Can I put the .40 barrel and slide spring from a G27 into my G26 and shoot .40 from my G26?

No. You need the whole upper. Extractor and all. Frames the same upper is different.

If you had the g27 40 cal you could put in a 9mm or a 357 sig barrel. But the 26 would need the slide and all.

Already been said but I will add. Nope, cause the barrel won't fit. Not too mention the extractor and such. Although maybe with a big enough hammer......Oh wait, nope won't fit sorry

So if I understand correctly, I could purchase the entire slide, barrel...the whole upper part of a G27, and I could slide it right onto my G26?

Yes it can be done. But, before I say that it can be done safely I have to ask how many pin is your G26? If it is a two pin (original design for 9mm) it will be ok for awhile but eventually disaster will strike. If it is a three pin like a lot of the newer ones (guess it just made everything easier only having the one frame style) then it is ok because that was designed for 40.

Can a G26 be made to shoot .40?

you can't make a 26 do anything it doesn't want too.

 

[Tailhunter]

and buy the time you spend the money on parts to do so ... you could pick up a 27 and have two guns.

 

[Glocky]

its a 3 pin...but I get your drifts... if I want a .40, Ill just buy one complete.

It can do it then. But like Tailhunter was saying by the time you purchase a new slide, barrel, channel liner, striker, striker spring, cups, back plate, plunger, sights, recoil rod, mags....you get the idea.

What everyone else said above, plus my .02. Just get yourself a 27 and you'll be a happy camper. That way your 26 will have a cousin to go bang bang with.

How is this different than a Glock 17 and 22 ? I put a Glock 22 (.40 cal) barrel in a Glock 17 (9mm) slide and it works just fine (poly 80 lower) . I don’t get why this would be different . And the reason I bought the g17 slide is because there are sooooooooo many better slides for the g17 available than the g22 which there are not a ton . But again the out diameter of the g17 barrel is identical to the outer diameter barrel of the g22. So I don’t see how the g26 and g 27 would be different

There were no two pin G26s.

You didn't put a 22 barrel in a 17 slide. You could have put a 17 barrel in a 22 slide, but it'd rattle around at the muzzle.

The 22 can be converted to 9mm with a conversation barrel (larger diameter to fill the excess space) but as Walter said, a 22 barrel can’t fit a G17

Glock 17 = 14.488mm
Glock 22 = 14.983mm
