If so, how do you carry it?

Would you have chosen a different SA in 9mm?

Anyone pocket carry it?

Those super compact pistols are too small to carry in a holster, and have a proper draw. I've tried them, but don't carry them now. I think the G19/G23 size pistols are perfect and as small as I go.

It's a little fat is the issue for me and harder to conceal, I have a G27...same thing just in 40 cal.

I have settled on a G43 and I use a Sticky holster.

I carry a G26 and it's perfect. I did add the Pearce mag extensions for improved grip, and carry IWB at 1600 in either a kydex hybrid or a full kydex holster depending on the situation and what I'm wearing. Never an issue.

I daily carry a G27 in a "SmartCarry" appendix holster. It does create a bit of a bulge, but only my wife notices. When I want low profile (eg. going into a hospital) I will sometimes switch at a S&W Shield in 9mm. The new S&W Shield 2.0 9mm has a slightly wider grip to accommodate a staggered magazine and would be a good SA 9mm option.

I carried a 19 when i met my wife and she happened to own a 26. For a while carried the 26. I kinda agree the 26 is almost too small, more specifically the grip is "stumpy" to me as well. I'm slightly above average at 6' so i really like the little extra length of the 19 and do NOT think there is any gained comfort for the 26 over the 19.

Carried a 26 for a couple of years in an appendix style IWB holster. I did have the Pearce mag extension on it. It is a bit bulky for it’s size, but was a decent choice in the mid-90’s. Better options are out there today.

I carried a 26 as my first carry gun for a few years. First year was 4-5 o'clock in an IWB, killed my back and fat rolls so I switched to pocket carry for the remainder of my time with it. It was replaced by a Kahr CW9 . I liked it, but it was almost too bulky for fat boy pocket carry, hence the change. Never looked back from pocket carry though, it ensures program compliance on my part

I bought my son a G48 and ordered a PSA 15 rounder for it, I love it, fixing to take it from him. The 48 is a slimline 19

I carried a 26 in an appendix holster for the longest time. Have now switched to a 43 and Rmr appendix. Almost same round count but at half the size.

My first carry pistol was a G26. I carried both appendix and 4 o'clock. At the time, it was about the best option I could find for a sub compact. The market has certainly changed since those days more than a decade ago. No days I generally IWB a Sig P365, IWB/OWB Shadow Systems MR918, and OWB GP100.
