How to make a Glock 26 a Glock 17

Postby Ron Burgundy on Mon Apr 25, 2011 7:16 pm

Does anyone have an experience with XGrip mag adapters? I'd like a Glock 26 for carry and a Glock 17 for the range but my wallet can only handle one.

No experience with the x-grip. A handful of years ago, though, before x-grip capitalized on the idea, a guy was making k-dex extenders to run longer mags in the compact s&w m&ps. Great for range use but awkward to carry.

I'm doing that with the G21 mags into the G30. 11 rounds for concealment 14 rounds when on Minneapolis Bike paths. :D :D :D

If your Glock is not abused, you should have a firm contact even with longer magazines. I am not sure why you would need to add anything to the magazine for this "support". I have used magazines that stick out with no issues in tactical classes under "duress" and it was fine.

Law enforcement and military personnel can carry the Glock 26-27 with a standard magazine when concealment is important, then insert the full size high capacity magazine with the XGRIP GL26-27 when maximum firepower and capacity become critical.

Evidently it doesnt work unless your either Law enforcement or Military :bolt:

This is a nice idea, but it really isn't necessary in my opinion.

Try firing your G26 with 15 or 17 round magazines. You might be surprised how unnecessary something like this is.

If you are looking for capacity at the range all you should need is a larger magazine. The only time I shot a G26 was with a 30 rd magazine at the range. It ran just fine.
