Here are the included backstraps that make the grip either 2mm or 4mm bigger.
Now for the range report. I started with Federal 115gr FMJ and had a failure to feed on the 2nd round. That kind of freaked me out knowing about the g17/g19 problems. I continued firing and had two more FTFs and one instance of the slide not locking back on the last round. Don't know if I was limp-wristing or what, but at that point I was really freaked out. Took a short break and started firing 115gr Speer Gold Dots. The G26 ate them right up without a single hiccup. I felt much better after that. In a few days, I'll go back to the range and try the Gen4 with some Speer Lawman.
Altogether, I'm neutral about the Gen4 G26. I like the smaller grip, but am not thrilled with the grip texture or failures that I experienced. Hopefully, my opinion will change for the better after spending a little more time with the gun.
