As far as "lack of innovation" if it's not broke don't fix it. Personally it's comforting to know that when I pick up a Glock it's familiar. I can shoot it right out of the box. There's a reason why I keep coming back to them, THEY WORK! Thanks Sootch00
Spot on Jerrid! Thanks Brother and Congrats on being 1st to comment! Lol!
Jerrid Gossett The only thing that needs fixing is enlarging the trigger well. I don't carry Glock in the winter because of this issue.
Boom!! Right on the money
Hey sootch, not sure if ya follow football...but ROLL TIDE!!! Yea this Pennsylvania boy is a Bama fan haha
Hay Seed I would say factory steel sights too. But I live in SC where usually mechanics gloves work more then fine. It's a non issue for me. If you live in the colder states I would completely agree. That's why Tim at MAC quit carrying his 19.
Just picked up a 26 gen 5 yesterday. What a great shooting pistol! Fits great in my hand, just performs terrifically. Thanks for the great review all these years later; really helpful to someone new to the compact 9mm/ conceal carry world like me.
Glock 26, the best concealed carry gun which comes with three 10-Round magazines.
It's also compatible with Glock 19 and Glock 17 magazines.
And those 33 round mags as well
I carry with the 12 round magazine
@@chipkipperly3904 I carry with a drum magazine.
Those of you EDC with 30 mags & drums aren't very smart. The point of this type of hand gun is concealment. NOT open carry. You're totally missing the purpose of its size.
@@HavocQPandemoniumOffical 🤣🤣🤣🤣😲😁
They're just being silly and looking to get a raise out of you. Of course it's silly. They're also in mommy's basement with dirty underpants. Ignore them, they'll have a sudden discharge😳 and not from their GLOCK😢😲🤣👎
I have been a LEO for 36 years. When I started watching your videos I changed my approach to training. I shoot twice a month instead of twice a year. My equipment is cleaner and I have a better understanding of the mechanics of shooting!! Thanks
Hope the training has paid off and you've stayed safe out there.
that is good to hear..... im a gunsmith and i shoot a lot with the LEO around my area as i have a lot of family in LE and it has always terrified me to see most of them shoot.... some of them only shoot a handful of times per year and couldnt shoot to save their life much less someone else's in a high adrenaline situation
I have been a Journeyman Machinist since 1994. There are a few things I have learned. When it comes to manufacturing, simple is better. The K.I.S.S. principle is a beautiful thing. Glocks are simple to use and maintain. They do not use 100 parts when 26 will do. The way they change their products but maintain the core concept is wonderful. Being former military I find their reliability a major plus. I trust my life and the lives of my loved ones to my Glocks. I own many, and plan to buy more. All of my other hand guns are put away. I am becoming a "Glock fanboy", and I am ok with that. God Bless.
I’ve been building a dildo machine in my basement.
I purchased a Gen 5 Glock 26 based on your review. Thanks!
Hopefully train & carry what would use it for ??
ᄋᄋ Guns aren’t just for killing people 🙄. For some like me it’s a hobby, I love shooting and collecting firearms...
Liar
@@jalenwealthy4115 Jalen your just an idiot who likes to run his mouth and stir the pot!! You probably don't own a gun, have never fired a gun and don't know the difference between a Glock and a TS12.
It only fires if horizontal? What if you're on the ground and have to shoot up? Did I understand him right?
"Let's keep Glock, Glock. If you don't like it, buy something else."
Well said, my man.
Uncle Hulka indeed
That's exactly what I did lol
@@billybob042665 I purchased a Taurus G-2-C and I love this weapon, 100 rounds in a lifetime? I'll fire 1000 rounds on a Saturday afternoon. The 12+1 feature is what sold me on this compact, that and the fit & finish. I purchased the stainless steel version,
it's a nice companion piece to my Taurus PT-1911...
Vreau sa cumpar si eu unul
Un pistol vreau sa cumpar ce pret are
It's called Glock perfection for a reason. You don't change perfection
Pursuit of perfection
It’s Budget perfection that works, Perfection of a Handgun would be The Atlas Erebus or Atlas Artemis.
I bought my Glock 26 in 1996 and have carried it almost daily with 1000's of rounds through it. Recently bought the Magpull 12 round magazines that had a little lip on the bottom. I really like them. Started carrying Magpull G19 mags with the G26 12 round mags and put the G17 mags in the safe. Good review.
Glock is reliable because Glock is simple. When I really need a gun, the SIGs and HKs stay in the safe, I feel more confident with my Glocks. They always work.
I wouldn't be grabbing a handgun anyways if I'm at home
SIG and HK are both used by militaries around the world. If it's good enough for the military it should be good enough for a civilian that won't put the gun through nowhere near the same abuse
Gunsquawk 44 I trust my Hk the same if not more than my Glock .
Agreed. Their reliability comes at least in part, from their simplicity.
The rest of it comes from some amazing engineering and precision execution in the manufacturing process.
Me too..I have sigs and smith and wesson m&p 2.0 but my go too are my glocks..its just reliable..
I just bought the 26 Gen 5. Wow I am really impressed. I was sold on the gen 3 and didn't think I would ever buy another Gen. I am glad GLOCK nailed it with the 26.
I just won a Glock at a recent GSSF match so I chose the Gen 5 G26. Looking forward to getting it. Thanks for another great video!
I prefer Sigs but, for me, the G26 is the finest CCW handgun ever designed by men or angels.
My Sig P320 45 is strictly for home defense.
I agree, Ive carried my Sig 938 rosewood for yrs but trust my Gen 4 G26 as edc with Pearce grip extensions on 10 rnd. mags. Using my G17,G19, mags plus 33 round factory mags.#Glock
Honesty. Different but I like it lol. I like all that fit my hand and shoot well. Do love my 26
A glock 19 still shoots better #compactgang
I carried a Glock 23 for 20 of my 36 years in law enforcement, and carried a G27 off duty. Today, as a retired L.E. officer, I carry a Glock 43. I always felt that my Glocks could meet any threat I may encounter either on duty, or off, and I still feel that way today. They are utterly reliable, and utterly deadly.
Not to be in any of your business but would you care to share if there was an incident of which you ever had to use them? Just curious!
Thks for your feedback & service!👏👏👍
I've been carrying a G26 as a back-up and off-duty and now as a retired police officer, since 1996 or so. I love this gun! It is accurate and reliable. I love the "no bells and whistles" characteristics of this little gun. It's all business and just works great. Like you, I usually carry it with the +2 extension, but the rest is all stock.
@@robletto841 Thank you!
This is what I’m looking at for my first pistol. Great review, thank you!
Thanks for the review. I will look into adding this as my back up to my Gen 4 19. I love the Glock products. Take care and God Bless
Just a great, spot on review. Thank you. I'll go with the Glock 26 & 19. Perfection.
I bought a G26 precisely because I have (and definitely like) a G19.
Your videos and Hickok45 videos are my ‘goto’ videos for firearm reviews! I learn so much from both of you and have purchased firearms from both videos. Thank you sootch!
Today I bought my first handgun, and this is it. Due in large part to your outstanding videos, you helped me make an informed choice. I loved shooting this gun and I’m looking forward to honing my skills through continued training and range time. Thanks for your great work and dedication.
That gen 5 is such a beauty!! I really like the finish of the new Gen 5 Glocks. I agree, don't change too much. Not much you can change if it is already perfect anyway. I like it!
I’ve recently decided to take on the responsibility to ccw and trying to decide which gun to pick. You’re videos are well done, well informed, and great to watch. Thanks for all the work.
Just picked up one of these the other day for my new concealed carry! I added the Pearce Grip +2 mag extension for mine!
I love my new Gen 5 / G26....my first Glock and I get it now. I'll be getting the Gen 5 / G19 & G17 very soon. Being left handed the Glock Gen 5 slide stop-release actually works properly, and easily...makes this my new favorite.
4yrs after release, g26 gen 5 is my first gun. I love it.
Mine too. Put a Crimson Trace laser on it. Bought a Vaultek safe for it. Awesome!
now the question i check ebay there are chrome slides but only for 1 2 3 4 gens should i buy put on gen 5? i mean it will fit it? or am i gonna go through some issues?
Picked up my new G26 Gen 5 last week...solid and perfect in every way!
Don't have the Gen 5 yet, but the 26 Gen 4 is my ccw. The ability to carry concealed with G19, G17, or even the 33 round back-up mags can't be beat. Love the versatility of the baby glock. Great review.
I have been carrying a g43 for ccw but even with a magazine extender I found it difficult to shoot well consistently. I recently picked up a gen5 26 and was amazed at how much easier it is to shoot well ...you are spot on about the accuracy, improved trigger, etc. I don't notice the extra thickness and weight over the g43 really. .plus I can use the Glock mags from my gen 4 g34 . Picked up a couple 12 round Glock factory mags and a crossbreed super tuck so I'm good to go! Thanks for a great review!
19:45; that's the most important point that you've made with regard to how certain people view Glock's place in the shooting world. Well said.
Glocks are perfect and I don't want them to make a lot of changes for the sake of change. The 26 and the 19 are the two guns that I recommend to my friends and newbie students. The Gen5 26 and the 19X are fabulous, and that's all there is to it.
Thanks. I appreciate your reviews. I’m carrying my 26.5 right now and usually do. Had it since mid-2018.
I've had my CC license since last summer, I'm glad I waited till now so that I can purchase this new design. Very good information and excellent job showing how to shoot. I'm glad Glock enables upgrading with night sights.
Best review of a gun I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing this with us. Greetings from Brazil!!!
My 3 favorite Glock Models..... 19, 26, and 30.
Bought my 2nd gen 4 G26, that's how much I love these. They are FANTASTIC guns. You never have reliability issues. I also carry a Sig 1911, and the glock runs like a swiss watch.
Got one today after watching your great review. Thank you!
The most important thing in my mind is it’s reliability-I have trusted my very life to this platform(G19 and 26) for 28 years-first as an issued weapon in the military(SFCDU) and now the SP in my state.Over 500,000 rounds fired total and I never once have had a malfunction that was contributed to the weapon.Some of the magazines while loaded for long periods would fail to lock open on the last round,but never a failure-saltwater,sand,mud,dirt,etc-never.
That's quite an endorsement.
@@IamDoogy sorry it took so long to get back-it’s just truth.I have no qualms trusting my life to a Glock.They have never failed me.I may treat them better than most because I clean my weapons weekly whether they’re fired or not,because they’re invariably carried in all weather,but I do clean them.Still, they eat what you feed them and never malfunction.
I'm a revolver fan, but I'm pretty sure the 26 will be my next purchase. Thanks for the review!
I just bought my 3rd Glock 26 in the last 6 years. I always come back to this model. Glock 26 Gen 5 FS this time. Keeping this one.
Great review sootch. Most importantly, I like the way you stick to your guns, pun intended. In today's day and age there are literally hundreds of choices for handguns and or concealed gun options, there should never be a ongoing nagging complaint about a particular manufacturer. That being said, continue to bring us these grade informative videos and keeping them real.
I just found that, being a male 5 10 height, 170 pounds
that the glock 26 with the extended mag its the perfect fit for me
thanks sootch!
Thank you
After you review I bought my first glock. After a week I loved it so much that I went out and bought a glock 17 & 19x I love them. So again thank you
You got some good guns!
Awsome video, Scotch! I find myself coming to your videos when I want to see a good video on a gun I'm going to buy. The finish is wonderful on the Gen 5. Thanks for the video. I can see the muzzle has been fit more closely now and it's a great little gun.. I'll pick one up in a few weeks. Keep up the great videos!
This is the second time I watch one of your videos and I must say I love them. Most definitely earned my sub.
Sootch, your gun handling is just superb. Great overview
Excellent and informative video. What made Glock great will keep Glock great. I love the uniformity between models and calibers. I like the fact that the feel and muscle memory with one Glock will carry over to the next. I am glad Glock doesn't listen to the naysayers and keeps producing the same quality firearm year after year.
All your videos are very detailed and informative. Thanks for sharing. Saludos from Puerto Rico.
I bought my first Glock a Gen5 G17 2 weeks ago and I just shot it yesterday. Put 150 rounds through it and it ran like a well a Glock should. I love it.
Sootch good review brother. I've got a gen 3 26 myself and an M&P 9C the Smith & Wesson version of it. Great review great handgun. And I'm not a Glock Fanboy but I happen to have this model in the 3rd generation and agree it's a great pistol. Keep up the good work.
David Wright both of those are great Guns... What do they chronograph with the shorter barrel?
Another great review video Sootch. I am glad that Glock finally came out with the Gen 5 and having an ambi slide release. I am a left handed/left eye dominate (right handed for everything else) shooter and find that helpful and one of the reasons why I bought a Smith & Wesson M&P Pro C.O.R.E in .40 cal instead of the Glock was for the ambi features and it's made in the U.S.A. I am thinking of getting a concealed carry and the M&P Shield, G26 Glock and SA XD9 among a few others are options. So this Gen 5 will help in that regard. I also hope that the Gen 5s are available in more than 9mm as stated about the 2 pin design, because I would absolutely LOVE to get a Glock Model 40 M.O.S. Long Slide 10MM in the Gen 5 for a badass range gun, hunting semi handgun and bear country open carry protection piece (yes I know that a 44 mag and up revolver would be better, but they are heavy for just a protection piece, even though I do want one for hunting bear, boar, etc in the future). God Bless America and Long Live the Republic!
What i like about the Glock, is the simplicity of them. Now i just got my first one and that's a 43 x, i have different guns like the M&P their just simple,and they work.
I have a Gen 4 and could not be happier, love that little thing.
As much as I loved my Glock 26 Gen 3, I had no problem selling it after I purchased my G43. I also sold my G19 which use to be my Duty Weapon after I retired and I now have a G43 & G48 which have now become my EDC guns and I love them both! No more double stack guns for me because these single stack slim single stack models fit my hand much better and they are easier to carry all day!
Glock is a solid, reliable pistol. Thank you for such good, positive reviews with good insight. Your explanations regarding other firearm platforms and the simple changes made over the years was a seriously good point!
Thank you.
Great review Uncle Sootch! As always.. Hopefully i'll be getting a carry piece this year and I'm seriously considering the Glock 26 Gen 5 because of the ambi slide release. Thought about the 1911 .45 acp (because my uncle have one, and it shoots well) but i just find it heavy for edc at work, as I am just a small guy. Hopefully it will be available here in the Philippines too at a fair price point by the time Im all set for picking up my first carry piece. Keep the excellent reviews coming! Cheers!
Much more thorough review than others on RUclips. Thanx!
I carry my Glock G26 Gen 4 every day. I have started using the Magpul G26 mags for concealed carry and a Factory G17 mag in my pocket. I'm going to continue to carry my G26, I think the gen 5 is great. I may buy one of them because of the barrel. Thanks for the review Sootch.
Agreed, my Gen4 G26 w/Pearce grip extentions on 10 rnd. mags edc will be hard to beat and tried G43 selling it quickly. G17,G19, 33 rnd. factory mags all run perfect too!#GlockPerfection@ James ES44AC-2
Love my Gen 3. Picked it up 2 weeks ago brand new in box for $400. Tack driver
So is the gen 3 better than gen 5 ?
I’m buying a Gen5 G26 in a couple days. I’m pretty excited. I’ve been carrying my G19 for 4yrs and although I’m used to it I’m ready for something smaller and a little lighter. Lol. Thanks for the video and all the info man. Greatly appreciated
Nice and thorough. Thank you for the time you spent putting this vid together.
I have a Glock 43 Gen 4 and just recently purchased the Glock 26 Gen 5 and I absolutely love it! This thing can shoot right out of the box! It's accurate and very little recoil compared to other sub compacts. I love my Glock 26 Gen 5.
This is my new favorite pistol. I have owned 125 pistols in the past ten years. I dropped a ghost connector in mine! What a sweet shooter.
My edc.
You owned HOW MANY??? Haha cool
I'm a Glock lover too . Got my first G17 in 1986 for a contract job I had and it never let me down . I have converted that one into a rifle with a 16 inch barrel and like it better than the AR's I have in 556 and 308 . A better frame i think . My Gen 5 model 26 now has a TLR6 LIGHT/LASER on it which I really enjoy . I really enjoy your programs . Keep up your good work . Hope you have a great year .
I’ve owned so many Glock’s since 2012, CZs like the PCR, Sig Sauer P229, M&P Shield, etc etc, but I just keep coming back to Glock
I live in a free state, but I still prefer Gen 3 just because the first Glock I ever used was a Gen 3 and I've never seen any reason to change since then.
I got a PA Glock 26 and I carry a 15 round magazine and it really feels just like the 19 honestly
P80
Your videos are excellent and very helpful to those looking for a cc firearm. Great video and love your comparisons. Thanks!
Very thorough, and fun-to-watch review. I do enjoy you channel.
Amen brother. I hate when people bad mouth a product, when there are so many options out there. Buy a different gun for crying out loud. Glock is one of only a hand full that I trust with my life right out of the box.
Thanks Kenny!
Great review, as always. G26-4 has been my EDC for five years, and I love it, but I'm going to add the gen 5 to my collection. I already have the G19-5 and consider it an improvement over the G19-4 so this is a no brainer. The new barrel not only improves accuracy it comes clean easier for some reason.
I’ve been concealed carrying a Glock 26 gen 3 for over 5 years. Fantastic pistol. Zero failures of any kind and I shoot a lot.
My next purchase for sure brother!! I can always count on your channel for great reviews. Thanks bro.
It's what I carry . It's on me now
The two dislikes are Dianne Fienstien and Michael Bloomberg
Mission accomplished : )
And there is 9 more gun grabbers who disliked the video
And Chuck Schumer
there is now 15 lol
sootch00...The new glock models are ok but I always go with Gen 3 glocks🙄
Your videos are the most complete covering of all. On this Glock 26 Gen 5 it's the best of the best. I got my Glock 26 G5 two weeks ago. Your video help me to decide.
Nice review. Better barrel and trigger alone makes this great improvement. Nice to know other generations are still there too for the people who like them
Right now I have a Taurus model 85 .38 special revolver, and it is my very first handgun. I bought it because I only had $300 to spend and I do like revolvers, and I wanted a very small CCW gun, and it was on sale for 269$ at a local gun store. Although I like revolvers, if I would have had a bigger budget I would have definitely got a 9mm Glock, but at that time I hadn’t done much research so I had no idea about what model I wanted. Today that’s a different story, one of the many reasons I watched your video, and loved it by the way and will be subscribing, is because I’ve had my eye on the Glock 26 for a good amount of months now. The reasons I want the model 26 are pretty simple, I want the smallest concealed carry Glock 9mm without giving up the adaptability to use different mags and backstraps etc. Not to mention it’s small and it can still has a good amount of ammo in the stock clip. The Glock 43 is what most want for CCW and swear by. I don’t like the shorter ammo amount of the stock clip and especially don’t like that you lose all your adaptability when you have a 43, and the only difference size wise from my research is just like you said in your video, is the same length pretty much but it a thicker gun, which I don’t mind at all, and feel more comfortable with a thicker frame, as it seems to be stronger of a frame than the 43, but that’s just my opinion going by the looks. Anyway loved your video, can’t wait to see more and would love to know your thoughts on the Glock 26 for my second gun to have for a CCW, and first automatic I’ll own, and second handgun I’ll own, and by the way, I have small to medium hands with skinny fingers, so I think it’ll handle great. Loved the video, let me know your thoughts if you can. And sorry, where are my manners, my name is James Kenley Chastain, but I go by my middle name Kenley, but you can call me James or Kenley.
I sold my G43( wasnt enough for me) using the G26(Gen4) w/Pearce grip extensions on 10 round mags. It uses my G17,G19, and 33 rnd factory mags. I have Sig 938 Rosewood also but G26 feels it was made for me. G26 was $500 Sig 938 was $699 so its a no brainer!#G26#GlockPerfection@James Chastain
The fact that they released the G27 Gen 5 etc with the 2 pins (as opposed to the prior 3 pins) shows that Glock has made unpublished *internal* modifications to the handguns, that strengthened the structure, and removed the need for 3 pins.
I bought a Gen 5 Glock a couple of weeks ago in order to have the same pistol as one of my business partners who's new to shooting. I was pleasantly surprised at how accurately it shot, especially at 10 yards. I totally agree that not having a pinkie finger grip was a non-issue. I have ordered and received 2 magazines with +2 extensions and will be testing them shortly and will be interested to see if I find a difference in accuracy. It is definitely a winner! Like you I own a number of different pistols, including several subcompacts, so I'm no Glock Fanboy either. Double thumbs up! Thanks for the excellent review sir!
Loved the video so much I went out and brought a G26 Gen 5.. Also making plans to buy a G19 Gen 5.. Guess you can tell I am a Glock Fanboy.. Love the channel brother keep it going..
I love my G42! you can have innovation, I want a G36 because I think the next evolution of Glock is the single stack like the G42 G43 and G36! :)
Great video Sootch. My EDC is the Glock 27 Gen 3. I have no plans to change. I love the Gen 3 in .40 cal. I wouldn't mind adding one of these to my collection though. .
When I was a real little kid way back in the 50's, I had a clear green plastic squirt gun. And I swear, it was identical in design to the Glock pistol.
Carried a Glock 22 from 1990 till 2009 during my LE career! I never had a single malfunction. I am now retired and carry a model 26 gen 4, but plan on buying a gen 5 after watching this video. Another well done video sir!
I really like your reviews...I'm basically a 1911/2011 pistol affectioner , but have 5 Glocks and carry a 19 or 26 everyday! Really love the 26 as a pocket pistol.
Love my gen 3 g26 great gun.
Great review! I'm new to the Glock world and only have Gen 5's but have found I really like them. The triggers really surprised me. I like the feel of them better than the triggers my S&W Shield Performance Centers. Some of my shooting friends agree, some don't. The best part about having Glocks now is having so many guns that can use the same magazines. Having G19's, G26, Ruger PC9, and Kel-Tec Sub-2000's all using the same mags makes for a great range day and pretty awesome bug out capability.
Thank you for this great review, stumbled on it when looking for one. I was on the fence with the Glock 26 now planning on getting it.
Hey, Scotch! I'm ordering these Ironclad ECO Operator Pro gloves on Amazon. How is the sizing. The chart they have shows a size larger than I normally wear. Do they run big or small or just right? Thanks!
The 26 was actually introduced as a gen 2.5 gun...finger grooves and no front strap checkering...I think the gen 4 is my favorite now, I like finger grooves and 3 pins...
The Gen 2.5 had no grooves and had checkering...
Thank you. You answered all my questions. Such a great video review.
Picked up one like new used with night sights and mag extensions. Love the factory plus 2 also. Since I have a 34, 17, 19 the 26 was just needed. Have a 43 but liking the 26 more. $375 out the door rocked! All paperwork still sealed. Great video!
Will comment again in 3 yrs if I'm still alive.
Here’s a reminder
@@doechebag He’s got two years to go. I’m patiently waiting…
???? All good bro?
Where you at??
I just get mine, I’m was watching your review
, like it!! Thanks for the video!!
Nice video as always and just to let you know I always admire your shed in the background. The color scheme with the naturally aged Cedar (I'm guessing) is really cool. lol
He shot it side ways like a gangster lmao🤣
I am with you I love it my favorite carry
Me too ❤️
I could never get enough of a Glock video 👍🏾
I love the Glock. The design, the realability. Had a Glock 19 gen 4. I love the chunky gun. Felt good in the hand. Never had a problem with it I'll be buying another glock19 gen4 real soon
Glock 26 is probably the best ccw pistol ever
WAS, Then along came Sig P 320 Sub-Compact. I just bought both new. Everything about the Sig beats the Glock. Sig is my new EDC.
C Kim Good for you but i still think with the versatility of mag capability, that the 26 is the best . Glad you’re happy with your glock copy though 🤷🏾♂️
C Kim cool story bro, just don't drop it
SimplyCRehZ
That issue was fixed B-4 I bought it. I don't drop guns my hands work just fine.
C Kim you don't train hard enough then. Get out, beat it up. Run and gun and I can assure you that you will drop it eventually.
