Finally loaded up the 124 gr Nukes. I tested the loads in the following pistols:

Gen 4 Glock 26
Gen 4 Glock 19
Gen 5 Glock 45
Sig P226 Navy

due to the various chambers, loads were loaded to an OAL of 1.060″. Brass used was mixed. Primer used was Federal SP mag. Powder was Silhouette.

Powder charges:
5.5 gr
5,7 gr
6.0 gr

Velocity ranges for each pistol:

G26 1109-1176 fps
G19 1148-1222 fps
G45 1114-1187 fps
P226 1129-1189 fps

Best loads are the 5.7 and 6.0, but still need to do further accuracy testing

I also have a Gen 4 G26 and G19. I’m shooting the 9MM 124 GR. RMR FMJ TRUNCATED CONE FLAT POINT MATCHWINNER BULLETS. With these pistols the chamber will accept a MAX loaded round of 1.150″. This is where the bullet is kissing the rifling. A round will cycle but not very smoothly. To get smooth cycling the longest OAL for these two barrel is rounds measuring 1.120″.

At 1.160″ I really think the rounds are too long. You can take your G17 mags that cycle the 1.160″ and see if they will cycle in the G26. I would work up a shorter loading. 1.100-1.120″.

Question on the 1.160″ rounds? Do they plunk in the g26 barrel and can you spin them in the chamber?

As a side note, I picked up a G45 with the new Markman Barrel. My 1.120″ loads will not plunk in this barrel. I have to push them down to 1.100″. Haven’t had a chance to shoot is but will probably end up loading all my ammo to 1.100″. KISS theory.

Keep us posted on what you find out.

5.1-5.4 grs of Unique with the 124 TC, Loaded COL 1.120″ 5.3 seems to be the sweet spot running @ 1130fps out of Glock 26, 19 and sig 226.

With this bullet, I’m using 1.120″ for my Glock 26, Glock 19 (both Gen 4) and Sig 226 Navy. Max COL is 1.150″. However at this length the guns do not cycle as well.
