Word is Ed's Public Safety in Stockbridge, GA just received a batch of 100 of these little babies. I will be in a pistol class with one of their employees tomorrow and am kind of hoping by some chance he will have one with him. I doubt it but am hopeful.

That is really tempting! Gen4 G26 or AR? Hmm....

 

[TheLaw]

AR!!!!!

 

[Don Glock]

ar!!!!!

+1 ar

 

[melissa5]

OK, I'm still on board with the AR...

I saw this today, too... Very nice looking! Here's a picture and a link to them on Ed's FaceBook page... One of the few FB pages I ever look at!

sfguard is probably putting his order in as we speak!

They are pretty hot... hmm... I haven't used my 2010 GSSF credit yet... hmm... Got to think about this...

Good choice

 

[LongGoneDays]

I still have a Gen 3 OD 26 on my next to get list. No Gen 4 on the horizon so far.

 

[sbrenner]

Thanks for the picture!

I wish I could get one!

 

[__jb]

Me too...

It's a sweet looking little gun...

I was able to handle a Gen4 G26 today during/after a pistol class. I didn't shoot it as it was going to the sales floor tomorrow. The spring looked the same as the Gen3 G26 but I didn't have one with me to do a side by side. It felt OK but the difference in overal size of the grip with no backstrap attached wasn't as pronounced to me as on the G19.

If I were buying a new G26 anyway I would prob get one.
Would I get one to replace my Gen3 G26? Nope.

I've been thinking about a 26, but I haven't ever shot one... They don't fit my hand too well, but the size is nice for carrying.

I would hope Glock has the 4th gen 9mm recoil spring assembly issue under control by now... the 26 should be good to go...

What class are you taking?

I do have a Gen3 G26 and have had several others over the years. They are great little guns and I've always shot them well ... for me anyway. I am hopeful GLOCK has the spring issue under control now too. I now have a 04 spring for my G19, thanks to one of the instructors, but I haven't installed it yet.

The class yesterday was a Level 2 pistol class with Erik Lund and Tod Litt of USSA.

I had all of my handguns out for a family picture today and noticed that the Walther PPS 9mm is just about the same size as the G36. Now, why couldn't I have thought about that before buying the Walther? Now I'm like, why would I want a 6-round 9mm the size of a G36? Well, I don't. Glad I haven't fired it yet so I can sell it as new and that's what I'm gonna do.

So, that's my reasoning for purchasing the Gen4 G26 from Ed's today.

Yes, I'm still ordering the DD AR15 tomorrow.

Don't hate me cuz I'm wishy washy! LOL!

 

[VolGrad]

Well played Melissa. Well played.

 

[melissa5]

Would you still like to handle the Walther, Vol? I won't be trying to sell it until January 15th at the gun show in Commerce. Yes, I said Commerce. I wonder if that is their very first gun show?

 

[VolGrad]

Nah. I just wanted to handle one just to see how thin they were. I wouldn't ever own one. If I see you for some other reason between now and then (to install NS on that G26 by chance) I will see the Walther. Otherwise, just sell it. I hope you get your money back.

OK. I got the Walther for $567 shipped + $10 FFL fee. Buds has them for $592. I saw them selling for more at the gun show in Gainesville. Surely I can sell it for what I've got in it. Hopefully...

I never read anywere in this thread about "HOW MUCH" these Gen 4 G26s are selling for?
Planning on picking a G26 up soon but don't want to pay alot for it either..
I just saw a Gen 2.5 G26 sell for $435 with two holsters & two boxes of eldorado starfire complete..
I will handle one in two weeks & see what all the fuss is about..
Thanks!!!

With the GSSF discount from Ed's the total is $489 plus a few cents. $425 for the gun and the rest is taxes and GSSF membership.
