There is another Glock owner in town now.

You can add me to the list of glock owners now. Just got a new G26. Can't wait to go shoot it.

The G26 is a good gun, shoots surprisingly well for a smaller gun as long as I do my part. Congrats.

Congrats! The G26 is a favorite among many. Which generation did you go with?

 

[DustyDawg48]

I finally had the pleasure of shooting one and I couldn't get over how well it shot; I figured it would suffer from the same problems most subcompacts do and that is punishing the shooter after about 2 or 3 mags. I could have shot that gun all day long, I was very impressed. It was quickly added to my 'must have' list!

Great carry gun

I thought I was buying a Gen 4 but it does not have the replacable rear plate, it does have the dual spring and no rail though. Does that make it a Gen 3 or Gen 4 ?

 

[HogDaddy]

Glocks rock!! You have just started a long enjoyable relationship with the glocks. Just like Lays potato chips can't have just one.

 

[Mr.Strato]

IIRC All '26s use the dual recoil spring, none of the subcompacts have rails, you probably got a gen3 since there is no interchangeable backstrap.
Here's a tip, if you carry a spare mag, use one out of a g-17, 17 rounder.

 

[KillStick]

It would say gen4 on the slide.

 

[jgressley2003]

That should make you a nice gun to carry. It sounds like your glock is a gen 3.

Congratulations--great gun.
If it does not have the extensions on the magazine for the pinky finger, strongly suggest installing Pearce magazine extendions, either the PG-2733 (plus 1) or PG-39 (plus 2.)

Other than than, shoot and enjoy!

 

[dcolip]

I have been wondering about the extension. Thanks for the recommendation.

Agreed, I've got the +1 on mine and it does make a difference.

One sip o" the kool aid is all it takes. I used to be about as anyi Glock as it gets, untill I got a 17. I'm selling a gun to buy a G26! Is the back strap the only difference in gen 4 G26?

 

[JohnP82]

Nice!! Congrats!

 

[trnsplntfrmohio]

why does everyone cream their pants about shooting a sub compact?

I belive the texture of the grip is different also, but not sure.

 

[LotsofGlocks]

Congrats!

 

[Driver]

Congrats. Its a great gun. It will be my next gun to keep my 19 company.

 

[Johnson]

You'll love this gun. Like another poster said, carry 1 or 2 G17 mags for spares and you have a very effective defense package. Enjoy!
