The Sarsılmaz K2-45, a .45 ACP semi-automatic handgun made in Turkey and based on the CZ 97, the CZ 75's big brother. The ArmaLite AR-26 may have looked very similar to this.

The ArmaLite AR-26 was a semi-automatic handgun chambered in .45 ACP that was announced but never released by ArmaLite. One might consider this pistol to have been the ArmaLite AR-24's big brother. The AR-26 was presumably based on the CZ 97 series, which itself is the scaled up .45 ACP version of the CZ 75. It would have been sold alongside the AR-24 9mm pistol, which was based on the CZ 75, but never saw release for unknown reasons.

Since the AR-24 was manufactured by Sarsılmaz, it's also probably safe to assume that the AR-26 was going to be an imported and re-branded model from the same manufacturer.
