Ummm... I've fired a standard Glock 26, and I own a Glock 21. All the
Glock pistols are light compared to any other pistol of similar size
and calibre. They are not heavy, by any description. Infact Heavy is
one word I have never heard to describe Glocks in general!

The tiny size of the grip involved with the Glock 26 gives me no
comfort either. Especially when you're test firing it into a hole in
the back of the Gunshop, and you've got a 2 inch hole to get that
round into. And the problem with the gun? It had been going full auto
at the range! superhappy fun time!

They have no recoil Compensation whatsoever, either barrel porting, or
internal compensation, although it is possible to get such devices, if
you've got the dollars.
