A sleeve designed for a Glock 26 pistol extends the grip length to accommodate a fifteen-round magazine, improving control and comfort for users with larger hands. This accessory provides the handling characteristics of a larger firearm while maintaining the subcompact Glock 26’s concealability. It bridges the gap between a compact and subcompact pistol, offering a balance between concealability and shootability.
Enhanced ergonomics, particularly for those with larger hands, constitute a primary advantage of this type of grip extension. The increased grip surface allows for a more secure and stable hold, improving recoil management and accuracy. Historically, subcompact pistols were often perceived as uncomfortable to shoot, particularly during extended range sessions. Grip extensions address this issue, making smaller firearms more practical for a wider range of users. The ability to carry a higher-capacity magazine while maintaining a concealable profile is also a significant benefit.
