| help me pick which model for ccw. 26 , 30 or 36? |
|
my friend carries a 26 in the summer... it is really small and very easy to conceal... then again i've carried a 17 IWB in a pair of mesh shorts and a tshirt with no problems... the compact frame (G19/G23/G32) gives you a good sight radius/barrel length, is easy to conceal, has a decent capacity, and is easy to shoot over a long period of time. the subcompact frame (G26/G27) always felt to small in my hand and it wasn't as accurate as the compact frame, your capacity suffers (9mm: 10rds vs 15rds), and concealibility is just as easy as the larger size (6.29"L 4.17"H vs 6.85"L 5.00"H)... |

I carry G30 everyday IWB (right front). Keep it loaded w/Corbin +P JHP's I weigh 185ish, wear shorts and T shirts most of the time. Also carry a G21 w/+1 ext in Left Front pocket to help "balance" everything out... 25 rounds of .45 JHP +P's lends a good feeling of "comfortable" IMHO. |
+1 its more along the size of the G30; has 50% more ammo than the G26, in most cases, just as concealable |
Thinner? Maybe. The slide on the Glock is blockier than the P228 Lighter? Definitely I like my Glock 19 much better than the P228 that I had for a while. Everything on the 19 just fits me better than the 228 did. |
All of us who carry have a box of holsters that we've bought, tried desperately to wear comfortably, and rejected for various reasons. After trying the CTAC, I started to sell the stuff in my holster box. Although I'm not a fan of Kydex, the stuff from CompTac is so thin, that you might as well be carrying "Mexican". In other words, it's as comfortable as you can get shoving 3/4 of a pound of metal in your pants. It conceals incredibly well, covers the trigger guard, is tuckable, and stays put on your belt. It isn't purty like a Sparks or DelFatti or even a Galco, but the holster is nothing more than a tool holder. The whole concept of no-frills utility kind of goes together perfectly with the idea of carrying a Glock. In short, the CTAC just works for the majority of folks who try them (just like G19's  ).
