        Editor’s Note: "The Glock 26 is affectionately known as the “baby Glock.” This 6.41-inch long sub-compact handgun is the smallest of Glock’s 9mm models.  And while it’s a great concealed carry gun, the G26’s small size makes the handgun difficult to handle for people with large hands. The G26 didn’t get the nickname “baby Glock” for no reason – it’s tiny. When Glock released the G26 Gen 4, they added two great features — adjustable backstraps and a magazine-release button that’s easier to access. While these modifications helped make the handgun easier to handle, the gun’s small size may take some getting used to. Like with other Glock products, the “baby Glock” is designed to be just as durable and accurate as its predecessors. It comes with a 10-round magazine, so you don’t get as much firepower as you would with bigger 9mm Glocks. Don’t let the size fool you though, the G26 is just as strong as full-sized 9mms. The G26 is designed for one primary purpose: concealed carry. If you’re looking for a gun that’s guaranteed to be comfortable and easy to lug around, you won’t find a better match. Its small size makes the G26 the best gun for shooters who need compactness over versatility." - <strong><em>Brandon Harville</em></strong> &nbsp; &nbsp;

        FINAL VERDICT

        If you're committed to the Glock brand, but don't want the G43 or G43x for whatever reason, the Glock 26 presents another option. Chambered in 9mm, it's a bare bones polymer pistol built on the reliable Glock platform. As a backup gun or CCW option, it excels -- although, it might too small for some.

        I have a Gen 5 Glock 26 that has served me fairly well. I have found the gun to be reliable for me, but it is extremely sensitive to limp-wristing. When other people have fired it without a very firm grip, it has exhibited some malfunctions. I feel like modern micro-compacts fulfill the same role better, but it is nice to have compatibility with every size Glock magazine out there.

        Have used my G27 (30+ years) or G26 (5+ years), plus at least one extra mag, as an LEO backup and/or EDC. Their standard mags are fitted with Pearce 2-round extension grips. As an option I also have G23 and G19 Mags with X-Grip sleeves. I practice regularly with both and find them to be totally reliable, accurate, and easy to carry using various ankle or IWB holsters.
