Went to the store where I've purchased the G26 & addressed the issue. They actually were not surprised & gave me quite a lecture, sort of 101 Glock course... I felt pretty dumb, btw))))

My problem was, I didn't make a home work before I've purchased Glock & this particular model.
1. They told me not to use cheap reloaded ammo for several reasons (I've used "PRIME ammunition"). The reasons are all laid in a design of Glock's barrels, they are designed for good, normal pressure, NATO standard ammo. The chamber of Glock's barrel is slightly bigger then any other brand (therefore you don't want to use under pressured ammo, because it may cause malfunction). On the other hand, the ramp cut goes in to a chamber deeper then in any other brand barrels, so you don't want to use some crazy P+++ stuff, or you'll have big boom right in your hands! (that's good to know)))). And some other confusing info about so called polygonal rifling... Combination of G26's short barrel & under pressured ammo caused the problem I had (theoretically).
2. Indeed, grip of G26 is less then desirable, to say at least & I have to grab it really tight, no relaxed wrist, as I so got use to when shooting my Sig P226 (Did I tell you how much I enjoy my Sig P226?)))... The grip of G26 is just ridiculously small & super uncomfortable! It is really hard to have a good solid grip on it. But this is a WHOLE POINT I've bought the gun - small gun for CCW (some day)... To solve this issue partially is possible by adding extended Pierce magazine plate (doesn't add to 10 rd. California legal limit capacity, but increases grabbing surface), All right, Roger that!
3. All slides of these subcompact versions (26, 27, 33) use exactly the same guide rod spring! WHY? Nobody knows... but it sounds wrong right there... SO, for 26's version (9mm) maybe will be wise to switch factory guide rod spring (Which is 16 Lb) for something lighter...
Well, I'm about to put to a test all those theoretical but making sense statements, hopefully this Saturday...
