My New Baby Glock: Glock 26 Gen 5 

Lol that’s crazy

Never trust a “new” recoil spring.

But the proper spring makes the pistol near impossible for my 72 year old hands to operate. Selling it.

I did the same thing. 19 for home . 26 my edc. 👍

@@darylragland1502 i did the same but i have a Beretta 9 mm for home and range shooter and the 26 my edc I love Betetta just the full size is so big but for carry i love glock 26😎

@@darylragland1502 I traded the Glock 19 (gen 4) for the Glock 26 (gen 5). The 19 stayed in the safe because it was too big for concealment. So I carried the Glock 42 (380) and also kept it bedside with two 9 round mags. I got the 26 for concealed carry and kept a Glock 19 mag (15 rounds) for home defense. You can also get extended mags with 30 rounds if you want. So the 26 eliminates the need for the 19 because of its versatility. I liked the Glock 19. But I love the Glock 26!

Or just buy a better Holster

See so many people say they let go of their 26 and want to get another one

Right on Bro.

Dang. Best spouse gift ever. You're too lucky.

How did you add a tlr7?

Thank you.

Thank you. That is definitely unusual for a Glock.

The only big problems I had with my Glock 26 gen 5 was with my after market Magpul 9mm magazines; 15rd, 12rd designs. The standard Glock mags did great 👍🏻. I added a few Glock safety orange base pads. Those come in factory royal blue or orange colors. Larry Vickers, Tango Down makes useful mag base pads too. Easy to carry-use.

We will be doing that in a future video.

😳😱

They will remove the front slide bevel or front slide grooves and tout them as new features.

How u know?

Who said that you or Glock ?

Love my g26g3 for a lady. Fires like a purr kitty.

Good job now move out of that freedom hating communist state 😎

Honestly the gen 3's are still probably about the best gen imo although I do love my G45 too.

Thank you. With practice and a pistol that fits you well, anything is possible.

A year later still carrying her as we speak 🗣️

Yes and no. The guide rod spring can be off from the factory. It was probably over-sprung, so working the spring by shooting it will weaken the spring which will allow for more slide play. If you were to drop the spring weight by just 2lbs, it will spit out casings an extra 5ft. Lighter loads could cause this too, but he ruled that out by going back to the problematic ammo with no issues after shooting it a while with different ammo. So that pretty much proves the gun needed a break in. If Glocks never came out of spec, then no one would ever have problems with their new guns, which we all no is bs.

The M&P is a much superior option right out the box

Nah Glock is perfect!!!

I had the same thing the first 200 rounds or so. Sounds like it just needs to be broken in. This is my first hand gun. It is intimating at first. Watching the youtube videos and take baby steps.

I've had quite a few glocks that had zero malfunctions from day one but I guess the gen 5 26 has tighter tolerances and just required a break in. After 400 rounds it hasn't malfunctioned since.

Thank you.

Good point!… You can use a Glock 17 magazine in a Glock 26 but you can’t use a Glock 26 magazine in a Glock 17.

Glock 26 gen 5 MOS is available here in Europe. it will probably be in the USA soon.

Whens that coming out?

EXACTLY

its a great gun but huge agaisnt the G26..

Just do a 19.

Yeah it does but you might need to switch frame to Gen 5.

I’ll take a Glock any day over the 365 and the hell cat. Track record is just too good

The 26 easily out shoots both. Their are trade offs and shoot ability is the biggest factor. Plus the huge aftermarket is no comparison. This is coming from a guy who loves to hate on Glocks. Love the 17 & the 26. Way overpriced and cut corners where they don’t need to.

Affirmative it will fit any gen 26 as long as its 9mm

@@tarrelljones4387 or 40sw

And yet they still sell lol Most ppl just stick with what they know... nothing wrong with that...

Dont mess with this guy and his perfect glock😂

People like options. If you can only afford one do all gun, this is a great option. Ccw and home defense. Most people like to have a light for home defense.

@@96stealth yea but but the g26 not having a rail is not a negative towards it. People need to realize there is not a do it all gun. Depending on the occasion and what you want to do that's how you can choose multiple guns

@@thelos8093 This is the mentality of if I don’t use it then why would anyone else? It’s become a standard feature on pistols, but this is what Glock does and always will do. They don’t cater to their customers. Theirs no reason for putting plastic sights on a gun other than to get more profit. They would have to invest money to add a rail. Define do all gun. Are you going to use a Glock to hunt deer? Probably not, but you could. Typically people have a bigger/higher capacity gun for home defense and a smaller/lower capacity gun for ccw. A G26 could have a mag capacity of 10-33 rounds or more with a drum. I shoot it as good as a 5” gun, so why would I carry a 5” gun when theirs really no benefit other than the rail? Which I don’t use for ccw but would for home defense. Not having a rail is a knock on the gun, because virtually everyone else offers it on their 3.5” double stack guns.

@@96stealth in regards to the plastic sights, Glock knows and everyone knows that 95% of glock owners will change the sights to their preferred brand. Those plastic sights will do the job, but if it was up to me, I would buy it without the sights. It would be way worst if they slap some trueglo and force you to pay 120 dollars and you get all pissed because you know as soon as you get it you might swap for trijicon or ameriglo. So I rather have the cheap plastic and let me decide what I want. About the rails, just because other manufacturers do it, that doesn't mean glock has to. They new 43x and 48 have light rails and red dot mos mounts. I personally have a pcc for the house

@@thelos8093 I agree that you most likely will not get good sights on a factory gun though there are exceptions. One of points I was making is that you are paying Glock a premium for plastic sights. So to me your argument is invalid. Glock should be giving us night sights or fiber optics for what they charge and offer features that people want. 3 generations of the G26 still no rail. A lot of people don’t like the plastic covered mags. The debacle with wether the slide stop can be used as a slide release. Glock said no. 🤷‍♂️ People for years have wanted shorter grips and longer slide combos. What about people who like shooting lead? Glock said you can’t or shouldn’t do that with their barrels. Their barrels have had unsupported chambers for years. It amazes me how Glock has such a good reputation, because of a lot of reasons. 3-5 years behind in innovation. Blame their customers for their mistakes. Don’t have a stellar reputation for customer service. Overprice their guns (Gaston actually admitted to this in one of his books). On and on. The funny thing is I love some of their guns, but pretty much hate their company. Bunch of cry babies that think they’re perfect. It’s their slogan minus the cry baby part. 😂 To each their own.

But shoots every time even sideways.

How?

43 and 43x

Obviously have no idea what your talking about.

Yeah.. clunky pieces of crap

Someone who owns larger glocks that has an abundance of compatible mags. Those who believe glocks have superior reliability. Those who like the variable size backstraps. There are many reasons someone would buy these, good and unreasonable. I'd think the largest being law enforcement who have the 26 on their list of acceptable duty/backup guns.

For a Glock Super Fanboy who doesn’t pay attention to the rest of the gun market and sheep buys every new model that comes out. Even glocks own 43x with 15 round magazine is better than this retro block.

@@jasswear8911 yes, but to the larger point of law enforcement, not every smaller gun is geared towards the personal conceal carry market. Also, good luck finding those 15 round mags for 43x these days.

Agreed. No rail or MOS option, horrible grip.

I went into Turners a couple of days ago looking for ammo. While I was there one of the clerks came back with a Glock 26 and announced it loudly to everyone in the store that the previous seller backed out of the sale, that it's extremely hard to find and it's up for grabs. I said I'll take it. Now I just need the carry permit. They seem hard to get. Can you walk me through how you got yours and how long it took? Any advice would be great. Thanks.

I have owned the Mighty Glock Gen 3 for over 11 years. I truly love and adore the Beast of a Weapon.
