When I buy a new gun I tend to run 250 rounds of 9mm NATO spec fmj. It's basically +p spec so it loosens stuff up pretty quickly without having to spend much more than standard 115 grain range fodder. By the way you have likly a gen 3. Possible a gen 2.5 if you bought it from 94 to 97.
Nice video. I have owned two G26s the current one a Gen4.Thousands of rounds through both and never a malfunction. Have G19 and and 43X but the 26 is my favorite.
When it's too hot to carry a Glock 19... The 26 comes out. I had to shoot a running skunk at 40 yards that had sprayed us and the cabin... One shot with the 26. I love it.
@@jodynorris6975 In Texas heat during the summer I carry the G26 because I can still conceal it well under a thin t-shirt. In the winter months I wear thick untucked flannel shirts, jackets or even a coat where it's easy to conceal the bigger handle on the G19 without printing like it would under a thin t-shirt. Maybe pull your head out of your ass and use a little common sense?
I have a Delaware concealed carry permit. Going to a certification class on Monday 9/25 for Maryland concealed carry permit. One of the instructors is a former fbi agent (30 years), I was sold when he told me he carry’s a Glock 26, it convinced me to get one !
Like I stated in the vid, I bought this one in 2001, it’s been a hella-va great carry pistol!!! I don’t recall very having a malfunction either, thank you for watching and commenting!
I bought my 26 gen 5 a couple of months ago and have had it out twice thus far. I have shot 250-300 rounds with zero problems. I have 3 of those Magpul 12 round mags, and they are great! I like that I can use the same mags my 19X uses.
That is an awesome pistol bro, like I mentioned in the video, I have had mine since 2001. It has been a truly awesome and reliable firearm. I carried this pistol when I was doing a year long police undercover op back in the day, I definitely trusted it with my life. Thank you for the comment and for watching!
The reason i have a dislike for the 26 is that i have to get extended mags so It'll fit in my hand. This is just my OPINION, but i think having the standard mags in the gun thus causing the pinky to rest under the gun, could cause less control over the gun, and since i look at it like that, getting an extended mag is the same as buying the 19 with a but longer grip. Just do that. This is why, unless people really don't mind the short stock and factory mags with a tucked pinky under the stock, i can't carry this pistol. My wife has a G26 Gen4 and she loves it. That's why i bought it. For me, I'll keep my 17 Gen5. Thanks for the upload
I will not use the magpul mags for carry. Ive had feeding issues with 4 different magpul glock mags. I just put the +2/+3 pearce extensions on my 10 rounders so i can continue to use my factory mags.
I’ve got two 26’s that I’ve owned for many years. I’ve only used Glock magazines in it and I can say in all honesty I’ve never had a malfunction of any kind. I haven’t kept a round count but it has to be over 10,000. Great video sir.
Carrying the Glock 26 Gen 5 MOS daily and honestly one of my easiest shooters . Still need a optic maybe but I shoot fine open sights but I'm 53 & eyes not as good these days. Peace be with you in Jesus name.
Doug, thank you for watching man, I am right there with ya on the age and eyesight. The G26 is a proven self defense platform, one of my personal go-too’s. God bless you sir!
Carried a Glock 19 for a number of years OTJ. In retirement, I traded the 19 for a 43X. How ever my Gen4 26 is going nowhere & will stay with me for the duration.
The glock 26 is my favorite pistol. I've carried a gen 3 since 2012 when I turned 21.
I always tell my family it goes with me to the grave.

I’m old and think the 1911 and S&W revolvers are still relevant today, but I have to say for me the Glock 26 is hard to beat.
I've owned my G26 gen 4 for 20 years, thousands of rounds with no malfunctions. My first love of the Glock family❤

Hi Ron, thank you for that data point, never a malfunction is what we all want to hear! I never recall having one with mine!

Yup, in colder weather I carry the 19, and in summer the 26.

Mine sat loaded for ten years before shooting again. Zero problems and never clean it
My favorite Glock.
Ain't nothing wrong with a 26.

I remted this very accurate but a bit too small. The MP shirld is easier to draw from concealment but snappier

Thats interesting, I haven't had an issue yet, but that you for the heads up.
I carry a gen 4 26 everyday. I am thinking about a gen 5.

Thats awesome and thank you for the feedback!
I own a Glock 26 and I have had malfunctions it’s just the way it is with a small gun I’m being honest just train to get better

I shot over 35,000 rounds through my lock 26 not one hiccup 115 grain what is that 147 grain 126 it don't matter it's just shoots
Great video !, getting ready to get one !
Man thank you for saying that! It makes me happy to know that ppl like my vids, it's an awesome carry pistol!

G19 is my primary, when i'm feeling lazy it's the 26, and I almost always have a 43 on my ankle
I keep mine under my pillow.
Every night I promise
I’ve got A LOT of pistols…. I’ve never had a “break-in period” with any of them.
U gave a gen 1. Your bullet extractor is different
Your G26 is a Gen3
Good shooter.
Any small gun guaranteed malfunctions, come on man!!!
My go to
It would be difficult to argue that it’s past it’s prime
