![]() While the old one is a “Gen2” in Glock-speak, this one is a Gen3. The second G26 in the gun safe at home is one that my girlfriend won at a Glock match. The last time I taught a class with it, it gave me a 300 out of 300 possible score on the pacesetter qualifi-cation, and I was content with that. ![]() I never did change the factory fixed sights on it-the white-dot front and square, white-outlined rear. It has a standard Glock 5.5-pound trigger setup. Today, I use the G26 more often than I used to. For a while, it wore an 8-pound connector, since it wasn’t an everyday gun for me, and I wanted to have at least one Glock to demonstrate to students with every trigger option. But the Glock 26 was my backup many times when I carried the Glock 17, as it would take the G17’s magazines and the advantage was obvious. It was a tad more accurate, and I carried it a lot over the years as it came from the factory, save for adding Trijicon night sights and an NY-1 trigger. The oldest is one of the first that left the factory I got it for a gun magazine test and liked it enough to buy it, along with the G27 that came with it. Both areproven performers but are seen in the civilian market as “niche cartridges,” and neither has ever approached the 9mm or. 357 Sig, and even later, the Glock 39 in. Meanwhile, the company later introduced the identical Glock 33 in. Lately, though, my sources at Glock tell me that the G26 is outselling the G27. 40 reached its peak, the G27 outsold the G26 for a time. ![]() The 9mm G26 was introduced simultaneously with its twin in. Of course, it also works with the 15-round magazine of the compact Glock 19, the full-length 17-round magazine of the standard-size Glock 17 and even the 33-round magazine originally developed for the Glock 18 machine pistol. Essentially the modern classic Glock 17 “chopped and channeled” at the muzzle and butt, the G26 is designed around a 10-round magazine and safely carries an 11th in the chamber. Not just in the marketplace, but in the field. Since its introduction circa 1996, the Glock 26 pistol has been hugely successful. Even while firing a triple-tap (note the casings in the air), the muzzle is still well under control.
