Women like the G26 over the G19 because the smaller height and length allows it to be hidden in a smaller purse. So, unless you wear an European man-purse, then I suggest that you go test the G19, too.
Good luck and have fun with guns,

Re: Opinions on Pocket Guns (aka fake guns...)
If you're considering a G26, then just note that a G19 is just a concealable. If you check out the weight of the G26, it weighs almost as much as the G19. There's not much difference. Also, the G26 is just as wide as the G19. When concealing stuff under clothing, only weight and width are the limiting factors. So, if don't mind carrying a G26, then a G19 is just as concealable for you. However, a G19 has a better sight radius and holds roughly 50% more ammo.

Re: Opinions on Pocket Guns (aka fake guns...)
Since you're a lefty, go with the Taurus TCP. It has an ambidextrous (kinda) mag release. The mag release is reversible, but there are no instructions on how to do that in the manual. Maybe a competent gunsmith will know.... The other two guns have no ambi mag release.
Be sure to test fire a rental gun before you buy one. If you cannot find a rental Taurus TCP, at least rent a Kel-Tec P3AT or Ruger LCP. I find them all to be very unpleasant guns to fire. Because of the gun's light weight, the recoil is extreme. The recoil is even greater than a 357 magnum! My wrist hurt for a week after shooting just 20 rounds out of these guns. I cannot stand to shoot more than 20 rounds out of these guns. However, they are my favorite carry guns. Why? They are small enough to carry in just about any legal situation.
Here are some examples;
1. I'm at a party with over 30 liberal earth muffins. They just love to hug and talk about such liberal mindless dribble like global warming, etc. The last thing I wanna do is have one of them hug me and feel a gun. These mini 380s are thin enough to feel like a wallet.
2. I'm at my local Baptist church. Lots of hugs there, too.
3. I'm on a date. Things can get, ahem, real personal. How're you gonna explain that big gun when you take off your shirt? It'll totally kill the mood if she just met you. At best, you'll have a lot of mood killing explaining to do. At worst, she'll feel danger and leave. A pocket pistol can be kept in your pocket and out of sight when you get personal.
Finally, before you buy any 380 caliber gun, be sure to buy a big case of ammo. There is a national 380 ammo shortage. It has been a year since I've last spotted any 380 ammo at Wal Mart or Academy. Gun shows are charging people double for the stuff, when it's available.
