I was torn for a few weeks between the G19 and G26. I decided on the G26 and picked it up this past weekend. I got to shoot it Sunday with 2 of my sons. I think it shoots very nice with very manageable recoil. The Foxx IWB holster I ordered should arrive tomorrow and hopefully I will get a chance to shoot it again this weekend and it will be my EDC.
Picked up new Glock 26 Gen 4

I only took 1 with my phone to text it to my son. He was not a happy camper as he had commitments at school and could not go with me to pick it up. I doubt I am smart enough to transfer to my computer. Once I get the holster I will take some and post them.

Mine is on order and will be my carry weapon.
Thanks, a lot of people think they are ugly but I do not have a problem with the way they look.

Persons who would think a Glock is ugly probably have black velvet Elvis painting hanging over their couch at home....(or dogs playing poker)......:35::danceban:
Do you suggest getting the grip adapter(I think that is what it is called) for them or do you use just the mags?

Whatever works for you. I don't have a prob with just the mag hanging out.
I'll be on a motorcycle trip carrying the G26 next week, and I just find it comforting to have a couple spares on me.
I bought a 12 round extended mag for it but I did not have any issues shooting it with the standard 10 rd mag

Or just grab some G17 mags and skip the ones for the 19. I like to keep a handful of flush fitting mags for each of my smaller Glocks (G26, G19) but I stock up on G17 mags. I use them for reloads with all my 9mm Glocks. The G17 mag will fit and function in any 9mm Glock so if you ever plan on getting a G17 it might be a good idea to start stocking up now! :biggrin2:
The G17 mag is the jack of all trades reload/range 9mm Glock mag in my book.

Walmart in the morning. I check 4 times a week and find it about one trip.

Great choice! I made the same decision last September and couldn't be happier. It's now my only gun and I feel very well protected. My wife's got a Gen 3 Model 26 but we might try to upgrade her to the Gen 4 because the grip is a bit smaller and might fit her hands better (not that she shoots that much, about once or twice a year).
Regarding the magazines, I can shoot the gun fine with the stock mag, but I do like the feel of the GAP floor plates and the Glock 2-round extensions for various methods of concealed carry. For home defense and a spare, I usually can lay my hands on a 15-round magazine with an X-Grip adapter. I used that setup for shooting the IDPA Classifier match this spring and managed to squeak in to the Expert class of the Stock Service Pistol division. And this came about after five years of being stuck as a Sharpshooter when I was shooting .40 caliber Glocks, including a G35.
