GLOCK 26

The GLOCK 26 is a pistol manufactured by GLOCK. It is a sub-compact frame GLOCK based on the GLOCK 19 and chambered for the 9mm Luger round. It features a small frame, short barrel and slide, and small magazine. It is a very popular self-defense and carry pistol, owing in part to the popularity of the 9 mm Luger round, of which the GLOCK 26's standard magazine can hold 10.

The Glock 26 is classified by GLOCK to be a sub-compact pistol for the purpose of concealed carry and sometimes referred to as the "Baby GLOCK". It's double-stack design allows it to carry more 9mm rounds than other single-stack pistols of similar grip length, though it is not limited to the standard 10-round magazine. The GLOCK 26 can also use the magazines from the GLOCK 17, 18, 19, and 34. This makes it a popular backup for law enforcement officers who carry one of the GLOCK handguns as their duty pistol.
