Looks like about $400 more or so, on average, than similar sized/outfitted Glocks…though I’ll admit I didn’t do a ton of research to find the cheapest online price as I would if I were interested in one.

Correct they are More expensive than a Glock. My justification for extra coin was the following:
Multi optic direct mount no plate unless you use a mailbox optic like the Steiner or Aimpoint ect.
Better trigger and flat faced.
The frame and slide on the premium models has all of the slide cuts and frame work done to it instead of sending it off for undercuts and the optional grip change that changes the angles. Bu the time you send a Glock off to have the same work your at or over the price of a Shadow Systems Elite model and in some cases the Combat models.
The combat models have the same frame cuts at the higher grade models just no slide work and is the same price as a new Glock.

I’ve pretty much moved back to DA/SA hammer fired and revolvers. Last three strikers I have left are a G23.5 MOS, G27.5, and a Hellcat RDP. I suspect eventually the Glocks will get traded in on something and I’ll keep the Hellcat for it’s micro size, though it could go too since I picked up an FN Reflex MRD (hammer fired SA with safety).

Just buy a Glock 19.

300 bucks on something that’s marginally smaller than a 19?
I got rid of my 26’s years ago, The slide length compared to a 19 is not much shorter. The stubby grip was what made it more concealable.
But hey….If you’re a 26 owner you do you.
Just saying.

LOL, whomever you shoot will not be concerned about what the gun looks like. THAT is the reason I don't go shopping for "pretty" guns, they cost a lot more and do not do any better service.
Didn't make what? The 26X??
Correct.

This is not a factory Glock pistol. It's a Glock Store pistol, not Glock Inc. They may be using some Glock factory parts.

Here is a De Facto G27X . G23 mag w/ sleeve .
The OEM length mag w/ +2 extention is about same length on the front , the longer mag with sleeve is aproximately the size and shape if G19 size grip .
You can spin it either way . The full grip gives better placement for heel of hand , for people with big hands . The +2 would make very slightly more concealable , with FBI tilt carry position .
Actually , once upon a decade , there was a Mini Fad for the Reverse Concept of the G26X .
Start with a G19 , and shorten and reshape the grip to G26 length . The reasoning was that the slide length would be inside an IWB . So the thinking was the concealment of a G26 , but the longer sight radius , and less muzzle flip of G19 .
But alas nowadays , the flavor of the week is stubby bbl , and maxium mag capacity .

The X series Glocks make no sense to me. The butt is the hard part to hide, not the BBL. So I cut my Glock 19 grip frame down to 26 dimensions back in the day when you had to buy a custom slide from Suarez to get a RMR mount. Works great for me. Stock 19 on the right. In the winter when it is easier to hide a big iron, I use the full size grip frame on the TSD upper.

The concept of the “Glock 26X” has been around for a while and is a favorite “hack” of the 80 percenters and 3D printing enthusiasts. The issue is that the G43X, while a great gun, is somewhat snappy due to its short grip. Additionally, aftermarket magazines that increase the capacity to 15+1 shots can sometimes compromise performance.
Enter the G26X, which combines the best features of the Glock 43X, 19, and 26 into one ideal EDC handgun.

All generations of Glock 26, 27, and 33 slides fit and function.
"The issue is that the G43X, while a great gun, is somewhat snappy due to its short grip."
I can understand this being said about the 43 but not the 43X.
The grip on the 26X appears to be no longer than that on the 43X.
