The GLOCK 26 Gen5 9mm Semi-Auto Pistol is the choice firearm of many law enforcement professionals to be used as a back-up subcompact firearm or for concealed carry. The G26 accepts magazines from the larger 9mm GLOCK family (G19 and G17). The G26 comes with the same popular upgrades of all Generation 5 GLOCK pistols like a beveled magwell, the Glock Marksman Barrel, and overall elimination of leaf springs, which have since been replaced by new coil spring designs for increased longevity and reliability. The slide release on the GLOCK 26 is ambidextrous and the magazine catch is reversible.
