Glock 19 vs Glock 26 

You can make the 26 bigger....but can't make the 19 smaller...

Definitely still a relevant topic with more people (especially young people) opting to protect themselves

I carry a 26 daily, I've found that the Glock factory mags with +2 base pads still conceal well, offer better grip and don't pinch like the Pierce extensions.

I run the Gen 3 OD Green 26 with the 12 round Glock mag (12+1 and room for my pinky), the Hogue Beavertail grip (huge improvement to ergonomics), Warren night sights, a NY1 trigger (firmer take up), and 147+P HST. By far my favorite CC gun!

26 is it's own animal I love it it's not like any other gun very awesome. 26 for me

I carry both together g26 on my left ankle g19 tlr1 4 o'clock right hip

People going with a G26 need to practice running it fast. Having your pinky off the bottom makes a difference in maintaining grip. Let alone the energy difference. It can be done. I know a guy who shoots competition with stock G26 even though he's got a 45 lbs-ft deficit to my G19 TB.

G26 with the 19's or 17's mag, and the x-grip.......a good looking, snub-nosed 2-stack glock.

I started my glock collection with the 26. I like it a lot. ran it in a few AZ2Gun competitions. I not too long ago I picked up a 19 MOS. (both Gen4) I'm a bit more accurate with the 26, but I'm sure that's just because I've got more time behind it. when carrying either of them I use their flush fit mag in the gun and then a G17 mag as backup

if its your only gun go glock 19 if you already have a full size/compact go glock 26

*Long Comment Warning* Here goes: I'm 6'2" 235ish and I've been carrying a 26 for 4-5 years. I always carry with a 12 round in it and 17-21 round backup. I've used it in several training classes and I've never felt like the gun put me at a disadvantage. I bought a 26 because my 17 is not very concealable/comfortable. The longer slide was terrible for everything other than standing straight, and the long magazine was difficult to conceal. I went fully the opposite direction and got the shortest of both (G26). The funny thing is now I carry the 26 in a 19 holster because the extra length puts a little leverage on the bottom of the holster which keeps the top of the gun from flopping away from my belly. The 12 round mags still hide better than a 15 round in the 26. I guess I could try a 19, but they aren't cheap and the I have no problems using the 26.

The glock 19 mag can be your spare... thats what i do

Very good video. I carry both, G19, G26 (12+1) GEN 4s and at times the G42 (7+1). Both, as you mention, the G19 and G26 use the same holster except if I add a light+laser attachment. They both conceal well for me @215Lbs. My accuracy is very good with both except at 50 feet or greater the G19 wins out, sight radius does matter. As with any gun, range time and how you use it matters. I most always use the 3 rds. in under 3 sec. rule as the clock is my stress factor.

I have both 19 and 26 (19x,17,34,43 i know i need help) never go wrong with Glock

Running a g26 gen3 with vedder holster with claw along with kore essentials x3 belt i love it , looking into getting a g19 mos .

i have 17 19 26 and there is something about the 26 that is magical is shoots in my hands as good or better than the others they all are great guns you cant go wrong with ant glock

Best comparison video out there - hands down!

Well hell you did very well with the baby glock. Still would replace sights on the 26. But good review.

Just get both and be happy

Or, option C - Buy a Glock 19 and if it just doesn't conceal well enough, chop the grip down to a 26. Light rail, concealability, etc... win win!

Glock 26 the best gun ever I have many accessories glock 26 is good for cary 10rd mag and 17rd extra mag I have glock 19 threaded barrel I can use it in my glock 26 so if I not cary my gun but long barrel and glock 17 mag 17rd and +6 mag extension mean 23rd mag and long barrel Rady for use for cary oem Barrel flash mag 17rd mag extra nice gun for any think you can make it subcompact or full size

You can make the G26 bigger, But you can’t make the G19 smaller.

Appreciate the video man. Very helpful and informative. Thanks a thousand. Subscribed.

Great video, I have experience with both. I have medium to large hands, so the 19 fits better when comparing these 2 guns in thier normal configurations. G19 15 rnd. mag, & G26 10 rnd.mag. To me, that's the tipping point towards the 19. Both conceal well, I'm 5' 9" 220, athletic shape and I have zero problem with concealing either. I'd say go with the 19 first unless your a smaller person. Ymmv.

This is the best comparison video on here! This helped me decide between the two something I’ve been going back and forth on for a while. And it helps that I am the same build at 6’2 235. Thank you for this great video. New subscriber.

One of the factors why I'm leaning towards the g26 more is because of the weight, it's obviously gonna be lighter than the 19 even if both have full rounds on the magazines

Moral of the story Carry the g26 if u choose to wear a teenage boy shirt like this guy. Lol nosa I'm just busting. Great content TY

Great comparison 11 years ago I got the 26 before the different generations were available, being much smaller than yourself physically I chose 26, with Ameriglo front orange site and black rear and a Ghost trigger I can carry with utmost confidence the width of a double stack does tighten up my clothing, later I got a ruger lc9s for concealability when dressing up a bit,I shot it great also, I lost it ??? and recently replaced with a like new used LC9S pro and I shoot it low and left for some reason, returned to ruger they checked it out and found nothing wrong and the 5 shot group on paper sent with it proved it's me apparently pushing it left and low i'm replacing the trigger with a Galloway upgrade hopefully fixing my grouping if not I will either just carry the 26 or look at another single stack will have to try renting a couple first to see what works. thanks for your well delivered video.

Buy both

I’ve owned 5 or so glocks since Jan 2012, my 19, 23, & 26 are my faves, btw the G26 I bought in 2013 hits apple 🍎s at 15 yards constantly” if you do your part slowly

Great video thanks definitely not to late . To the party. Recommend the 19 for anyone just starting out shooting... thanks

I carry the Glock 26 and the Glock 19.I shoot tighter groups with my glock 26. The Glock 19 has a softer recoil spring and the rounds open up a little bit on me.

The 26 is surprisingly very accurate but the Achilles is drawing from concealment is very hard as the grip is too far and short

Glock 45 & Glock 26 with 12 rd OEM mags are my choice.

Great video! I really like to way you present the differences. I have a 19 but looking to add the 26 for when I need extreme concealabity. Thanks!!

I keep my Glock 19 by my bedside for home protection with 19+1 round mag light/laser and suppressor and edc my Glock 26.

Nice video. I'm not as brave as you are. I look in the holster before putting the pistol back in and put it in really slowly. No need to hurry. Watch yourself, when unholstering, your shirt goes way up, when you reholster it doesn't look like it fully clears the holster and you're not looking. Well, you're the expert and I'm just a watching videos... what do I know.

nice you showed how it looks with a shirt

I wish I carried 230lbs as well as you do!

Our shapes are similar. I've learned to wear my buckle off to the left a bit to offset any bulge from the firearm. It has worked well. With your belt buckle bulging out slightly in the center, it brings your attention to the fact that there is something else hidden under your shirt. It's not horrible, but I wouldn't call it 100% concealed. And G26 all the way

Welcome to the Glock perfection party pal !!!!!!!!

I've been concealing a 19 for years. I have been considering a 17 for the longer/fuller/better grip. The 19 is a squeeze for my big mits.

Thanks for sharing. I’m actually considering the Gen 5 Glock 26.

I carry the 26 in a pretty stock setup with a 19 mag as my backup.

im 5'6 150ish lbs.i love my glock 26 however i can't find a truly comfortable CC. thats just me . enjoyed watching this tho.

You did a really good job hiding them both (wow) nice 👍🏼 keep up the good work 💪🏾

Bro I was watching your video in Türkiye.I appreciate your work.keep up the good job.

I really like the G26. I have carried one in a Galco ankle glove when I worked a soul sucking corporate office job and had a G17 mag in the pocket. No one was the wiser. The G26 shoots better than its size would suggest. I wish Glock would make a G26C. If Glock wanted to make all the inter web commando heads explode, they would adapt the 26 slide to the 19 frame, provide the MOS system and compensated. Then add a Streamlight tlr-6 and a magwell and you've created yourself the inter web head exploding roland special. Boom.

If you had a True Classic tee shirt it would be looser around the belly. This is exactly what I was looking for, to see if you can be accurate with that short little grip of the 26.

I have the Glock 19 gen 5 and the Glock 43x. Both are great guns. But for some reason I want the Glock 26, I don’t know exactly why I just do.

Great video. Very well presented specially on the how it looks [n concealment. I'm 5'4" so my combination is the 26 and the 43. Love both. Thanks for sharing. Saludos from Puerto Rico.

Great video. I just subscribed.

Go with the 19 if it’s your only option the 26 is great but I would recommend only using the intended 10 round mag (pinky extension base plates are ok) but every time I use a 19 mag w xgrip or even the extended 33rd mag it jams a lot ...

I thought you said these were Glock gen 4. Glock Gen 4 be it the 19 or 26 has finger grooves. I can not see them. Did you swap frames?

"no one's gunna believe that..... Welp... Damnit" lmfao

Great review!

You are a great shot with that 19!!

Unless you're a bonus hole boy appendix carry doesn't make much sense

TIME CAP 9:42+ ANYONE else notice the bug on the target???

Thanks for your point of view on this comparison.

Use a Stoeger STR 9MC instead of the G26.

real good review!!!!

Good video! Thank you.

Just came across this video. Fantastic job! Very thorough and honest. I like that in a review. I've got a 26 but have been thinking about selling it and getting a 19. Just can't bring myself to do it though. Lol

Excellent review! New sub here.

I'd love to come hang out with you for a day. And shoot guns. And learn some of these cool things about guns and holsters etc. If you don't do it already.....there is a business for you. Probably loads in US. Not that many in UK or Ireland

I've seen, and witnessed personally, the G26 jam a lot. Not knocking it at all but my wife's has jammed and FTE. TICKS me off because she wanted it and loves it, it's her CC, and I don't know what's causing it to FTF or FTE. Brass ammo too. FMJ and HP. Help. Thanks Thanks for the upload, and I know it's old but I just saw it. So, thanks

The finish on the 26 is better

Great video thanks.

The more your belly grows the easier it is to conceal the handle.

Glock 27 gen 3 primary carry Glock 26 gen 5USA backup

Solid vid

I'm in love with Glock 26 gen 4 Thanks for sharing 😊 Peace and love from Lahore Pakistan zindabad

Awesome Review

He lyin’ lol those be trijicon 😂

Aren't u the guy The Hoss was shilling on Yeager's livestream?

What did you have to do to get that shirt from Kevin?

Glock rocks. Plain and simple

I have always heard the rumor that the 26 is the most “accurate” of them all. Not sure why when the 19 and 26 use the same locking block. It’s literally just a shorter barrel and slide.

Honestly, for concealed carry the G26 is a better gun. With the factory set up, the G26 needs in my opinion an extension for me to get a full grip. Now I dont have gigantic hands but I dont have small hands either and I cant get a full grip without it. I happen to feel the G26 is better than the G43 for the same task as well if only because of the extra capacity. Now, the G19 isnt exactly a hard gun to conceal in my opinion but it's not a "compact" gun either. It's a full sized gun and frankly, the G17 isnt much bigger to carry and I think I'd rather have the G17 myself. Ultimately I feel it comes down to comfort. Be that comfort in your hand, comfort when firing, comfort in capacity limits, or comfort in holsters. I feel a good quality holster for either will carry equally as well so that to me is a bit of a moot point. I think I'd go with the G19 just because I prefer larger guns and having fired some smaller sub compact guns I typically dont find them to be very comfortable and lack of comfort equates to less time training with the gun which ultimately equates to you having less experience with your chosen weapon and that for me is a no go. If I'm going to go small, I tend to go with a smaller caliber like a .32 or .380 in a semi auto. I do have a Glock 39 with a +2 extension for 8 shots of .45 GAP, which at it's worst is equal to .45 ACP but with proper loads in the 185gr range it operates closer to .45 ACP +P in terms of ballistics. It is a bit snappy but it gets excellent expansion and penetration. And when compared to .40 S&W I find it's a bit more comfortable to shoot while offering similar ballistics if not superior in a short barrel. But the G19 is a good sized gun, 15 rounds is plenty, and it can be concealed relatively easy.

Glock 17 = lion Glock 19 =Tigre Glock 26 = cat

Use a plus,if you know anything about glocks, 99% of 26 shooters use it

If u don't plan on carrying, G19 all the way.

You lost me at olight...

Gotta have flat abs for that ;-)

Chicks dig the extra length in the '19 "fire in the HOLE'

How comfortable is appendix if you have a belly? Seems like a slender dude carry option.

Guys Listen up. The 43x now has a flush 15 round mag and an extended 20 round mag. GAME CHANGER NO other gun on the market today has such capacity with such little imprint.

What olight is that?

Making a lot of excuses for the 26 haha. You should consider changing the title to Custom 19 vs Custom 26. The sights and the longer barrel on the 19 gives it an unfair advantage.

You talk too much.

Awesome review!!!
