Welcome! It's great to have another Glock guy!
Hit the range as many times as you can while you wait!

And carry at home and in your vehicle. This will help get accustomed to carrying and help firm what you like and dislike.twjones wrote:Welcome! It's great to have another Glock guy!

Re: let the wait begin
thanks guys !
i am waiting on my holster that i bought from vetter (light tuck) , i am going to be traveling out of town to dallas this weekend for a wedding so i am going to carry in my car and hotel. i am checking to see what is the hotel policy on that. any recommendation how should i carry if i don't have my holster yet? should i keep it in the case the firearm came in? or in the glove compartment loaded but no bullet in the chamber?
i should have taken my chl and submitted the info sooner too as we will be traveling to Fl for a week - do you guys think i should/can carry my weapon to FL even if i don't have my CHL? i know FL is a friendly state, but i would only be able to carry in room or vehicle( we are not renting a car there either).
thanks !

Re: let the wait begin
i love my G26 so far, even without the pierce grip i got i think its OK to carry/shoot. its an ugly gun but from my research its reliable , accurate and serves the purpose i want.twjones wrote:Welcome! It's great to have another Glock guy!

probably down the road, i've seen so many videos on Youtube with people changing the sights so it seems alot of people are doing that to get better aim at night. did you? which ones did you change too and did you do that yourself?
Re: let the wait begin
I did. I like the Meprolight sights. But there are plenty of good ones out there. Yes, I installed them myself.chl-dawg wrote:twjones wrote:Excellent... adding any night sights to it?chl-dawg wrote:i love my G26 so far, even without the pierce grip i got i think its OK to carry/shoot. its an ugly gun but from my research its reliable , accurate and serves the purpose i want.twjones wrote:Welcome!

Re: let the wait begin
Welcome! I also carry a Glock 26. I recently put XS big dot sights with tridium front and rear. I love em! And they are from Fort worth
Re: let the wait begin
great thanks for the info guys ! i will probably upgrade them next. so when you get those new sights, are you able to see them better in pitch dark?
i only got the perice grip so far on one magazine, i will get a second one for my backup. so far the mag release has been fine ive seen some that would upgrade that and other shooters change the trigger ..i don't understand that yet i guess its smoother pull? i am new to owning a gun as this is my first. so far i've enjoyed shooting and each time i've gone to the range i've been getting better and feel comfortable. i used to flinch at first but now i am gripping harder and trying to focus and not flinch when it goes bang.

Re: let the wait begin
Yes they glow really well. Videos online don't do them justice. I carry also with the piece pinky extension and I carry the flush fit mag as back up. The XS make shooting almost to easy!
Re: let the wait begin
I checked the videos on the XS and they seem good, it may be my next upgrade :) if they help at night and finding the target !!cmgee67 wrote:Yes they glow really well.
