I'm 61 years old. I've owned countless pistols. My Glock 26 Gen 4 simply does everything I need it to do. No bells and whistles. It goes BANG every time. Thank you to those who manufactured my GLOCK 26.
if you want to carry it hiding in plain sight, buy a mole pouch about $4 on ebay. the one with 2 zippers. you can carry a cellphone on the outer pocket and a g26 on the inner one. NOBODY even notices it. just one advice. have the belt straps reinforced by shoe repair stitching. they come in different colors. buy 2 or more. they are really inexpensive and get dirty after a couple of years of use. just throw away and use a new one.
Sorry for my english, fellow american people, I'm french, and I'm a shooter in a club, and self defense trained (got a first aid training also), here in France we have absolutely no right to carry a gun (as a civilian), but criminality is getting higher year after year, so women are sometimes raped, mugged, hit without any serious mean to defend themselves. When I see such a video, I think to myself "oh my god, this wouldn't happen if people could have something efficient to defend themselves against an attack", personnaly, I could do pretty much nothing (let's be realist and honest) if a terrorist knife attack/shooting (for exemple) happens in the street in front of me. No need for an AR 15 or a machine gun, just a single compact pistol for one person would make the job. A few days ago 5 people were killed in an attack on a Christmas market, in Strasbourg (Eastern France) by an islamist. Many dramatic stories wouldn't have happened, if the victims have had a gun. In some places in big cities (like in some suburbs around Paris), criminals make the law, and where I live, it takes between 20 to 30 minutes for police to come (rural area) when you call for help. I do advocate civilian concealed carry in France because of all that, we are more and more here... hope it will change one day :-(((
It is the real interest of the legal gun carry : having the option to protect oneself, the mindset and hability to do so if needed, concealed carry is a crime deterrent.
jérôme Lacambrousse AR-15s and other military style weapons are more effective for killing criminals. I carry a pistol in public to defend myself because I can easily conceal it. It’s like it’s not there to the rest of the world until you need it. My defensive and protective mindset doesn’t stop when I get home. That’s where the military style weapons come into play. I’d much rather have a high capacity, full power rifle to protect my home and family from an intruder in the middle of the night, than a concealed carry pistol. This is especially a reality if you live in a rural area where you may have 2 or 4 legged offenders that need to be dealt with and backup or emergency services is over 30 minutes away. In our country we have a God given right to defend ourselves and our property, and guns are the ultimate equalizer.
Jerome, just because we have guns and can carry guns doesn't make us victimless, it does create a sense of security. With so many legally armed American's, murder, rape, etc still happen. A few days ago, a disgruntled employee shot and killed 12 coworkers and had a long battle with the police. With that said, going armed atleast gives you a fighting chance........ if you're willing to use the weapon.
@@ssgslaughter4639 Everyone has the same rights, as they were given by God. Some governments have chosen to infringe on those rights. It is happening here too.
Before I retired from law enforcement, the G26 was my back-up gun and off duty gun. It is now my concealed carry gun and primary home defense gun. Amazingly durable, reliable, and accurate. Great choice.
I love my G26 but there are way better options for a primary home defense gun. If all I can grab is my G26, then yeah it would work fine for home defense. Its much better suited for conceal carry though or as a car backup. Id much rather use a suppressed PCC, a G20 or G19x for home defense. Suppressed pistol caliber carbine would be the ideal choice (or even a 300blk suppressed with subs)
I own many guns and through 10 years in the Army and a career following in law enforcement, when I go out the door, it’s a Glock 26 that I take with me!
I've had a Glock 19 since the late 80s, The G26 came out in 1995 that's been almost 25 years now.. The G26 is one of if not the best pistol on the planet, I've had Hks, SIG, Beretta, Ruger, Colt, S&W etc. & still find that I like Glocks the best for reliability & magazine adaptability..
I've been saying it for YEARS that the G26 is THE BEST all round EDC pistol. With it's magazine options, it's just a No-Brainer. After thousands of rounds, not one single hiccup, ever. Love it.
The hen 5 26 is the only handgun I love till this day. Always end up going back to it for edc. Just feels perfect in the hand and can’t beat the features
Great review! I have to disagree with one point that everyone makes. The standard Glock sights are FINE/ GOOD!!! Now if you want night sites, like I did, you can buy many after market sights as well as a multitude of other aftermarket parts (like you said) . But out of the box this gun is awesome!
Absolutely love my G26. I owned a Glock in every other size but the sub-compact & I only bought my first G26 just to be able to say I had every size Glock. However, it quickly grew on me & now it's my favorite carry gun and second favorite overall behind the G17
I carry a G26 gen 4 with 11 rounds using a MIC holster (AIWB) and an extra G17 mag in a Glock mag holder on my Aegis Enhanced belt. I use Federal HSTs, 124 gr. I also carry an MK-2 size can of Sabre pepper gel as my less-than-lethal force multiplier. I carry this way every day, all-year-round. Feels real good.
Very good video. Thanks! I carry my G26 in my front pocket in an Alabama pocket holster all-year-round. I love how I can be anywhere whilst sticking my hand in my pocket and having a full grip on my g26 and nobody even knows. And I like having the gun right in front of me where I can defend it best, as opposed to carrying it at the 3, 4, 5, or 6 o’clock position. Most people think the g26 is too thick and heavy for pocket carry but it’s not. You get used to it right away. Printing is minimal with the Alabama holster and with wearing the right shorts or pants. The Alabama pocket holster, which is made of Kydex, keeps the trigger completely and securely covered, so it’s a very safe way to pocket carry. And once you realize the advantage of not being noticed as you have your hand gripping your gun ready to draw you will be convinced that this is the most effective way to carry. I would not recommend carrying a single stack or any caliber smaller than a 9mm. I also carry an extra g19 mag on my belt and a can of Sabre pepper gel in my other pocket. Should I ever need to use less-than-lethal force, I have that option of pepper gel and I can keep my distance from the attacker by using the pepper gel.
What type of jeans do you wear for it to not print!? Mines shows every time I try to pocket carry it. I mostly wear slim cut European type designer jeans. You must wear Dad jeans for it not to show? 🤔
Don’t like pepper jel as you need to be real accurate. If your spraying it that far of a distance that you need to spray, it will be arguable if the aggressor presented a certain danger.
I agree with you 100% except my favorite Glock is the G 26, third generation! I did replace my sights and I removed those finger grooves and just added some stippling rather than the Talon grips. I do use the Talon grips on my G 43 and think they are great!
I’m 58-years-old, 5’7”, 168lbs., and I carry my G26 (Gen 4) AIWB in a MIC holster with the 10-round mag. After trying numerous holsters and positions to carry, I found this method and holster to be what works best and is safest for me. The only modification I made was to have the slide milled for an RMR (the eyes are not what they used to be). Regardless of how you carry, if it’s a G26 you can’t go wrong.
I'm 30 and same height and size as you Zacki. I just upgraded to the Gen 5 but I use the Sticky Holster brand with custom belt clip I ordered through the company and I love it! It's my EDC
Like the Gen 5 with the finger grooves gone and the trigger reach is slightly shorter. Agree though - 26 is all you need. Carry with the 10 and plug the 17 in for night stand duty.
Great review! I’m carrying an M&P Shield as my EDC now, but considering picking up a Glock 26, since I already own a Glock 17’and can use all of the standard mags etc.
I was looking at the Gen5 G26 today and man it show feel good to the hand, I bought a Sig P365 that I'm regretting getting I had to send it in twice for a dead trigger, when I get it again I will try to keep it but if it goes belly up I will be getting rid of it and getting the G26. I guess that you are having pretty good luck with your P365, it is getting to the point that I'm starting to get gun shy., crazy.
Wow your gun looks pretty much exactly as mine looking good haha. First off thank you for your service you are a new channel. I follow all the big gun TH-cam channels but you strike me as a very honest and likeable guy with great reasoning behind your set up and am looking forward to seeing more vids. I just got a gen 5 Glock 26 since I am a lefty and preferred ambidextrous slide stop. Do me a favor do a review on that holster I’m interested in a new holster for my new gun and those sweet Xgrips they look neat and would use it for home defense or for my backup mag great video and I subscribed 👍🤝.
Jay Wolf Man awesome man! I will do a review on the alien gear shapeshift soon. Thank you so much for letting me know what you think. I really appreciate the support. Do you like the GEN 5? Have you had older versions?
Jay Beckerich had a gen 3 Glock 26 trigger feel more crisp and less of a wall before you fire a round and the new coating is different. The way it shoots feels like a Glock and shoots like one. I would sell my gen 3 and buy a gen 5 again. The gap between gen 4 and gen 5 though isn’t far off unless you’re a lefty or want orange mag followers. There’s more but to each his own.
nutnfancy also served in the military.... and he puts JB weld on a knife and calls it a "mod". we thank nutnfancy for his service regardless of how irrelevant it is in the real world of shooting.
Great video. I have 16 guns that I would consider ccw guns and I carry my G26 about 90% of the time. It's definitely not as easy to carry as smaller guns like the Hellcat or 365 but I personally shoot the G26 so much better than smaller guns.
The G26 seems to be the best shooting sub-compact for sure. It is very controllable for how small it is. I think this is due to the wide grip and increased weight over other sub-compacts. I shoot the G26 way better than the G43 or G48. There is a less snap with the G26 and it doesnt have much more recoil than a G19 or G19x. When comparing to the P365 or the Hellcat, the G26 is wider and has 2-4 more ounces of weight for recoil mitigation (depending on if its loaded or not, so the last bullet in the mag will have slightly more recoil), plus having lots of mag options. The P365xl on the other hand is the same weight as the G26 when loaded, so has the same recoil energy. Most of my experience is with Glocks and thats what I stick with for many reasons, such as the double stack frame allowing for a good grip, they are reliable, and allow for magazine interchangeability with each other and my PCC
Thanks and appreciate your review. Here is a little secret. Always" buy the 40 caliber version of the Glock then buy the match grade conversion barrel in 9mm and you have two guns!! I have a Glock 27 i use for off duty carry and when I want to save on money at the range I slap in my conversion barrel and also the 9mm rounds fit and function well in the 40sw magazines!! just a tip....thanks again!
Well, unfortunately I bought a Glock 21, Glock 30, Glock 23, Glock 26, Glock 42, and a Glock43 (among many, many other brands). I wanted to save on money at the range & in general life so (IMO) folks should do what I did: 1st choose one (1) caliber 2nd choose one (1) gun in that caliber 3rd practice, practice, & practice with that single pistol or revolver set-up I chose for CCW the Glock 43 over all others *even my beloved Glock 26* due to: - ease of carry - better concealment - great accuracy!! - great reliability (after I found the ammo it liked) This is the same wisdom of the "Fear the man with only one gun" ideology. Think about this & stay frosty. Note: for the home defense role I use a 12 gauge shotgun. works on bear & humans.
Great review man. I was carrying a Glock 43 for a few years but couldn't resist a used Gen 5 Glock 26 for $456 at my local gun store. Not bad at all considering the current inflated prices. It's been a few weeks and I haven't shot it yet, but the extra thickness just fits my hands so much better. The Glock 26 isn't as slim as the 43, but it's still a tiny pistol. I don't even own a larger double stack Glock, but the mags and grip sleeve for the Glock 19 and Glock 17 mags are pretty affordable and compatible with my Glock 26.
My Glock 26 Gen3 is my workhorse ! I have fired more than 5000 thousand rounds without any malfunctions. Its my EDC and its also used in IDPA matches. The only other Glock I some times carry is My Gen2 Glock 19.
I shoot the 26 like a full size. Added a striker decocker gadget, defoor combat metal sights, some stipple, a trigger cut so I don't get as much Glock knuckle, and G17 trimmed down Hogue grip, and beavertail. For a small gun I shoot this amazingly well. Micro 9's are too thin.
Old comment, but just want to say that there are folks who have made grandmaster in USPSA with a Glock 26. It's definitely competition-worthy in the right division.
Love my Glock 26. Give you the best of every world. Super small and concealable, but you can still use any capacity glock 9mm magazines. You can’t make a large gun smaller, but you can make a smaller gun larger if you want.
I have the 4th gen 26 in battlefield green. Dude I agree with everything you said. It's my favorite glock. I have huge hands so I have the medium beavertail on mine but its nuts on accurate and has been flawless. recently picked mine up for like 400 from a friend. Absolutely love it great vid!
yup Im thinking of getting the 26 gen 5 just for the reason that Any glock 19 style mag fits it all the way up to the 33 round not that I need a 33 round I would probably get the stock glock 19 mags for my spares they are plenty big for soup can plinking
Where do you live, Fallujah? You're probably too tightly wound there, Skippy. Don't worry, the ninjas aren't coming for you. Just relax and enjoy life. And stop watching John Wick.
Same but i got a 45 which is just a gen 5 19x thats black not tan the 26 is the edc pry the best and easiest to use gun of its size and the 19x/45 is the gun id use if shit hit the fan if the military uses em u know theyre good enough for the normal person my goal tho is to one day have every size glock 9mm they make idc about the gen ive shot every gen but the 1st all are great the main difference i usually notice is always the triggers and if it has the finger groves or not i prefer em without bc its faster to just grab and shoot fast u dont gotta get ur fingers into position even tho the groves are comfy imo just not the best or something id want if my life was on the line id want my 45 for sure just bc you got that max capacity and room for better purchase on the grip and a more compact barrel and slide thats not snappy at all but thats the good about the 26 its 9mm so its super controllable unlike the .40 cal and imo i like 9 better its faster yea .40 is bigger but statistically they kill with the same number of rounds almost always and u get more rounds for cheaper in a 9 with less recoil which means better accuracy follow up shots and theyre still dead especially with todays technology 9 and 40 are a lot closer now than 30 years ago when everyone carried 40,45 or 357 now most people carry 9 and 40 from what ive seen
Couldn't agree more, I searched for a while.. and ended up at the same conclusion, The 26 is the Jack of all Trades there are few that come close and with its ability to also throw the 17 rd clip in it quickly becomes a full grip combat capacity pistol. Not as great at range as say a 17 or 34 but it can be extremely accurate at distance in the proper hands. Great review certainly glad I came to the same conclusion +Jay Becerich
We’re about the same size. No wonder I like the 26 so much. Sold my 19 and got a 26, if the 26 had a rail option this would be the perfect gun. I only like the rails for aesthetics really. How does a 43x/48 feel and shoot for you?
The 26 is the only gun you need. I carry my every day and when it is time to retire in the evening the 17 round goes in on the nightstand. I shoot this better than the 19 - I believe it is the hump on the 19 for me. This gun just plain runs.
I have both. And quite simply, the FNS-9c is a much better weapon out of the box. SIghts, ergo and standard capacity magazine, and non-altered stippling are better. Plus you can pick up a new one for $499 plus tax...which is what I paid for mine. Shoots great. In other words one doesn't need to give it the spa treatment to get it to the next level. There is no denying that the G26 is a good-enough pistol. But it does not excel.
Matt K I disagree, all glock models excel in everything. If your inaccurate with it you need to practice more. But for carry and it boils down to opinion and what suits you best.
Chris Anyone, I said nothing about being inaccurate. That would be a shooter problem, not a gun problem. You absolutely did not address anything I typed about the ergonomics, standard capacity, sights, or stippling out of the box. Focus cupcake.
I am no glock fanboy by any means, by i traded my smith and wesson 357 for a gen 3 g26 and although i wanted to hate it. I changed out the sights talked alot of crap on it. But i hate to admit it, that gunbis super accurate in my hands. So in my opinion you cant go wrong with the g26.
Just picked one up... Ive owned a glock 17 for 5 yrs and carried it for a year now.. Thats over now.. Love my new 26.. Just for fun though what is that thing you put around the glock 17 mag to go on the 26?? I want one haha
I like traction grips better 12 dollars instead of 20 and it doesn't over lap in the front and it's same material, but only for glock go with talon on all other guns
Im thinking about purchasing a new g26 but im wondering what advantage it has over my ruger lcp gen1 i know its not dependability the ruger runs on any fuel no jams smaller yet its only 7 rounds id love to be able to put 33 down the barrel
I'm a big guy (6'3'' 220) so I can carry most any gun...I prefer the 26 cause I can pocket carry it with a spare mag & no one knows what I am carrying. My 26's just work, all the time, that's why I have two of them.
I’m 6’3 and 250. The glock 26 is a brick in your pocket. Ruger lcp ii is perfect...less than 1/2 the weight, way smaller, good trigger, and reliable. Oh, and it disappears in my pocket. Definitely fits the role of concealed carry better than chopped down service pistols!
Holster ? There’s one called Desantis ( for many the very best IWB holster ) that’s the one I use, magazine ? I use the extended one that only add 2 rounds, that gives me 12 plus 1 for a total of 13. That’s my combo.

I own a Glock 26 as well...among several others. I absolutely love it !!!!
Like the Gen 5 with the finger grooves gone and the trigger reach is slightly shorter. Agree though - 26 is all you need. Carry with the 10 and plug the 17 in for night stand duty.
ncbible15 Only downside is inability to put a light on it for bedside. All it needs is a small rail.
Eddie Rivera what the fuck you talking about 😂 you can put a light on a g26.........
How is the grip with the grooves removed? Considering getting trigger undercut and grooves removed and handle it elite grips
Great review! I’m carrying an M&P Shield as my EDC now, but considering picking up a Glock 26, since I already own a Glock 17’and can use all of the standard mags etc.
It’s been six months since you made this comment. Did you happen to get a G26? Just curious. It’s totally worth it if you haven’t. I love my baby.
I was looking at the Gen5 G26 today and man it show feel good to the hand, I bought a Sig P365 that I'm regretting getting I had to send it in twice for a dead trigger, when I get it again I will try to keep it but if it goes belly up I will be getting rid of it and getting the G26. I guess that you are having pretty good luck with your P365, it is getting to the point that I'm starting to get gun shy., crazy.
Wow your gun looks pretty much exactly as mine looking good haha. First off thank you for your service you are a new channel. I follow all the big gun TH-cam channels but you strike me as a very honest and likeable guy with great reasoning behind your set up and am looking forward to seeing more vids. I just got a gen 5 Glock 26 since I am a lefty and preferred ambidextrous slide stop. Do me a favor do a review on that holster I’m interested in a new holster for my new gun and those sweet Xgrips they look neat and would use it for home defense or for my backup mag great video and I subscribed 👍🤝.
Jay Wolf Man awesome man! I will do a review on the alien gear shapeshift soon. Thank you so much for letting me know what you think. I really appreciate the support. Do you like the GEN 5? Have you had older versions?
Jay Wolf Man also the xgrips are awesome man. They make them for the g19 and g17 mags.
Jay Beckerich had a gen 3 Glock 26 trigger feel more crisp and less of a wall before you fire a round and the new coating is different. The way it shoots feels like a Glock and shoots like one. I would sell my gen 3 and buy a gen 5 again. The gap between gen 4 and gen 5 though isn’t far off unless you’re a lefty or want orange mag followers. There’s more but to each his own.
nutnfancy also served in the military.... and he puts JB weld on a knife and calls it a "mod". we thank nutnfancy for his service regardless of how irrelevant it is in the real world of shooting.
Great video. I have 16 guns that I would consider ccw guns and I carry my G26 about 90% of the time. It's definitely not as easy to carry as smaller guns like the Hellcat or 365 but I personally shoot the G26 so much better than smaller guns.
The G26 seems to be the best shooting sub-compact for sure. It is very controllable for how small it is. I think this is due to the wide grip and increased weight over other sub-compacts. I shoot the G26 way better than the G43 or G48. There is a less snap with the G26 and it doesnt have much more recoil than a G19 or G19x. When comparing to the P365 or the Hellcat, the G26 is wider and has 2-4 more ounces of weight for recoil mitigation (depending on if its loaded or not, so the last bullet in the mag will have slightly more recoil), plus having lots of mag options. The P365xl on the other hand is the same weight as the G26 when loaded, so has the same recoil energy. Most of my experience is with Glocks and thats what I stick with for many reasons, such as the double stack frame allowing for a good grip, they are reliable, and allow for magazine interchangeability with each other and my PCC
I love Glocks. I just purchase a Glock 26 gen 4. I already owned a Glock 19 gen 4 and that’s the gun that made me fall in love.
I had to laugh when you said you ordered FDE and received green. I ordered a green G19 and received FDE. 🤷♂️ I love it just the same!
Damn good video sir, helped me decide on why I should really take a look at the Glock 26.
Glad it could help!
Thanks and appreciate your review. Here is a little secret. Always" buy the 40 caliber version of the Glock then buy the match grade conversion barrel in 9mm and you have two guns!! I have a Glock 27 i use for off duty carry and when I want to save on money at the range I slap in my conversion barrel and also the 9mm rounds fit and function well in the 40sw magazines!! just a tip....thanks again!
Very sensible, that's what I was thinking when I purchased my Glock 23.
Well, unfortunately I bought a Glock 21, Glock 30, Glock 23, Glock 26, Glock 42, and a Glock43 (among many, many other brands).
I wanted to save on money at the range & in general life so (IMO) folks should do what I did:
1st choose one (1) caliber
2nd choose one (1) gun in that caliber
3rd practice, practice, & practice with that single pistol or revolver set-up
I chose for CCW the Glock 43 over all others *even my beloved Glock 26* due to:
- ease of carry
- better concealment
- great accuracy!!
- great reliability (after I found the ammo it liked)
This is the same wisdom of the "Fear the man with only one gun" ideology.
Think about this & stay frosty.
Note: for the home defense role I use a 12 gauge shotgun. works on bear & humans.
Sweet Costa Rica what ammo does ur 43 like for self defense? I would like to use Federal HST’s on all my guns. Thanks in advance
Thanks for the tip. 👍
Don't forget the 357Sig.
I got a CZ75 SP01 as a home defense duty weapon and I'm getting a Glock 26 for EDC. Super stoked!!
Great review man. I was carrying a Glock 43 for a few years but couldn't resist a used Gen 5 Glock 26 for $456 at my local gun store. Not bad at all considering the current inflated prices. It's been a few weeks and I haven't shot it yet, but the extra thickness just fits my hands so much better. The Glock 26 isn't as slim as the 43, but it's still a tiny pistol. I don't even own a larger double stack Glock, but the mags and grip sleeve for the Glock 19 and Glock 17 mags are pretty affordable and compatible with my Glock 26.
Excellent video!
Love carrying my Glock26 & my Taurus G3C... small subcompacts are the best❤️
Great review, I need some of those xgrips.
Love my.26 with rmr or true glows its a fantastic weapon 😀
G26 was my EDC gun for years. Now G48 with the Shield Arms 15 round magazine. Cant go wrong with the G26 though.
My Glock 26 Gen3 is my workhorse ! I have fired more than 5000 thousand rounds without any malfunctions. Its my EDC and its also used in IDPA matches. The only other Glock I some times carry is My Gen2 Glock 19.
I shoot the 26 like a full size. Added a striker decocker gadget, defoor combat metal sights, some stipple, a trigger cut so I don't get as much Glock knuckle, and G17 trimmed down Hogue grip, and beavertail. For a small gun I shoot this amazingly well. Micro 9's are too thin.
Love all my Glocks! Stay safe Brother!😎🇺🇸
Glock 26 was the gun i chose to be my first gun and i will never sell it.
I carry a Glock 26.
I found out that its no good for competition shooting but awesome for ccw and all round defense.
Old comment, but just want to say that there are folks who have made grandmaster in USPSA with a Glock 26. It's definitely competition-worthy in the right division.
Love my Glock 26. Give you the best of every world. Super small and concealable, but you can still use any capacity glock 9mm magazines. You can’t make a large gun smaller, but you can make a smaller gun larger if you want.
Wish that were true for penises.
Love it.
good info, can you wear the holster so we can see it? im always worried about printing
Already ordered my 5gen. Should be here in a couple days
I like the 26 big brother, glock 30s
I have the 4th gen 26 in battlefield green. Dude I agree with everything you said. It's my favorite glock. I have huge hands so I have the medium beavertail on mine but its nuts on accurate and has been flawless. recently picked mine up for like 400 from a friend. Absolutely love it great vid!
yup Im thinking of getting the 26 gen 5 just for the reason that Any glock 19 style mag fits it all the way up to the 33 round not that I need a 33 round I would probably get the stock glock 19 mags for my spares they are plenty big for soup can plinking
Nice set up 👍
I have a glock 19 for my bedside\home protection with light laser 33 round mag and suppressor and I edc a glock 26 love them both. G17 is nice also
Where do you live, Fallujah? You're probably too tightly wound there, Skippy. Don't worry, the ninjas aren't coming for you. Just relax and enjoy life. And stop watching John Wick.
That's a sweet g26 you have
G26 does it all. Sold off all other Glocks but my 19x.
Same but i got a 45 which is just a gen 5 19x thats black not tan the 26 is the edc pry the best and easiest to use gun of its size and the 19x/45 is the gun id use if shit hit the fan if the military uses em u know theyre good enough for the normal person my goal tho is to one day have every size glock 9mm they make idc about the gen ive shot every gen but the 1st all are great the main difference i usually notice is always the triggers and if it has the finger groves or not i prefer em without bc its faster to just grab and shoot fast u dont gotta get ur fingers into position even tho the groves are comfy imo just not the best or something id want if my life was on the line id want my 45 for sure just bc you got that max capacity and room for better purchase on the grip and a more compact barrel and slide thats not snappy at all but thats the good about the 26 its 9mm so its super controllable unlike the .40 cal and imo i like 9 better its faster yea .40 is bigger but statistically they kill with the same number of rounds almost always and u get more rounds for cheaper in a 9 with less recoil which means better accuracy follow up shots and theyre still dead especially with todays technology 9 and 40 are a lot closer now than 30 years ago when everyone carried 40,45 or 357 now most people carry 9 and 40 from what ive seen
This pistol kicks ass!!!
I'm gonna get one in a couple months!!
Excited for my future G26! That’s going to my one and only ☝🏼
You got that right 👍
Would you recommend it to a first-time gun owner...... my concern is recoil
Nicely done brother 👍
26 gen 5 with 135 plus p critical duty is my religion
I see two magpul mags. I haven't had issues. What do you think about them?
Been carrying my 26 for 2 years very low key and VERY RELIABLE
I like the extended mags for the 26. I think that is my next purchase for easy concealment
I have the identical gen 4. I put my Glock 45 barrel (x19 only black) it seems to work.
0:40 that piece of dust flying off the barrel
I like that grip where can u get those from
I went with the G27 which u can convert to 9mm or 357 sig with night sights and extended mags
Just found your channel great stuff hope you post new vids again 👍
Great video man.
Douglas Saunders thanks!
how concealable is glock 26 compared to 43? will there be a difference when carried inside kydex holster when it comes to printing?
How do you get the white lettering on the gun like that?
Couldn't agree more, I searched for a while.. and ended up at the same conclusion, The 26 is the Jack of all Trades there are few that come close and with its ability to also throw the 17 rd clip in it quickly becomes a full grip combat capacity pistol. Not as great at range as say a 17 or 34 but it can be extremely accurate at distance in the proper hands. Great review certainly glad I came to the same conclusion +Jay Becerich
2232Stephen absolutely man! If I could only have one gun. This is it. For reasons you stated!
I got a used G19 with night sights and pinky extension on an extra mag for $325 two years ago. Pretty good piece for the money.
That’s a good price. I’m picking up a lightly used g26 gen 4 this week, 3 mags and night sights for $399
@@moose9410 good deal. I made a typo about my purchase... it was a G26 with a pinky extension and night sights for $325.
En mi opinión es la glock 19 la única pistola que se necesita para todo uso.
Saludos
We’re about the same size. No wonder I like the 26 so much. Sold my 19 and got a 26, if the 26 had a rail option this would be the perfect gun. I only like the rails for aesthetics really. How does a 43x/48 feel and shoot for you?
As much as I hate it, I shoot Glocks the best out of all my guns. The 26 is a most for any gun owner.
The 26 is the only gun you need. I carry my every day and when it is time to retire in the evening the 17 round goes in on the nightstand. I shoot this better than the 19 - I believe it is the hump on the 19 for me. This gun just plain runs.
Good vid. On the market for a subcompact for edc. Can’t decide between a Glock 26 and FNS-9C. Waiting to try the Glock 26 gen 5.
mrjpmd424 I am a huge fan of this gun. I have not shot an FNS-9c yet but I hear good things about them! Good luck finding your gun!
Go with the Glock
I have both. And quite simply, the FNS-9c is a much better weapon out of the box. SIghts, ergo and standard capacity magazine, and non-altered stippling are better. Plus you can pick up a new one for $499 plus tax...which is what I paid for mine. Shoots great. In other words one doesn't need to give it the spa treatment to get it to the next level. There is no denying that the G26 is a good-enough pistol. But it does not excel.
Matt K I disagree, all glock models excel in everything. If your inaccurate with it you need to practice more. But for carry and it boils down to opinion and what suits you best.
Chris Anyone, I said nothing about being inaccurate. That would be a shooter problem, not a gun problem. You absolutely did not address anything I typed about the ergonomics, standard capacity, sights, or stippling out of the box. Focus cupcake.
I’m torn between the g26 andp320sc as the “if I could only have one pistol” pistol.
If forced to choose I would go with the g26...
I am no glock fanboy by any means, by i traded my smith and wesson 357 for a gen 3 g26 and although i wanted to hate it. I changed out the sights talked alot of crap on it. But i hate to admit it, that gunbis super accurate in my hands. So in my opinion you cant go wrong with the g26.
What do you recommend for sites that would be similar to stock size? Thanks
Just picked one up... Ive owned a glock 17 for 5 yrs and carried it for a year now.. Thats over now.. Love my new 26.. Just for fun though what is that thing you put around the glock 17 mag to go on the 26?? I want one haha
Xgrip
I like traction grips better 12 dollars instead of 20 and it doesn't over lap in the front and it's same material, but only for glock go with talon on all other guns
I actually carry appendix with the Shapeshift with my G26 and its not that bad.
I won the shapeshift appendix. had them send it for a G26. buying the 26 next weekend.
Grate you help me make my mind up lol I too will get one im a level 3 S.O
Where can I get the part under the mag or what kind of mags are they great video
Just called "x grip" magazine sleeve
Im thinking about purchasing a new g26 but im wondering what advantage it has over my ruger lcp gen1 i know its not dependability the ruger runs on any fuel no jams smaller yet its only 7 rounds id love to be able to put 33 down the barrel
I'm a big guy (6'3'' 220) so I can carry most any gun...I prefer the 26 cause I can pocket carry it with a spare mag & no one knows what I am carrying.
My 26's just work, all the time, that's why I have two of them.
Ted Cregger
hell yeah brother!
however im 5 foot 6 and only one 26.but hell yeah to what u said!
I’m 6’3 and 250. The glock 26 is a brick in your pocket. Ruger lcp ii is perfect...less than 1/2 the weight, way smaller, good trigger, and reliable. Oh, and it disappears in my pocket. Definitely fits the role of concealed carry better than chopped down service pistols!
I can’t wait to pick up a G26.5 to replace my G48. G26’s conceal so well without being uncontrollable.
Holster ? There’s one called Desantis ( for many the very best IWB holster ) that’s the one I use, magazine ? I use the extended one that only add 2 rounds, that gives me 12 plus 1 for a total of 13. That’s my combo.
That color is the 1st one? It looks so sweet
OD green!
I wanted to buy one so bad awhile back but I went to the gun shop & when I held it the grip just felt too small in my hand & had to pass.
