Glock 26 Gen 5

[blues]

Where did you get the 12 rounders? Do you know what gen the followers are? I think I read they have a gen 7 for the 26 now. I saw them at one place but they were 30+ bucks. New to Glocks but I always thought Glock mags were supposed to be inexpensive.

I mention which followers were in all of the relevant magazines in the posts just above the one you quoted.

Got a couple of the 12's at an online mag warehouse I've dealt with previously...and one was gifted to me by a generous member here.

I believe all the followers were #6 but for my 10 rounders which were #7.

Ok thanks Ill go there and check it out. If its 30+ I may just buy the glock extension to give it a try first.
I knew I read that somewhere must be the old timers kicking in.

I spoke to a long time friend, who is definitely in a position to know, and he was not aware with any problems with the G5 26. He did say that using extended magazines in a 26, depending upon the magazine and torque applied to the extended part of the magazine, could cause issues.

Id venture a gentlemany wager involving large amounts of PF Dollars that if anyone knows about problems with the 26.5 it would be @HCM

None I'm aware of. When my agency tested Gen5 Glocks, the 26.5 was the only model that passed. FBI authorized G26.5's after Glock declined to make G26M's.

Could you go into detail about the other issues that that arose in the gen 5 glocks, and were they corrected.
? If you cannot, I understand.

It’s been discussed here many times. Broken trigger return spring assemblies between 1k and 3-4K rounds.

It’s strange that FBI, CBP, USSS etc had no such issues.

The Glock armorers manuals indicate such issues are usually the result of improper reassembly but no further details are available.

Need to “pin” these posts.

I've wondered how the pinky torqueing the extended part of the magazine affected how the round is presented to the feed ramp. And if this affected function. So far no problem in my 12-round OEM Glock magazines.

Every issue I’ve ever had with a G26, in which I remembered to actually document the magazine in use at the time, occurred with some kind of extended magazine. The two stoppages I can’t definitively state which magazines were in use were likely with a G19 or 17 magazine but I can’t say for sure. Every other issue I’ve had with either my Gen4 or Gen5 G26 occurred with a Magpul 12 rounder, or an OEM G19 or G17 magazine. I believe the torque from the pinky directly on the magazine does play a role in reliable feeding.

I hate to sound like a curmudgeon, but I’m no fan of anything more than the Glock +2 magazine in any gun for this very reason.
