It really is. It goes dormant from time to time, but it always comes back. What a horrible disease to have, right? The only way to cure it, is to buy more 26s.
I've spent thousands $ on many of the latest and greatest carry guns and I'm right back to carrying my Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS. I'm done spending money on the latest even though I can afford it. I'm just tired of the testing out new guns just to realize that I'm better off shooting my Glock 19 as often as I can. I have all the holsters, red dots and lights and dozens of magazines to fit my Glock 19. Every time ya buy a different gun that investment of both time, trust and money starts all over. I'm just done with that. I realize YT channels need content but I'm done chasing the perfect gun until the phaser comes out. lol
I started buying Glocks years ago. I’m sticking with Glock. All interchangeable parts as well as the 17,19, & 26 are 33 round SHTF magazine compatible.
I love my 26 and my 27 probably more than any of my others. My 43X has gotten kind of shoved back in the rack just because of the length and capacity. So I have just found myself with the three above, but I'm testing a PDP as well that I really really like for a larger pistol. I don't know... Love having choices! God bless you brother!
I have the option to get a gen 5 mos for 660 or gen 3 for 585. What's the better choice!? I have been wanting gen 5 until you just mentioned the wear on the barrel? Also am i over paying?
Correct, Springfield Hellcat is made by HS Product Croatia. And yes, Croatia is a paradise in Europe if you are a conservative person. Weather is also really nice. On to firearms, I still like sub compacts like the G26 and especially the P10S. I find these slim Micro 9's really nice to CC but also find them a bit snappy in recoil generally. The Comp is on the Hellcat pro is an interesting concept, probably helps allot to counter muzzle flip.
Love to see you get your hands on a Glock 30S. The 30S specifically uses the Glock 36 slim slide and looks like a Glock 26 but is slightly larger to accommodate 45ACP. I would like to see that 30S compared to the other Sub compacts such as the 26 and the 27.
I still love the 43x with micro dagger mags and the P365 .380 thats been my go to this summer, but the Hellcats are looking like great deals. Wish CZ would make a micro P07 it would be game over
I have a 27 Gen 3 it shoots so smooth I swear the slide racks as smooth as my beretta I don’t know why out of all glocks I have a 19 Gen 3 and a 44 too and this is the smoothest and the best to shoot imo
It’s the finish. It’s still impregnated so even when it wears it’s still there. The finish is one of the best against corrosion, it just doesn’t look as good as others. Especially compared to S&W’s melanite and Glocks old tennifer. I am pretty skeptical about that 26 having 9k rounds. I have a 26 with 2500 rounds and the barrel has two to three times the wear. Same with a 19.5 with about 3k and the barrel is completely discolored. Have two more gen 5s with maybe half the rounds and half the wear. Seems fishy.
Yeah not sure about that comment up above man. It happens. Look how many handguns have had issues on this channel. I have 14 Glock 26’s with a combined round count of 30k+. No issues except with a hyve baseplate.
Haven't shot the HC pro comp, but have shot the HC pro. In comparison to the G26, I think the HC is much more snappy; even though you get more rounds, i'd take the G26 over the HC everytime.
i have the glock 27 at home : Taurus g3c in .40 s&w lol. The lady at Rural king said they never have G3c in .40 and there’s like no reviews of it. Would be cool if you got one. I paid 273 $ out the door
That wear on the barrel (the Glock smile) is prevalent on all Gen 5s. It won’t get any worse however and will not impact functionality. Respect to you sir, really enjoying the content!
This might sound dumb but I chose a Taurus g2c over a Springfield hellcat and I've shot both but I prefer the Taurus because of the overall size and 2 more rounds and didn't get a sig p365 because there wasn't one available at the moment
@@spnfirearms sweet must've been a a cali compliant gun which is a sad thing to see in Georgia *Edit/addition-to add on to this it wasnt cali compliant I talked to my buddy it wasnt the larger version the "pro" my bad
I just can’t get past how Springfield Armory did the citizens of Illinois same with Rock Island. I don’t want to get into all the details because it’s a lot to unpack. But just be aware that they got caught up in some slimy anti 2a BS.
A great handgun. I just prefer a little bit better quality. For an extra $100 the shield plus is way better. But get the gx4 if it fits your needs! Respect
@@Iceberg82 Definitely get the G3 series and not the 2. The sights are sooook much better. They actually stay in alignment. However, the Gx4 I had was amazing. It was definitely lighter and more compact.
I'd like your take on the Hellcat Pro vs G26 reliability vs G43X's ergos if you were one of the poor souls that reside in a 10-round mag limiting State.
I know .. I thought you would just show the new 26.. But I’m a G19 .. have a gen 3 California carry, gen5 Texas carry and anX Texas drawer truck gun … All have a purpose and a position ..
I had a Hellcat and still have a Hellcat Pro and they were by far the worst purchases I've made in the past 10 years. The recoil is far beyond that of my G26s and more unpleasant than my Glock 27. I was lucky to sell the Hellcat for half of what the gun, Apex trigger, and trigger installation cost me and I'd be ecstatic to get the same for the Pro. I'm not holding my breath though.
@@spnfirearms at least I know it's reliable enough to carry now. EXCELLENT gun. No fails, barely any wear showing now. Was barely even dirty after that much.
Oh no, don’t get it twisted, still carrying my 26 as my number one go to. And I love my reflex, but the hellcat pro comp is better but both amazing firearms. Glock 26 is still better tho.
Yessir! I have a video my wife is editing. It’s my shooting over 2k rounds out of my hellcat (og) over the last 1.5 months. Not a single issue. It’s going to be an awesome video! Respect
You went from a 30-year tested reliable gun to a new release with a bunch of aftermarket parts I'm not comprehending this I haven't had to get rid of my hammer for years it's still pounds and nails
If you would listen, my friend, I said my 26 is going nowhere. My 26 is my handgun. I mentioned where my carry Glock is right now, I even showed the 26 I currently am carrying. I said this handgun could be a replacement. I have 14 26’s, they are going nowhere.

Niceee.
What do you think of the S&W M&P Compact 2.0 4 inch or the 3.6 inch?
HCPC is 💯🔥🔥 grabbing it on the next gear up… hopefully it’s soon!!
If you already have the Pro is it really worth upgrading to the Comp? Understand if buying new to start go with the Comp.

HS Produkt makes great pistols
I find myself carrying my GX4 XL more and more
I will stick with my g26. M&P 9 sub compact and shield also works well. To each their own.
Hope you’re feeling better buddy 👍🇺🇸

Guns yes fam love what's up fam big love
The gen 5 barrels just wear like that man. All of mine have done it.
I have been trying to decide between the 4 inch barrel PX4 Storm G-SD and the 4.4 inch Hellcat Pro OSP for a bit.
This helps!
Hellcat Pro is 3.7 inch barrel
I believe all gen 5s show more wear on the barrel like that at least my 19 gen 5 dose n I’ve seen a bunch with it
I think the stock Hellcat triggers are great for carry gun triggers.
Ok.. You need some vacation now!!
I thought i did too. The Sig P 365. And it kinda has but i still carty the Glock every so often.
All gen 5s get that barrel wear. Not sure if it’s the ndlc finish or the marksmen barrel having a bit tighter fit.
It’s the finish. It’s still impregnated so even when it wears it’s still there. The finish is one of the best against corrosion, it just doesn’t look as good as others. Especially compared to S&W’s melanite and Glocks old tennifer.

I love the pro except for the shape of the grip I had to put a hogue grip on it now it’s just right
All the Gen 5s wear like that on the barrel. I’m not sure why, but I have more than a few and they all wore almost instantly.
Just sent my glock26 back to have it replaced with a new one, still malfunctioned after they repaired it 😢 respect....
Dang! Lemons happen! Good luck brother and respect
