The Glock Gen5s didn't stop with the models 17 and 19. The Glock 26 also underwent the generational modifications. Design enhancements for the 26 include the Glock Marksman Barrel (GMB) with enhanced polygonal rifling and an improved barrel crown, a lack of finger grooves or flared mag well, ambidextrous slide stop levers, contoured and beveled front end, optional night sights, and an nDLC finish exclusive to Glock. Watch the video from Industry Day at the Range as Joe Kurtenbach explains more of the changes for the Gen5 models. For more, visit Glock.us.
