In my opinion, though, the difference is negligible, since you could carry both pistols comfortably. With fully-loaded magazines, they weigh in at 26 and 21 ounces, respectively.īecause of the difference in size, some people might find the 43 a better choice for a concealed carry weapon than the 26. Without the magazine, the 26 weighs in at almost 20 ounces, while the 43 is just over 16. However, the 43 is definitely slightly smaller overall, and it’s even lighter. That makes them ideal concealed carry weapons since they’re both just over 6 inches long, 4 inches tall, and barely over an inch wide.Īlso, both can hold 9mm rounds with 19mm cartridge cases. Look and FeelĪs the name suggests, Baby Glocks are very small. Since then, the pistol has had several iterations, and it’s now in its fifth generation. In fact, back in 1994, the Glock 26 was the first model of the kind. Before we start, it’s good to know that the 26 and 43 models both belong to the category of pistols affectionately known as “Baby Glocks”. Now that we know a bit more about Glocks in general, let’s see how the Glock 26 compares to the newer 43 model. It also allows us to get a better and steadier grip on the pistol, and achieve more precise shots. The added comfort isn’t just good for concealed carry, though. Additionally, since the polymer is nowhere near as heavy as the metal pistols used to be made of, Glocks are also much lighter and comfortable to carry around. The polymer casing keeps Glock guns durable and sleek to this day. Due to the excellent performance of Glock guns on safety and performance checks, they soon gained in popularity as personal weapons as well. After the Austrian Army had accepted Glock’s design, militaries and law enforcement services around the world followed suit. These primary goals of the Austrian Army, along with the polymer casing Glock designed, are now some of the most recognizable features of Glock pistols. So, an engineer by the name of Gaston Glock got to work creating polymer-encased firearms. They needed the new weapons to have removable and exchangeable parts and be easy and safe to disassemble and clean. In the 1980s, the Austrian armed forces needed to replace the firearms from WWII with new ones. But before we do, I’d like to talk about the company’s history to explain how our two choices came to be. So, let’s see what these pistols can offer. I’ll look at both of their performances as far as precision and reliability is concerned, as well as the look and the feel of both guns. That’s why I’ve decided to compare and review the two guns. Since they’re so similar, though, you might still find it difficult to come to a decision. Glock has two excellent choices with their G26 and G43 firearms. Well, if you’re looking for a small gun you could easily conceal and carry, you’re in luck. However, many new firearm enthusiasts are finding it hard having to choose between dozens of perfectly good weapons. No matter where you are in the world, Glock is an instantly recognizable brand of short-recoil semi-automatic pistols.
