This is the latest and best version of the Glock 26. There are more than 20 new features added, and some of the most significant are the nDLC (Diamond-like carbon) finish that contributes durability and resistance to corrosion and scratches, extending the life of the gun for years, the Glock Marksman Barrel (GMB) that improves accuracy during rapid fire and increases the shooting range to 80 feet, and removing the finger grooves from the grip, for better stability and comfort. Trigger pull is also lightened to make shooting even easier. Like all other Glock pistols, this one also has a Safe Action feature that includes three internal safeties. The Gen 5 gives more control and less recoil, it is more ergonomic than previous generations and is highly preferable among the Glock 26 fans.
