Hey everyone. I'm new to Handguns and bout my first one last week. Glock 26 Gen4. Good to be part of the family!
Hello, Miay, and WELCOME to the Forum! Congrats on your '26 (I carry an older model 26, too, and I love it!). Have you fired it already? You will find lotsa ideas here on things you can do to your Glock!
No haven't had time to fire it yet. I shot my buddy's at the range and that's what inspired me to go with the 26... He has both a 26 and 27 but I felt more comfortable with the 9mm round.
Welcome Welcome to the forum! I have a 26 also. Great gun and is my trusty sidearm. Great place for info and to hang out. Enjoy.
If after shooting a couple hundred rounds or so thru your '26, you feel the grip is lacking, consider getting Pearce grip extensions. They replace the magazine buttplate and provide a convenient pink finger rest. Some models add to the magazine capacity (there are Pearce +2 and Pearce +3 grip extensions). Oh, and buy lotsa ammo!
Thanks! Yeah I actually felt that when I test shot my buddy's so I bought the grip extensions when I picked the gun up. The guy recommended the Pearce ones as well. Great stuff guys!
@Miay0187: You may want to consider that you can also use full-size G19 and G17 magazines in your G26 (just make sure they are Gen4 magazines). For ideas, check out my thread on extended magazines and sleeves here: https://www.glockforum.com/forum/f11/opinions-extended-mag-adapters-1003/
I find I like shooting without the extension because it pinched my finger. At 25 ft I have no trouble getting a 4" grouping. Why does that make me happy? Because I know if I aim at something I'm certainly going to hit it. It takes some practice but I really enjoy shooting my 26!
I like the pinkie extension... Just makes it a little more comfortable for me... I think I want to go with a 23 gen4 for my next... Just to have a piece with the .40 cal punch
