Glock 26! 9mm - Hated then LOVED!!

[@chrisf247]

I think the Glock 19 might be the largest gun people will actually carry, and the Glock 26 is the smallest 9mm you will actually enjoy shooting.

[@fotomotoxxiii]

19 and 26 are the best glocks ever.

I have a 21 in my nightstand and feel pretty good about it haha. I do also own a 17 and 19 with a 26 on the way.

Nothing better than a Glock 26 Gen 4 with the ext magazine, smooth, reliable, accurate. In Glock I trust.

[@elrafa5845]

Just got a glock 26 gen 5 its my favorite gun

[@matthewdiehl1647]

I have an old beat up 26 that ive put nearly 10k rounds through and it is flawlessly reliable. Its a gen 3. I pocket carry this bad boy all over the place with magpul 12 rounders. I can ring 3 and 4 inch steels all day at 20 yards with it. I have a lot of pistols, but this one is always with me

[@gilbertoesquivel9668]

I own and edc an old G26 Gen 3...It's crazy how big of a difference those talon grips make...My story is almost identical to yours although it didn't take a decade for me to love this gun...even down to the Shield 9 part. I carried that gun for a couple years and thought it was the end all be all...boy was I wrong! What is different in my version is that I bought a 'Scherer pinky Extender' and it does not pinch like the Pierce Grip....for me. Last I checked Scherer didn't make those anymore...but if you can find one on the used market check it out...no pinching! What's also crazy is how these new micro 9 'Glock Killer" guns out there like the Sig P365 are making guys all batty...and they start bashing the G26 as 'unconcealable', 'obsolete', let's see what other garbage do they say to justify the price tag they paid?...oh! 'Glock Guys are Miopic'....lol. meantime while my micro 9 shield collects dust in the safe everyday...the G26 rides VERY concealed on my body everyday even in shorts t-shirts and flip flops...with no issues.

Glock 26x = X grip installed on a glock 19 mag. Now I have 15+1 and doesn't really affect overall vertical length. CAN'T DO THAT WITH NO OTHER SUB COMPACT. GLOCK PERFECTION.

[@matthewshelton9573]

You can do that with most subcompacts actually.. XD, CZ P10, M&P, Sig 320, Canik TP9.. All those platforms offer that type of set up and those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

[@bradlayton8570]

Amazingly similar story to my own! Bought a Glock 26, tried it and tried it, didn’t like it, kept it in the safe for a decade, and was going to sell it when I decided to give it another try first … and fell in love with the thing! It has become my EDC and favorite handgun ever. I also love the Talon grip tape, but with a different twist … I use the Glock factory +2 G26 extended mags (the gun still conceals just fine and the extensions give my arthritic hands the real estate they need), and I ordered and installed the pre-cut Talon tapes on the mag extensions. Most secure grip EVER, and aesthetically appealing as the rubber Talon material goes well with the Glock Gen 3 factory grip texture. Great video, and I concur 100%!

[@DuncanMeter]

Awesome! And thanks for watching!

[@patrickslevin6424]

I too, bought a Glock 26 & 27. They remained in my locker for years before getting the 26 out and started firing and carrying it. Before that I carried a SIG P238 which is an excellent firearm but limits the user as far as ammo. The 26 fit the bill as I could carry with a 10 round mag. and get them benefit of a small firearm and carry one or two G19 mags for extra ammo. Love discovering a "new" gun I've had for years, again.

[@Motorcyclewindtherapy]

G26 with 17 backup mag since 2008. I own the 42,43,19...sold off the 23 and 27 to go to 9mm from 40. I also own some micro single stacks and they suck to shoot well and the 26 carries like a dream and I shoot it as well as anything I've ever shot. The 43 is actually larger than the 26 and why would I give up the double stack capacity and being able to swap out 15,17, and 33 rd mags? (Only use/trust Glock mags) I only changed the sights to XS glow big dots...all the internals are stock. Can't tell you how many rounds in all these years. Never a single malfunction for me. Congrats on loving your 26. Best option I've ever seen.

[@majorghostly]

Grinding the rough edge smooth on the pinky extension usually takes care of the pinch problem

[@ashleygovender4104]

Thank you for this very informative video. Even though I own the Glock 19 and Glock 17, I have carried the Glock 26 as my EDC firearm since 1999. I love it. I carry the 10 round factory mag and the G19 15 round magazine as back up.

All my friends were getting glocks. They trashed me for being a gun guy since 5th grade. I would tell everyone everything about guns and they hated.

I found this video because I'm currently in the market for a subcompact.. either 26, 43 or p365... I have Talon Grips on all my guns, even my AR, love them Lol. I like the rubber grips tho, feel great, look good and work amazing.

[@tylermassaromusic]

I would narrow it down to the 26 or p365, from everything I’ve heard the slight difference in thickness on the 43 isn’t enough to make a huge difference, plus take away the mag capacity from 10 to 6, as well as the compatibility the 26 has to accept any 9mm Glock mag making it more versatile. So 26 all day. As far as the p365 it’s also a great popular option

[@dankeglock]

Try the GLOCK OEM +2 mag extensions. The Pearce extension pinched my hand, but I don’t have the same issue with the GLOCK extensions. The G26 is a great firearm.

Much like you.....bought the 26/27 series Glock 10 years or so ago and just recently saw just how well the two fit into my ccw use. Just bought the first holster ever for the 26/27 and will now carry it more. First thing I need to do is get to the range and practice, making sure the sights are lined up. The interchangability of magazines was another big + for me, the 26 will take all the 9mm double stack mags. My original carry pistol was a SIG P938 but wanted something with a few more rounds and since I shoot the Glock 19 a lot the 26/27 was a natural step up.

[@istartedajoke1704]

Glock 26 gen 3 is my bedside pistol at night time I put in the A&G sleeve with the glock 19 magazine in.to be honest pinky or not I’m way more accurate with the 10 round flush magazine.which is counter productive when you take into account I put the 15 rounder in at night .lol I like me a g26 gen 3 flush!!!

I have both the Glock 19 Gen5 and 26 Gen5. Glock 19, no issues…BUT the 26 has issues with FTF, fail to go into battery and FTE issues. I use Fiocchi 9mm FMJ 115 grain target ammo. Same ammo for all my 9’s…only issue is with the 26. Should I try 124 grain? I’ve been shooting since 1974 and I am now 72, so I’m not a newbie to firearms and have taken numerous firearm classes and have no issues with my grip (as observed by the instructors). Any similar issues with the 26 out there? I’d appreciate your reply. Thx…

[@scottmishoe3490]

Yes. My g26 gen5. Same as the problems your having. Had not made it to the 3rd bullet out the box. Ftf. 4th stove pipe also slide would not lock back on last bullet. Repeat through a whole box of blazer 115gr. Went back and talk to several different dealers. Gen5’s were having this issue. I bought a box of 50 124gr. Shot all 50. No problems. Haven’t tried 147gr yet. 124s solved my problems. Hope this helps you. Scott
