Yes! In the world. Remember it's only my opinion. People are more than free to disagree. That's what that chump moderator doesn't seem to understand. It's an opinion. If you don't agree; so be it. Speak your peace, and move on. What's so hard about that?
G26 the most reliable small 9mm?

I'd go with an HKP2000sk over a glock 26, 27, 28, 572 or any other originally named model. I'd put my money on the HK for being more reliable and durable. I don't have a side by side test to compare them but in addition to an HKP2000 and HKP2000SK I do own a Glock 21sf, M&P40, and XD40. HK tops them all IMO. Glocks are great guns but they come in on my list after HK and M&P.

The G26 is just plain too small for my big hands, I carry a Springfield Ultra Compact in 45ACP now after carrying the G26 for almost a year and didn't like the grip angle or trigger..... too each their own and I own a G17 and G20, but the G26 is definitely not among my favorites...

lol.... Its been so long since i've heard anybody called a chump...... refreshing.
The G26 looks like a great pistol, I just wish it were a little more pocket-able, now if GLOCK made a thinner, lighter single stack sub compact 9mm, I'd be on it like the proverbial "stink on a monkey".

I'm sure that there's nothing wrong with the Glock but I'll stick with the HK2000sk too. Mine has been nothing but reliable and I prefer semi-autos that have a hammer and a decocker.

Nothing at all. You have obviously moved on...to another forum.

I'd buy one. You shouldn't hold your breath though, Glock is always slow to jump on the proverbial bandwagon. Meaning the slim CCW bandwagon in this instance.
I'd also wish they would make a dedicated .22 pistol. But, that probably won't happen either.

their main market segment seems to be LE and military around the world. probably don't see a need to purchase new equipment/employees to pump out .22 caliber or slimline 9mm glocks just for the american market. just a theory
Glock Fan Boys
Walther P99C or PPS. These Glock fan boys sound like Washington Redskin fans after the team owner Dan Snyder's latest preseason signings and other manueverings. They all believe the Skins are going to the SB and every year since 1999 they are disappointed. They will never win a SB w/Danny Boy Snyder as owner. Keep drinking the Kool Aid Glock fan boys.
You know Glock fan boys remind of my girlfriend and her friends talking about their favorite shoe designer. Glock really needs to come out w/ a Jimmy Choo version for you guys. Remember most state and local contracts just like Fed contracts for acquistion are low bid. You are not buying the best but the lowest cost.
Nothing is 100% reliable except for death and the woman in your life asking you if this dress makes her look fat. You need to have a plan and practice it when not if your hand gun fails to fire.

My Kahr PM9 has now had thousands of rounds through it, ball/ hp, +p,reloads, 100% reliable.I carry it every day. I tried to buy a G26 for the wife, the mag pinched the s*** out of her finger every round, put it back in the show case.
i'm pretty sure that statistics prove that glock is without a doubt a phenomenal choice. i do own a glock 23 and 26. The 26 being my edc. I also own several other guns, which are not glocks, before someone jumps on me here. just speaking from experience here, i love my glocks, never had any issues with any of them at all. As far as going to the lowest bidder for law enforcement and whatnot, i'm sure there's some truth to that. but, i'm pretty sure that law enforcement also puts a lot of emphasis on reliability as well. simply put, anything that's man made, will eventually break or fail at some point, whether it's a glock, 1911, or whatever.....but for me, i'll stick to my glock, like it or not........thank god we live in america where we're allowed to have the rights to ccw and own weapons of our own choice.......
I don't own any Glocks and am not a huge polymer fan, although I think it does have its place in modern firearms, especially for CCW. However, I have shot the G26 and G30, and I was VERY impressed at both the accuracy and the ease of shooting. The LEO community may buy them at low bid, but they wouldn't bet their lives on them if they didn't work.
I would NOT hesitate to buy and carry a G26. For this anti-polymer guy, it seems like one of the best 9MM CCW guns out there.

I like my G 26. A lot. Hasn't failed me once, even when rapidly firing 30 rounds (mag wouldn't take any more) from a somewhat impractical higher capacity mag last week. A waste of money and rounds, I know. I was just curious. Used the 17 and 10 round mags for another 200 rounds of serious practice without a single issue. Don't know if it's the best and since I have fired only about 6 other 9mms I couldn't possibly know. But it works for me.

A small 9mm that surpasses the RELIABILITY of the Glock 26...
Maybe this one:
Of course you sacrifice capacity.
I still prefer the G26....

I've had a G26 for a few years and it's never skipped a beat. However, you'll find similar levels of reliability among many of the brands mentioned above. See what feels most comfortable/easy to shoot accurately and buy it.

Are you referring to the pictured Taurus?! OVER A GLOCK!!!??? They're the only company i know of who can regularly put out a non-functional revolver.

For those of you wondering about how certain pistols are picked by LEOs here's a GAO report on a complaint by Sig.
It seems Sig was upset that they put so much emphasis on reliability.
"Sig Sauer also contends that ATF placed too great an emphasis upon reliability in determining which offers should continue to phase III. In this regard, Sig Sauer argues that reliability was only one of a number of elements to be considered in the live-fire assessment, and notes that reliability was not identified as having any more importance than the other elements. We disagree."

Glock won the contract.
It's easy to say, "my mostest favoritest pistol is the bestest ever", but Glocks have many years of testing and use by numerous LEOs.
Does your pistol?

My pistol is an HKP2000. So yes it does.
