I have read so much gushing about the baby 26 that I think I will grab one tomorrow. Should I stick with Gen 3 or do you recommend the Gen 4? I want to join the baby 9 club. I am big-handed so backstraps are not essential. But maybe it's a better gun. Or maybe with the backstrap off it is a smaller gun. Anyway, either way, my 17 & 23'll have a little bro.

I'm real happy with my two 3rd gen 26s. I haven't checked out the gen 4s, you'll need to hold them and see.

The Gen4 26 is almost identical to the 3rd Gen, so I would just go with the one that fits your hand better. If you prefer one texture over the other, that's the way to go. I have a 3rd Gen and it's a great gun and surprisingly accurate.

I forgot to add that I went with a used 3rd gen because I prefer the look of the slick black finish that they used to have. If the Gen4 26's had that finish, I would have bought a Gen4.

Buy either you will be happy. Can't go wrong!

Thanks guys -- I have a feeling that it all comes down to preference. There's no real "wait, don't get the 4 because it sucks" -- I am going to leave it stock, though I might get some sort of grip tape like Agrip Grips or Talon Grip Tape or GripTape or Decal Grip or Gorilla Grip or maybe nothing at all.

Gen4 for sure in a Baby Glock.

 

[mt920]

Get the Gen4.... You'll get an extra magazine....

 

[jamaicanj]

Either way...congrats!!!

 

[jolfe]

Get the 4th. It's absolutely sweet!

 

[Glock40man]

Either one!

Both should be awesome choices. I did opt for the Gen 3 and love it. The Gen 4 didnt have anything i really needed badly and since i am carrying combat cut style IWB i prefer the less aggressive grip. Once again just preference. HOld each and see what YOU like.

I am happy to hear that the Gen 4 isn't like Classic Coke -- that people actually like them versus "the version that make Glock suck." Thanks, everyone.

I love my Gen 3, but I really don't think you can go wrong either way.

 

[ChaneRZ]

Gen 3!

 

[Warp]

3rd Gen

Congrats on the G26.

Congrats on the G26.

I don't own it yet, however, I will be heading off to get a feel for them and, alas, will probably be coming home with one. I have never seen a pistol receive such universal love.

It just seems to be a favorite amongst everyone and anyone who does not have a hatred for the round that doesn't "knock someone down" such as the .45ACP-lovers, the 10mm-lovers, and the .40S&W-lovers, all of whom live in a world of 400lb PCP-addled raging murderous madmen!

That's why I bought the G23 that I love: I bought the knock-down, man-stopper hook, line, and sinker.

No regrets but 9mm Glocks are so lovely to shoot.

Either one will be good.
