Glock 26 Gen 5

[bdy83]

My initial range session showed some promise - 252 rounds downrange without a real hitch, though the gun did not lock back on two occasions. I’m trying to identify whether that is a grip issue or something else. I shot a 97 freestyle on a B8 while confirming zero at 25 yards, so the thing is plenty accurate for me. I did well on my baseline drills and tests. However, I have an IDPA match and a training event scheduled this month to continue wringing things out.

What magazine base plate is that?

Geeplate

Thanks

Can someone take a pic of their Gen5 with geeplate and a support hand only grip?

I'm curious how much it ends up squishing the fingers together (if at all).

Thank you @camsdaddy

I didn't realize you couldn't get a pinky on there with a gee plate. Why is it recommended?

The extension locks between your pinky and the next finger up. They lock your grip in.

If you're searching for a four-finger grip, perhaps Pearce has something for you:

I don't have one but I would imagine it helps the hand leverage off of it to get the hand has high up on the pistol and lock in the grip as high as possible. This would be the same for the effectiveness of finger groves. Despite Glock moving away from them because they didn't fit everyone, I think they served a specific purpose. I would take a look at how Bob Vogel uses his strong hand to grip the gun and if you grip a pistol that way, some type of leverage is beneficial unless you modded the gun somehow to make it more grippy. His grip starts at approx 1:00 minute. Its worth the watch.
