I say this with no disrespect intended, but if you're having a hard time hiding a 26, you may want to reevaluate your carry system. Good belt, good holster, dress around the gun.
No problem dressing around an inside the waist-band holster in the winter (jacket, sweater, sports coat, etc.) but this is Texas..in the summer time...
so I prefer just to put it in my front pocket until the cooler weather hits. WHEN is that cooler weather coming by the way? :???:

Again, not saying you're doing anything wrong but I'm wearing a full size 1911 IWB with shorts and a polo right now. It can be done.

I'm thinking this is gonna be one of the 90+ degrees into late October years. We're getting paid back for the relatively mild summer by having it drag out into fall.

Absolutely. Good choice with a dedicated IWB, by the way. The all in one style holsters tend to be mediocre at everything, rather than good at one particular style of carry.

You got that one backwards.

30.06 = No Concealed
30.07 = No Open
