GLOCK G26 9MM LUGER (9x19 PARA)

Description:
Guns Listing ID: 568442



Quick overview / role

Model: Glock 26

Caliber: 9×19mm Luger (9mm)

Role: Subcompact concealed-carry / backup pistol — designed to be small, snag-free, and reliable while still offering decent capacity and shootability for a tiny platform.

Nickname: Often called the “Baby Glock." Very popular with civilians and as a backup/duty option for law enforcement.

Design & operation

Action: Striker-fired, semi-automatic using Glock’s Safe Action system (three passive safeties: trigger safety, firing-pin safety, drop safety).

Operating system: Short-recoil, locked-breech (Browning tilting-barrel design).

Frame: Polymer frame with steel inserts; compact, rounded profile for concealment and pocket/ankle carry.

Intended use: Deep concealment, backup/duty backup, off-body carry (pocket/ankle), and everyday carry for those wanting minimal printing.

Representative factory specifications

(Values vary slightly by generation and production run; these are standard, commonly listed numbers.)

Caliber: 9×19mm Luger

Magazine capacity (standard): 10 + 1 (factory double-stack subcompact magazine)

Barrel length: 3.43 in (87 mm) (approx; compact/subcompact length)

Overall length: 6.41 in (163 mm) (approx)

Height (with magazine): 4.17 in (106 mm) (approx)

Width: 1.26 in (32 mm) (approx; typical Glock footprint width)

Unloaded weight: ~20 oz (˜567 g) (varies by generation and exact finish)

Sights: Factory three-dot dovetail sights (many owners swap to low-profile or night sights)

Accessory rail: No integral accessory rail on standard G26 (some aftermarket frames or hybrid models exist)

Trigger: Glock Safe Action striker system

Note: The G26’s subcompact footprint means dimensions vary slightly among gens (Gen3/Gen4/Gen5 differences mainly affect controls and ergonomics, not barrel length).

Generations & notable differences

Gen3 G26: Early common version — finger grooves on the grip, standard Glock controls.

Gen4 G26: Added modular backstrap options (small/medium/large), dual recoil-spring assembly, enlarged reversible mag release, more aggressive grip texture. Backstraps on G26 are smaller than on larger models but still useful for fit.

Gen5 G26 / G26 Gen5: Removed finger grooves, ambidextrous slide stop on some runs, improved Marksman-style rifling on some Gen5 barrels, refinements to internals and slide finish. Note: Glock released the G26 Gen5 in multiple variants (including G26 Gen5 MOS options on some runs).

Subvariants: Compact hybrid models (G26 with longer slides or G19 slides), G26X (crossover: G19 slide on G26 frame with G17 grip) — verify exact model when buying.

Controls & ergonomics

Magazine release: Standard on early gens; Gen4 introduced enlarged reversible release (useful on small frames).

Slide stop / takedown: Standard Glock procedure; Gen5 models may have ambidextrous slide stop.

Grip & backstraps: Small/medium/large backstraps on Gen4 (sized for subcompact frame); Gen5 removed finger grooves and refined texture.

Concealability: Very good — short height and short slide make it easy to conceal with minimal printing in most holster setups.

Magazines & ammunition

Factory mags: 10-round flush-fit magazines are standard in many jurisdictions; extended 12-, 15-, and 17-round magazines (G17/G19 mags) can be used but will extend below the grip; many users carry with a 17-round mag inserted for range use or carry with +2 extensions to improve purchase.

Interchangeability: G26 accepts G19 and G17 magazines (they fit but extend below the grip) — a common plus for flexibility.

Ammo: 9mm FMJ for practice; high-quality hollow points (HPR/JHP) for carry — test your chosen defensive ammo for reliable feeding in the subcompact. Subcompacts can be more sensitive to bullet profile and powder charge than full-size guns, so testing is important.

Handling, accuracy & performance

Recoil & controllability: More snappy recoil and muzzle flip than compact/full-size 9mm pistols due to lighter weight and shorter sight radius. However, for close-range defensive engagements the G26 is controllable with practice. Many shooters find follow-up shots require more training than with a G19/G17.

Accuracy: Adequate for self-defense distances (inside 25 yards). Short sight radius reduces potential precision — the platform is about point-and-shoot for defensive use.

Reliability: Glock reliability holds when the pistol is maintained and fed good magazines/ammo; some users report the need to try several defensive loads to find the most reliable options in a subcompact.
