ok, can, is smaller but exactly the same gun, all glocks are, they have the highest safety design of any pistol and are alll deigned on the same principal with same firing mechanism and double trigger (safety in trigger), the Glock 26 is same calibre as Glock 19, 9 x 19 mm. But is good size for you, I just tell you all that so that you and he know what I talk about, hehehe
