Me too, first subcompact Glock was a G27 in '91.
Back in '90-'91, .45 Auto was best, the new .40 S&W was "the ideal compromise caliber" for handguns, and real men were just a little bit ashamed to carry a "wondernine".
"Therefore, since the world has still... Much good, but much less good than ill,
And while the sun and moon endure, Luck's a chance, but trouble's sure,
I'd face it as a wise man would, And train for ill and not for good." -- A.E. Housman
As expected, zero issues with the second USA slide Glock 26.5.
Installed my preferred Ameriglo setup, a gadget, and rode off into the wilderness.
250 rounds 124gr Speer Lawman
50 rounds 147gr Federal HST
To my surprise, it was the first time I didn’t have to adjust the sights while zeroing. I’d post my target, but George would tell me it needs to go a “skosh” left.
Here she is, patiently waiting in her natural environment for the G48 lust to die down.
That pistol is so retro I am surprised Brownell’s isn’t making one.As expected, zero issues with the second USA slide Glock 26.5.

Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
Nah, if it were really retro, the slide and dust cover wouldn't match contours
I thought all 26 gens matched slide and dust cover contours. My gen 3 does.
OK thanks, so maybe I'm not crazy. Not likely, but maybe. I have only a fam fire through mine and was struck by how soft it recoiled vs the G43. It's not a G45 but it's not harsh at all I didn't think.

Of all the subjective impressions any shooter tries to communicate to another shooter, perceived recoils sits on the top of that list.

Was just a tongue in cheek reference to the very earliest gen 5 guns that didn't match. The 26 may have come out after that was rectified, I'm not sure.
My first glock was also a glock 27. My first gat was a hk usp compact 45. I wanted a 9mm but as I was looking it over a police man walked into the gun shop. He came over to me and started checking out the pistols I was looking at. He asked me which I was going to get. I said the 9mm, he laughed at me and pointed to the barrel on the usp 45 and said " see the size of that hole?" Uncomfortably I answered yes. The police officer said " no one will f*&k with you when you point that at him!
Took it home and shot it a few times and couldn't hit anything with it. Traded it on a sig 2340 in 357 sig because that was the new hotness, then finally a glock 27 which ended up being the least reliable glock I ever owned. Went through RSA like crazy on that gun.
What say Y'all? Glock 26.5 or Glock 48?
