Hello,
I'm interested in purchasing a Glock 26 here but I have a few questions.
I'd like one in black, but all I'm seeing is gray, does Glock just call black gray or do they make a black version as well?
Also, I'd like one that's made in Austria, is there any way to assure during the ordering process that I'll get one? Thanks!

I have a couple of all black Glock pistols (Gen 4s's) but the finish on the slide is slightly "off black". almost a very dark gray color. They were both made in Austria. On the other hand, my Glock 42 was made in the US (Georgia) with a FDE frame and an actual black slide. I know that Glock does make some frames that are intentionally gray, but I believe the the "off black" slide is the result of variations in the chemicals used to coat them. Overall, the fit and finish on the US made models is just a good or maybe a little better than the Austrian counterparts as the US manufacturing tooling and dies are newer and less used.
