Glock 26: Best handgun ever??

[@dbnarizona]

Awesome gun! You cannot go wrong. It is reliable, accurate, easy to shoot, very accurate, low recoil, fast followup shots, small and concealable with Glock reputation. I love it!

[@theChestnutMtnTinman]

Love my 27. Fired many rounds through it. Glocks are great as they will go forever without cleaning.

[@MarylandRefugee2014]

+Ron Bridgefarmer that is soooo true, mine has needed a cleaning forever lol

[@papabeanguy]

you should clean your gun

[@cameronizatt3293]

Why would you want to run your gun dirty?

[@sweetcostarica]

The stock Glock sights are actually very, very good for fast self-defence shooting. Which is their intended purpose. And even though Glock sights are plastic/polymer they are *tough enough and reliable enough.* If you change them you will find out how solidly attached to the gun they really are. I have owned at less 9 Glocks in 15 years. Never had an issue with the stock sights at all in CCW & range shooting. But of course they are not tougher than steel & they are not night sights so they like most handguns need to be replaced with other sights for the best 24 hour all-round use. EDIT: Good video, BTW!

[@joetraina6844]

I didn't want to be a Glock "Fan Boy" I really didn't, but...I am. The 26 was my first and that Damn gun is SO great I now own the 19, 27, 29 and 43. I also have a Kimber and the 938, but I've come to realize Glock is for me. I love the fit, the simplicity, the reliability and the fact that if I teach my wife and daughter on one Glock, they'll know how to use them all if need be. Plus...And this is big, all holsters for my 26 work on my 27...And some my 19 too. The 43 is a great summer carry in the pocket. The 29 is supreme in the woods. The nineteen is my bedside gun with its rail for a flashlight and the 27 is just fun and I have a little extra peace of mind with the .40 during very heavy clothing season. The 30 will be next and it will fit my 29 holsters perfect. Again, I love my Kimber Ultra Carry 2 and my Sig 938 for additional pocket carry, but Glock is for me. I just like them and shoot them all great. Excellent video. Subbed.

[@MarylandRefugee2014]

[@brysonw1815]

I hear that I didn't wanna love Glocks but do I own the 19,26,21 but Leaning towards a sig next

[@brettb4452]

Bryson Wilkinson I didn't want to be a sig fanboy because of their price, but once you own one, you will be. I now own about 8 of them. Sig has the best factory trigger on average and the quality is top notch. It's nice having steel framed guns that have a little heft to them. Didn't start off liking glocks either but now own 2 17s, 19, 26, 27, and 34. Next one will be the 30s. Damn I am going to be gun poor forever!

[@jcbalesk777]

Glock 17, glock 19, glock 21, glock 26, and glock 30 is all i need. 21 for home defense. And 26 and 30 for carry. 17 goes in my MCK and 19 is for plinking/train for newbies

[@Panda74gofaster]

When I saw the first minute , I thought I was watching myself go and day shoot. That is exactly what I do. Good video. Keep it up...

[@AcheronLV-426]

I love how you keep your non-triggef index finger on the front of the trigger guard to stabilize the recoil. I didn't figure out this trick for about a year after owning mine! Helps dramatically! Great design by Glock and great technique for shooting!

[@jasso811]

I love my Glock 26. I upgraded the sights and stuck a decent extension for carry on my mags and it's basically a 19 that can become smaller for summer carry.

[@MarylandRefugee2014]

+C Jasso exactly!!

[@shamitoson]

C Jasso I feel the same way. Too many say just get a 19 but the 26 does everything a 19 can do AND can be smaller when you want.

[@243wayne1]

+C Jasso- Fuck those pinky extensions. My "Pinky extension" is a G19 or G17 15 round or 17 round *MAGAZINE!* Class dismissed.

[@coreyfaith9745]

great video man👍 keep up the fantastic work brother! I just picked up a glock 26 gen 4 about 3 weeks ago. and I took it to the range yesterday for the first time, and let me say...I love this firearm!!!! love the simplicity like all glocks&really enjoy being able to pick up any other glock&they are the exact same besides may be size, thickness, caliber, or mods/parts. my first handgun when I was 22 was a glock 19 gen 3. I've always bought&stuck with glock, but recently fell in love with sigs after shooting a p229, p226 legion, and a 320x carry.

[@wordforlife1585]

I just got my 1st glock 26 and I love it. It came with pearce pinky extensions plus 1. Good video man. Your camera is awesome.

[@TheBoxingCannabyte]

Finally wound up on the SIG P226 DAK and another one with an SRT DA/SA and an HK P2000 LEM, P30SK DA/SA V3 and. Love, love, love my Glock 19, and to me they all fall under an umbrella of awesomeness and it's dealer's choice. I prefer a longer trigger, but consistent, and revolvers, so a DAK (Surprisingly, very surprisingly, traditionally I carried the M1911A1 in my 2nd and 3rd tour vs the M9, or an HK USP) really nailed it for me with it's insane accuracy and follow ups. the HK LEM as well, imo the HK P2000 LEM and the Glock 19 are the two best out of the box carry size polymer framed pieces on the market. SIG P239, Kimber Ultra Carry II (and similar 1911s), Chiappa White Rhino are other favorites

[@taffbanjo]

It's very fashionable to hate the factory Glock sights but I've never had any problems with them... Another thing - most of the finger pressure in the grip should come from the second and third fingers. I've found that my pinky on the grip causes more problems than it solves. If two fingers on the grip is good enough for Hickok45, then it's certainly good enough for me!

[@ghosthand3of9]

I agree with you on the grip. I put night sights on mine but I was ok with the factory sights. I actually blacked out the rear sight.

[@AcheronLV-426]

I like the factory sights. They work just fine in the dark if you use a flashlight, but in a pinch, night sights are a luxury that I feel is more of a necessity. This, of course, is just for carry. No need if it's simply recreational. Stock sights work great otherwise!

[@adventchild5150]

I agree when I focus on the front sight as one should the rear sight outline helps me place it faster. Don’t see what all the fuss is about.

[@chrisstrobel3439]

Great review. I'm thinking of adding the 26 to my 21 and 34, and this review was perfect. Thanks!

[@GunCollector007]

Great video. It's not talked about much anymore but it's one of the best guns around.

[@MarylandRefugee2014]

+Gun Collector007 totally agree! With the ability to be a subcompact and use 17rd mags it's the original hybrid pistol. All the other manufacturers are following suit. The Springfield xd subcompact is a perfect example, including both flush and high capacity mags. Glock set the bar high!

[@HighSpeedNoDrag]

Thee Glock 26 is a POWERHOUSE and a Beast.

[@Rexcat65]

Meprolights makes a set specifically for the Glock 26

[@twotwentyswift]

"A POWERHOUSE" and a beast? No, not even close. It's just a little 9mm with a poor trigger. I have one because it's reliable, fits my hand (after grinding off the silly finger grooves on my gen 4) and is easy to conceal carry. Glock doesn't make any calibers I would consider a powerhouse, but the 10mm Model 29 has adequate power in a compact size. If you want a powerhouse that's a size practical to carry you need a revolver in a caliber like .44 mag. Dirty Harry swore by his :) The 9mm is a good caliber because of its low recoil and every member of your family can shoot it comfortably. My son asked for a Glock on his 12th birthday so I got him a 17 in 9mm and he's become a good shooter with it over the years and I expect it'll serve him well for years to come.

[@twotwentyswift]

@Nateamus The Streamlight TLR-6 is a nice setup that's made for the G26 and attaches nicely to the trigger guard since the 26 has no rail mount. Viridian also makes a nice setup you can get with the green laser but it does go through batteries much faster.

[@skipskipper99]

really like my 26. Just added a hyve technologies +2 base plate on one of the mags. the grip feels great. but you are right the gun just runs .

[@MarylandRefugee2014]

+skip skipper sure does! They really are amazing firearms :).

[@maneaglesummer]

I have a gen 2 Glock 26 which I run with the higher capacity magazines.My I enjoyed your review. Thanks for using good language, no low life language. I appreciate that.

[@maneaglesummer]

I also wanted to say that I bought mine with a crimson trace laser insalled. I was $679.95 before taxes.

[@maneaglesummer]

I have had it for maybe 15 or 17 years and I don't remember ever having a failure.

[@maneaglesummer]

Sorry, I found a receipt and it looks like I bought it only ten years ago. 2007!

[@PoeOutdoors]

Good video, subbed. I've owned the G19, 23 and 43 and my kids own some Glocks as well. I've done videos on them and believe they are good at doing what they are designed to do. After I removed my fan boy blinders I realized how many great choices there are on the market and sold all 3 of mine. I don't miss them at all but that's not intended to bash the brand. IMO you can't go wrong with Glock, Sig, H&K and M&P for a self-defense pistol.

[@MarylandRefugee2014]

+Poe Performance I agree with all your choices except m&p lol. I wanted the 45 m&p so badly, but I have since been disappointed by it :/.

[@PoeOutdoors]

MarylandRefugee No problem, thankfully there are enough great choices out there to suit individual needs. My M&P 40 was great and even had an excellent trigger. I'm a new HK fanboy now and don't see that changing any time soon.

[@PoeOutdoors]

A year later and I'm back on the Glock train for good. The G26 is with me daily now. What a great carry gun it is!

[@johngrunwell]

Totally agree but alot of great guns out there. The G26 for CCW, when I draw, I know I'm holding gun with a solid grasp and it's size and weight absorbs the recoil with good re-acquisition of the target. No bells or switches, two fingers or three, 15 to 50 feet, great shooter and above all, RELIABLE.

[@Ok-551]

John Grunwell I agree. Big hands don’t like small single stacks. 10+1 with a solid grip, inside of 25 feet as accurate as my 17.

[@johnsnider8236]

If you like the extended grip, check out the GAP floor plate for the 26. It locks the ring finger to the mag and helps with control. I love my 26 and carry it all the time.

[@MarylandRefugee2014]

+John Snider I'll have to try one of those. Just looked into it, they look solid. Thanks for the info :).

[@dhsu04]

Oh nice, thank you for the compliments on my 26 ;P

[@RedcoatsReturn]

All true, correct, accurate, fair and insightfully well explained. Nice job!

[@chaseww]

It is one of the best handguns to carry worthy best but it tends to get a little heavy little bulky but what I do is I carry the Liberty civil defense ammo in it and it's 50% lighter on the magazine to save the weight added when loaded

[@triprabowo3931]

i'm a glock 26 lover ..its beauty n powered...

[@trent3872]

I've got a 30sf and 23 which is my edc. But I put a gen 4 26 on layaway last Thursday. Can't wait to get it. Small perfect for concealment and accuracy.

[@oscarostolaza1]

The gloss on the bullets is a lacquer they put on these bullets for corrosion resistance, once the barrel heats up it tends to melt the lacquer on the bullets as they go into the chamber and the cases tend to stick to the chamber and cause extraction problems especially if fired rounds are left chambered and allowed the lacquer to cool down while chambered tend to stick to the chamber as a hot glue gun would tend to do, best bet is cleaning the chamber, barrel, firing pin, extractor...etc. at once when with the firing session is done, that's the fringe benefits of using cheap ammo!

[@bitethebulletchannel2191]

My glock 26 is my favorite concealed carry gun. It goes everywhere with me. Good video brother keep it up.

[@MarylandRefugee2014]

+BiteTheBulletChannel thanks brother :). I appreciate the support

[@maxwellmortimermontoure7274]

Love my 26! Added a +2 baseplate and carry an extra g17 mag. 12+1+17=30 rounds of fuck off in a small package. Reason I carry a 17rd mag is mostly for clearing a malfunction, having a big mag is easier for me to grab and get in my gun when seconds count and it's not much harder to carry than a 10rd mag. Much love for my 26.

[@JR-wo3sn]

All things considered, this is the best overall handgun ever made. Most people shoot this better than the 19, has combat applications and can take larger mags. All of that combined with its reliability and simplicity makes this a must own. I would never sell or trade off my 26. If I could only own one handgun, this would be it.

[@anthonydavis5365]

I also have the g26 gen 4 I think it's a really good ccw. The trigger pull is lighter than my g43 trigger to me. The g26 can also use all the Glock 9mm magazines which makes it perfection at its best with way less recoil. Nice review man eats everything u feed it

[@MarylandRefugee2014]

+Anthony Davis she really is one of the best ever made IMO. Fits so many different roles..

[@TheBoxingCannabyte]

Got a gen 3 Glock 26 for the right price, lol, with veteran's discount and every other discount and boom, it was down to $420 new with a desantis IWB gunhide holster which ain't half bad, imo. Really enjoy the fuck outta it, got some pearce grip extensions in spite of hearing mixed shit about it, put 13 in no problem with +1 that was really fun, used the other as-is, no problems in over 400 rounds in two shooting sessions, soon to b e 3 in an hour or two :). btw the Canick TP-9 SF is really, really holding up, I want to compare it with a G17 and I love the G26, it's my favorite handgun over quite a fair collection for my age and money-ranges, not just with the "ahhh, it's new, i love it, merry christmas to me!"-eyes. Once nice thing about the grip extensions is you get a g-19-ish feel if you so desire so it's kinda the best of both worlds when practicing and...anyway at defensive range the sights i've found are doable even though I'm used to the modded tritium night sights on my Kimber TLE 2 or my Beretta m9 (or 92fs for many).

[@roberthardenglens9429]

just use model19 mags.

[@richw1907]

Awsome gun, great review, and I will probably get shit for this, but I was a glock fan boy scents the late 80s, but then I got a S&W M&P , now I have the M&P 22, full size 9, compact 9, shield 9, no glocks in my stable, the 9C does 13 rounds and takes the full size 17 round magazine, maybe its the feel in my hand but now im a M&P fan boy, good luck from northern Idaho.

[@bdm1000]

I personally don't get grip extensions on a baby Glock. For me, and for others (e.g. Hickok45), even on large guns the grip pressure is import for the two fingers but not so much for the third. Moreover, when you have the grip extension, you might as well be carrying a Glock 19, especially since the part that prints, contrary to popular belief, is the front of the grip, not the rear, when the gun is canted in a holster. So if my clothing permits a pinky extension, more times than not it will allow my G19 and the weight difference is not a factor with a good belt and holster. That said, I carry my Glock 26 most of the time because it carries better than any of the double stacks in its flush magazine configuration. That's me, everyone is different I suppose.

[@TheTsigane]

I got a Gen4 G27 recently and really like it (it's not my first Glock). It can be converted back to 9mm if I want, but I shot it the other day and it's very controllable, even rapid-firing it one-handed. I haven't bothered to get the grip extension and don't miss it, but I did add the Talon rubber grip covering and Snake Eyes sights. I'm partial to compact revolvers for a few reasons, but the baby Glock is great.

[@MarylandRefugee2014]

+TheTsigane the caliber isn't what's important, it's the magazine compatibility. I'm not a 40s&w guy, if you get a sub compact Glock in any of the calibers the mags are interchangeable, that with the reliability is what makes it in the conversation for "best ever" IMO :).

[@ivanpadilla9875]

[@roanokejoe]

Hey there. Great video! What do you think about this pistol for carrying on a long distance bicycle trip?

[@joseCalderon1976]

Rookie here! After shooting my generation 4 G26 for the first time, I really like it. It's very controllable for such a small gun. The only hiccup that I had was that it didn't cycle my hornity critical defense hollow points (100g lite and 115g). My friend has a G19 (and so do I). Also the G43 failed with this ammo (all 4 guns are brand new and generation 4). We did shoot about 100 FMJ of all kinds with no issues through them. I picked up 147G hollow points now (recommended by other Glock owners) and was told that these guns need to be shot some more before they can cycle anything? I thought that was not an issue with Glocks, but I guess it depends on individual guns. My friend is an experienced shooter, so I don't think that he was limp writing his guns. Any tips with this issue? I already cleaned and inspected my G26, G19 and loaded the 147G hollow points and I'm ready to test again at the range. Thanks.

[@scottm5972]

It sacrifices a rail, but doesn't have the signature UGLY blocky slide on the muzzle end and it's nicely milled/rounded. My guess is that because it's primarily for concealment, the tapered muzzle slips into soft IWB holsters more easily after they collapse.

[@MarylandRefugee2014]

+Scott M very true, and I actually really prefer the rounded muzzle. I love the designs of the HK P30 muzzle..

[@scottm5972]

MarylandRefugee Roger that 👍 I also like how it had the dual recoil spring from the start as opposed to the rest who only got on board with the gen 4. (why did they wait?) It might be double the money to swap out.. but what's that, a lunch at McDonalds? lol They're so simple and intuitive it makes me laugh how smart they actually are, and what finally sold me was when I saw Hickok45 nail a gong repeatedly at 230yds, firing off hand (with a G27 though, but close enough). The ultimate piece for the go-bag ;) PS. I tried those Pearce pinky extensions, but the non +1 in your upload was a little loose and made my magazine go "boing!" like an upside down jack in the box at the range as 10 rounds, a spring, floor plate and extension exploded out the bottom and literally made me jump lol. A couple of bucks and well worth the laugh we had 😂 Then I tried the +1 version that actually looks factory with the knobby texture for the finger groove. Nice and tight!

[@roberthardenglens9429]

my glock are wop glocks wher dago lgo

[@raythompson5087]

Still one of my favorites. I have the 26, 43, 19, 17, 22, 23 and the 35. I think the 26 shoots far better than it's small size would suggest. I think that the majority of the gun being basically in your hand really reduces muzzle flip (not that the 9mm is a beast) but I think the small size has a real effect on recoil management. Cheers!

[@sSKiiTZzo]

Thank you! The sights are fine. I have no issue with them either.

Hands down I love my G26. Almost went with a 27 for the ability to convert to 9mm or 357 sig, but went with the 26 for the 10 and 12 round capacity. Never prints, can run full size mags(unlike the 43) I neglect my 19 as a carry now

[@canopener1195]

I love my G19, but have been considering a 26 lately. I haven't run a 26 yet, but they should be basically the same gun with some differences in dimensions.

I hit the like button after the reading the title. I changed my daily carry gun more times than I like to admit before I traded a stupid subcompact 1911 that will remain nameless for a gen 4 G26 with night sights. People who honestly carry every minute of every day know why Glock is so popular. If you hear a revolver guy claiming reliability superiority, he has never done any serious training. If you shoot revolvers, you know short strokes happen when shooting rapid fire. You can't short stroke a striker fire. For defensive carry for civilians, G26 is hand down the best. Every citizen should be issued one.

[@MarylandRefugee2014]

+Remember Rhodesia I carried a rock island 1911 compact for awhile. Great firearm, too heavy for my tastes. With the possibility of a 17rd subcompact with unparalleled reliability... A G26 will almost certainly never be topped as the Michael Jordan of ccw.

Great video I carry a 19 off duty but I'm thinking about getting a 26...... Where do you go shoot?

[@MarylandRefugee2014]

+Michael Gaffney Glock 19 is my winter carry gun, I just put the 26 at the top because of its versatility to go from sub compact to full size mags. That to me changes the game in the sense of being able to fill so many rolls :).

[@grady7443]

Anytime I ever sold a Glock I had, I was always sorry and always came back to Glock. I've had the 26, 27, 33, 19, and 32. Loved them all. Will be getting a gen5 26 soon. I will carry it in a Aegis Armory sheath or guardian. Trigger guard always covered. Why? Because Glock-leg is real. Ran into a kid about a year ago that shot himself in the leg. I couldn't help but notice, because he had on cargo shorts. Really looked nasty.

[@c0sm0naut]

Great video man 👍🏼

[@rawkemsawkem3328]

The best bang for your buck. Review complete.

[@mr.slugger9097]

hey bro quick question not hating but just wondering you using that right index finger as a support in front of the trigger guard does that help with accuracy? do you feel better shooting it that way or that's just something like muscle memory what you been using or practicing with

[@menitojr6066]

I have a g19 and was debating on getting a 26 for concealed carry just a question but if your adding a extension on the 26 y not just get a 19 since it basically makes the grip the same size?

[@menitojr6066]

avg.citizen gotcha thanks man! Yea winter i carry at my 5 or 6 summer i carry appendix.

[@barrerafrank]

Added pearce mag extensions today, to my 26, plus zero, as I am in the Country of California, where plus 1 or more, are banned, and I can barely tell the difference myself, from my 19...

[@twotwentyswift]

You can always make the grip on the 26 bigger with larger magazines but you can't make the 19 smaller. The 26 is far more adaptable and concealable.

[@latorgator23]

I have a gen 4 G19. I want a G26. I'm looking at the gen 3 because I like the smoother texturing on the sides of the grip for comfort of carry. Do you have a gen 3/4 preference?

[@MarylandRefugee2014]

+latorgator23 yea, I prefer a gen4 personally. Although both have the "double recoil" spring, I like the gripiness of the gen4. With the 26 it really only boils down to looks. Their the same in almost every other way :).

[@saltcreekammo]

the best Glock handgun is anything in .40 cal for the fact that you can shoot 4 different calibers through it (9mm, .40, .357 Sig, 22lr) with conversion barrels

[@MarylandRefugee2014]

+Keith Gee hmm, yes... But then you'd have to factor in cost for all of that. I think as is, with the ability to use 4 different capacity magazines, the 26 is the way to go :).

[@roberthardenglens9429]

One of the best.

[@sweetytrap7386]

je suis le 900 ème like 😇

[@averagejoe448]

Just a tad more involved then swapping out barrels.

[@edluvuhrc1749]

Keith Gee modularity is nice but why do you need anything more then 9mm ?

[@ksrwhlm]

Any interest in steel plates for your range tests? I have a few I've never used that need a home.

[@MarylandRefugee2014]

+ksrwhlm steel plates? What kind..

[@ksrwhlm]

5 and 8 inch AR500 steel targets

[@MarylandRefugee2014]

+ksrwhlm send me an email. [e-mail]

[@AlanTrades]

Do you like the stock sights

[@luckyc3920]

i own3 different glocks love these guns. 26 with the 17 mag feels full size with the xgrip.

[@ojomnesir9182]

I love my 26! Goes with me everywhere

[@geoffreypauers9019]

did that wolf ammo jam it or any other ammo jams?.. Hows it with fed hst ammo?

[@MarylandRefugee2014]

+Geoffrey Pauers Glocks eat everything. I have yet to find an ammo besides aluminum cased that even allows for a hiccup.

[@SammerJammer]

What an odd grip, do you hold just smaller handguns like that or everything like that?

[@MarylandRefugee2014]

+SammerJammer haha, I have bad shooting posture in general. Just do what I can to improve as I find mistakes :).

[@dudepetri]

Great work on the video. At work I wear the ballistic vest and the gear, so when I am off, I am not a big fan of a bunch of stuff on my belt. I carry the G26 with factory night sights IWB with the flush 10rd magazine. I prefer the 10rd magazine as it is shorter, and conceals the gun better. I do carry one spare magazine, usually a 17rd with a +2 extention in my left front pocket in an internal vertical carrier that is far better feeling than a belt mounted magazine. I think that having a spare magazine is important, for function from malfunction if nothing else. I have large hands but I have no issue with the pinky dangling under the grip. You get used to it. I personally don't care for the Pearce grip extension. I don't care for how it feels. I don't think it really gains me anything. If I was going to carry with an extension I would add a +2 Glock mag extension and benefit from the extra rounds while extending the grip, but for me that defeats the sweet spot that the G26 fills. If I wanted to have a longer grip, I would just switch to the G19 and gain in barrel legnth and sight radius. I have the G19 too, as everyone should, and I carry it from time to time along with the 17+2 reload, which makes it pretty easy, but I really find the G26 my true companion side arm in everyday life. Mine is a Gen 3. I find that my affections lie with her. Regards.

[@MarylandRefugee2014]

+dudepetri pretty solid carry. I chose the Pearce because the pinky extension doesn't print as much as an extended magazine, but also allows for a better grip. So it's like right in the middle of a g19 and a g26.

[@cameronizatt7176]

The video says that you don’t carry a spare magazine. What do you do if you have a magazine malfunction?

[@mikehawk4856]

If I could only own one handgun this would be it

[@actl786]

hi I'm in MD too, where is this outdoor range located?

[@chaseww]

The Glock 26 is the most probably up there with number one Dependable reliable survival best handgun to carry all the time. The Glock 26 Will Never Let You Down and will always go bang and is easy to handle and just an all-around 110% firearm. It shoots anything you put into it and if you need it in a life-and-death situation that will always be there for you

[@justinprather8846]

I love my g26.

[@MarylandRefugee2014]

+Justin Prather me too :p

[@kauxkaux]

I am new to firearms... I have a beretta 92 compact. And while it is awesome, I need something smaller and lighter. The short grip makes me worry a little bit about handling and shooting control... what is your opinion on this?

[@MarylandRefugee2014]

+kauxkaux well there are a lot of options for "smaller & lighter", but if your biggest concern is short grip, they have pinky extensions for most of them. The Glock 26 is definitely high on my list of choices though.

[@jasondigginva7564]

I like the Mag extension idea, have to pick some up

[@roberthardenglens9429]

+Terry Dean. glock 19mag works better.

[@infidel66687]

Glock 19 mag with a x grip sleeve is what I cary in jacket and coat weather.

[@daveg8480]

I've had a few FTE's with Tula MAXX Tech (or whatever it's called)....it's the cheapest brass ammo I've ever been able to find and for target practice I'm ok with that. If anything it's a good random malfunction drill to make sure you remember how to work through that!!! Otherwise never had an issue with reliabillity.

[@Cross_Hat]

great review buddy. Great ccw

[@AlanTrades]

Why didn't you get the pierce with the +3?

[@fpav4264]

I know that the M&P compact can take the full size M&P mags. I have the 40c and have the 9mm conversion barrel with 12,15, 17 and 32 rd. mags. for it.

[@MarylandRefugee2014]

+fpav good info! Didn't know that, thanks :).

[@roberthardenglens9429]

for free use bike tube around handle

[@TheBoxingCannabyte]

Currently carrying a Canick TP-9 SF over my Glock 19, thinking of making it my night stand gun and getting one of these, seriously seriously considering it, even though i'd take a gen 3 if i saw one for the right price (Got my 19 gen3 for $380 barely used not bad eh?)

[@AlanTrades]

Have you had issues with it jamming with the glock 17 mag

[@Jtrich87]

MarylandRefugee is that a regular pierce grip or xl

[@chasmack3567]

Nice video...would have liked to see the results of shooting at the targets.

[@MarylandRefugee2014]

+Chas Mack I'll work on that :).

[@geoffreypauers9019]

do the sig 226 32 rd mags work in the glock? or does glock have a 30 rder for that gun/ The seventeens look good also and then you dont need the finger grips. Thanks

[@MarylandRefugee2014]

+Geoffrey Pauers no, sig mags do not work in Glocks. Yes, sig has a 33rd mag that works in the 26, 19, and the 17.

[@strammel]

just curious why you are putting one of your fingers on the outside of the trigger guard.

[@MarylandRefugee2014]

+shane trammel safety. You don't put your finger on the trigger till you're ready to shoot. One of the first rules of shooting :).

[@strammel]

I'm talking about your right finger that you are placing and keeping on the outside front of the trigger guard as you shoot.

[@MarylandRefugee2014]

+shane trammel ah, well some people shoot with the grip facing downward for a more secure feel. It's more comfortable for me to have a finger there for support and doesn't effect my accuracy much.

[@uncleben8895]

You should really buy a left handed gun if you are going to shoot it with the wrong hand. :D You should get one of these 31 round stick mags if you have all that ammo. Can't wait to try mine out. They are on clearance on midwayusa for like 25 bucks I think. And they are glock branded! Also they make a molded grip you can add to your longer mag (15 round I think it is) and you will like that longer grip even better. Mine is xgrip, but a bunch of companies sell em for less than 10 bucks.
