Anyone have recommendations for IWB holsters specifically for Glock 26? Seems a lot that comes up in searches are G19 holsters that happen to fit G26s.

Here's one that I'd feel confident using.

The 629 I'm currently waiting on picking up was only $800.

Please tell me about it. Even better, post some pics when you get it.

Flat out, I'm a hobby shooter, I carry a g20 as my Daily. (it's a g3) I have my trigger worked, you know why? Not because I'm delta and that .000004 inch and half lb pull will make me head shot jace but I'm a fucking trigger snob. That's it.

The only pistols I've left mechanically stock are those that came from CZ Custom (not sure that counts as stock). Even if I don't change fire control parts I always swap sights to either Dawson Precision or Warren Tactical. We spend a lot of resources on these weapons and our skills with them; they should be configured as we see fit. As long as we don't compromise their reliability I say change what you want when you want.


I think the manual safety is in a silly position and I wonder how much this will cost. If it's anything like it's predecessor I doubt I could even afford to finger-fuck one.

I'm sorry but this is all wrong. I've got some expensive hardware and if I didn't have a nice 6" 2011 with a holo sun I'd probably bite the bullet and pay MSRP for the Luago Alien. What is it now? still over 4K out of the box no accessories?

Putting the Alien in a combat context or even a concealed carry context? No. Just no. I can live with/the Glock itself can live with my ass/belt line summer sweat on my 27 but, a Laugo Alien? No. Not to mention anything concealed carry better have 5+ years to that exact model without any "Sig P320 bullshit", hiccups or weird ammo preferences. CCW needs to be reliable, ugly and light the end.

While I'm bitching did they seriously call it the "Remus" after "Alien Romulus" was released 2 months ago?

I know a dude who's wife has one and he says the tolerances are too tight to be a truly reliable gun since it needs very frequent cleanings. That's something I'd worry about if it's sucking in lint and dirt all the time while carried. This guns and others like it are pretty much toys, which nobody seems to admit. It's also rarely mentioned, but in a new Ben Stoeger vid he says it gets really hot after a few mags to the point of not being able to shoot it.
2011s are sick and everybody keeps trying to replace them with something else, but they're really not replaceable. They're just not a good choice for carry or combat/anything dirty, and if their tolerances were loosened in order to function while dirty, they'd suck ass and lose what they have going for them.

Reminds me of shooting my dad's Cobra FS380, where the safety flips down to fire. It falls out of safe if you bump the gun. I imagine an Alien would have a bit more reliability but it still makes me wonder why they designed it like that when there's already a thumbrest/safety literally right below it. It just makes me appreciate the CZ 75 safety even more, where the grip I use to fire the gun is the exact same I use to release the safety if I need to. No fiddling with it or readjusting grip to reach the safety, so flipping back to safe is also instant.

Complications like this seem to explain why people created grip safeties and bladed trigger safeties in the first place, especially for duty/concealed carry.

Edit: Found a photo of the Cobra safety, it's pretty hilariously simple, doesn't seem to have any way to apply tension to keep it from falling in or out of safe. Cobra-FS380-Factory-Original-380-Metal-Safety.webp

What is the point of a $4k EDC that won't run if its dirty, or gets too hot to handle after a couple of mags?

If I'm going to EDC something expensive as fuck that gets too hot after a few magazines, its at least going to be a gun that fucking works if it gets dirty.

Like this one.

What’s a good pistol mag holder I can throw on a 2 inch molle weave belt? Ideally I want to have a cant angle so I don’t have to fully rotate a magazine 180°. Retention bungee is a plus.

Currently I'm in a cool down period for buying handguns but I'll have it around 1/12. The only picture I have currently has my FFL's info which I'd rather not share here for privacy reasons. So the backstory is that as a joke with a friend we talked about doing matching Clint Eastwood costumes for Halloween 2025 and we both needed to find a 29 or 629. I found one on guns.com for $880 and was waiting until my next paycheck to get it. Meanwhile, I asked my FFL if they knew anyone selling one and they said they didn't but would keep an eye out. Two weeks later I walk in because I needed to do the 4473 for other guns and sitting in the display case was a used 629 with a 6" barrel and the rubber S&W grip for $800, it came from someone who was red flagged and decided to sell everything off. It wasn't in the store for a day when I bought it. I fully intend on buying wood grips.
 
GUESS WHO BOUGHT ANOTHER GUN DRUKK I DON'T NEED??!?!??

also uuhh 10.4 isn't cheap to shoot. I'm so fucking retarded.

That's what happens when you prioritize low cost over literally everything else. That operates the same as a Raven MP25 safety, which is not a surprise as the Cobra automatics (as well as many other Saturday night specials) are just copies of the Raven action scaled to different calibers.

My dad is an engineer and collects p7s his daily is an m8 he's got a psp an m10 stainless 40.

Absolutely lovely pistols. I'm a simp and tbh I'm not a huge HK fan but the engineer genes geek me out on it. He's offered to sell me the psp and I can afford it but I'm a cheap fgt (also I'll get it when he croaks) so I carry my glawk .

If you never actually ran a mag in a p7 honestly do it before you speak on them. I'm not trying to be mean but it's such a odd ball you can't say oh i understand it's system. I get it.

Really nice gun super cool.

Back when P7's were still under $1k I came across one and finger fucked it. Really liked the squeeze to cock concept that gave it a really nice trigger for a striker gun.

Still kicking myself that I didn't buy it, man what a sweet gun. Didn't even care that it had a heel release mag, I found it kind of 'quaint", and it sort of belongs on such an odd-ball Euro pistol.

I dont know man. Last time I was in a gunfight and I was 4 mags deep with my Staccato I was happy for all that extra mass.

A lot of carry guys are delusional.

I'm curious what the heck type of situation you were in. That sounds like either multiple aggressors or suppressing fire (which using a pistol for must be an unusual experience).

I carry an extra magazine when I'm running anything single stack or I'm with the wife. If not it's usually just the pistol. If I find out the hard way I needed the extra magazine I was probably fucked to begin with.
