OK - I took the new G26 to the range (G&L) today, put 150 rounds through it, loaded it with Gold Dots, and carried it for the rest of the day.

Still have my arse.

It shot almost perfectly, a shade to the left at 15 yards, right on the money at 25. (Just my getting used to it, probably?) No failures of any kind, very little felt recoil, no problems whatsoever, except I ran out of ammo too fast.

When I got home, my 11 year old field stripped it so I could clean it. Doesn't get any better than that.

It's a keeper.

Awsome, especially the part about your 11 year old.

I tried it yesterday with and without the pinky extension, and I like shooting it more with it on there. I may keep one mag stock for carry - I'll see how much it sticks out.

I also tried a slip-on grip, but took that off - I like the feel better without it.

With you on both, yeas to pinky extension, no to grip condom...:P

I have two 27's. Like them, but pretty much constantly wish they were 26's. The 9 is more comfortable in that size to me. Then again I like the 9 and the 45 and don't care for the 40.

Easy fix, get a Lone Wolf or Storm Lake conversion barrel. They're about $100.00 a pop plus the mags.

P.S Sorry that the OP didn't like the grip suggestion. I agree that shooting it is probably easier without it. My problem was I kept dropping it when I was un-holstering it. Scared the :D out of me.

I figure the only time this will be out of the holster (Bianchi Carry-lok) is when I'm putting it in the safe for the night or when I need to shoot someone. Hopefully I won't drop it in either of those circumstances.

The problem I have with that is that they do not recommend using the conversion as a carry piece. Maybe this hasn't been the experience of others. But, that is what I heard.

I am a fan of Glocks. I've had my G30 for over 12 years and I can't imagine a more reliable gun. I just ordered a Gould and Goodrich IWB holster for it. I was thinking of getting a smaller gun like the 26, but seeing that I'm very comfortable with the one I have, I figure I'll try carrying it more. Most of the time it stays in the car, but situations are forcing me to carry it much more frequently.

I don't think you'll regret it. I'd like a 1911 because they feel and shoot so good, but since I'm not rich and can't afford an arsenal, I'm sticking with what I know works whether it's clean or filthy.
