15-Round Magazine Sleeve

I've tried carrying the 15-round magazine with & without the sleeve. I've noticed that it doesn't make that much of a difference to me. I just don't find the the weight of the sleeve makes that much a weight difference. At times I only carry the stock 10-round magazine with a Pearce Grip extention. While I'm at work as an "unarmed" security guard I prefer to carry the 15-round magazine.

You do raise a valid point that the floorplate might "tent" the pants to some degree. But to say that it would make a major difference, nah, I don't see it.

And, like you said, no one has ever noticed the bulge of my G26 in the smartcarry holster yet. I doubt anyone will in the future either.
