People going with a G26 need to practice running it fast. Having your pinky off the bottom makes a difference in maintaining grip. Let alone the energy difference. It can be done. I know a guy who shoots competition with stock G26 even though he's got a 45 lbs-ft deficit to my G19 TB.

Very good video. I carry both, G19, G26 (12+1) GEN 4s and at times the G42 (7+1). Both, as you mention, the G19 and G26 use the same holster except if I add a light+laser attachment. They both conceal well for me @215Lbs. My accuracy is very good with both except at 50 feet or greater the G19 wins out, sight radius does matter. As with any gun, range time and how you use it matters. I most always use the 3 rds. in under 3 sec. rule as the clock is my stress factor.

Great review!

Great video thanks definitely not to late . To the party. Recommend the 19 for anyone just starting out shooting... thanks

I keep my Glock 19 by my bedside for home protection with 19+1 round mag light/laser and suppressor and edc my Glock 26.

Well hell you did very well with the baby glock. Still would replace sights on the 26. But good review.

Great video, I have experience with both. I have medium to large hands, so the 19 fits better when comparing these 2 guns in thier normal configurations. G19 15 rnd. mag, & G26 10 rnd.mag. To me, that's the tipping point towards the 19. Both conceal well, I'm 5' 9" 220, athletic shape and I have zero problem with concealing either. I'd say go with the 19 first unless your a smaller person. Ymmv.

*Long Comment Warning* Here goes: I'm 6'2" 235ish and I've been carrying a 26 for 4-5 years. I always carry with a 12 round in it and 17-21 round backup. I've used it in several training classes and I've never felt like the gun put me at a disadvantage. I bought a 26 because my 17 is not very concealable/comfortable. The longer slide was terrible for everything other than standing straight, and the long magazine was difficult to conceal. I went fully the opposite direction and got the shortest of both (G26). The funny thing is now I carry the 26 in a 19 holster because the extra length puts a little leverage on the bottom of the holster which keeps the top of the gun from flopping away from my belly. The 12 round mags still hide better than a 15 round in the 26. I guess I could try a 19, but they aren't cheap and the I have no problems using the 26.

You did a really good job hiding them both (wow) nice 👍🏼 keep up the good work 💪🏾

Moral of the story Carry the g26 if u choose to wear a teenage boy shirt like this guy. Lol nosa I'm just busting. Great content TY

The 26 is surprisingly very accurate but the Achilles is drawing from concealment is very hard as the grip is too far and short

Nice video. I'm not as brave as you are. I look in the holster before putting the pistol back in and put it in really slowly. No need to hurry. Watch yourself, when unholstering, your shirt goes way up, when you reholster it doesn't look like it fully clears the holster and you're not looking. Well, you're the expert and I'm just a watching videos... what do I know.

Good video! Thank you.

One of the factors why I'm leaning towards the g26 more is because of the weight, it's obviously gonna be lighter than the 19 even if both have full rounds on the magazines

Glock 26 the best gun ever I have many accessories glock 26 is good for cary 10rd mag and 17rd extra mag I have glock 19 threaded barrel I can use it in my glock 26 so if I not cary my gun but long barrel and glock 17 mag 17rd and +6 mag extension mean 23rd mag and long barrel Rady for use for cary oem Barrel flash mag 17rd mag extra nice gun for any think you can make it subcompact or full size

Our shapes are similar. I've learned to wear my buckle off to the left a bit to offset any bulge from the firearm. It has worked well. With your belt buckle bulging out slightly in the center, it brings your attention to the fact that there is something else hidden under your shirt. It's not horrible, but I wouldn't call it 100% concealed. And G26 all the way

The G45/ 19x have the same grip handle length as the G17 but the barrel length of the G19, from what I have seen from other people's opinions, the handle length is what affects concealability the most, not barrel length (I wouldn't know cause I don't carry guns inside my pants like appendix carry) So with the G45 you're losing barrel length, and the same grip length as the G17, so I believe it would be better to just get a G17, if you care about ballistics that is For instance I carry the G19 mad my brother carries the G17, if you compare both the size difference is not as big as people think, I could carry the G17 if I had to without a problem

I carry the Glock 26 and the Glock 19.I shoot tighter groups with my glock 26. The Glock 19 has a softer recoil spring and the rounds open up a little bit on me.

The G26 shoots better than its size would suggest. I wish Glock would make a G26C. If Glock wanted to make all the inter web commando heads explode, they would adapt the 26 slide to the 19 frame, provide the MOS system and compensated. Then add a Streamlight tlr-6 and a magwell and you've created yourself the inter web head exploding roland special. Boom.

Or, option C - Buy a Glock 19 and if it just doesn't conceal well enough, chop the grip down to a 26. Light rail, concealability, etc... win win!

Go with the 19 if it’s your only option the 26 is great but I would recommend only using the intended 10 round mag (pinky extension base plates are ok) but every time I use a 19 mag w xgrip or even the extended 33rd mag it jams a lot ...

Use a Stoeger STR 9MC instead of the G26.

A 9mm conceal carry pistol needs to be small and have decent round capacity. The G-26 meets those requirements and is accurate, easily handled and reliable. I carry mine with Pearce mag pinky extensions, as I don't want or need the +2 extension. I load Federal HST 124 gr +P JHP's which are an excellent round for the G-26, and I prefer a 2 o'clock, IWB carry. I don't see the point in carrying a larger G-19 for conceal SD carry; you don't need the extra rounds, added weight/size, and the G-26 is very accurate and handles easily, so why make SD carry more of a hassle ? I also carry a G-29 - 10mm, which is a tad longer and thicker, but conceals very well.

Honestly, for concealed carry the G26 is a better gun. With the factory set up, the G26 needs in my opinion an extension for me to get a full grip. Now I dont have gigantic hands but I dont have small hands either and I cant get a full grip without it. I happen to feel the G26 is better than the G43 for the same task as well if only because of the extra capacity. Now, the G19 isnt exactly a hard gun to conceal in my opinion but it's not a "compact" gun either. It's a full sized gun and frankly, the G17 isnt much bigger to carry and I think I'd rather have the G17 myself. Ultimately I feel it comes down to comfort. Be that comfort in your hand, comfort when firing, comfort in capacity limits, or comfort in holsters. I feel a good quality holster for either will carry equally as well so that to me is a bit of a moot point. I think I'd go with the G19 just because I prefer larger guns and having fired some smaller sub compact guns I typically dont find them to be very comfortable and lack of comfort equates to less time training with the gun which ultimately equates to you having less experience with your chosen weapon and that for me is a no go. If I'm going to go small, I tend to go with a smaller caliber like a .32 or .380 in a semi auto. I do have a Glock 39 with a +2 extension for 8 shots of .45 GAP, which at it's worst is equal to .45 ACP but with proper loads in the 185gr range it operates closer to .45 ACP +P in terms of ballistics. It is a bit snappy but it gets excellent expansion and penetration. And when compared to .40 S&W I find it's a bit more comfortable to shoot while offering similar ballistics if not superior in a short barrel. But the G19 is a good sized gun, 15 rounds is plenty, and it can be concealed relatively easy.

I have always heard the rumor that the 26 is the most “accurate” of them all. Not sure why when the 19 and 26 use the same locking block. It’s literally just a shorter barrel and slide.

@jefferybrown8062

Keith Gemmill people tend to shoot the 26 better because the hump on the grip hits your palm in the perfect area to get a tighter grip. On the 19 the hump is much lower and doesn’t provide the same feel. Well that’s what I’ve noticed at the range.

I tried a 26 recently, and the recoil/muzzle rise is much less than that of the 43x and is almost as a small as what I had with the 45. I used the Recoilmeter program on the MantisX to measure it. By personal feel, the 26 is really close to the 45, while the 43x is noticeably snapper. The 26 is truly a marvel for being a two-finger grip pistol.
