Rubber grip for glock g26 recommendations

[duldej]

Just took delivery of a glock g26 gen 5 a couple days ago. At 50 ft targets, I get better accuracy from it than my Smith 686. Am pleased with that. The recoil is rough, however.

I just today put on the included midsize beavertail, in hopes to calm that down, but now the grip is pretty fat. Recoil or no, I surely need to keep a firm grip on it. Have not yet shot with the beavertail installed.

I like the thick rubber grips of my 686, and think I would like to find something similar to that for the g26.

Anybody have any recommendations?

It sounds like your hands are just too bony. Gain 40lbs of fat and you'll never look back!

I put Talon Grips on every polymer pistol I own.

Talon Grips seconded, but I've since switched to skateboard tape on the grip and parts of the slide.

Yes, skateboard tape...

No judgement here. I stippled my EDC gun. Ugly as sin but does what I need it to do.

Exactly.

For my stuff, zero bubblegums given for how it looks. It's all about function over form for me.

If I know I'm not going to sell it I couldn't care less about appearance.

Little guns buck, you kind of can't get away from that whole equal and opposite thing we learned in High School physics class. You can add weight and cushioning to help or if you want to shoot more get a bigger gun. That's what I do, I have bigger heavier guns I shoot a lot and smaller, lighter guns I carry and shoot some. If you get similar models like a Glock 17 or 19 to go with your 26 it will feel in you hand the same with the same grip angle and texture. As you build familiarity with the bigger guns you'll be able to be more comfortable with the little gun because your hand will feel like we've been here before. As far as shooting skills they are transferable IMHO so shooting more will generally make you a better shot overall.

Get the Pearce mag extensions that give your pinky finger a good purchase on the gun. Just adding those made our G27 much easier to shoot.
(In case you don't know, the G27 is the same size as your G26 but is a .40 S&W rather than a 9mm.)

All my plastic guns get these.

Great idea. Thanks.

It's a very cheap alternative as you can get a roll of it off of Amazon for very little that will last you a very long time. I also put strips of it where my left hand comes in contact with the slide when racking.

problem solved.

Just put the skateboard grip tape on left/right sides of grip. With the better handle on it, there's no shaking and no noticeable kick back.Took me 10 rounds to get used to the feel, but it's solid.

Worked on my stance, today, instead. Shoulder breadth turned out to be a good approach.

PSA time. Friends don't let friends show off their Glocks with locks…….

Thanks. Just bought a ft knox pistol box so no need for the lock anymore.

Also ~350 rounds later, and the grip tape remains an excellent solution.
