I can only speak for one (mine) but my G26 has been the most reliable Glock I own and shoot. I've had at one time either a FTE or a FTF with my G19 and my G17 but my G26 has never had an issue. Not only is it stone reliable but it's pretty darn accurate to boot!

i don't shoot my 26 nearly as much as my 17, but i've no zero failures in <1000 rounds. it is easily as accurate as my 17 (which means its more accurate than me).

it's a fantastic gun for deep concealment- definitely a "buy."

i think you'd be hard pressed to find a more reliable subcompact.

the only thing i've found mine not to like is very light reloads. a very nice shooting gun too.

Mine is reliable. I intentionally tried to make it malfunction, even going so far as to hold it upside down with just my thumb and index finger holding the gun while I worked the trigger with the other hand. ( taking care to ensure the muzzle pointed at backstop the entire time). I went through an entire magazine without issues.

I trust mine completely.

G26...utterly reliable and easy to shoot in my experience

[OPPFOR]

I own both. I've never had a problem with my G26. Conceals very well and you might find that you shoot it better than a G19. My experience anyway.

I have never had ever any problems with my G26, G27, G19, G23, G30, G36, G36/30 Hybrid. Glocks are the most reliable guns ever and in my opinion the G26 is as close to perfection as it could be and I find it as accurate as my G19. BTW I do not work for Glock and I don't own stock in Glock.

My results have varied a bit from the group consensus. Remember that my sample size is 1, and with that in mind my 26 has run a bit less reliably than my 19,17 and 34. Don't get me wrong I love my 26 and it is my normal EDC; however, whereas I have had mabey 1 or 2 malfunctions w/ my 19 and 34, none w/ 17 over the course of several thousand rounds. I have had approximately 5 malfunctions over the course of about 700-1000 rds, (very rough estimate).

I suspect some were due to limp wristing (my friends were the shooters at the time), and then with a very particular batch of ammo that I picked up at a gunshow, "factory new", but no idea who the actual factory was, I had several FTE's with that batch of ammo that my other glocks did fine with. I suspected the FTEs were partially ammo related and partially because the extractor was dirty. so I detailed stripped it and cleaned it, checking for chip/cracks and it seemed fine and since it has run well using a variety of ammo.

I have faith in the pistol and trust it, but I don't find MY 26 as absolutely reliable as my other Glocks. just my humble observations. All machines fail on rare occasion so I don't sweat it too much, but I am going to run my G26 some more on monday to reverify its function

My G26 is just as accurate and reliable as my G19 and G17. It's great for concealed carry when wearing shorts and a tshirt.
