Re: Carrying Issues with Women
Like the others, I would also like to thank you for your service and welcome you to our community here. There is a "women's issues" subforum on these pages, and you might try searching there for some of what you're looking for. My wife owns, but rarely carries a G19, for most of the same reasons you've outlined here, and so she EDC's a Glock 43. She is not willing to open carry, which would solve most of those issues you raise. So I bought her a couple of Belly Band Holsters from TheWellArmedWoman.com, and she uses those regularly. She finds them to be comfortable, and they allow her to conceal that Glock 43 and a backup magazine underneath fitted blouses, so she maintains a feminine style of dress. She has two, so that she can wash one while wearing the other. They seem to work very well for her.
The Glock 19 is a wonderful pistol, and I completely understand why you would want one. I carry one daily myself. I also own a Glock 43 of my own too for days when deeper concealment is desireable for whatever reason, but one thing I would do a little differently, and you might want to consider, is to also buy a Glock 26 in addition to the G19. The 26 is virtually the same size as the G43, only being a .16" wider by virtue of using a double column magazine instead of a single stack mag. And being a double stack 9mm, it will accept all other double stack 9mm Glock magazines - i.e. G19, G17, and the 33 round stick magazines. That way, you could carry the G26 as your EDC, and a G19 backup magazine, which would give you an additional 5 rounds more than a G26 mag and 9 rounds more than a G43 mag, and all without significantly more gun from a concealment perspective than a G43.
I do really like my G43, and I would probably buy one anyway someday, because there IS a legitimate place for slim single stack 9mm pistols in the concealed carry market. I don't regret owning it one bit. But I do regret not having purchased a G26 first; so my next pistol purchase will be a G26, to compliment the G19 and G17 I already own. We can learn from the "mistakes" of others, and while I don't consider ownin a G43 to be a mistake, I do consider that I made a mistake in buying a G43 before buying a G26.
I suspect that, with a Belly Band like the one linked above, you could pack a G26 all day long quite comfortably, and still be able to wear more fitted garments with a more feminine appeal.
