Love my thicc boi G29
Took my 26 to the range this past weekend, could shoot it as good as my 17's. Blew my mind because i had a 43 and couldn't hit the broadside of a barn with it.While I don't currently carry a Glock, I hold them and similar pistols in high regard. They're not perfect but they've sure worked well for me in various iterations.
I was a really hard sell on the smaller Glocks, particularly the G26. Once I finally tried one, though, I was mightily impressed. I found myself shooting the 26 as well as I could manage with the larger 17 and 19. And, add a 33-round magazine just for kicks to a 26? Fun, fun, fun!
Shown in the pic is my old Gen4 G26 with its DeSantis Nemesis pocket holster, a Milt Sparks pocket magazine pouch, and a Magholder horizontal magazine carrier (a device worthy of its own write-up soon). I also used a couple of different IWB holsters for my G26. When I carried a 26, I typically carried a 10-round magazine on-board and a 17-round G17 magazine in reserve.
Any other baby Glock fans out there?

Glad to hear I wasn't only one with that problem (1911 vs Glock). I found the G19 closest to the 1911 hold. I too have a P07 for EDC during winter, but also have a G43X for summer-easier to conceal.I also rotate a M18 and P30SK during winter, but P07 gets majority of duty.I really like the glock. The problem I had with it, once I started shooting 1911, was that the grip is at that angle and like many I shot slightly low and to the left. Some buddies told me using a 3.5 lb trigger and also using a slightly tighter grip with my left hand might help. My edc mid size is a cz p07 right now, but I am not giving up on glocks.
Years ago I bought a 26 second hand. I shot it as well as I did a full-size after I got used to it. I sold a few years later to help fund a honeymoon. Was considering buying another about the time the micro 9 craze blew up and ended up getting a Hellcat. Would buy another 26 for the right price.While I don't currently carry a Glock, I hold them and similar pistols in high regard.
