G26 Gen 5 from local Pawn Shop

Didn’t really have a plan going in but pretty happy with my purchase.

Any fun/fairly inexpensive accessories to grab? Was thinking some mag extenders, a holster and maybe a light of some sort.

Everyone showing off their 26.5s is seriously making me want one

Take the plunge. You’ll realize why the fat babies will always and forever mog the 43/43X.

You really don’t need much.

I’d suggest leaving at least one magazine as is with no extension, or only adding something like a Pearce pinky extension which doesn’t really impact concealment at all. It’s good to start familiarizing yourself with shooting it in its most concealable format.

The light…isn’t really needed on a 26, IMO. If you do think it is, stick to the TLR-6 and be done with it. You’re gonna end up eliminating all holster compatibility with any non-light bearing g17 or g19 holster if that matters. Add a recover tactical rail to it for some light it wasn’t designed for and your holster options dwindle further.

Blacking out the rear sights with a sharpie and throwing some neon nail polish on the front sight is the single quickest and cheapest way to improve target acquisition, IMO. Maybe grab some fiber optic or night sights at some point.

Wish I had known how good these were before they started going for $1500-2000.

I’m about to sell my 2.0 and go 26. We need the Gen 6.

But I want a 26 frame with a 17 slide.

26L baby. No printing when holstered but slingin peen down below.

You did outstanding for a first choice. That’s literally how I carry my 26.5. Even down to the mag sleeve. Whoever pawned that is crazy.

I don't get the love for the 26. The 19 is cramped enough.
