Building a G26X, and G26XXL ! (RMR upper)

[Rebel_Rider1969]

I've got a few of those inserts. Grat is right, they will cause a blister if you ain't careful

This covers the spring because the 26 frame is shorter than the 19.

 

[Rebel_Rider1969]

Of the few brands I have the x-grip is the best

Yep, that's the one I've been looking at. They make 19 an 17 ones!

Like This - 26X needs the spring cover

I have had (2) over the years. Both were 100% reliable. My most recent Gen 4 G-26, is better than the other gens, IMO. When I got my Sig P-365 it replaced my Gen 4 Glock 26! I haven't regretted it! Good luck!

I replaced mine with a 365 and haven't looked back either

Pros, cons?
For Concealed carry and pest control. Optics? Grip sleeve, use g19 mags?

Had one for years, I use the XGRIP and a 15 rd mag, my back up is a 33 and a G19 mag. I use the lasermax guiderod laser, no optic, Glock night sights Gen3

I think with the 19 mag with x grip it should be fine. I just like to tinker with stuff. Have a holosun 507c just sitting in a box waiting.

Found an rmr cut 26 slide. Told it will fit my holosun.
Is there a certain upper parts kit required or can I use a g19 kit? See a wide variety of kits some $39 some $139 what's the difference?? Going to need a barrel as well, stainless?Tkx.

I've used those $39 kits. Some are decent and are up to specs but some are just pure junk. AIM surplus stuff are up to specs and probably the best prices around. No need to pay extras for the Gucci kits IMHO. Need help putting it together, let me know. Not too difficult at all especially for you.. (i know you like to tinker..haha). Lots of good videos out there as well.

Ok. So 26,19,17 upper kits all the same?

 

[Kduly]

Yes, all these basic upper gen 3 parts will fit 26, 19, 17

You'll still need the slide, barrel and recoil spring. This is the kit from AIMsurplus:

Make sure it's a Marksman barrel for those 200+ yard shots.

Your preference.. but maybe this??

It should look like this when you are done.
