Hearing people say that they ankle carry, or pocket carry a sub compact glock makes me think that my pants are way too small. There is no way I could fit a glock on my ankle without printing like I had on spandex jogging pants. Pocket carry is difficult to wrap my head around too, because every pair of pants that I own the pistol sticks half out of my font pocket. How is it that people can make this work without dressing like MC Hammer in the 90's?
I know what you mean. I'm a smaller guy anyway. It doesn't matter what type of pants i have on the 26 prints extremely bad and is like an ankle weight.
Actually you can make a G23 smaller. Its called a grip chop. I would rather have a chopped G23 than a 27. After I get a G24 I'll be getting a G23 for the sole purpose of chopping it for deeper concealment. (don't worry I will eventually get a G23 to keep standard, but the chopped one will be first, and then, after I have all the other .40 Glocks, I will get a 27 to complete the collection)
Yeah, I know about cutting grips down. But it sounds like he is wanting to buy a Glock that he can carry Winter/Summer. If it were my first Glock I wouldn't be chopping the grip. The only benefit that I could see of cutting the grip would be to have a longer barrel. I have shot a lot but i feel just as accurate with my G26 as I am with my G19.
