Very accurate for it's size shoots 9mm which is pretty inexpensive
Probably can't get all your fingers on the grip and it has a short sight radius. I guess you can put some kind thing on a Glock 19 or 17 magazine to extend the grip though. Nice pistol, and I'd grab one if I saw a good deal on one, but I am not 100% convinced that it would be a good first pistol if that is the only one you will own. I think a full size pistol, like a Glock 17, would be a better choice or at least the Glock 19. You can find hi-cap mags for both guns and if you get a 26 later they will work in it. A Glock 19 is bigger, but you can still conceal one. I carry one frequently |

I would suggest you go with a 19. I have a 27 but it's a safe queen. My 19 is carried daily.

I carry the 26 with cor-bons, I get pretty quick double taps with it, and for 10 yards combat range plus concealability, it gets my vote, I love it.

I carry my 26 daily it was my first Glock and I love it. There is also grip extensions out there that replace the floor plate of the mag so your pinky will have a spot to rest. They also have mag extensions that do the same but also up the capaticy from +1 to even +6 but I think putting those on would be making a new high-cap mag and is a no no

Had one, loved it. The grip issue can easily be overcome by a Pearce Grip Extension. Replaces the mag floor plate and gives an extra groove for your pinky.
Toss a Lasermax in there and you're golden! |

My first handgun pruchase - I got this one over the 19 and do not regret the decision. It conceals very well in a sidearmor IWB holster and has been 100 percent reliable from first shot. Right now I have put about 600 down the tube.
However, I could not resist a great deal on a 19 when it came around a few months later. |

Generally a sub compact like the glock 26 is not a very good first pistol. Generally for a first pistol you want a full size pistol. The longer sight radius makes it easier to shoot accurately and the larger mass does alot to absorb felt recoil.
If your determined and dedicated you'll learn to shoot any pistol well. You will be at a disadvantage starting with a sub compact though. I recommend getting qualified instrustion. Most gun ranges and gun shops can recommend a instructor. A good instructer can really help your learning curve. A bad instructor can really hur your learning curve. |
