Similar in size and weight to the small-frame snub-nose revolvers it has replaced, the GLOCK 26 fires the popular 9 mm Luger cartridge with minimum recoil and more on-target accuracy at a fast rate of fire. Its an ideal backup for those who use the GLOCK 17 or GLOCK 19 for open carry, even more so since the larger 9mm magazines fit the G26 as well.
