I have a G23 and a G27 - I shoot the small guy about as well as I do the G23. I carry the G27 alot and really like it. Go for the 26!

Tony - from what I am imagining, you haven't the right carry rig. I used to carry SP-101 myself but have moved on to the SIG 226 - that is full size and heavy but it is just fine.

Major factor IMO is having adequate cant - that brings grip up and forward and certainly for me does not let it stick out to rear enough to matter. Only time the grip impinges much on anything is sitting in my office chair - nice wear marks on back!!

I have also carried my SW99 in a simple Don Hume, with only slight cant and that gun, which must be similar size to a 26 - just disappears!! Maybe part of this is simply the rather major change of one gun compared to another.

I agree concerning the holster "cant". I get to see many people in our shooting classes who have similar problems and many times end up with either wrong holster positioning on the body or cant.

Having same problems deciding on holster. I am a small guy and dont like IWB( dont want to buy new jeans). Was thinking about SOB anyone using that type of rig?

I have thought about it (& have Comp-Tac SetCant holsters for G21 and G27 which have configuration ranging from forward through vertical and FBI cant to crossdraw/SOB) but haven't tried it. Besides the "you'll break your spine" school of thought, it seems like it wouldn't work unless I never sat in a seat with a back rest.

There is an article in the current Concealed Carry Magazine wherein Tony Walker espouses SOB---it's his preferred method.

I was looking online at Galco holsters, their leather SOB looks decent.
