I am thinking of picking one of these up for a back up gun. Are those factory +2 glock extensions or do the 26 mags come like that? |
The 26 comes in the box with 2 flush-fit 10-round magazines. Those mags look to be Glock-branded +2 extensions. I bought a couple Glock mags with those extensions already installed. If you can accept the very minor tradeoff of the extended mag, shootability with that pinky rest is much better. Even with extensions, it still conceals easily - I liken it to a bobtailed Glock 19.
Took mine shooting again tonight, and still love it. The 26s have a good reputation for accuracy. This is possibly due to comparatively thicker slide/barrel, as well as the double recoil spring keeping the breech locked until bullet is out of the barrel. Keep in mind that the short sight radius and lighter weight will make careful sight alignment and trigger control more important. If not careful, I tend to pull shots a bit to the left.
Remember that you can share magazines with larger Glocks. Some folks keep the 10 or 10+2 mag in the pistol and a G19 or G17 mag as a spare. The longer 19/17 mags also give you a place to rest your pinky.
I might suggest an IWB holster with a J-clip for a belt, an upside-down clip, or belt loops. That will lessen the chance of pointing both pistol and holster at the target. I also have a Galco with a belt clip similar to that Hume, though, and it's worked OK.
