I have been a Journeyman Machinist since 1994. There are a few things I have learned. When it comes to manufacturing, simple is better. The K.I.S.S. principle is a beautiful thing. Glocks are simple to use and maintain. They do not use 100 parts when 26 will do. The way they change their products but maintain the core concept is wonderful. Being former military I find their reliability a major plus. I trust my life and the lives of my loved ones to my Glocks. I own many, and plan to buy more. All of my other hand guns are put away. I am becoming a "Glock fanboy", and I am ok with that. God Bless.

Right now I have a Taurus model 85 .38 special revolver, and it is my very first handgun. I bought it because I only had $300 to spend and I do like revolvers, and I wanted a very small CCW gun, and it was on sale for 269$ at a local gun store. Although I like revolvers, if I would have had a bigger budget I would have definitely got a 9mm Glock, but at that time I hadn’t done much research so I had no idea about what model I wanted. Today that’s a different story, one of the many reasons I watched your video, and loved it by the way and will be subscribing, is because I’ve had my eye on the Glock 26 for a good amount of months now. The reasons I want the model 26 are pretty simple, I want the smallest concealed carry Glock 9mm without giving up the adaptability to use different mags and backstraps etc. Not to mention it’s small and it can still has a good amount of ammo in the stock clip. The Glock 43 is what most want for CCW and swear by. I don’t like the shorter ammo amount of the stock clip and especially don’t like that you lose all your adaptability when you have a 43, and the only difference size wise from my research is just like you said in your video, is the same length pretty much but it a thicker gun, which I don’t mind at all, and feel more comfortable with a thicker frame, as it seems to be stronger of a frame than the 43, but that’s just my opinion going by the looks. Anyway loved your video, can’t wait to see more and would love to know your thoughts on the Glock 26 for my second gun to have for a CCW, and first automatic I’ll own, and second handgun I’ll own, and by the way, I have small to medium hands with skinny fingers, so I think it’ll handle great. Loved the video, let me know your thoughts if you can. And sorry, where are my manners, my name is James Kenley Chastain, but I go by my middle name Kenley, but you can call me James or Kenley.

@@PatrickPierceBateman so I actually ended up purchasing the Glock 43x in all black. I've never owned my own pistol before, but I have shot several at a home made range on my family's land. And I have got to say, even with the lack of my experience on pistols.. I love this thing. It feels super beginner friendly. I applied proper grip onto the pistol and sight picture techniques I learned on youtune and my shot groups were pretty decent. It hit everywhere I was aiming at a distance of 5 to 20 yards. The grip could use a bit of texture. But it feels good in the hand. And the recoil is super manageable. I'm sorry this a long comment. But I just want to help explain my experience especially if you or anyone sees this and are still on the fence about what ccw you want. Around the same time my brother bought the glock 45..( which also a 9mm gun) I prefer my 43x. Smaller.. just as comfy to hold. Doesnt kick much more than the 45 and I was more accurate. Now for the issues I had. The 10 round magazine was a little tough to top off without the quick reload tool you get with the box. Or maybe I just have sissy hands lol. And I was shooting it at night.. FORGET ABOUT IT. with those stock white U /dot sights.. you cannot even see the gun in front of you. I'd recommend upgrading to a night sight of some sort. And I plan to also add the Tlr-6 light/laser combo on there too. Cheers brotha

Another great review video Sootch. I am glad that Glock finally came out with the Gen 5 and having an ambi slide release. I am a left handed/left eye dominate (right handed for everything else) shooter and find that helpful and one of the reasons why I bought a Smith & Wesson M&P Pro C.O.R.E in .40 cal instead of the Glock was for the ambi features and it's made in the U.S.A. I am thinking of getting a concealed carry and the M&P Shield, G26 Glock and SA XD9 among a few others are options. So this Gen 5 will help in that regard. I also hope that the Gen 5s are available in more than 9mm as stated about the 2 pin design, because I would absolutely LOVE to get a Glock Model 40 M.O.S. Long Slide 10MM in the Gen 5 for a badass range gun, hunting semi handgun and bear country open carry protection piece (yes I know that a 44 mag and up revolver would be better, but they are heavy for just a protection piece, even though I do want one for hunting bear, boar, etc in the future). God Bless America and Long Live the Republic!

I'm not a gun enthusiast, nor a collector. I'm John Q US citizen, working/commuting 48 per week, paying the bills, raising the kids, loving the wife. --- My used Gen I Glock (purchased circa 1990) still hammers away during practice each month, year in, year out. My G26 G4... I keep its oil changed... and it has NEVER failed, not once. There is not one good reason to "innovate" a tried and true creation. -------- Sootch, I've been watching/with you since 2009. I hope to catch up with you one day to tell you my story. Keep on keeping on. Long live The Republic.

Carried a Glock 22 from 1990 till 2009 during my LE career! I never had a single malfunction. I am now retired and carry a model 26 gen 4, but plan on buying a gen 5 after watching this video. Another well done video sir!

I'm a Glock lover too . Got my first G17 in 1986 for a contract job I had and it never let me down . I have converted that one into a rifle with a 16 inch barrel and like it better than the AR's I have in 556 and 308 . A better frame i think . My Gen 5 model 26 now has a TLR6 LIGHT/LASER on it which I really enjoy . I really enjoy your programs . Keep up your good work . Hope you have a great year .

I just picked up a gen 5 revision 2 today. It’s a USA build but I’ll learn the live with it... I prefer the Austrian print. I know... I know... first world problems. I’m torn on the actual usage of the front serrations that the gen5 revision adds on such a short gun... but I prefer them tbh. Thanks for your reviews on this gun. It helped me tip the scale towards actually making the plunge. Will go great with my g19, g45, and my wife’s 43x. Here’s to hoping she doesn’t claim the g26 as her own! Lol

I also have pretty large hands and can shoot the G26 easily and accurately. This pistol is so reliable, compact to carry, and easy to take care of that it’s baffling. You can also set it on your nightstand at night with any size double stack Glock magazine you’d like. Cannot beat it!

I have carried mine for five years now as my CC. I do carry with the pinky extensions - the basic magazine - I hate the no pinky grip . Eats all ammo - but I do not shoot steel. Mine is a Gen 3 grip sucks - slick - I had a slip on rubber grip to enhance it - now I need to get some tape. Love the fact that I can put my Glock 17 and 19 magazines in it.

I bought a Gen 5 Glock a couple of weeks ago in order to have the same pistol as one of my business partners who's new to shooting. I was pleasantly surprised at how accurately it shot, especially at 10 yards. I totally agree that not having a pinkie finger grip was a non-issue. I have ordered and received 2 magazines with +2 extensions and will be testing them shortly and will be interested to see if I find a difference in accuracy. It is definitely a winner! Like you I own a number of different pistols, including several subcompacts, so I'm no Glock Fanboy either. Double thumbs up! Thanks for the excellent review sir!

Great review, as always. G26-4 has been my EDC for five years, and I love it, but I'm going to add the gen 5 to my collection. I already have the G19-5 and consider it an improvement over the G19-4 so this is a no brainer. The new barrel not only improves accuracy it comes clean easier for some reason.

I have had a Model 30 since 2002 or so and it is the smoothest 45ACP I have ever owned. I owned a Colt Government, a Detonics and several off market 45s and I can consistently hit targets well with the Glock. I also had a Glock 19 in 40 SW and it was very accurate and smooth operating also, even though I personally didn’t like 40 SW. I’m looking at a Model 26 or a Model 43 for concealed carry. Thanks for the good info. I was looking at a Beretta APX, but I’m sold on the Model 26 Gen 5.

After the trigger guard undercut, I really like mine. Finger grooves and trigger guards have always been a problem for me with Glocks. Once all that has been addressed, I really like them. And being a hefty guy, wearing the Glock 23 with 9mm conversion barrel is a lot more comfortable carry. GLock, CZ and Ruger are great!
