One of my favorite CCW Firearms
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.
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.
@@chrisbenson2430 I'm struggling to decide whether to run a 26 with a pinky extensions or a 43X.
@@farzana6676 I run a 26 with a flush magazine for concealed carry and I usually carry a Glock 17 or 19 mag in my front pocket.
@@chrisbenson2430 Flush mag is not good enough for me. I need all my finger on the grip.
That's why I was leaning to the 43x over the 26.
Wrong Glock 17 Perfection 🥰💞👌
Nothing better than a Glock 26 Gen 4 with the ext magazine, smooth, reliable, accurate. In Glock I trust.
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.
Just got a glock 26 gen 5 its my favorite gun
I have the Glock 26 GEN 4 it's my favorite EDC handgun. I love carrying this firearm everywhere I go . Very concealable . Can't go wrong with a Glock 26. Glad you did not sell your Glock .
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
LOVE GLOCK 26.24/7.
Great to hear that a simple modification completely changed your opinion. I think it would make an excellent companion to my G45
Glock 26 gen 5 for the hood and Glock 20 for the woods, that’s what I’m rocking with. Love my g26 carry it with a 15 round mag. Concealed perfectly
Yoooooooo u a smart man, I’m the same way!!!!!!!
Im thinking of selling my M&P shield plus for Glock 26
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.
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.
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.
@@matthewshelton9573 thx for replying. Much appreciated
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.
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%!
Awesome! And thanks for watching!
26 is the most versatile 9mm glock for edc
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.
i love the 26, 21,22,17,19, 43
Sold my Glock 19gen4 after 5K rounds through it , was wanting the g19 gen5 MOS but not one to be found anywhere!
So I bought the g26 gen5 and the g34MOS and now I don’t miss my g19 , the g26 is my daily CCW and the g34 with a TLR-1 HL rail light is my nightstand/ quick home defense gun and I’m 100% content with these two glocks 😁 oh both are made here in the USA 🇺🇸
Grinding the rough edge smooth on the pinky extension usually takes care of the pinch problem
I just ordered a G26 police trade in from a website this week. It should be at my dealer first of next week. I’m hoping it’s in good condition and still has some glow in the sights. Super stoked! It will be my new EDC and replace my G27 and will be in the rotation with my Ruger EC9.
good presentation duncan very much to the point.
Thanks for watching!
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.
Thanks for watching! Check out my other videos that you may find helpful.
GREATEST EDC EVER!!! wherther you like it or NOT!!!!!
Thanks for watching!
Had the G26 and sold it because it just kept pinching my finger. Also too thick for pocket carry. Missed it so bought another one several years later. Traded it because of the same reason above. Now up to date I bought another one and never selling or trading it again. The G26 is just so much softer when shooting compare to these new micro 9s and and 43/43X. Plus being able to use the G17 and G19 mags is a huge plus as I have both. For some odd reason I shoot the G26 better than my G17 and G19.
Consider a small o ring just above the base. Get a thin one. It will prevent the “wiggle” in the mag and that’s what pinches you.
@@oklahomahank2378 thanks! I will try that
@@bluedownC I posted a link in the main comments to a video on this. He used a #17. I used a #38. I think those are different numbering systems. They key is not too thick, so the mag will seat.
@oklahomahank2378 thanks again I was going to ask that as well!
Try the Glock Factory 12 round mags! Magpul also makes a nice 12 rounder. I love my Glock 26! I also put the Hogue beavertail grip on mine. Its perfect!
With the Pearce +2 you get a full grip with no pinching. Note the +2 does not give you 2 additional bullets, only 1 for total 11 in the mag.
I think the g26 gen 3 and g17 gen3 compliment eachother well together
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for that! I have the same issue,truly never have found a "comfortable" solution. Have to give this a try!
Thanks for this video. I applied for a CCW with Glock 17 on my permit, but it is a large gun. I went to the range today and shot the Glock 26 and I really like it. I'll add this to my permit because it is much smaller and easier to conceal.
Thanks for watching and glad it was helpful! Check out some of my other videos, which you might find useful as well.
I love my G26 but I have to try the Talon grips.
Love my G26
G 19 has been my all time favorite handgun for over 25 yrs. However the 26 is such a close too 2nd if even a second and i can actully shoot it nearly identically love both the 19 and 26 alot my 2 definate favorite i have updated all my glocks to the gen 5s really love the new gen5s i do have a few special edition 19s in gen 4 and 3 like my semper fi from talo and special operations from talo both of them only had 1000 made there really sweet blued slides real gold inlays also have a RTF2 fish scale and a vickers RTF2 NOn fish scale version and its in od greenish/ brown love the color and im gennerally a all buisness black handgun guy im also a huge fan of the new 45 and 19x hate the 19x color and there really not a practical carry arm but boy are they sweet shooters
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. Now they buying glocks so that's why I didn't want a glock. I finally caved when I shot my friends glock 26. Bought my own last week and hit the range today. Bought a new holster and it's sittin pretty
I love the Talon grips on my Gen3 Glocks. All of them have them installed. Try the Magpul 12 rounders. Great grip with no pinching.
I heard some bad news about that magazine combined with the Gen 5 Glock 26 models... but for other gens it seems to be fine
@@Pepperjack57IsAwesome I did too but I tried mine in my Gen5 and they worked perfectly fine. As with anything test them thoroughly.
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.
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
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!!!
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.
Thanks for the info, I did the same to my 26 and is amazing!!! Can you please do one with the G30s 45acp I love that one is my every day carry…thanks!!
What gen is your gun?
Dremmelled the crap outta my grip and undercut, added the beaver tail and cut/sanded that down. Xgrips on the 15rd. Boom 26X
There also used to be talon tape by the roll. Can't find it anymore
Nice
Thanks
I had the same problem with a "cosmetic" the plug in the back of the pistol grip keeps the magazines from pinching my hand when I load them in. I'll try the talon grips
Thanks for watching! Check out some of my other videos which you may find helpful.
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…
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
Very very awesome gun i have one thx for the great video on this awesome 🔥 arm.
G26 is 👑
Thanks for watching! Check out my other videos that you might find helpful!
👍😎
Look into Xgrip more rounds and better grip
A magpul pinky mag for that 26 will solve that issue. Had the same problem. I have small hands for a man.
Thanks for watching!
While owning the 26 and 43, Which would u make your EDC ?
I did own both. I sold the 43 because I like the 26 hands down better so I sold the 43.
In the city and holidays g26. Family gatherings quick trips to and from 43. Is the system I use. I have both.
Putting a pinky extension of any kind is not needed. Talon grips mos def help keep a much better grip though for sure and are and asset🤙🏼
No point in a 19. Just get a 26. If you want another 9, get a 17 for target shooting. Just ny .02
Thanks for watching!
Respectfully is not the gun, is you....
Owned three (3) Glock 26s (all different generations). Loved that gun & many undercover police/agents I hear loved the G26 also back in the day.
_BUT..._ The Glock 26 (1st Baby Glock) was/is fat & it is the *older* generation of CCW/concealed carry pistol.
Glock's (& other makers i.e. SIG P365, Springfield Hellcat, etc.) *newer* CCW/owned
with the CCW/ conceal carry pistols as the average thats fire in CCW/CWP is 3 to 4 shots (FBI statistic).
Glock 19 > Glock 26 for EDC
Thanks for watching!
just use a g19 mag
Grind the lip down,that's what I did and it works.
On the Pearce grip? Gonna try that
Glock 19 & 26? Sounds like you might be "On The J"!
