Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key features of the Glock 26 Gen 5?

The Glock 26 Gen 5 features a 3.4-inch Marksman barrel, ambidextrous slide release, and the Gen 5 trigger. It has a standard capacity of 10+1 rounds and weighs 26 oz unloaded. Its double-stack design offers higher capacity potential compared to slimline models.

How does the Glock 26 Gen 5 compare to the Glock 43X for EDC?

The G26 Gen 5 is thicker due to its double-stack magazine, offering higher standard capacity (10+1), while the G43X is slimmer (single-stack) for potentially easier concealment but has a lower standard capacity. The G26 Gen 5 grip is shorter, which can lead to a pinky hang-off without extensions.

What ammunition was used to test the Glock 26 Gen 5?

The Glock 26 Gen 5 was tested using Herter's 9mm Luger 115 Grain Full Metal Jacket ammunition and Blazer 9mm Luger ammunition during the range session.

What are the ergonomics like on the Glock 26 Gen 5?

The Gen 5 frame lacks finger grooves found on older models. The grip size is typical for a subcompact, and the reviewer notes the common 'pinky hang-off' issue, which can be addressed with extended baseplates or magazines.
