Of course living in Japan it's only an airsoft version but it's basically 100% identical to the real steel 26.

I also have a Glock 18C from the same company which is basically just like handling a Glock 17 with ported barrel (17C).

This thing is great and tiny! Not quite as small as the Colt .380 Mustang or Kahr but still small!

they look and feel just like the real thing, they're gas blowbacks. the kick is not quite like a real glock which is extremely "snappy". but they do jerk around and require proper re-aiming after firing.

the fps on the stock ones is around 270-280fps but it can be bumped up as high as 340fps by using propane gas, and even higher with a few other modifications, but those are illegal in Japan and i dare not admit to anything like that..!

the glock 18c is a lot of fun since it has a full auto selector switch position

I was going to get a Glock when I used to do airsoft.

Are they Tokyo Marui's?

Probably KWC or something, they do great metal airsoft pistols.

I have the Marui Beretta 92fs, very nice it is too, i remember years ago reading that the Marui slides are lighter than the KWC so they don't feel as nice but they use slight less gas to push the slide back.

Nice purchase!!

These are both Tokyo Marui's with the stock plastic slides. I like the plastic slides because they're cheap to replace when they crack - I have been running the 18C on propane gas and without upgrades it will damage even an aluminum slide. But I can get replacement plastic slides for about $3 each so it's not a big deal to me.

I really like the Tokyo Marui quality. They are just like holding a real Gen 3 Glock. A few months ago I posted a thread asking about training using airsoft, I find these guns have been an awesome help for training. They are accurate enough out to 10 meters so I can get a good idea if I have any problems with my grip i.e. flinch or pulling. Limp wristing is a bit tougher to detect but I try to be careful about that.

These days I have been using them to practice various quick draw methods as well as just fun plinking around in my house.

The Glock 26 is remarkably quiet, though my quietest gun is the Maruzen Colt .380 Mustang, great for night time practice. It also happens to be absolutely TINY, I can conceal it even wearing a fairly close fitting shirt or pants.
