IMO the G26 is too large for pocket carry. I carry my G27 (same exact size as 26) in an MTAC IWB holster. It's been warm in NY the last few weeks and I've been wearing jeans and a t-shirt. The MTAC conceals the G27 very well, and it is extremely comfortable for extended periods of time.
Good luck.

It is better to have your gun and not need it, than to need it and not have it!
Still can't believe what happened on 11/06/12! Disgusted and disappointed!

Check out the De Santis 'Scorpion' IWB holster. I just can't say enough good things about mine. I use it every day.

I agree... except I carry OWB mainly. IMO OWB is more comfortable, and very easy to conceal under a t-shirt.Originally Posted by NY27

With all due respect to the VersaMax II, it's not adjustable. IMO the top two IWB's are the MTAC and the K&D IWB Defender series.
Training means learning the rules. Experience means learning the exceptions.
I carry my G-27 in a VM-II IWB under a tee shirt. I've never needed to do any adjusting. (of the holster I mean)

A Crossbreed IWB works well. I do wear a shirt which is a bit loose to prevent any printing and I like to wear the tails out but that's just my style.
My Smartcarry does the best job with shorts. My Glock 26 simply disappears when I'm wearing them. It's also a very comfortable way to carry.

The Mitch Rosen Upper Limit express model is a good OWB option... The express line can be had in about three weeks.
For IWB, Eric Larson at HBE is only running about two weeks when I spoke to him Saturday, so that would be a good option too...

I carry a G26 in a custom made pocket holster. It is specifically for cargo shorts with big deep pockets. I have also used it with business suits, as well as casual slacks.
Here's a picture of my rough side out holster:

It depends on where you want to carry it. For typical hip carry, I'd go with an MTAC. For appendix carry, High Noon Mr Softy. It's $30, with a money back guarantee & you can have it in a week.

This man speaks the truth. Adjustability = comfort in my opinion.
"It's super comfortable!" Yeah, but I can only carry it at 4-5:00 due to design. I like versatility and the "fits just right" adjustability of the MTAC.

My favorite holster for my G26 is K&D Laredo Defender. I like it so well I ordered one for my SA LWSS Compact. I don't really need it, but like the ease of putting it on and taking it off.
As I have posted elsewhere I prefer OWB, and do not find it difficult to conceal under an untucked sport shirt.

+1 on the Smart Carry Holster. Its perfect for the hot weather in Florida because you can wear shorts easily with it and also have no shirt on. Here is a good review of it with a Glock26 by someone on youtube.

+1 on the MTAC and K&D. I live just on the other side of the Flordia border in Georgia. My MTAC is by far the most comfortable concealment holster.....being tuckable is a BIG bonus. In shorts and a tee or dressed up my sidearm dissappears in the MTAC. My K&D is an OWB and serves as a secondary carry medium, but I love it!

Never really found a rig I liked for my 26, ended up using it as a BUG pocket carrying in an M-65 Field Jacket. Too thick and bulky even for pocket carry in a biker style jacket (I'm getting a PM9, which is what the 26 should have been) as a primary I can carry my 19 about as easily.
I did have a Galco IWB years ago that was decent for Appendix carry.... I think if I were to try it as a primary, I'd go that way or try cargo pocket or standard IWB.
An ankle rig might work well with it too.
