Analysis

With only 3,135 units produced, the Model 1026 presented a decocker configuration alternative in the 10mm lineup, catering to preferences for frame-mounted controls. It handled cartridge recoil through its robust build, though series-wide factors like ammunition supply limited broader use. The model retains secondary market presence among 10mm collectors.
