I agree with ldunlap – the Glock is surprisingly light and easy to handle! I’ve shot it for hours without fatigue. But some aftermarket grips can greatly improve comfort.
What kind of modifications do you all suggest for improving grip comfort? I love how it performs but think a few tweaks could make it perfect.
Have you tried the Talon grips? They make a world of difference in comfort for extended sessions!
The Glock 26 is definitely a workhorse. I’ve had mine for years and it’s reliable, but after an extended shoot, my hand does get a little tired. A grip sleeve might be just the solution!
I’ve found that adjusting my grip helps reduce fatigue. The weight is quite manageable; it’s just about finding the right way to hold it for extended periods.
That’s true! I always recommend taking breaks during long sessions. It really makes a difference in comfort and performance.

Can’t believe how much love there is for the Glock 26! It’s not a five-star gun for everyone, but for me, it’s perfect for concealed carry. No need for a bigger gun!

I always thought comfort was just a buzzword until I experienced the Glock 26. It felt like shooting a nine-millimeter pillow! But then again, my wife thinks I’m crazy.

Haha! I can relate to that! I think comfort is key in firearms, especially if we are using them for a long time.

I’ve owned the Glock 26 for about three years now. It’s compact and easy to carry. I love the reliability and how it fits comfortably in my hand, even for extended periods.
Have you compared it to something like the Smith & Wesson M&P Shield? I find the Shield to be equally reliable and a bit thinner for concealed carry.
The Glock 26 is fantastic, but the capacity can be a bit limiting compared to others. I often carry the Sig P365, which holds more rounds without being much bigger.

Good point! I’ve read that some prefer the Glock 43 for its size and slightly better concealability.
Honestly, for the price, the Glock 26 is hard to beat regarding quality and durability. Plus, you can get aftermarket support easily. Just consider your needs!

I completely agree! And despite being a bit chunky, the Glock’s ergonomics are generally very user-friendly.

I’ve had no issues with the Glock 26. I love how low recoil it has, making it a great option for new shooters. This makes it a winner in the subcompact category for me.
User-friendliness is key! How does it stack up against the Walther PPS M2, though?
The Walther has a nice trigger, but some might say it lacks the ruggedness of a Glock. Ultimately, it boils down to personal preference and what you value more in a pistol.
I think the Glock just has that reputation for a reason. It’s reliable, and parts are everywhere. Sometimes, you pay for the name, but with Glock, you get performance too.
Performance aside, I sometimes wonder if people are devoted to it just for the branding. Any thoughts?
