Link...🤷‍♂️

 

I’m guessing Lenny is going to scratch an X on a G26 gen3…

 

 

ok...what is a "26x"? 26 with a 19 slide? 19 with a 26 slide? Something else?

 

Following the naming scheme of the 19X, it would be a G26 length slide, with a longer grip, probably G19 length grip.

 

Because. We want.

 

Watch them make it without an accessory rail on it like they did with the 26 MOS.

 

"26Xc"

???

A compensated variant?

 

"Xtra compact"

 

Using a 17 or 19 mag with an X-Grip adapter in the 26 gets you pretty close to a "26X" now.

 

This is what I use with my G26 gen 5. If you ask me, Glock should have made an X version of the gen 5 Glock from the very beginning.

 

Ah yes...Glock Marketing.

Sometimes with all these crossovers, I feel like Noah on the Ark.

 

Are they hinting it’s a Glock produced item, or something they’ve made as a their own clone concept?

 

If the instagram post is all we have to go on, I'd suspect the latter.

I don't believe they'd have permission to announce a Glock product apart from a formal Glock announcement.

 

Another goofy concept.

 

Thank you.... A 26 with a 19 or 17 grip is just plain stupid. It should be the other way around, but hey, it's a Glock. Fanboys will sing the praises and run out and buy anything and everything Glock release whether it makes sense or not. They might as well release a 43xl and 48xl too with a 43 and 48 slide with a 26 grip and mag. I seriously bet everyone would justify why it's the greatest thing since sliced bread while tripping over themselves to buy one.

 

I could see, with the trend of recent firearms, someone making a 19 frame with a 26 slide. One model straight slide. Another model with a 19 length slide but 26 length barrel that’s “integrated compensator” like Sig, Springfield and others are doing.

 

Kinda like putting a longer grip on the 43 and calling it a 43X. If Glock does the same with the 26 I at least hope the magazines don’t change, referring to the fact that the 43 will not accept 43X magazines.

 

Hopefully they put a 43 grip on a 26 slide

 

Man, having a G26 slide with a G19 grip frame (and magazine) wouldn't interest me in the slightest. If I wanted a G19 grip frame I'd buy a G19.

Of course, there are always those gun owners who like to see gun companies mix and match. S&W offered a limited number run of the 5903SSV. The SSV stood for Short Slide Variation. That was an early 3rd gen 5903 (full-size) frame, with a carbon steel compact 6904 slide (3.5" barrel). It may have been a Lew Horton run.

Now, for belt guns, a long slide can be an issue for some folks. Especially for duty weapons. The G45 was a nice 'answer' for agencies wanting the G17's grip and magazine capacity, but not the G17 slide/barrel length. The G19 length slide/barrel was plenty for duty roles.

Does a purported G26X answer the same question, though?

The better question might be whether a special vendor run would sellout and make it worthwhile to deny the production time to another model.

 

🤔 Come to think of it, a G26 slide with a G19 grip frame does make sense for members of GlockTalk who AIWB carry and want a more affordable way to shoot their peckers off. I reckon they require as short of a barrel as possible to accomplish their goal.

 

Meh. Saving about 3/4" in length. I'd just go with a G19.

 

Wait... s 26 lenght slide with a 19 length grip, isn't that just a 43x? Just fatter?

 

Glock calls the 43X a slim double stack, I call it a single stack. A 26X I presume would be a true double stack.

 

I want a 26L!
I don't give two poops about a 26X.

 

Like This??? Yeah, that's a Gen 2 Extractor... I've had this Gen 2 for a looong time!

 

If the slide fits on my 45X frame I’m gonna buy it. And if the frame fits the slide of my 45x I know what I’m going to carry this summer.

 

No interest here.

 

I will buy two!

 

A 15-round grip with a 26-slide length I will jump on it!

 

Taurus makes the G3X which is the same concept as a 26x, and sells tons of them because they're 250 bucks. They look weird with the "full size" frame and little stubby slide but there's a market for it

I don't see how sticking a 19 mag in a 26 is any different, Glocks are tools and can be easily adapted.

The G2c/G3c is almost a 26x in itself, the G3X is more like a 26 slide on a 17 frame, I only say that because I have a G3c and the grip is a good bit longer than the 26, closer to a 19 grip but only holds 12 rounds. There's a guy on ebay that makes flat bases for the G3c mags, thought about trying them but I rarely ever carry my G3c.

 

Bull****. I’m gonna buy another HK. But I do love my Glocks.

 

If it’s as reported in a 26 length slide and 19 length frame, put me down for one.
