Gen4 Glock 26: WHAT'S SO DIFFERENT ?

About this video

Colion reviews the Glock 26 Gen 4, examining the changes Glock made in response to common user complaints about previous generations. He walks through improvements including the new matte finish, aggressive grip texture, reduced grip size with interchangeable backstraps, and the inclusion of three magazines instead of two. Colion shares his personal preferences on each change, particularly praising the new grip sizing as a solution that accommodates different hand sizes.

Key takeaways

• Colion explains that Glock’s Gen 4 includes a more aggressive grip texture that improves control during shooting but may cause discomfort when carrying concealed against skin
• Colion highlights that the Gen 4 features a reduced base grip size with two optional backstraps (medium and large), which he believes addresses longstanding complaints about grip thickness and accommodates various hand sizes
• Colion notes that Gen 4 Glocks include three magazines instead of the typical two, which he views as generous compared to competitors who sometimes include only one magazine
