Shot my first Glock model 26 today, here are my thoughts and impressions......

My (original config) Hellcat is often carried in my cargo shorts pocket (in a pocket holster of course) during the summer. Actually, I'd say that it is in my pocket 90% of the time that I'm wearing pants…😜
 
Only have one.
43X with 15 round Shield's.
It's as reliable as me!
But I still call my SIG 365 X and X Macro my 'Combat' Pistols.
It's the Glock trigger.
Will never shoot enough or live long enough to really like it!
Did have a 23, my Son has it.
Elmer say - Three Pounds, like breaking glass.
But, but, he was talking Revolvers!
Of course he was!
But remember, I am an old revolver Guy!IMG_1544.webp
 
Why should cops have all the advantages? Ain't my life worth preserving too?
My Glock 26 is there for me when I need more than my 42.
Muscle memory carries over between the two.
I like short, fat, and chunky. Always have.
Ask my drinkin' buddies.
 
If I were in the market for a carry semiauto today I might well opt for a P365.

But I haven't been in that market for quite some time. When I was, the Glock 26 was the answer for me.

One rides in the console of my truck, and another rests in my top dresser drawer for those rare occasions when I feel the need for more than a snub in my pocket.

Considering I own every variety of holster I might need, more spare parts than I'll ever require, and enough magazines to ensure my great-grandkids will have a sufficient supply—not to mention having expended many cases of ammo in practice—I see no reason to switch.

Yeah, it's chunky compared to its current competitors, but it remains a damn good gun.
 
Everybody has an opinion and mine is that the Glock 43X with the S15 mags is about the best CCW ever. Most important thing with a self defense pistol is reliability and I don't think anything beats the Glock models for that. Easy carry in an IWB holster especially one like the Milt Sparkes Criterion or similar.
 
If you guys are pocket carrying a Glock 26 you must have some REALLY loose fitting jeans and a good belt…that's a pocketful!
 
I have not worn jeans in years; mostly cargo pants, and when needed, dress pants. It is not at all difficult to pocket carry the 26/27/33 if you dress properly for the circumstances.
