The Glock 26 Gen4 is my everyday concealed carry weapon but this was not always the case. Like many, I was turned off from the Glock pistol line because of all the "Glock Fanboys" who were always talking how Glocks were the be all, end all of the shooting world. Glock was the perfect gun. Case closed.

On the other side of the coin were the "Glock haters," most of whom have never shot a Glock let alone own one. They perpetuate the myths of the feeling of a brick in your hand and a gun made of cheap materials.

I never knew which side to believe but I believed there were truths being told by both sides. While at the shooting range one day I had the opportunity to shoot a Glock 26 Gen4. I was sold on Glock from the first shot. The soft shooting of the Glock 26 Gen4 allowed me to be very accurate from 25 yards with a gun I have never shot before. For a sub-compact weapon, being a soft shooter is unheard of. The Glock 26 has less felt recoil than some compact 9mm's I have owned.

Breaking down the gun for cleaning could not be any easier or quicker. Pull back the slide a little, pull down the take down lever and remove the slide. That's it. Takes about 10 seconds to get the slide off, recoil spring and barrel assembly out, and ready for a cleaning.

Even though the Glock 26 is a little over one inch wide, it does not feel that way when carrying in a properly fitted holster. When I carry the Glock 26 Gen4, I carry in an Alien Gear rig with the flat based magazine to limit printing through a shirt. My two back-up magazines have the Pearce grip extender for a full three finger grip on the gun.

For $29.00 holster with no break in period, one can not go wrong. Do not let the price fool you. This holster comes with everything you would need to customize the holster to your wearing style. It is so comfortable I forget it is there.

The only negative for me was the aggressive stippling on the grip and back-straps. I wrapped the grip with a rubberized grip wrap from Talon Grips. The Talon Grips offer the "stickiness" I need without being too aggressive.

I have owned many guns from Smith & Wesson, Ruger, and so on. Like any other weapon system, Glock has had its share of problems in the past. I do not claim that the Glock is the perfect gun. However, I have never had a problem with my Glock 26 and after owning a Glock I can't see me owning any other gun.
