The G26 is considered a "Baby Glock" Felt recoil will be more with the sub compact. I Own XD's and have owned an XDm9. Awesome Pistols! they shoot great. I shoot a Glock for competition because the mag release works well. My XDm had a serious issue with releasing the mag, even the mfg was aware. They wanted me to send it in.


I'm down by Rochester, is that pretty close?

Me

Want to shoot a G26 tonight ?



Thanks! I liked it and now I have shot a Glock. I was more accurate with it than my Kahr. Trigger reset was quicker and easier for me to find. Might need to buy one.

Course Vlad had to go and have me shoot his 1911 too. I think it said Springfield Match Target on the side and it had a long barrel. I shot it even better yet.

Ended up buying an XDM for a great price (new) and haven't looked back....That said, I've always wondered what all the hype is about since I've only held one, not fired one. It felt like a lightweight brick in my hand and didn't aim where I pointed it, like my XDM does... but I do wonder how well I'd actually shoot one.


You must have some special hands if they won't aim the gun where you point it. Do you moisturize your hands with lotion before caressing the ergonomic grip of your XDM? :mrgreen: I would recommend not falling in love with a gun before you take it to the range...

I Can Shoot Glocks. I Can compensate for the grip angle. They don't naturally point for me like 1911's and the M&P.

Applying lotion to your hands physiologically changes the angle relationship between the hand-wrist-forearm........ :?
