Glock 26 pistol: Compact Powerhouse Part 1

PART 1 of 2
A superb choice for police officers, military pilots, and civilian "sheepdogs," the Glock 26 deserves its excellent reputation for reliability, simplicity, toughness, durability, accuracy, firepower, value, and lightweight carry (21.5 oz!). Nutnfancy goes over each of these attributes in this two-part Glock 26 review. Several other designs try to de-throne this mighty mouse and are coming close but the Glock 26 has held its ground for over a decade now. Inheriting the many good features and solid design of its bigger brother, the Glock 17, the G26 provides amazing size and weight efficiency for its capabilities. The only real downside is its thick slide which makes some carry methods, like bellyband and ankle carry, more uncomfortable than thinner guns like the Kahr PM9/40 series. Though this two part series focuses on the Glock 26, most of the praises can also be given the the .40 cal version, the Glock 27. These are affordable powerhouses that can and have saved lives. Nutnfancy Likeability Scale: 9 out of 10

nutnfancy and hickok45 sold me on this...just bought and fire one of these (Gen 4)...love this gun! It's plastic, yes (Ruger revolver guy here!), but it's got a solid feel to it: this is not a Tupperware gun. First 105 rounds, no problem. My groups are not as tight as I would like, but I got way better toward the end of my first shoot. This will be my CC gun once I get good with it, muscle-memory-wise. Thanks guys for the great videos, too...nutnfancy and hickok45 are the best on the site.

I love everything about gun reviews on youtube except for how fucking ridiculous the "make the weapon safe" bullshit has gotten. Noone on the other side of the internet cares if you shoot yourself, and if youre making a review with a loaded gun, I sincerely hope you do.

I bought the g23c back in 2002 as a home protection piece and thought the wife would be able to use well with the compensated barrel. Anyway as years past I would shoot it once in awhile and recently got the itch to get my ccl. So I've been looking at a multitude of subcompacts to carry. I was at the range with a buddy to shoot new sw mp 15( which is an awesome piece but another post) so he pulls out his fairly new ccw beretta px4 sub and it FTF on second mag. So one thing you can bank on is th

I know this is an old video, but I had a Taurus Millenium Pro in .40 and every time I pulled the trigger, the magazine fell out. The only way to prevent it was to keep my left palm on the bottom of the magazine. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, and traded it for my G23.

my wife hates you, Nutn' lol! I've spent so much money on products you review and have a chunk of change set away for my USK. I ccw a G23(Gen 4), but it's just too big. Trading for a 26/27 this weekend, but can't decide on the caliber. Is the small package of a G27 going to be a huge factor with recoil? I'm still having a bit of trouble with follow up shots on the G23...

[Flash9590]

@MrPlayher1 something tells me you dont even own a glock at all or else you would know they arent anything to "rofl" at.

I love how you mentioned all the safety information in the beginning. To many people skim over the information and assume everyone knows that information. I wish EVERY review started like that as some have no clue as to how to safely handle a firearm and might be watching a review on a different weapon. Anyhow Excellent reviews as always. Take care and be safe!!
