When the 26 was released by Glock in the 90’s, there was only one extension. allowed by Glock /GSSF in competition that was Pearce.

Fast forward 20 plus years, I’ve retained (3) 26’s and have kept
(40) mags with Pearce plus two extensions. I’ve never had a failure in averaging over 15k rounds a year and still smart carry this platform today.

Sorry I cannot comment on the Taran nor the Glock Oem extension as they both entered later in the picture.

I believe I have $9.95 a piece or $400.00 in extensions.... but never a hiccup. No need for more, different, or a reason of interest as it was one thing less to be concerned with.

 

The interesting thing about mag extensions for this application is that you can just run the factory unaltered Magazines. and get higher capacity. It’s also interesting to note that a factory +2 extension is in total length only shorter by the thickness of the base plate when compared to a factory 15 round magazine that you can buy on sale for $19.99 from CDNN. That sale just ended three days ago. I think even when they’re not on sale they’re like $22. Yes, the +2 factor extension is shaped slightly different so it’s smaller but the absolute length again is literally almost the same. So why not have a +5 and a reliable less expensive package if it will all work for you?

 

On my G26 I have been running Glock +2 and Pearce +2 for over two decades without any problem whatsoever. They are not as expensive as the TTIs but work flawlessly.
But given my very positive experience with the TTI extensions on my G43s, I would not anticipate any issue with them for the G26 or other Glocks models...

 

I have a bunch of G26 mags with various makes of +2 extensions. They all work fine. However, I'll toss out a suggestion to you with what I (and a lot of us here) have done; Use a Glock 19 mag with an Xgrip. It's the same overall length as using a +2 extension (or very close) and you don't have to worry about if the spring fits and all that stuff. And it feels fantastic to shoot. Plus you pick up an additional 5 rounds instead of 2.

 

Use a Glock 19 mag with an Xgrip.

 

Nothing in their on-line catalog. Have you looked at the 12 round P-mags? I like the idea of a purpose designed higher capacity magazine vs extensions on standard capacity mags.

 

And... The P mags for
MOST people have proven very reliable, very inexpensive, and really are just a little bit longer to get your 12 rounds . ( if a short handle is important to you )

I've seen a lot of videos on the 12 round Pmag. Some good, some bad. I don't think I wanna take a chance on them.

 

For $12 and change, it might be worth a chance. Use it as a range mag for a few hundred rounds until it proves out.

You absolutely can use the Taran Tactical extensions on Glock 26 magazines. I have half a dozen on various Glock 26 mags and they have all functioned flawlessly. I really like how they add 3 rounds to the magazine giving me a 13+1 capability. They also almost perfectly split the difference in size between the flush fit 10 round magazine and the 15 round Glock 19 magazine.

TT +3 extension.

Glock 19 mag for comparison.

I will echo what pokersamurai posted above. The Taran Tactical Glock 19 +3 extension works flawlessly with Glock 26 mags, adding 3 rounds to give 13 + 1 capacity for only about a half inch increase in length. Extremely concealable, 14 rounds total, and heavy enough to be more controllable than micro 9mm pistols.

 

The X grip is great, I have them for my P2Ksk and 33. I would give that P mag a shot if I had a 26. Midway is solid and I've heard P mag is also if it doesn't work 100%.

 

I’ve tested (2) PMAG 12 round mags in a G26 and a Ruger PC 9mm carbine. Both worked flawlessly.

 

I've been using $10 or less Pearce since about 1989. I'm not ninja enough to "run" them, but I've never had a problem with one. I'm sure Taran Tactical are just as good.

 

Bren, good post. I’m also a fan of Pearce Grip extensions. High quality, excellent functionality, inexpensive, and positive aesthetics (very similar to OEM in appearance).
