thanks for everyone who gave up some pennies on concealing the 26. even my cheap holster that came with it has siginificantly reduced printing as it formed to my hip and with the addition of some bigger shirts from the clearance rack this 26 has become my primary edc except when I need ZERO printing and then i'll go to the sig P938. That one's tough to beat with factory night sights but the round count was what made me pick up a 26. I am now looking into my next glock in the 30s so i can have a .45!

thanks for the photos and pennies! I didn't realize how close the xds and g26 really are besides the thickness at the top of the slide. like I said I do have a kydex piece coming for a better holster than what came with it and hopefully that will help! I alos made an impromptu run to academy last night to try and find a couple of larger shirts and went nuts on the 10 dollar clearance racks and got a bunch of under armour t-shirts that were just shy of 30 bucks originally! in combo i'm hoping I can pull it off alot better so I'm holding off on selling until I can give it a fair shot!

Now I carry a XDS or the P238 depending on how I feel that day. I don't mind shooting the Glock it's a decent gun but the XDS has become my friend. It's easier to conceal and while I miss my EMP .40 I don't miss the almost 3 lbs it weighed loaded. It sure was a sweet shooter though.

Single Stack is the best but as others have said that doesn't look to bad. I would imagine any bending at the waist or raising your arms may make it more noticeable.

I'm thinking about trading for an xds .45 when people get theirs back from the recall and want to get rid of them but I just love the 10+1 capacity of the G26. I have ordered a kydex for it that'll go on my maxtuck and i'll see if that helps. If not it'll have to go b/c my house guns are all .45!!

thanks for the vote of confidence! maybe I'm just being too paranoid b/c it's the first double stack gun i've tried to conceal. My sig p938 disappears in anything so I guess i was trying to have the same level of concealment on the G26. I think with a better holster like my maxtuck will help spread it out a little more and my gunbelt will hold it up better. I just can't afford new clothes and i can't deal with two shirts here in the houston heat!

i took some pics finally but I forgot to take a pic with the holster. It is a IWB that the clips are closer together than on my maxtuck so I am probably going to order a kydex for it and give that a shot since i haven't gotten any nibbles on selling it...

the room is messy....

Thank you all for the suggestions and pennies! I've decided that the glock is a great gun but as far carrying ill stick to the sig and I'm going to start saving for another ultra carry. Ill post it in the classifieds shortly.

yeah this was my first glock and It doesn't seem like you can change your handle on here once it's made? I don't have the ultra or solo anymore either but i will have another ultra carry in another version eventually. my sig p938 is EDC because it'll hide the best in anything. I'm trying to check out the P224 in 9mm but nobody has them

I'm still trying to figure out the positioning on the glock and it's not looking good because buying new clothes right now isn't an option as well as other holsters.... this one may be on the board for sale before too long. stay tuned....

I will try and post pics but i'm going out of town this weekend and have alot to get done tonight. I guess my term printing wouldn't be illegal in where you can definitely tell it's a gun, but it's a pretty obvious bulge.....

I was hoping some more experienced glock owners could help me out.... Specifically G26 and G27 owners. I recently bought my first Glock (G26), it was a used G3 with night sights, and 5 total mags including one happy stick (33rd'r)!

Sorry back on track, the two factory 10 rounders both came with +2 extenders on and it printed pretty badly with this. I took one off and put the fact flush bringing back down to 10. It came with a offbrand "crossbreed style" IWB holster which holds the gun fine. however, no matter how much i play with different holes/cant and have moved it from 3 to 6 and it prints like a sore thumb. I also do have a good gunbelt from bullhide belts that holds all my other guns great. i am 5'7 and 180 lbs and have no problems concealing my sig p938 or XDS or Kimber Ultra Carry but for some reason can't hide the Glock!

has there been anyone else with these issues and if so, what did you do to fix it? I do have a Whitehat Maxtuck that I could order a G26 kydex for, but i'm worried it'd do the same thing as the one that came with it I can't carry OWB because i can't wear long shirts and usually i'm tucked in anyway. if there's no remedy then I guess i'll have it for sale soon which is a shame because i really like it so far other than the printing
