David, appears the Glock 26 gen 3 is discontinued. Glock decided to discontinue the 3rd gen when the 5th gen came out. They are still producing gen 5 Glock 26s. They're great pistols, so I'd probably grab one up while you still can. Hope this helps.

David, yes the G26 Gen3 has been discontinued. Should you purchase it? That is a question only you can answer, but I say go for it.

David, yes as of Sept. 2021. Sales & model upgrades usually drive the life span of firearms. I personally would get the latest Gen G26. Cheers and stay safe!
