Everything about Glock 26

About Glock 26

The Glock 26 is a striker-fired, recoil-operated, semi automatic pistol developed by Glock Ges.m.b.H., a well-known Austrian firearms producer. Even though the pistol has been around for nearly 3 decades, the Glock 26 still ranks among the most popular handguns among the general public. Function-wise, the G26 is an ideal choice for everyday concealed carry. Actually, this model had been the favorite CCW choice for any Glock lover until the Austrian producer introduced the Glock 43, which has stolen the concealed carry spotlight away from the G 26.

The Glock 26 is chambered for the 9x19mm Parabellum, one of the most popular and affordable handgun cartridges. The G26 comes with a double stack magazine that holds 10+1 rounds of the 9mm caliber, which is a great number for both self-defense and everyday concealed carry. Just like any other Glock pistol, the model 26 is also fully made of polymer. The Glock 43 comes with fixed, white dot front and white square U rear sights. The Glock 26 also comes with a very user-friendly grip.

Due to its size, the Glock 26 is one of the best choices for everyday concealed carry. The overall length of the Glock 26 is 6.5’’ and the pistol’s barrel is 3.43 inch long. These dimensions make the Glock 26 one of the best sub-compact and CCW pistols. The pistol works best if carried in an IWB or appendix holster. However, as the pistol is quite tiny, it can be easily concealed in an open carry holster as well.

Thanks to a wide range of available aftermarket accessories, the Glock 26 can be easily customized and upgraded with any of the following products - tactical lights, tactical lasers, red dot sights, night sights, custom grips, extended magazines.
