Re: New Member
My thoughts, for what it's worth are concerning safety, when you say "unless it's comfortable in a pocket I won't carry it" do you literally mean having a loaded pistol in your pants pocket, inside a holster ?
From a safety and "drawing" aspect I would suggest rather look into options like a PHLster Enigma, slingbag, belly band etc...

For your need I would say a glock 43 would work. Nice and compact but personally I would not carry anything that takes less than 10 rounds in a magazine and smaller than a 9mm.
Happy shopping

If it comes down to the Glock 43 vs the Glock 42, I'd suggest going with the 43. With both of them, there is the compromise of lesser carrying capacity. They're both more or less the same dimensions but the .380 is not enough stopping power. There are mag extensions available too.

Your celebrity precedes you.
This forum will want you not just to arm yourself, but to train and carry full time.
You have to be realistic about the kind of changes that you're willing to make to ensure that you're armed and ready at all times.
You can carry with drawstring shorts, but you will need to use a system like the PHLSTER enigma which allows you to carry a subcompact or even a compact firearm in a stable platform. It may be something that you're willing to do, or it may be forgotten in a drawer in a couple weeks.
If appendix carry and straps over your undies aren't something that you're prepared to endure, a bellyband may be what you're looking for.
If neither appeals, understand that buying a micro compact like an LCP for an empty chamber pocket carry won't be a popular or effective choice, but may be the only way to ensure that you're pseudo-armed and almost ready at all times.
The G26 is a kickass choice of firearm that was the gold standard of EDC until about 5 years ago, everything that came thereafter sacrificed capacity with the exception of the P365 and it's derivatives.
It may be an option to try out carry options with your G26 before buying a smaller firearm. If you decide that you're going to pocket carry, the 43/P365 are too big. If you're going to carry in your manbag, you might at well buy a bigger gun.

Hiya Stranger, After a couple of weeks of research, shooting, chatting to other gun owners and more research I'm still no closer to a final choice. I know I really should get the LCP but the Sig P365X is the one my heart wants and now that I have decent gun belts I will give it a test drive with my G26 and see how we go. I think the best all-around option for me is a sling bag - guns, spare vape, juice, cell phone, wallet, knife and spare mag! And then I can get the Sig.

Re: New Member
When it comes to carrying in track suit pants (or similar draw string variety pants) and a t-shirt I have found that my sticky holster simply out does even my kydex options of carry. I have concealed even my 45 Commander series easily, and apart from the fact that I might not be able to play rugby with this style of carry I have found that I forget that I even have a FA on my it's so comfortable. It could work for your G26, possibly try it?
