Which holster are you using ? I have a 26 and am looking for a new holster something more comfortable.

Nope.... "Beware of the man with one gun. He probably knows how to use it."
Serial swappers who switch back & forth between guns with guns with very different actions & operational controls do not have as much proficiency under high stress situations such as a violent attack.
Compare it to driving a manual shift car one day, an automatic w/ the gearshifter on the steering column the next, and then one w/ the gearshifter on the floor.
In an emergency your focus needs to be on fighting the threat, not figuring out what tool you have & how it works.
Not "attacking" you just passing on what I learned from men smarter than me plus my own personal experience.
My "epiphany" came when I was the victim of a home invasion. I had several pistols & swapped back & forth between three or four of them.
When I woke up at 3:00 a.m. to someone in the house & the adrenaline kicked in I couldn't figure out what gun I had!
It was a very vulnerable moment which was my wakeup call to go get some training from professionals.
One solution for those whose environment necessitates more than one size gun is to insure that the larger & smaller platform at least have the same manner of operation & preferably similar controls so that under stress you don't have to think about the "tool" just how to do the "job".

Same for me everyday for the past 7 years. I feel naked without it. Glock 23, extra glock 22 mag.
Not me. I've tried that in the past and ALWAYS end up just carrying one more than the others. So in the end I decided to carry based on worst case scenario. The question to myself everyday is, "If the SHFT what do I want in my hand?". My answer is my WC 1911. If a life is on the line (mine or 3rd party) then I don't to ever feel I've given away anything for the sake of comfort, laziness or "something different". That's just me though, I see no issue with changing out weapons as long as you're proficient with the ones you carry.
1911 all the time & a derringer in the pocket
I'm of the Protective Measures' school of thought. All I carry are Glocks or if I do go with another handgun it is of the point and shoot variety. No safeties on any of my carry pieces.
I swap my carry guns based on what I'm wearing/doing that day, not my mood.
Yea It's tough, do I go with the Glock or the Glock?
