Overview
The Glock 26 is a micro compact pistol that was first introduced in 1995. It was designed as a smaller version of the popular Glock 17 and was intended for concealed carry.
The Glock 26 is a 9mm pistol that features a 10+1 capacity, making it a great option for self-defense and personal protection. Plenty of Glocks do that, though, and the main strength of the G26 is how easy it is to conceal.
Minimal Size and Weight
One of the most notable features of the Glock 26 is its size and weight. It measures just 6.41 inches long, 4.17 inches tall, and 1.26 inches wide. It weighs in at just 21.71 ounces when loaded, making it easy to carry for extended periods.
It also sits happily in a sock holster or in any other back-up gun position you want really. John Wick carried his round the back, but it’s a great choice for a pocket pistol in the right holster.
Polymer Frame and Fewer Parts
The sub-compact pistol comes with a polymer frame, a stainless steel slide and a Glock marksman barrel that is DLC finished and a match for any drop in barrel on the market.
It could be smaller, but Glock has kept a little extra barrel length to ensure accuracy and contain muzzle flip. Some of the smaller micro compact 9mm pistols are famously snappy, while the Glock is composed thanks in no small part to the longer barrel.
