Gen 5 G26 Glock Review

[@jerridgossett62]

As far as "lack of innovation" if it's not broke don't fix it. Personally it's comforting to know that when I pick up a Glock it's familiar. I can shoot it right out of the box. There's a reason why I keep coming back to them, THEY WORK! Thanks Sootch00

[@sootch00]

Spot on Jerrid! Thanks Brother and Congrats on being 1st to comment! Lol!

[@hayseed2360]

Jerrid Gossett The only thing that needs fixing is enlarging the trigger well. I don't carry Glock in the winter because of this issue.

[@twiz8789]

Boom!! Right on the money

[@twiz8789]

Hey sootch, not sure if ya follow football...but ROLL TIDE!!! Yea this Pennsylvania boy is a Bama fan haha

[@jerridgossett62]

Hay Seed I would say factory steel sights too. But I live in SC where usually mechanics gloves work more then fine. It's a non issue for me. If you live in the colder states I would completely agree. That's why Tim at MAC quit carrying his 19.

[@krisbennett9852]

It's called Glock perfection for a reason. You don't change perfection

[@sertank735]

Pursuit of perfection

[@SouthSidePlayas]

It’s Budget perfection that works, Perfection of a Handgun would be The Atlas Erebus or Atlas Artemis.

[@THEWILDLIFEOV]

I carried a Glock 23 for 20 of my 36 years in law enforcement, and carried a G27 off duty. Today, as a retired L.E. officer, I carry a Glock 43. I always felt that my Glocks could meet any threat I may encounter either on duty, or off, and I still feel that way today. They are utterly reliable, and utterly deadly.

[@TEastB]

Not to be in any of your business but would you care to share if there was an incident of which you ever had to use them? Just curious!

now the question i check ebay there are chrome slides but only for 1 2 3 4 gens should i buy put on gen 5? i mean it will fit it? or am i gonna go through some issues?

[@gunsquawk4443]

Glock is reliable because Glock is simple. When I really need a gun, the SIGs and HKs stay in the safe, I feel more confident with my Glocks. They always work.

[@sategllib2191]

I wouldn't be grabbing a handgun anyways if I'm at home

[@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess]

SIG and HK are both used by militaries around the world. If it's good enough for the military it should be good enough for a civilian that won't put the gun through nowhere near the same abuse

[@sophysticaptain6842]

Gunsquawk 44 I trust my Hk the same if not more than my Glock .

[@IamDoogy]

Agreed. Their reliability comes at least in part, from their simplicity. The rest of it comes from some amazing engineering and precision execution in the manufacturing process.

[@Hawn7474]

Me too..I have sigs and smith and wesson m&p 2.0 but my go too are my glocks..its just reliable..

[@irishdefense77]

The most important thing in my mind is it’s reliability-I have trusted my very life to this platform(G19 and 26) for 28 years-first as an issued weapon in the military(SFCDU) and now the SP in my state.Over 500,000 rounds fired total and I never once have had a malfunction that was contributed to the weapon.Some of the magazines while loaded for long periods would fail to lock open on the last round,but never a failure-saltwater,sand,mud,dirt,etc-never.

[@IamDoogy]

That's quite an endorsement.

[@irishdefense77]

@@IamDoogy sorry it took so long to get back-it’s just truth.I have no qualms trusting my life to a Glock.They have never failed me.I may treat them better than most because I clean my weapons weekly whether they’re fired or not,because they’re invariably carried in all weather,but I do clean them.Still, they eat what you feed them and never malfunction.

[@ES44AC-2]

I carry my Glock G26 Gen 4 every day. I have started using the Magpul G26 mags for concealed carry and a Factory G17 mag in my pocket. I'm going to continue to carry my G26, I think the gen 5 is great. I may buy one of them because of the barrel. Thanks for the review Sootch.

[@bondalero0074]

Agreed, my Gen4 G26 w/Pearce grip extentions on 10 rnd. mags edc will be hard to beat and tried G43 selling it quickly. G17,G19, 33 rnd. factory mags all run perfect too!#GlockPerfection@ James ES44AC-2

I love my new Gen 5 / G26....my first Glock and I get it now. I'll be getting the Gen 5 / G19 & G17 very soon. Being left handed the Glock Gen 5 slide stop-release actually works properly, and easily...makes this my new favorite.

[@YawYan_fighterAlex]

Glock 26, the best concealed carry gun which comes with three 10-Round magazines. It's also compatible with Glock 19 and Glock 17 magazines.

Thanks. I appreciate your reviews. I’m carrying my 26.5 right now and usually do. Had it since mid-2018.

[@framusburns-hagstromiii808]

I have been carrying a g43 for ccw but even with a magazine extender I found it difficult to shoot well consistently. I recently picked up a gen5 26 and was amazed at how much easier it is to shoot well ...you are spot on about the accuracy, improved trigger, etc. I don't notice the extra thickness and weight over the g43 really. .plus I can use the Glock mags from my gen 4 g34 . Picked up a couple 12 round Glock factory mags and a crossbreed super tuck so I'm good to go! Thanks for a great review!

[@Rwalt61]

I bought my first Glock a Gen5 G17 2 weeks ago and I just shot it yesterday. Put 150 rounds through it and it ran like a well a Glock should. I love it.

[@jameschastain1904]

Right now I have a Taurus model 85 .38 special revolver, and it is my very first handgun. I bought it because I only had $300 to spend and I do like revolvers, and I wanted a very small CCW gun, and it was on sale for 269$ at a local gun store. Although I like revolvers, if I would have had a bigger budget I would have definitely got a 9mm Glock, but at that time I hadn’t done much research so I had no idea about what model I wanted. Today that’s a different story, one of the many reasons I watched your video, and loved it by the way and will be subscribing, is because I’ve had my eye on the Glock 26 for a good amount of months now. The reasons I want the model 26 are pretty simple, I want the smallest concealed carry Glock 9mm without giving up the adaptability to use different mags and backstraps etc. Not to mention it’s small and it can still has a good amount of ammo in the stock clip. The Glock 43 is what most want for CCW and swear by. I don’t like the shorter ammo amount of the stock clip and especially don’t like that you lose all your adaptability when you have a 43, and the only difference size wise from my research is just like you said in your video, is the same length pretty much but it a thicker gun, which I don’t mind at all, and feel more comfortable with a thicker frame, as it seems to be stronger of a frame than the 43, but that’s just my opinion going by the looks. Anyway loved your video, can’t wait to see more and would love to know your thoughts on the Glock 26 for my second gun to have for a CCW, and first automatic I’ll own, and second handgun I’ll own, and by the way, I have small to medium hands with skinny fingers, so I think it’ll handle great. Loved the video, let me know your thoughts if you can. And sorry, where are my manners, my name is James Kenley Chastain, but I go by my middle name Kenley, but you can call me James or Kenley.

[@bondalero0074]

I sold my G43( wasnt enough for me) using the G26(Gen4) w/Pearce grip extensions on 10 round mags. It uses my G17,G19, and 33 rnd factory mags. I have Sig 938 Rosewood also but G26 feels it was made for me. G26 was $500 Sig 938 was $699 so its a no brainer!#G26#GlockPerfection@James Chastain

[@darylturner8960]

I have carried a 26 for over seven years. I had a Ghost trigger installed and night sights. The plus two magazine plates were a good addition too. Thirteen rounds of +P 9mm that will fit in a pants pocket is awesome.

I am former law enforcement and own multiple handguns. This is my #1 everday carry firearm. You cannot go wrong with a Glock for reliability and performance. Great video!!!

[@MichaelGroomsVolsFan]

Excellent and informative video. What made Glock great will keep Glock great. I love the uniformity between models and calibers. I like the fact that the feel and muscle memory with one Glock will carry over to the next. I am glad Glock doesn't listen to the naysayers and keeps producing the same quality firearm year after year.

[@lilbigdaddy2294]

Great review Uncle Sootch! As always.. Hopefully i'll be getting a carry piece this year and I'm seriously considering the Glock 26 Gen 5 because of the ambi slide release. Thought about the 1911 .45 acp (because my uncle have one, and it shoots well) but i just find it heavy for edc at work, as I am just a small guy. Hopefully it will be available here in the Philippines too at a fair price point by the time Im all set for picking up my first carry piece. Keep the excellent reviews coming! Cheers!

[@ELChapo7.62]

Out of all of the Glock models and generation I pretty much have owned all of them This is my favorite and I shoot it so accurately it’s incredible

[@richb.4374]

Great video Sootch. My EDC is the Glock 27 Gen 3. I have no plans to change. I love the Gen 3 in .40 cal. I wouldn't mind adding one of these to my collection though. .

[@Chayonray]

I bought a Gen 5 Glock a couple of weeks ago in order to have the same pistol as one of my business partners who's new to shooting. I was pleasantly surprised at how accurately it shot, especially at 10 yards. I totally agree that not having a pinkie finger grip was a non-issue. I have ordered and received 2 magazines with +2 extensions and will be testing them shortly and will be interested to see if I find a difference in accuracy. It is definitely a winner! Like you I own a number of different pistols, including several subcompacts, so I'm no Glock Fanboy either. Double thumbs up! Thanks for the excellent review sir!

[@TheWVgoodguy22]

Another great review video Sootch. I am glad that Glock finally came out with the Gen 5 and having an ambi slide release. I am a left handed/left eye dominate (right handed for everything else) shooter and find that helpful and one of the reasons why I bought a Smith & Wesson M&P Pro C.O.R.E in .40 cal instead of the Glock was for the ambi features and it's made in the U.S.A. I am thinking of getting a concealed carry and the M&P Shield, G26 Glock and SA XD9 among a few others are options. So this Gen 5 will help in that regard. I also hope that the Gen 5s are available in more than 9mm as stated about the 2 pin design, because I would absolutely LOVE to get a Glock Model 40 M.O.S. Long Slide 10MM in the Gen 5 for a badass range gun, hunting semi handgun and bear country open carry protection piece (yes I know that a 44 mag and up revolver would be better, but they are heavy for just a protection piece, even though I do want one for hunting bear, boar, etc in the future). God Bless America and Long Live the Republic!

[@sinqros]

I’ve owned so many Glock’s since 2012, CZs like the PCR, Sig Sauer P229, M&P Shield, etc etc, but I just keep coming back to Glock

[@bpear1600]

Great review, as always. G26-4 has been my EDC for five years, and I love it, but I'm going to add the gen 5 to my collection. I already have the G19-5 and consider it an improvement over the G19-4 so this is a no brainer. The new barrel not only improves accuracy it comes clean easier for some reason.

[@jjreal9910]

I've had my CC license since last summer, I'm glad I waited till now so that I can purchase this new design. Very good information and excellent job showing how to shoot. I'm glad Glock enables upgrading with night sights.

Love my gen 5 26 and 19. Simple and reliable 👍

[@stevesquick92]

I just picked up a gen 5 revision 2 today. It’s a USA build but I’ll learn the live with it... I prefer the Austrian print. I know... I know... first world problems. I’m torn on the actual usage of the front serrations that the gen5 revision adds on such a short gun... but I prefer them tbh. Thanks for your reviews on this gun. It helped me tip the scale towards actually making the plunge. Will go great with my g19, g45, and my wife’s 43x. Here’s to hoping she doesn’t claim the g26 as her own! Lol

[@vinnier6]

The 26 was actually introduced as a gen 2.5 gun...finger grooves and no front strap checkering...I think the gen 4 is my favorite now, I like finger grooves and 3 pins...

[@gregbrizendine]

I have carried mine for five years now as my CC. I do carry with the pinky extensions - the basic magazine - I hate the no pinky grip . Eats all ammo - but I do not shoot steel. Mine is a Gen 3 grip sucks - slick - I had a slip on rubber grip to enhance it - now I need to get some tape. Love the fact that I can put my Glock 17 and 19 magazines in it.

I am in love with this new Glock !!!!

[@jeffandstuff821]

I am not a Glock guy but definitely respect the platform. If I were to pick one up in the future, it would be a 26 simply because you can run the 26/19/17/33 mags. I would like to see Glock try to produce another type of firearm...a shotgun, an AR. If they can apply the same level of quality to another type of firearm, we might not see stuff like the 19X lol

[@rodwilliams6655]

I own a 27 and a 22. A 30 and a 19x will be my next two. And yes, I do own other brands as well. Most all guys who review guns love Glocks. The majority of law enforcement carry Glocks. When it comes to carrying something that might either save or cost me my life in a split second, I will trust a Glock over anything else.

[@andrewlinesjah4538]

sootch00 This great video of yours has led to my comment : The G26 G5 is top of it's class as a CCW in the 10round + Category And that makes it a serious competitor in the 12 and 13round Category due to extended base plates And a serious 15round category competitor due to Glocks interchangeable magazines most especially 15round G19 backup mags for the G26 Glock adding the marksman barrel to the G26 G5 and removing the finger grooves has made the G26 a serious competitor against the Beretta PX4 Storm Compact 9mm and The Beretta PX4 Storm Compact Carry 9mm The G26 G5 being an extremely flat shooter is a true CCW And with it's marksman barrel one can feel comfortable shooting 124gr 9mm GDHP +P for self defense The new improved rifling is another serious factor that has elevated the G26 G5 Thereafter for CCW deep concealment - It's all Kahr ! JAH BLESS TRUMP 2020 # # # And I now recommend the G26 G5 as a Prime CCW that conceals very well ! And I am even contemplating making the G26 G5 my CCW # # # EXCELLENT VIDEO sootch00 ! ! !

My first experience with Glocks was 2001, 2002. A model 32(357 sig) & a 19, both with Clinton mags that didn't work. They've been "damned Ole Glocks" ever since. But like that stray dog that wanders up & keeps coming back they wind up growing on ya. My default backup in training classes is my 19(now with 15 round mags that work) & it just keeps finding its way on my nightstand too. Guess it found a home. Truth is, for me, if I do most of my practice with a Glock I can pick up pretty much anything else & it'll perform fine. Can't say that about any other gun.

[@tylerknight2616]

If you are thinking about getting a 26 go ahead and get one. I've had mine for 3 months and put about 600 rounds through it just fine. I'm coming from a xds 45 and shield 45, and the extra thickness is actually a good thing for me. Love this gun

One way to over come the short the short grip, Hickok45 recommends carrying reload mags that are 12 or 15 rounds. Makes sense since now your concealed pistol is no longer a surprise.

I've owned most of the Glock Pistols in Gen 3, a couple in Gen 2...None in Gen 4, but now I own 3 Gen 5 that I am 100% happy with them. From being a 1911 man then changes...um uh, on the most part. I have used them on tactical courses and love the Glocks. :)

Just Bought This Model for My Birthday Monday, Love It 👍🏽

[@mikestrunk3282]

Picked up one like new used with night sights and mag extensions. Love the factory plus 2 also. Since I have a 34, 17, 19 the 26 was just needed. Have a 43 but liking the 26 more. $375 out the door rocked! All paperwork still sealed. Great video!

The only Glock I have ever shot was the 30S that I rented. It’s sights were way off but after I compensated for them I was very Impressed with its operation. I’m a 45 fanboy, however, I did buy a Taurus PT111 G2 after hearing how happy people were with them. I can also say mine has been perfect in its operation since day one. And it was very inexpensive to buy. Mine came with the lifetime warranty which I hear they have re-instated. Smart move Taurus.

I am in the same situation, I shot thousands of rounds thru glock. I am so comfortable with the pistol I don’t want to change. It’s like old guys still carrying 1911.

[@DMRCapitalHill]

The G5 magazine release is amazing it’s nice and smooth!

[@MemphisMike901]

Still have my Gen3 26..probably at least 20yrs old!

[@pineforest7528]

Bought an ankle holster for the 26 for "carry" protection while I'm out working here on our farm. Now all I need is the gun ! Never know what sort of crazy will come out of the woods. I have a Taurus pistol but it's far too large and heavy for practical carry. Great, simple gun, though.

[@MLoges86]

I wish they did all the changes, except left it 3 pin, and left the 1 sided slide stop. I like the improved finish, barrel, and removal of grooves.

[@dustinpenick1403]

I know a lot of guys don't like it, but I'd rather have it in .40 Hey, Sootch, I miss the mustache, Buddy!

[@BEHChrome]

Looking for a facial hair comment. I like the current look.

[@jona5517]

Still carrying my gen 3 from 02...not one failure yet, all stock.

@sootch00 has done justice to a fine handgun. I carry the Gen 5 in a Tulster Contour OWB at 3:00. When I got mine, I took it out of the box, field stripped, inspected, dropped a couple drops of oil, reassembled, went to the range, and have been there several times. This handgun just works. It's a defensive handgun. You need it to work when that situation arises, and this gun will. Take yours to the range, verify POA/POI and work from there. I keep mine stock, as CC handguns should be in my opinion. My 3rd Glock. They just work. Nuff said. @sootch00, you do good work. Appreciate Ya.

[@Hickeroar]

Tenifer and Nitride are not finishes, they're metal treatments that can't be "seen" but are embedded in the metal surface itself. The black coating on the outside of the pistol is neither. That's essentially just "paint."

[@tuzbubey]

Bought one today. That is after a dozen of other concealed pistols I own. Will see.

[@77zzz777]

tuzbubey still have it and any issues

[@self-talkwithneo6589]

I love my Glock 26 Gen 5. Its a good handgun. Everybody must own a Glock

Much more thorough review than others on KZbin. Thanx!

[@MDpolo]

I purchased a G26 gen 5 with Ameriglo sights. The rear sight was way off to the right. Had to take it to the shop to have it adjusted. Not a big deal, but come on Glock.
