The Glock 26 is a subcompact 9mm pistol. It is the smallest of the Glock 9mm handguns and one of the most popular police guns when it comes to back up or off duty weapons. The Glock 26 was designed along with all the other Baby Glocks as an alternative to snub nose pistols that officers had been carrying. With the Glock 26 police officers can still carry a small pistol and have full confidence that the weapon they are carrying will stop the threat.
The Glock 26 features many of the same qualities that all the other Glock pistols have that make them some of the best police guns. The Glock 26 features the safe action system, lightweight frame, and very accurate design. Best Police Guns has listed all of the Glock 26 specifications below.

Best Police Guns has shot the Glock 26 several times. Just like all the other Glock handguns, Best Police Guns likes the Glock 26. It is very accurate and reliable. When we compared the Glock 26 to the Glock 27 we didn't notice any difference. The kick back between the two different calibers was very minimal and not even an issue. The only thing that is important when choosing one of the baby Glocks is to make sure you match the caliber to your full size Glock duty weapon. The reason this is important is because you are able to put a full size magazine into the baby Glocks should you ever need to. So if you carry a Glock 17 then you would get a Glock 26 because they are both 9mm pistols.
There are a few accessories that you can get on the Glock 26 and those accessories are very minor ones. You are not able to put a tactical light on the Glock 26 because it does not have rails. Best Police Guns always recommending putting on an aftermarket grip like a Hogue grip. The grip of the Glocks are a little slippery when your hands get moist. The Hogue grip allows you to maintain a good grip on it. Another key accessory is the grip extender. This is a small extension that fits in the butt of the Glock 26 grip that extends the grip a little bit allowing for you to get more of your hand on the grip.
Overall, RG Gunsny likes the Glock 26 and highly recommends it for anybody looking for a subcompact 9mm pistols
Glock 21
The Glock 21 is a full size .45 automatic handgun. It is the original big bore handgun made by Glock and carried by many police officers as their duty issued handgun. While not the most popular Glock pistol used daily, it is sure up there with the Glock 17 and Glock 22. One of the reasons that the Glock 21 is popular is because it can hold 13 rounds in the magazine. That is more than most other .45 pistols can. One of the key differences in the Glock 21 than the other Glock pistols is that the Glock 21 has a lighter slide. This lighter slide is what helps the Glock 21 be so accurate. In all of the Glock 21 reviews you will see that people rave about the accuracy of the Glock 21. Best Police Guns has fired the Glock 21 on several occasions and can attest to the accuracy of the Glock 21. Obviously some of the accuracy has to do with the shooter. A handgun can only be as accurate as the shooter is.
One of the most common concerns that Best Police Guns reads in Glock 21 reviews is that people are concerned with the kickback of the Glock 21. As like all other police guns, kickback is only an issue if you aren't properly holding onto the firearm. Yes a .45 auto is going to have more kick than a 9 mm police gun, but it is manageable.
A lot of people get the Glock 21 and the Glock 21C confused and think the Glock 21C is a compact version of the Glock 21. That is incorrect. The compact Glock .45 auto is the Glock 38 and the subcompact Glock .45 auto is the Glock 39. The Glock 21C is a full size .45 auto but is considered a Glock compensator pistol. The Glock "C" models contain an integrated compensator which produces a higher rate of accuracy during rapid fire. Typically the Glock 21C is used during competitions.
Glock 21 specifications:
* Caliber- .45 auto
* Weight (Loaded)- 1085 grams
