the perfect 9mm for me,
May 27, 2012
have been carrying this 9mm as my CCW for the past 10 years and it is the perfect 9 for concealment and stopping power. using the power ball ammo and after over 5000 + rounds HAVE NEVER HAD A misfire, jam or any malfunction. love it with the 15 round clip with the extension grips.
also have 30 round mag and fire that off in 10 to 13 seconds and this baby glock just keeps on ticking.
getting another one for the wife as she just got her ccw.

Great gun!,
December 21, 2010
The Glock 26 is my CCW weapon of choice. Compact, accurate, reliable, and with +P rounds it packs a punch!
Pros: eats almost any ammo you feed it(jacketed only because of the hexagonal barrel). Easily concealable and reliable.
Cons: small hand grip is sometimes hard to manage. I have large hands and find that the pistol wields best with the pearce grip extension, NOT the +1 grip extension. It also handles fine with the flush fitting magazine as I place my pinky finger beneath the magazine base for support.
The 15 or 17 rd mag with the slip-on grip extension makes the pistol absolutely perfect.
(I recommended installing an extended magazine release with the edges sanded down if you carry this pistol and the extended slide release, both allow the pistol to function more reliably)

Accurate, affordable, concealable, and deadly,
December 16, 2010
I've carried the Glock 26 for going on a year now as my only concealed carry gun. For me, it's the right blend of accuracy, affordability, conceal-ability, and deadliness.
Let's skip the debate on what round is more powerful, and just agree that we'd never want to get hit with a HP 9MM. Agreed? Good. Lets call it plenty deadly then.
I like to shoot as often as possible, but ammo is expensive. Thankfully, 9mm is pretty much the most affordable and available handgun round there is. That makes this a very affordable gun to shoot. The initial cost is pretty average too.
Yes, there are smaller, thinner, lighter 9mm guns on the market that would be easier to conceal. However, I don't trust them like I trust my Glock. It works in the mountains, the desert, the rain, the snow - where ever you need it to, it survives and performs. It's never had a malfunction of any kind, no matter how dirty it's gotten, and I don't expect it to. The bulk of this gun compared to some of the real small ones is still pretty minimal, so I'm very happy with how it conceals.
I've learned to be fairly accurate with it, and I'm getting better. Glock's are tough enough to survive dry-fire training, and I've been doing lots of that to improve my trigger control.
In all, this is my top-pick for concealed carry, and I would buy it over again in a heart-beat.

The genius of Gaston Glock -- shoots first, last, always. Any type of ammo, conditions, whatever. My Glock 26 is absolutely my favorite 9mm.

It Eats Anything!,
November 15, 2010
This is an AWESOME concealed carry gun! It will eat ANY ammo and is very reliable. It's the only Glock 9mm pistol that will take ANY Glock 9mm magazine which is very handy if you own other 9mm Glocks.

Great weapon for conceal carry. Grip is best for smaller hand with extended magazine. Easy to clean and accurate for short barrel.

Unbeatable Concealed Carry Firearm,
November 12, 2010
I've got about 2,500 rounds through my Glock 26 (3rd Gen purchased at Impact's Ogden store), so thought I'd share my experiences. There's a lot to love, but I'll try to keep it brief.
-This pistol is more accurate than I am, which is saying a lot for such a short barrel. IT EATS EVERYTHING. I've not had a single hiccup with any ammo. I've run everything from the cheapest ball ball/hollow points to the best ammo, and it just keeps spitting them out. Recoil is very manageable, and perfect for accurate double-taps.
-This pistol is a little thick, but I'm more than happy to sacrifice a little width in order to have a double-stacked magazine. I keep one chambered (and can always trust that my Glock will not go off unless the trigger is pulled), so have 11 rounds ready to go all the time. I purchased Pearce +2 extensions for both mags at the same time I purchased my Glock because I just didn't think I'd be comfortable without my pinky finger on the grip. I took them off shortly after, though. They defeated the purpose of the smaller firearm for concealment, and I am seriously more comfortable without them. I did end up purchasing some finger-rest extensions from Concealable Control, though, and absolutely love them. I normally carry this IWB, but also pocket carry it fairly often...sometimes in jeans (and I won't pretend it's the most comfortable, as I'm only 5'5, 150lbs), and sometimes in a jacket/coat pocket when the weather is cooler.
-Aesthetics: This is probably where I hear the most complaints. People say it's plain, or call it a brick: I don't buy it. I don't go look for a pretty hammer or wrench, I look for one that works and will last. And that's what you're getting with Glock. You can drag it through the mud, pull it out in a sandstorm, or gum it up with pocket lint and oil, and it's still going to go "bang," EVERY SINGLE TIME. My firearm is a tool (admittedly, I clean and caress this tool more than any others), plain and simple. Having said that, I like the way it looks. It's all business, save the shiny stuff for the one that stays in the cabinet.
Overall, I can't recommend a better gun. I've honestly taken several people to the range with me who hate Glock (1911 people). But they ALWAYS leave as a fan, and 2 went and bought their own. I love this weapon. Molon labe!

Concealed Carry Perfection,
November 12, 2010
I own a Glock 26 and i LOVE it. I carry it nearly everyday. The 26 has a good weight and a great balance. It is very concealable in an IWB holster. I also like the adaptability of the handgun. You can use any 9mm Glock mag (Glock 17, 18, 19, 26) up to the 33 rounders. This could easily tip the firepower scale in your favor. It is also helpful at the range. The Glock is also rated for +P+ rounds in case you need extra power. But in a nutshell, I feel that the Glock 26 is a perfect choice for everyday carry, even on a budget.
