Ranger T is hard to find for sure. But I leave the 16 rounds in the G19 for a year? Swap it around.
Visit to the range, fire a double tap, sitting, walking, turning from left, right.
Then close, single head shots from as fast as I can draw! 2" black circle at around 7 yd's, max range in our town house. Swap to the G17 spare magazine, my 124g NATO hard ball. Verify same point of impact at 7yd's.
Clean at home. Careful examination of replacement Ranger T, drop every round into dissembled barrel, both Ranger T and NATO rounds.
Holster a nice, very black slide, gleaming Glock19gen4. A happy man.
The Glock 19 I carry, and use, if I ever shoot IDPA, feels like an extension of my arm. It is said to be the most popular carried pistol in the World? I do not doubt it.

This might be a little off topic but I wanted to address whatever problems you might be having with the function of your G26. Honestly, it should function with any commercial loads that you try.
"Limp wristing" might well be your problem with some loads; however, my wife bought a new gen3 G26 a few years ago and it had problems from the beginning with any ammo. I thought she might be a limp writing but it malfunctioned with me as well. Several times per magazine, it would stop just short of returning to battery. I did a little internet searching and read of problems with the recoil spring in some examples of this very gun. I called Glock and reported to them that I thought hers had this problem. They sent me a new recoil spring at no charge. It has never had a malfunction since.

My favorite carry load for my 9mm was the Hornady 9mm 135 FTX. I like heavy loads but I've read that some 9mm pistols have trouble with 147 because of their OAL.
This is why I chose the 135 and they do a good job. My other fav was the Win PDX1 124 +P. They're like the Talons in a way.

While the way of thinking... "Your pistol should work with X brand HP ammo no problem, if not something is wrong with the pistol."
Is correct...
Do you want to find out your pistol has an issue during an encounter with an assailant... Or would you want to know before you load up and walk out the door?
I think I will test my ammo for at least a couple boxes thanks.
I had a little pocket 380 that after almost a full box of a certain ammo, decided that it wanted to start giving light primer strikes. Turns out the primer was a touch on the hard side, and that the company had recently switched to a different supplier for primers due to this.
Unfortunately, small pocket 380s can have a bit of a light hammer impact due to wanting reasonable trigger pull weights and the small overall size of the hammer.
You never know what might happen.

I agree 100%. Would never suggest not running a few mags full to be sure it feeds and how it prints. Just didn't want him to worry to much about ordering a decent amount of HST for fear it may not run in his Glock. Also would be easy enough to resell should there be an issue.
