By far the best firearms channel here..buying my Glock 26 gen 3 tomorrow and I agree..I shoot this 26 so much better than my 17..super accurate!

Love my baby G26. Ultra concealed carry, packs a good enough punch 👊 AND I can carry G17 back up mags. Perfect CCW pistol.

Many thousands. I carried it and shot it a lot for six years, and it was used when I bought it. I replaced the Slide Lever Stop after this video; as you can see, it was not keeping the slide back reliably. Actually, the spring is all I need to replace, but I had an extra Slide Lever Stop, so I just switched it out for now.

These early Hickok 45 videos when Glock was King are so pleasingly nostalgic to watch. The model 26 is a classic handgun, and I plan on acquiring one for concealed carry in the near future. Hickok himself seems a bit nostalgic about Glock lately, and I hope that translates into more Glock videos featuring other classics like the model 23 in .40 S&W (the last Glock he would ever get rid of at one point in time). Thank you sir for your contributions to the shooting sports! 🤠👍

I love my 26, still my edc. I don't shoot mine as good as you Hickok but I am a competent shooter and I can hold my own. It is a very accurate gun and if I could only have one, it'd be a glock 26. Takes all it's bigger brothers mags.

Got my first Glock in Jan 2012, a G23, still have it 11 years later, got a G19 a few months later, in 2013 I bought a G26, still have it too, the G26 has maybe close to 2K rounds and zero Malfunctions, & very accurate, been watching Hickok45 since like 2011👍

I might be wrong about this, but I love the close-ups on the gong. It looks like you can actually see some of the bullets as they fly into the target. And you can also see some of the bullets bounce off of the gong.

Yeah, we used to use those back in the '80s on Glocks. I used the Hogue rubber grips, too, until I decided I preferred a sandpaper feel.

I watch all your videos and I read all the positive comments you and your son John receive regularly! I truly believe it’s all been said although one word continues to resonate in my mind and describe what you represent and how are you to bring it. RESPECT...........

Thank you for pointing me in the direction of Talon Grips hickok. That is the only upgrade i have done to my G17 and i wont ever carry a gun without them. They look stock and made shooting on a hot 103 degree Texas day flawless. I took my LTC exam that day and i was sweating shotgun shells (not bullets) but my grip didnt suffer one bit. I had to wipe my face every time between volleys but my grip was spot on.

You’re the reason I bought a Glock 26 for my primary conceal carry gun. Thank You, I could not be happier with my choice.

I have a 19c with over 8600 rds through it. Time and time again, I've heard how accurate 26's are and your video proves it! You are also very informative, a damn good shot and humble! Thank you for sharing this very cool video with us. I've enjoyed it so much I've watched it three times!

I used to only like my G26 with the pearce grip +2 extenders, but now after trying it with a flush fit for awhile im beginning to prefer it with the flush fit magazines. They look better on the gun and feel fine, I don't know why I used to favor those extended mags so much, even though ive got gigantor hands, like you... The 26 w/ flush mags fits me fine

I've learned so much about guns from this man over the years, it almost feels like I know him. One day I'll get a 26.

When he starts shooting the gong you can see the rounds coming in. Really good on the 6th shoot (5th hit). Love the G26, I'm getting one soon to go with my G27 that Hickok45 sold me on. THANKS HICKOK45!!!

Love your vids hickok. When I was looking for my first carry weapon, all of my research kept leading me to the Glock 26. My research was dead on. I purchased a Glock 26 and haven't looked back since. I have a G19, and G26, and IMO they are 2 of the best handguns ever made. I fired plenty of firearms, but I am a Glocker for life. I've had my Glocks for over 8 years, and never a single issue with any of them. I mainly carry the 26 because I can conceal it better than the 19.

I forgot how much fun it was to watch how accurate you can be! Baby Glock killing the gong(and animals) with more hits per shot than most any other gun. Amazing

Lots of good hybrid IWB holsters out there now. A couple of premium ones I really like are Hidden Hybrid Holster and StealthGear.

I have a 26, my favorite gun to carry.

I use this as my primary concealed carry. I agree, it is hard to beat the reliability and versatility of the Glocks!

I have owned and carried a G26 daily since 1999. I love this sub compact pistol. I carry a G19 15 round magazine as a spare and a G17 round magazine in my bag. I own the G19 and the G17 as well. They don't get as much attention as my G26. Durban, South Africa

Thank you Hickok, I just ordered the Glock 26 due in no small part to your advice. You are really an awesome dude. Thank you - thank you - thank you. DG

Hickok, I bought my Glock 26 several months ago because of this video, and I love it! Thanks for making such great videos sir!!!

Just got my first CPL in 40 years and picked up my new Glock 26 five days ago. There's only one indoor range near by and not outdoor ranges in less than 10-12 miles. Have shot just 3 boxes of ammo in two sessions. But so far, I'm liking my Glock just fine. Thanks for the fine videos, you are a natural at both shooting and in front of the camera.

Well, I think one of the best videos Hicko45 did so far. Amazing how accurate such a little baby can be!

Probably my favorite Hickok45 video ever. Love the Glock 26 and ole Hickok is a hell of a pistolero!

A little with my .45s so that I could shoot lead bullets. I've not been that pleased with them, though. I have Lone Wolf Barrels for my Glock 30 and my Glock 21, but sometimes they don't like my handloads. I think I'm just going to sell the Lone Wolf barrels and when I want to shoot cast bullets, drag out a 1911, which is what I normally do anyway.

@armyfreak1019 , Both are great; the G30 is heavier and thicker, of course.

@AndrewMonkey8 , Thanks. Better watch saying that; I might just quote you in a video and talk for 48 minutes without firing a shot! :-)

Thanks.

Yep, I just replaced the Slide Lever Stop, and it's as good as new. The spring had finally weakened and needs replacement. I'll probably put the old Lever Stop back in after I replace the spring in it.

Bowling pins are very tough targets! I used to have a .458 Win Mag I'd shoot them with. I twas about the only thing that would really blow them up with a round or two. I'll break out the .45-70 or slugs on them one day. I have a slug vs bowling pin video in mind anyway.

Watching Hickok's vids instantly gives you the gun bug. I never really though about owning a handgun until I started watching his videos, two weeks after I saw the first one I bought a Glock 19. I love it, it's my baby.

Couple years ago I shot my buddies glock 26. On private property clearing doorways and hitting steel targets through windows. I tell you I fell in love and bought my own glock 26 last week because of the sweet memory of its baby trigger. Took it to the range today Mr. Hickok I almost felt like you. Put it in a new holster and it's already gonna be my every single day carry gun.

This is my carry choice, in a Galco Summer Comfort. Shoots great, over 1200 rounds since owning it and not a single hiccup to date. Id suggest Glock to anyone. And i agree, i have one mag with a plus 2 ext. and i prefer it with the regular mag. Great video!

your 26 has character, I love when glocks get honest wear

@TRUTHTELEVISED , Slide stop spring went out on me. I replaced the slide stop and spring after the video. It corrected the problem.

Just got my Glock 26 today! Thanks for your review. I was torn between a couple guns but this video put me over the top for the G26.

@stonejrw , My dad handed me a 1911 and a Smith & Wesson in the birthing room! :-) About 40 years.

I've carried the G26 for at least six years and at least that long a time the G27. Both is the easy answer, but for now I'm going to stick with the G27. I'm fine with either, though.

Don't think so - I don't recall removing any comments lately, other than when the owner removes it and it just leaves the message that it was removed. I remove those sometimes just to get them out of the way. What was your comment?

@smokeandscornme Nope, not chrome, just worn down to the metal, and it WAS the problem.

@Gunfreak513 , If I'm shooting a 9mm, I try to remember to go over and make sure none of them are set "hard." Sometimes, if the bottom is set back against the dirt, even a .45 or .44 won't always knock them over. They are very heavy.

+Hari Khalsa I do carry it sometimes. Lately, it's been the G43 mostly, though.

That's the thing. I don't mind loading FMJ bullets for my Glocks; I can shoot all the cast bullets I want in my 1911s. They eat anything I feed them.

@MrMathew450 , The G26 is pretty popular for that. A Glock requires very little maintenance, but all guns require cleaning and a little lubing.

80 yards with a 26 wow!!! I'm impressed

I've been browsing for my first handgun for a while and have shot a few glocks now 27,30 and the 26 in the subcompact. I was worried about accuracy with such a short barrel but your video's have proven they can be accurate with practice. I absolutely love the 26 and bought it after the 1st time shooting with it. Amazing piece of engineering. As always, keep up the good work on your video's!!!

"Im not trying to pick off flies or anything" lol. You are very modest sir sometimes undeservingly so. Thats what I like about you and your style of videos.

@PenusDeMilo , Thanks. Glocks pretty much sell themselves, so they don't look too hard for people to advertise them. :-)

I think the slide lock must have worn or broken on me while the gun was resting in the safe. I believe I have some replacements.

Yes, I joke about that often. They'll find Civil War Mini balls, 8mm, Revolutionary War balls (.75 caliber), .45-70 buffalo rounds, etc. all in one "dig"!.

26 and the 19 are my fovorite glocks. great video like always!

@16dNails This is not unusual; a lot of people find that they shoot the compact better than the full size Glock and that they shoot the subcompact better than the compact.

clap5, 9mm is hardly a weak caliber for a handgun used against humans, especially these days. A .38 Special has maybe half the energy, but with modern premium hollow-points, even it can penetrate adequately while expanding to over half an inch. Use whatever you're comfortable with. I use .40 S&W for defense because it gives me nearly as many rounds along with a larger bullet, but 9mm or .45 ACP would suit me fine, as well (and I like revolvers, too).

@636tomcat , I fondled one at the NRA convention, and I was very impressed with the trigger break. Seems like a good gun.

I love that you point out that the mags aren't engaging the slide stop at the end of mag and that it's no big deal. Are part is out of spec and needs replaced. Guns are tools and any tool that is used a lot eventually needs maintance and parts need fixed. As long as it fires rounds when needed then the other little things can be fixed. It is not a critical failure that stops the gun. Great job and love your vidoes!

Love my Gen3 Glock 26. I have a set.of Talons on the way. Got the rubber instead of skateboard tape like material, so I can conceal without getting all scratched up.

Hi Hickok45 I'm fast becoming a huge fan of yours. Love watching all your vids. In the UK we don't have a lot of the shooting privilages as you guys in the States. Instead we have the use of .22 rimfire rifles, blackpowder guns, shotguns and air weapons. Watching your post more than make up for the lack of firearms. I currently use Co2 gas powered airguns/pellets guns to quence my shooting thirst. Keep up the good work. Your'e the best!

@AirsoftVeteran96 , They are supposed to be fine guns. I've not shot one; they just seem a big larger and less "dehorned" than Glocks of the same caliber and size. Great company and guns, though.

you deserve your own tv show

Actually, it might be 30 or 32. I forget. It's a bunch, though.

The glock 26 and 19 are the best pistols I've ever owned. I still have them. The rest are gone.

Glock 26,,, THE best carry gun,,, hands down... I know, I didn’t just say that right? 😳

I like watching this over and over again! I have a Glock 17, 19, and 20...sold my 26 about 5 years ago...Big Regret. A good excuse now to buy a 26 Gen 4. It was a great shooter but needed the money. Had friend over and we shot about 6 of my guns, some revolvers...All said the G26 was their favorite. Can't wait to get it back. Thanks Hickock, you're an inspiration.

One of the best shooters i ever seen

Gander Mountain had it on sale last year Glock 26 ..bought it for under $500...love this gun so much..

gunlover2010, Glocks are just about the most reliable, robust handguns in existence, except for one thing: they hate limp-wristing and will often fail to extract and/or feed if you do it. Although this is a well-known phenomenon, in actuality it's extremely difficult to get most semi-autos to fail with a weak hold, but with many Glocks it's not hard. Obviously if you don't limp-wrist, then it's not an issue, and Glocks will function under many conditions that other pistols won't tolerate.

After taking a shooting class I have even more respect for your skillin. I was happy to just get 9 out of 10 at 50ft. Inspirational

Man, gotta save for a G-26 Thank your cameraman for finally zooming in and showing the target hits and misses - love it. Carry on Hickok

Just purchased my first glock 26 because of your videos I get it Friday since I have to wait 10 days

I've said before that I don't care for Glock. Can't really say why. I've now come to the conclusion that if Hickok45 likes then so much that I must be missing something. I need to find one to shoot. I do like the size

his accuracy is just amazing

Personally my favorite part is when you are talking, you know your information. You have another subscriber hickok45 :)

Only about 50 years at this point. You'd think I'd know something by now! :-)

I've decided on the G26 to be my carry gun. Like pretty much everything about it, though it's not the nicest-looking gun there is. It has its own charm. Cant' wait till July when I can buy it.

You need cowboy boots and spurs that cling clang like festus on gunsmoke! Lol.

Excellent shooting, sir! I wish I could afford to shoot more. You have an awesome range, too. I hope to have one similar at my future retirement residence.

Had the standing animals made about 24 years ago, but the handing plates, gongs, and hanging buffaloes, cowboy, & tombstones I got from Arntzen Targets. I don't think he has the tombstones anymore, though.

I really enjoy all your videos you share, this video really helped me make a choice on what gun I was going to buy for a conceal carry gun. Thanks

I should be picking up my new Glock 26 tomorrow. I picked it for several reasons, but your videos helped me decide! Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving!

My friend just traded His PPS .40 for a 26. He's debuting it tomorrow :) I rented one a long time ago and the thing amazed me. Happy 2011 hickok. All the best.

Man hitting a target at 80 yards with a compact gun is a real skill i can only wish i could do the same with my smith and wesson compact 9mm

I think every shooter generally has his eye on something! Not sure, though. Wouldn't mind a good AK again, but I'm not that knowledgeable about them.

You are my mentor!

@ArtiexDR , Talon Grips.

I am about to get a 26. I was at a range with my buddy and his guns and there was another guy there. He started telling me how he thinks Glock is overrated. I asked if I could shoot one of his pistols because I had never fired one and he happily obliged. He handed me a Walther P/22 and it jammed before I got to the third round lol. Nice guy, nice pistol but I'm still going for the 26.
