  • love my g26!!! love it so

  • Comment removed

  • Why do not you chapter 3

  • Nice video! I just recently purchased a 26 and I'm surprised at how accurate it really is. It has now become my favorite Glock! Great job Hickok45.

  • @Kimuramiami I just got one too. Put a hundred rounds of cheapo Herters thru it. Can you say accurate ?!! Easy to shoot too, even one-handed ! LOVE this gun !!

  • You shoot better with a subcompact or a 380

    Than a soldier with a rifle

    The mags ar very expensieve i have 5

    I do the empty mags back in my mag holster

    You trow that expensieve mags away!

  • Nice shooting, man! That's pretty accurate shooting with such a short barrel.

  • can someone give me  a ballpark on how this cost i have a g17 but want something smaller

  • @MrTheree same price just about

  • @trz541 thanks

  • Got one yesterday. Thanks for making the choice easy.

  • tell that bird in the beginning to SHUT UP OR ITS GONNA DIE!!!!!!!!!!

  • Why is it that you don't like magazine extensions? Is there maybe another video where you explain that you can refer me to?

  • holy shit he's a great shot!!!

  • Mister Billy Goat took a DIRT NAP.

  • I was wondering why you always let your magazines fall to the ground.. doesnt this get them dirty and make it so you cant reuse them right away..

    always having to clean them before your next use ? ?

    Im a new shooter and just always see you releasing them to the ground.....

    Thanks for all the great videos.

  • Can you describe your hand loads for this gun and caliber?

  • @FormulaMazda many people don't hand-load 9mm it's so cheap. You wouldn't really save anything..

  • damn right love my 26!

  • @KACVESKE i love mine to! haha...i went thru 19/ then 19c then i was like man i miss my 26!!! but now i got that and i sold my 19 and got me a glock 23 for home defense 4th Gen also. but my 3rd Gen Glock 26..I love both!!!!

  • wooowwww.....wonderful gun..

  • Any reason why the slide wasn't locking back?

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • It'd be cool to shoot targets with hickok someday

  • Will you be my neighbor? Respect.

  • Will you be my neighbor? Respect.

  • who said old people cant shoot thumbs up plz (:

  • @crazyecho780 Old people? That was kind of rude.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • This is the first video that he starts using the phrase "Life is Good".

  • Hickok45 makes me smile.

  • Hey Hickok, love all your videos, your reviews are great and entertaining. I am purchasing a G26 next week, I know you love talon grips, have you tried the rubber talon grips as opposed to the skateboard tape material? Just wondering, thanks!!!

  • The 26 ia one of my favorite carry weapons. It is very accurate as Hickcok has showed us.

  • Hickok45, you need to set up 10 different sized plates that make ringing noises at different pitches...you're such a damn good shot, do that and make a video where you play Mary Had A Little Lamb with your Glock 26. You gotta do it, man...

  • the empty brass flies outta there! the brass barely dribbles out of my g19

  • @tk4227 are you limp wristing??

  • Hey again Hickok, I've just been through all of your videos up to this one and I've realized this vid is the first time you use your signature phrase "Life is Good!" Cheers from Cheney, WA

  • I spent the weekend before last in West Virginia and I got to shoot my first Glock. It was a G 26, and it was full auto. I'm not kidding you at all. There are already videos of me shooting it on YouTube but not on my channel.

  • Hickok45 can you explain why there is an ad on your video stating a 9mm won't protect you?

  • YES, MR. HICKOK45, RIGHT ON ALL POINTS, DEARLY LOVE ALL YOUR GLOCK VIDEOS.

  • You sir, are an excellent shot! Thanks for this report on the 26.

  • is this what you do all day ??

  • @afgmoe9712

    Wouldn't that be amazing if I could afford to I'd do this all day. Never too much practice.

  • hey hickok45 i live in ireland and the laws here are the worst in the world. im only starting with a .22 thats all i can get right now but i do love .22 im 30 is their any tips you can give me starting out shooting.john

  • i shoot about 3 times a week but still cant really make up my mind

  • @NEWDAD248 Well since you shoot that often I would recommend either one, because recoil probably is irrelevant for you. Really the decision is going to be based on personal preference, because they're both fantastic firearms, and the only big difference in the caliber is that the .40 is going to give you more power and recoil, the 9mm is going to give you more cartridge capacity and less recoil. Regarding cost they're about the same the 9mm is just a tad less expensive than the .40.

  • @Weaponcollecter16 thanks for the input, its probably gonna be the 9mm

  • @NEWDAD248 You're welcome :-), I can also tell you that the 26 is a superb choice since I own one, and I love the "baby Glock" to death.

  • Would you recommend the 26 or 27? I understand 1 is 9mm and the other is 40 but I plan on purchasing a handgun this week and was just curious

  • @NEWDAD248 Before I would recommend one I need to ask, how often do you shoot or plan on shooting.

  • I hear a cardinal

  • i hear a cardinal

  • i hear a cardinal

  • you deserve your own tv show

  • HOLIEEEEE SNIKEIEEEEES! (that 33 mag in the Glock 26 was awesome!)

  • when you started filming guns video?

  • You shoot very well despite the fact that glock 26 got a shorter sight radius. How frequent do you shoot?

  • glock 26 just has to take the back seat in accuracy to my taurus pt92 though..just something to think about.

  • This video is on the Talon Grips website

  • Only guy that reviews guns that is smart, accurate, and a good shot, oh and did I mention doesnt talk like a know-it-all douche, big thumbs up

  • @MrJonneypro Lol, I think I know who you are talking about when you say "know it all douche"

  • @MrJonneypro many more reviewers now have began speaking more down to earth their arrogance hasnt been tolerated

  • Yeah, I noticed a lot of the mags weren't locking the slide back as well. Glad you mentioned that. :D

  • @hickok45 I swear I saw you in Dirty Harry: Magnum Force

  • amazing aim

  • Do a gen 4 glock 26 review.

  • Do you feel that you can shoot the Glock 27 as fast as the Glock 26 due to the slightly greater recoil?

  • nice shot

  • you got good aim

  • If using extended mags, any preference to G17 OR 19 mags? Shorty mags ok? What's your preference?

  • I so enjoy your videos. I am originally from MS. Living in El Paso, TX at present. Here on the border we have real problem right across the border in Juarez. I have a 1911 and PT92 Taurus. The Glock 26 seems to be a great gun for CCW. Would it work as a pocket pistol, or would it be better holstered? Great Job!!!

  • Can you play "Rhapsody in Blue" on those steel targets?

  • This vid has put me over the edge on buying a Glock 26 for my CCW. If I might ask you, sir, what is your CCW of choice?

  • i <3 9mm

  • what a good shot. i cant hit anything that far away with my subcompacts (pf9, 26 and 27) i have to get my xdm 45 to hit anything 50 plus yard and even with that i don't hit near as often as mr 45. with enough practice over the next 20 years i can be half this good

  • Hickok where do you get your ammo have a place to get it for cheap since you shoot off so many rounds or you pack them your self

  • 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.

  • @Noremorse10 the better decision is the glock 27 since you can convert it done to 9mm but also have the ability to shoot 40.. You cant convert 9mm up to shoot 40. but can convert 40. down to shoot 9mm

  • @fultza I decided not to go with a Glock but a Beretta px4. Possibly a Sig p250. I will decide when i take care of one last task.

  • i have a tip for you .. after every shotting session you have to put your finger on the barrel to make your vids even better

  • Pure skill....

  • Great video Mr. Hickok, well I've watched 3 of your videos so far and look forward to the others. As a soon-to-be first time gun owner, I've been torn between a Glock or Sig or maybe H&K (to name a few). Thanks to you, I've decided on a Glock 26 and will have 'hickok45' engraved on it :) Thanks for all you do!

  • this is a grandpa you do not want to rob! >.<

  • 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

  • Thumbs up if u like Colt M1911 .45

  • I have one of these, and it is my primary ccw...it's an awesome compromise between concealability and power.

  • what is the size of the gong at 80m?

  • Great vids .)

    Finally some real duds doing real test

  • Once I get my CHL when I move back to VA, the 26 is going to be my primary concealed carry. I may buy some other guns as well for other places, like a 19 in my nightstand or something like that. I subscribed to you Hickok because of your knowledge. Thanks :)

  • Do you have any videos with thermal or night vision sights?

  • I'm getting one of these just because of your recommendation.

  • this will be the first gun ill buy.

  • this grandpa is sharpshooter :)

  • does it have a big blow back

  • 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!!!

  • Great video, as always! I think you have me hooked on that 26, it will probably be my first pistol. do they come standard with the flat base mags or the extended finger groove mags? I, like you, prefer to shoot without the extended mags (they seem to be too much excess handle for some reason)

  • Wow, impressive, out of all the videos I've watched that G26 is hard to beat. I see why your a Glock guy, it just don't get no better than that. Whats amazing is that you have large hands and handle the 26 as good or perhaps better than any. I just appreciate you sharing your wealth of information and technique. I've already adapted to your shooting style and i'm doing much better at the range.

  • February 26,2011 Rambling comments In January 2011 I got the bug for guns after being disinterested for years. I went and looked at many guns,and settled on Glock,debated on a 19 or 26 and 30,I thought I need pinky support so I purchased a 19 gen 4 within days I changed my mind and purchased a 26 also. Almost purchased a 30 also,bigger is better BS. its as big as a 19. Found in the long run the Glock 26 is the best choice,in real life. Glock 26 rocks. 19 is now a orphan. But I pet it daily.

  • 5:29 hit dead center!!!

  • very nice shooting....iam learning a lot from you.

  • Wow, very nice tight 3 round grouping on that gong. Makes me wanna get a 26. =p How is the control on it for such a small grip?

  • The best Glock in my opinion, and I agree about the magazine extensions - I never like them on any gun, nice to find someone who thinks the same way.

  • 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!

  • Man that was some fantastic shooting. Got to watching your vids when I got my Ruger LCP for a backup. My duty issue is Sig P229. In my dreams I wish I could shoot as good as yoju. And I'm no slouch. Waning the new Ruger LC9 but nobody in the Georgia area has one. Have you seen them and/or what are your thought about the LC9. Just subbed to your channel. Really enjoy it. Thank you sir.

  • thanks for your videos!!! i got my new gen4 26 about a month ago and love it!!! thanks to you!! and it has the talon grips on it too... the only thing it doesn't like is the 33 round clip do you have any recommendations for a good 33+ clip

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

  • Hickok, Sootch, and Nutnfancy are the best!!

  • Do you have license ? I want too glock ! Hehe.

  • Love the vid. I was getting the 19 but I'll get the 26 I LIKE IT thanks. Sweet

  • 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.

  • I really have a lot of fun watching your vids.. Shooting is excellent, and you seem to be having a blast.  The lawn mower vid I think is the best.. This 26 video taught me something about the pistol.. In the right hands, it is very accurate. Thanks for taking the time.

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

  • What kind of carry holster do you use for your 26?

  • Can I come over for a play date? I love your set up there.

  • Nice shooting, I also like the musical idea. You could get plates with different rings or notes to them and set up a sequence to Drummer Boy or something. I just bought a 26 yesterday, how old is yours and how's it's performance been? Have you had any trouble with it? One more thing, what ammo do you use for practice/target firing?

    Thanks

  • Alkida's going down

  • @michelthegreatable uuuh is alkida street for al qaeda?

  • @mrOthervideos ya. that and i'm really bad at spelling.

  • Hickok - man it's a pleasure watching you shoot! Thanks for taking the time to share your awesome skills! Please keep em coming! Regards!

  • 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'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.

  • To those of you looking at a G26 for CC...get one. I'm carryiing mine in a Galco classic lite holster and I like it. I've put a couple hundred rounds through it with all types of ammo from monarch steel cased to fiocchi and so far its 100%...no hiccups whatsoever. Glock trigger takes some getting used to but its not bad after awhile.

  • dude...one again you got skillz...mad skillz...but again like Gagefixer asked..whats the drop you compensate for at those longer ranges?

  • curious how much you have to compensate for the long shots ?

    thank you

  • I'm looking at one of these for my cc gun. Would u recommend it?

  • 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.

  • Ok, I'm setting half my night on fire watching your vids. Completely enjoying them! Love the laid back attitude. Keep 'em coming.

  • Comment removed

  • long live england and canada and the're orange water pistols....lol

  • Glock should be paying you to make these videos. GOOD SHOOTIN!

  • i just wanna say i love your set up! i wish i had a place like that to shoot id be out there all damn day!!! and you have a good shot my dude! i love my baby glock 26! good video

  • You are a old man with good looking and so smart.

    I respect.

  • Like it. Planning on getting a G26 for off-duty carry since I carry the G19 for duty/off-duty. Your issue with slide not locking on empty, not able to see your grip, you could be accidentally holding down the slide-lock. I used to do that a lot on a G22. But it can be a magazine issue or slide lock getting warn out. But im sure you fixed it by now. Good video.

  • Greetings,

    I adopted a #26 around two years ago. Two questions, will the Russian ammo (Brown Bear) damage my Glock? It is affordable for me, but I am hesitant to use it.

    Two, what is your opinion on the plugs on the market to plug the opening at the base of the handgrip? I have read several opinions about the hole being there, one being that it is there to allow debris to fall out of the firing mechanisms. Is it a good idea to put a plug in the opening, or, leave it alone?

    Thank You

  • thats the reason why i love my glock 26 than a .45.

  • nice shooting!

  • 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.

  • Great video and excellent shooting, im looking to buy a glock 26 so thank u.

  • who is recording these vids? big up.

  • @kaaajeee , My son unless there's a tripod involved.

  • @hickok45 steadiness runs in your genes! but i think the vids would be even more epic if your son used a tripod or a unipod for those long range recordings like this video @ 5:00- he has a little shake and it would be that much better if he used a tirpod. Thanks for the videos- very valuable!

  • Comment removed

  • I think it is his son... and he does do a great job!!

  • i like how you laugh when you're happy with your shooting, you sure get a kick out of this. Wish I didn't live in the Soviet Union (read NYC) wish me luck on getting my CCW there.

  • i got a sweet deal on my glock 26 i got it for 80 bucks got 2 mags and the gun it has only been fired 200 times when i got it 2

  • i love it, just don't know if i can buy it hickok!

  • Wow. At 10:20 the big magazine shows up and pop, pop, pop!!!

    I am convinced. Glock 26 all the way. Sorry Taurus ;( jk.

    Where do you get ammo for $0.16 each. What brand + style, and what store. Thanks from CA!

  • i really dig that glock!

  • Hi Hickok, i wonder, could the inner bike tube be a good substitute to wrap around your grips?? You can cut it in small bands. Man i like your vids!!! great !!

  • hello sir i was inspire by your demonstration with the glock 26 so i've just traded in my taurus709 slim for the glock 26 and i am darn impress with the glock's accuracy and performance. thanks to you i'm now in love with my new gun.

  • Thank you for all the videos. They have educated me in so many ways.

    I am currently shooting a Glock 26 (mainly because of influence from your videos). It will eventually be my CCW gun. Like you have have area to shoot on my property.

    I am not to the level of reloading ammo at this point. But looking for cheap ammo to practice on my range. If I am cleaning my gun regularly (thanks again for the great video on that) - can I buy cheap foreign ammo (russian, brown bear)?

    What are downfalls?

  • @KyleKoehler1 i just put 100 rounds of brown bear through my glock 19 yesterday with no malfunctions at all. I would highly recommend giving it a good cleaning afterwards, though.

  • @KyleKoehler1 i just put 100 rounds of brown bear through my glock 19 yesterday to test the amo with no malfunctions at all. I do plan on buying more (much more:), but I would highly recommend giving your glock a good cleaning afterwards!

  • @patt575 I purchased 500 rounds on Wednesday... it is coming on Friday (I like the fast shipping) at .16/round it beats the .24/round at big box store.

  • Hickok, i love all your video's they are educational and fun. Is ammo so cheap in the USA, because you fire enormes ammounts of ammo !?? I would like to own a glockbut i,am Dutch, we aren't allowed to have any guns! good luck to you!!!

  • I must say i enjoy all your videos especially the sub compact glocks and watching you is why i bought the glock 26 it is an awsome lil gun and i shoot better with it than my glock 34 which is a full size competition type of gun i am thinkin about tradin my g 34 for glock 30

  • my first glock.....glock 26

  • Hey hickok, im thinking of getting a H&K USP but i was thinking, i could get a glock and another great gun,..... which do you think?

  • @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.

  • @hickok45 hey hickok i was wondering does it matter of the quality of the bullet. cuz some ppl sed that if its a cheap bullet then it will jam the glock 26. please respond.. thank you

  • When you aim do you keep both eyes open or one eye closed? I noticed the sight picture changes dramatically when you shoot with both eyes open compared to one.

    Thank You for your great videos!

  • hickok, it's the follower connected to the mag spring that's the problem..not the gun. press down on follower with a screwdriver to fix it

  • you rock hickok!! need more guys like you.

  • How do you shoot? Do you use your left eye or your right eye? and do you close one eye when shooting. Also, I'm assuming you use the sights on the gun. Sorry just a starter. Thank you

  • nice shooting....just curious were you ever in law enforcemen???

    i hate to be a criminal in a shootout against you...i seen a few of your videos...

  • Great videos man! Cheers from Portugal!

  • You rock Hickok! I love your setup bro!

  • hicok you are the man. all your vids are very enjoyable to watch.

  • Great video very helpful I've been thinking about a 9mm subcompact and this may be the one. I like that you are shooting the **** out of that thing with no jams or malfunctions and hitting targets 80 yards out. Keep it up.

  • this dude got aim

  • With my glock 26 I can shoot tic tacs out of a fly's mouth, but with my glock 17 I can't hit the broad side of a mountain. Why would that be???

  • @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.

  • @hickok45 I'm in this category. I shoot my G26 slightly better than my G19. I carry my G26 the most because of proficiency. I love your vids man! Keep up the good work. I live in the city(Philadelphia, PA) so I'm not allowed to have a home range like yours in the back of my house. :-(
