Plus, the front of the firearm is now beveled for easier reholstering. The slide has factory serrations on the front and back. The slide release on the GLOCK 26 is ambidextrous and the magazine catch is reversible. The G26 comes with the same popular upgrades of all Generation 5 GLOCK pistols like a beveled magwell, the Glock Marksman Barrel, and overall elimination of leaf springs, which have since been replaced by new coil spring designs for increased longevity and reliability.
The G26 accepts magazines from the larger 9mm GLOCK family (G19 and G17). IMHO, based on my personal experience, the G26 is not as reliable as the larger models.The GLOCK® 26 Gen5 9mm Semi-Auto Pistol is the choice firearm of many law enforcement professionals to be used as a back-up subcompact firearm or for concealed carry. None of my G19 or G17 pistols experienced these types of malfunctiions. I also experimented with the extended 33 Rd magazines in the super short grip of the G26, and again malfunctions occurred as the longer magazine rocked away in the too short grip channel. Some weird shooting positions, especially one handed, created malfunctions. I also found in practice that the G26 was overly sensitive to “limp wristing”, with failures to cycle unless a solid grip was used. On the high round count stages I was constantly re-establishing my grip, and my scores reflected the inconsistencies in grip. I found the too short grip of the G26 squirmed in my hand. However, shooting an entire match with a G26, with several stages requiring a dozen rds or more, this reduction was even more noticeable. Practice scores with a G19 and a G17 were actually quite close. While was very comfortable shooting the G26 for short practice sessions, I noted a big reduction in my scores from when doing identical drills with my G19 and G17. This was a ” valuable learning experience”. Just for fun, I once competed in an IPSC match using a G26. I have owned a few dozen different Glocks, including some G26 models. Missing in the Gen 5 are finger grooves, which are redundant with the new grip pattern. The Gen 5 also includes a new dot pattern on the grip, backstrap, and front strap for a better hold, ambidextrous slide stops, and a new slide finish, called nDLC, for protection from corrosion and wear. The Gen 5 features the Glock Marksman Barrel with enhanced right-hand polygonal rifling and an improved barrel crown.
In 2018, Glock introduced the Gen 5 Glock 26. Glock periodically pushes out new versions of its handguns, conservatively adding new features when they become available. The “Baby Glock” G26 will also take the Glock 19’s fifteen-round magazine, the Glock 17’s seventeen-round magazine, and even Glock’s submachine gun-sized thirty-three-round stick magazine without modification. But it does have the ability to gain back that firepower at the expense of carry-ability if the user so wishes. The Glock 26 trades magazine capacity for compactness. (Some individuals find the Glock subcompact’s grip a little too short, and for them, there are inexpensive thirty-party grip extensions that provide a larger grip surface.) In keeping the grip short, the Glock 26 lacks a flared mag-well. The Glock 26, on the other hand, takes ten nine-millimeter rounds in a double-stack magazine, all while remaining just over an inch wide and maintaining a relatively short grip. Another, the Beretta Nano, carries eight nine-millimeter Luger rounds. One competitor, the Smith & Wesson M&P Bodyguard, can store just six. The Glock 26 magazine system is the largest and most versatile class. The Glock 26 takes a ten-round double-stack magazine, while the Glock 17 takes a seventeen-round magazine. The Glock 26 weighs 21.71 ounces unloaded, a quarter-pound less than the Glock 17, and weighs even less loaded due to the smaller magazine. The Glock 26, at 6.41 inches, is more than an inch and a half shorter than the Glock 17. However, it is essential to note that the dimensions and ammunition capacity of the two guns diverge in separate-but equally applicable-directions.

FULL AUTO GLOCK 26 MANUAL
From manual operation to feel, the Glock 26 is the same gun. All of this is important as it allows new or existing gun users to pick up a larger Glock 17 (or Glock 19) as a first gun and then purchase a smaller Glock 26 without learning the ins and outs of a new firearm. At 1.18 inches, both guns are even the same width.
Both have the same 5.5-pound trigger pull with half-inch trigger travel. Both are nine-millimeter Luger handguns, and they both use the same striker-fired operating system, known as “Safe Action.” The company designed the gun’s three internal safeties so that the gun owner must disengage them to fire the weapon. A comparison between the Glock 17 and Glock 26 is illustrative.
