoson]

Blake Libby completely agree. Already had a 17 then got a 26 for carry. With an extension on the mag or mag sleeve, the 26 shoots so nice I almost don't need the 17. It's the most versatile Glock IMO. Small and concealable with the flush mag, high capacity and comfortable to shoot with the big mags.

[@MrBlahblahblee]

@@shamitosonI love my 26 and for myself I would definitely buy another for backup. But I’m thinking a 42 might be better for the lady in terms of deeper concealment vs the 26

[@Motorcyclewindtherapy]

26 is myt 10 year EDC, 43 replaced my snubbie 442 for a backup gun. The 42 is my wife's favorite and I admit it - it's a SWEET, soft shooter. All in all...Glocks just work. Perfection. :)

[@aarontagious]

Model 36 was Glock's first single stack btw. Good video, I have the XS Big Dots on my 43 and really like them.

[@Conklikov]

Am I the only person who has 0 issues with factory glock sights. Seems like every video I see they are bashed, I like the style sight, polymer aside they still work decent for most defensive use.

[@eggxit5418]

factory glock sights in my opinion are not to bad at all

[@grady7443]

Nope, your not the only one.

[@nickgood8166]

I believe in keeping my Glock stock as the Austrian engineer designed it. I've had the factory Glock plastic sights, with an adjustable rear plastic sight on my Glock 26 Gen 3 for over a decade, I just replaced it with Glock factory fixed steel sights, only because I dropped the pistol whilst cleaning it and the plastic front sight was deformed.

[@Jerry-LZ]

its because they are plastic lol people think that affects them. That being said, I still changed mine over to nightsights just because I don't care for the white on sights.

[@ionianatlas7037]

I dont get it either. The factory sights on my Glock 17 are just fine.

[@MikeM4729]

Finally someone pointed out if you put the extended mag in a 26 it's the size of a 19! I have both and noticed it right away. I don't use extended for that reason. It's the butt that prints. 26 summer and 19 winter.

[@shamitoson]

Mike Malone so if you can have only one, 26! Most versatile Glock.

[@AGuy-s5v]

I made a comment similar to yours about the extended pinky grip. It just never made sense to me. Almost as if people are doing this on purpose just to piss of people that used thier heads...

[@PracticallySquared1]

Nice video. I personally carry my 26 around 4 o'clock, I taught myself to shoot without a pinky and I do that on all my guns so no need for a extension. I do use the GAP floor plates, they make it easier to control and don't effect concealment. I'm thinking about a 43 but I like having 10+1 in my 26 and don't think the trade off is worth it. My 26 is very comfortable iwb around 3-6 o'clock.

[@billblake4029]

Excellent explanation and review Sir. Thank you.

[@mkline718]

Very good video, think I'm going to go with 43 for conceal. I have the 17 now (19 didn't feel as good in my hand)

[@rangerben1787]

Dude nice video. well said and concise

[@chochemancientone3833]

Actually the Glock 36 (45ACP) was Glock's first single stack.

[@xxblaccxxjakk7838]

" Single Stack 9mm""

[@smOVERCOMINGITALL]

I am so stuck on the 26 or the 43. i'm not sure if the models have changed but i have heard a lot of people say that the 43 is almost pointless to buy when the 26 is so similar. i haven't been able to personally look or compare them yet. I am a petite girl and i'm looking to conceal appendix carry eventually which leans me toward the 43 but the compacity frankly pisses me off lol. i know i could get an extended mag but at that point i could have just gotten a 26 and gain even more rounds. I'm so conflicted.

[@ydursot]

Get a plus 2 extendeder and increase the Glick 43 to 8+1 rounds

[@PracticallySquared1]

They have a Tiffany blue glock 26 that I bought my fiancé. She loves it and it's the same as mine just different color. With a nice holster and good gun belt the 26 is the way to go!

[@troytruong8246]

g26 is too big for small people! I have medium hands and its still uncomfortable with the grip! G43 is definitely betta to cc. 7+1 or 8+1 is more than enough.

[@trailertrashtactics]

@@ydursot why, to decrease concealability?

[@jodiwisehart7054]

I really liked your video, it was very clear.

[@worldwidemiz1224]

That was pleasant and objective. Well done.

[@JimBailey]

Super video on the three firearms. :)

[@douglasphillips24]

The 26 is the best option for me & I can use my G17 & 19 mags in it for back up. 43 is a good option & I actually prefer the stock ball & cup sights.

[@7743dustin]

Dfcguns- great video although the 42 is not the first single stack from 45 was they make

[@billlindsay4274]

Nice review! What are the sights you mention? I see someone mentions the XS Big Dots below... what are the others?

[@Its_Just_you-0200]

i really like the way you explain the details in each mode@caliber i feel like i am in the shop getting ready to buy pistol. #GoodCustomerService keep it up.

[@MidniteSon]

What about if you already own a Model 26? The G43 doesn't really seem like that it offers much other than a slimer profile.

[@alphanumeric1529]

That is exactly what it offers. If that is valuable to you, then get it.

[@BradAnderson153]

Great Video... Greatly appreciated!

[@mustafafaisal6020]

Thank you!

[@TheBootzN]

very good comparisons, succinct, should sell a lot of Glocks.

[@dangolden829]

Terrific review!

[@jasonburns6411]

What a great review!

[@AILDdrums]

Very well spoken, nice video.

[@kmsharley75]

Good,new shooter here and now I know I'm doing something right. Glock 19 and Glock 43 for back up. Meprolights on the 19 and coming soon for Lil Sis lol

[@MrWhitelightning73]

Got the 43. Added Pearce pinky+1 extension = 7+1. 👍🏾👍🏾

[@grady7443]

If you like the 26 for cc, why not the 33? Only 1 or 2 less rounds & a much more effective round. Same size gun, ect.

[@shamitoson]

grady jr because 9mm is much cheaper to shoot so you can actually practice with it. Also more controllable and higher capacity.

[@seanschweska856]

Why would I pick a 43 over a S&W revolver

[@Sinoevil12]

Thats actually a great point. I thought the point of semi auto pistols were the higher capacity rounds. With the same rounds as a revolver why would i even risk the jamming at all when i know i could use a more reliable revolver

[@snatchclap]

Paul Marmol Ability to reload.

[@7743dustin]

Easier reloads one more round with the plus one option. That's about it.

[@Warburg2]

It's lighter and much easier to conceal.

[@Rajuncajun79]

Great video

[@lessisalwaysmore7627]

Nice video. On February 2016 I will come to USA to see my brother, he work as Secret Service agent in DC, maybe I can visit to your store. See you bro 😀😀😀

[@JudahJourney]

Good review!

[@LiChoiFungfan]

Not bad but, if you are going to reference a G19 then you may as well display it so as not to confuse some people.

[@tonyworlds2297]

He did

[@UncleOji]

Very helpful thanks a lot

[@nicocabrera7675]

My g26 is still much more comfortable and prints less than my g19 to carry plus I have a g19 magazine for backup

[@mgallager1449]

Good video. I didn't see a gun safety check on any of these firearms. Common sense if you work in a gun shop.

[@droopydonttrip1123]

I can not believe how many people are so sensitive about the thickness of a 26 our new generation of men are turning in to soft woman wow cant believe it they for "so uncomfortable " with a 26 then maybe dont carry a gun because most likely a whimp that cant carry a 26 wouldnt even have it in him to squeeze the trigger and defend himself

[@seanstrickland4970]

A lot of people live in states where it is illegal to carry so we can have zero printing

[@rlm3979]

Glock- please come out with extended magazines

[@The-Homecook-0000]

G19..g43.. Ruler lcp pocket gun for me......

[@thenextgen1able]

The 42 shouldn't have even been in the video. It's .380 while the 26 and 42 are 9mm, which is what 99% of people are looking to be compared...single stack vs double stack.
