I like your site choice 👍

G26 Gen 4 with a Trijicon SRO (slide cut by ATEi milling). No malfunctions ever. Love it!

[@KudoYoung]

Planning to retire my 43 for a 26.

[@513KillSwitch]

The 26 has quickly become my favorite model to carry. Especially appendix. The difference between a 17 or 19 is considerable. I recently picked up a Gen 4 26 and I'll never get rid of it. Extremely accurate and it's just a great concealable gun you can always rely on.

[@RichTran365]

I carry the same gen 4 26 everyday, 10 rd mag for work. 15 rd mag when I'm out and about.

[@billyb3185]

Great video, you did an outstanding job showing the differences between a Glock 43, 19 & 17 model 9mm. You answered all the questions that someone would have on those Glock pistols. I carry the model 43 most of the time with a spare 8 round extended mag, but now I will consider switching to the 26 for more capacity options~ thank you.

[@DCCHANNELGUNS]

Great Video!!!!

[@atlas9.0]

G26 for me is the perfect CCW. Ive tried a lot but nothing fits and works better for me 👍

[@johngrunwell2412]

I’m with you. My first was the G42 and the main reason is when you down size the weight of the gun, metal mass, makes a difference in repeatability in follow ups. 9mm shot itself, not recoil, was far too large in the G43. I purchased the G26 Gen4 and has become my Go To EDC. Over time I realized a 3-finger grip is over blown esp. with the Glock grip angle (21 deg) and grip swell of the G26 as the grip pressure in my palm was perfect. Glock is truly a point-finger and shoot platform as the grip angle positions your wrist perfectly for a lockup to the forearm control. I later purchased a G19 Gen4 and I continue with a two finger grip as I found my little finger caused me the shoot a little to the left as a RT hand shooter. Again, the grip angle was the key with the Glocks, as I would point at a target with my point-finger, that is how the Glock sits and sights in my grip. Rapid acquisition is natural and the recoil is straight-back and not over the top, as with an 18 deg angle on the grip (need for 3 finger grip). So, G26 is my EDC, but when a down size is needed it’s my G42 (Gen 5). My G19 is my Home defense. As I have long fingers, I put the middle back straps on with beaver tail on both of my G26 & G19 to give me the Gen3 girth in the grip and beaver tail keeps me off a too high of a grip and on the draw, they fit like a glove off-hand, Love the finger grooves. Installed 3lb connectors in both, NO CREEP, and the lighter Striker-block and spring. In my G42 installed the 3.5lb connector, which is a Gen 5 trigger. Installed the TFX-PRO sights on all, love the “U” shape rear sight. Just to say that you can make your GLOCK your platform, without a Gunsmith. Good video, and those are my thoughts.

[@Motorcyclewindtherapy]

G 26 with G17 backup mag has been my edc way over a decade. I own a 42,43, and 19... the 26 is the best of all worlds. Its actually smaller than the 43 and the 42 is just prone to being a little iffy. Never, ever have a had a problem with my 26.

[@squib3083]

This channel is really solid I hope you guys keep up the great work!

[@Fight4freedom.]

The G26 it’s one of my favorite EDC! Top it off with XS Big Dots and your good. Better recoil control than the 43X or P365. Those kick more. In my opinion to small is not always good. If I have to carry such a small frame gun like the 43X or the P365 I would step it down to a .380. Or carry a small beefier 9mm like my G26 or my walther PPSM2.

[@johnnyroastbeef3048]

Good solid review on that EDC carry. I use a g43 myself with a + 2 TTI mag. I also change the sights, as I saw you did. HD Trijicon. Why do people like to change the Trigger action. I left mine stock. Like you, I probably put three to four thousand rounds through it, and I've been carrying it for about 3 or 4 years now. Thanks again for a great review.

[@productofthe80s]

That first shot from a fresh mag after you finished a mag sounds just like a gunshot effect used 80's tv shows & movies 😂😂😂

[@ethannaler4121]

Glock 26 is my eternal favorite EDC. And I carry a G17 backup mag, quite a formidable load. You see, when considering how much more convenient it is than the 19 not only do we take into account length and height but overall weight. With the slide being about a half inch longer as well as the grip its much more comfortable carrying the 26. Take into account that weight plus the weight of 5 more rounds also means it's a good bit lighter, further adding to the comfort factor. For me it's the perfect carry, not too small, not too big. And 11 rounds out the gate gives you plenty of firepower.

[@Thesusoperator]

i have mostly 9s. P365XL, Shield plus, G43X MOS, and the G26 is the easiest to conceal next to the shield.

[@Rundu1987]

I used to carry a heavy cz75. The G26 is so comfortable I sometimes forget that its there.

[@apologist3574]

can use an XGRIP slip on for a G19 mag and makes the G26 feel like a G19 with a shorter slide (G26 slide).

[@bdm1000]

Did you ever get a Gen5? I sold mine. I'm going back to my Gen4. I even shoot both left and right handed (I carry the G26 left-handed), because I miss the finger grooves and I do not like the new slide stops that protrude. I thought I would, that's why I changed, but the get in the way of my thumbs.

[@citic101]

THE NOISE BOUNCHING OFF THOSE WALLS ! wow , my advice is to wear DOUBLE ear protection

[@kylewood8327]

Glocks do run nice and shoot great, can’t argue with that. Just to darn small. Not a fan of the hellcat or P365 either. But the P320sc works great in appendix for me.

[@marypittman4908]

great video have do a video on the glock 26 vs sig p365

[@ckim6400]

@mary pittman P 365 wins, easier to carry, more pleasant to shoot than the G 26, factory night sights and it will fit smaller hands like a glove.

[@colbucky]

mary pittman I really like my G-26 gen5, but my new Sig 365 is very accurate,reliable 700 rounds so far, and comfortable to carry.

[@stanleyhowe4320]

haha no matter the size of the handle I shoot with my pinky off... when I put my pinky on the gun and run it hard all I see are the rear sites and the front ones are going down when I take my pinky off the grip I can run the gun fast and still see my front sight and rear sights and get accurate shots lol I don't use my pinky for much anyway I think that's the least important finger on your hand....

[@apologist3574]

I noticed that you are left handed. Have you considered the G26 Gen 5 ? Has a duel slide release. Just curious.

[@IWBVS]

Appendix ccw holders, which holster do you like to use? I can't seem to use kydex because it cuts into my skin

[@itzxsblast]

Use leather holster with a soft padded back

[@PewLand]

G code incog is really good

[@aarontyler9569]

It might be time for a new recoil spring

[@rondetorres3842]

I've own my G26 for a few years now and decided to finally purchase a G19. To be honest, the G19 has no real "purpose" for me, I would have been better off buying G17 instead. I have more fun shooting my G26 and G34 than I do the G19.

[@betoaz602]

Im curious on why you think the g17 would have been the better option then the 19? 🤔

[@MrChris-so6lg]

I recently got a Glock 26.5 but was thinking about trading it for the Gen 4. I like the Gen 5 but I prefer the finger grooves honestly. It’s a tough call. Great video. Any insight would be appreciated

[@GunsStuff]

I would just hold the Gen 5. Shoot it enough and you will get used to it not having finger grooves.

[@MrChris-so6lg]

@@GunsStuff sounds like a plan. Thank you. Also do you have any preferred pinky extensions you’d recommend? I was looking into the Pearce extension

[@GunsStuff]

@@MrChris-so6lg I have used the Glock 12 round magazines for my G26 for years. They work great. I’m not a big fan of aftermarket extensions for Glocks. But obviously your mileage may vary.

[@MrChris-so6lg]

@@GunsStuff I’ve never used any aftermarket extensions on the few glocks I have (Glock 40 and Glock 19) this 26 will be the first one. But I am thinking about ordering the stock OEM plus too extension from Glock. I may just order the 12 round magazine so I don’t have to fight putting it on lol

[@victorinoxalox9821]

How do you like the G26 compared to the G43X and G48?

[@GunsStuff]

The fact that the G26 can take any Glock double stack 9mm magazine will always be a huge bonus. The G26 is shorter (in the grip) than the 43X and 48, BUT it is thicker than those pistols. I have been carrying a g43x with the S15 magazines since May. The 43x and 48 paired with the s15 magazines totally makes it not even an argument. The issue is those magazines are pricey and very hard to get.

[@maxmccain8950]

I’ve found these little guns feed everything. When the slide is all the way back the barrel is raised at an angle that presents the next round towards the top part of the feed ramp. My 26’s have never had a malfunction of any kind. I can’t say that about my other Glocks.

[@loui9102]

🙏

[@JohnWick-pr3rc]

Get yourself a sig p365 👍

[@LambosOnly]

What holster do you use and are you carrying it appendix?

[@LambosOnly]

@@GunsStuff Do you use one of those wedges?

[@alwomble5738]

Guns & Stuff I gravitated towards appendix carry because it’s easy to conceal. Also, it’s easier to draw when sitting.

[@rawtoon2000]

Is the G26 worth it if I have a G19?

[@yeshua1176]

Definitely agree added concealabilty with less print with the added option of being able to carry a couple 15 round g19 mags as your spares

[@jimflauntt683]

Dropping codes

[@yeshua1176]

What is your opinion on the magpul mags as I've just bought a few but haven't tested yet for my g26 I've heard very mixed reviews but most having issues are using steel cased ammo? I don't stock pile steel for my sidearm as cheap as brass case ammo is atm

[@yeshua1176]

@@GunsStuff the mag loader that came with my 26 greatly aids in loading both types of mags with minimal effort never had that issue but thank you for the reliability report👍

[@sleddingfarmer8692]

The Magpul 12 rounders have been working great for me.

[@ckim6400]

1.) Buy Glock magazine's 2.) Carry Glock 19 magazines w/Pachmayr 26 to 19 magazine sleeves. 3.) My Glock 26 fails more an any pistol I own, I'll carry my P 365. it's been flawless and easier to carry.

[@ckim6400]

@Bo Zo What are you trying to say? I'm limp wristing-LOL- Recoil spring and guide rod bad right out of the box.
