JENN then you have glock 26 on a stick
Hehe, that's kinda funny.

That's awfully generous of you. Just make sure you don't try to force the Glock on him.If you don't mind the rougher grip on the Gen 4, go with it, especially since you're a south paw. The G26 allows for the greatest flexibility in grip length, since you can use the plain 10rd mag, put a pink extension on it, or go with a larger 15rd or 17rd magazine with a sleeve to fill the extra grip space.
Personally, I like the G26 with pinky extensions on the mags. It's very easy to conceal and very easy to get a good grip on it. If you're ever down in my area, I'd be happy to let you try it out at a local range.
If primary use is concealed carry, I'd get the G26. It can still be used with the higher-cap mags. Love the G19, but I would not consider it to be a concealed-carry gun.
That's odd. I carry a G19 concealed every day (where legal of course). I must be doing it wrong.
But in all seriousness, you, the OP, will need to decide which best fits your life style, manner of dress, etc. You could also consider changing (gasp!) certain aspects of your life style if such changes would help you carry a larger, more effective handgun. Just something to think about.

However, don't count out the flexibility of the G26 with the different mag extensions
I have 'em all. 26 all the way, carry a 15rd mag on your other hip and the flush 10rd in the firearm. No need for that pinky finger, anyways.
I certainly don't doubt that people can successfully carry a G19 concealed. ... I could probably carry my remmy 870 concealed if were willing to 'change certain aspects of my lifestyle' (my neighbors would probably think it a bit creepy to see me in a trench coat 24/7.....but just sayin), .... if you are comfortable carrying it concealed, more power to ya. Most folks are going to be happier with a smaller weapon and more likely to actually carry it on their person rather than leaving it at home.
I carried a G30 as a pocket gun for years. The 19 is more or less the same size.
I have a 23 and a 27. The 23 carries in the same IWB holster in the 5 o'clock position almost as easily as my 27. It is a highly concealable weapon with a proper holster and belt, and very comfortable. The 26/27 would be a tad more comfortable, but not by much.Love the G19, but I would not consider it to be a concealed-carry gun.
