I have carried a Glock 19 at work for many, many years. I also used to carry a Glock 26 as a back-up pistol. Both of those were GI guns though, and I never owned one of my own, that is until yesterday when my new Glock 26 arrived at my office via Fed-Ex direct from Glock.
I waited until tonight to open the box to check it out. I figured I'd do it at home, when relaxed, and not in any sort of a hurry. I was pleased with what I saw when I checked it over. Fit and finish seems good, everthing seems to be there, and a function check went well. I gave it a good cleaning, and now it is ready for a range trip tomorrow along with 500 rounds of 115 grain Speer Gold Dot ammunition. If this one is as good a shooter as the one I used to carry on my job I will be pleased as pleased can be since I shot better with that one than I usually did with my issued Glock 19.
As for this one, I got it with the Tritium Night Sights, and the 5.5 pound trigger pull (what a difference from the 8 pound pull on my GI gun). I'll be using it as a back-up pistol for work, and as an off duty carry; and after the end of next year as my primary carry in my retirement years - at least until I get something I like better.
All the best,
Glenn B
