I know most people will think this is a crazy question considering the g26 is smaller and as far as concealment goes smaller is better. What I'm wondering is the g26 being just a little bit smaller than the g19 that much better for concealment when using an in the waistband holster such as the crossbreed supertuck holster? I'm a guy with kind of a small frame and I would really like to get some people's input on this. Do you guys have any experience with either of these guns in a crossbreed supertuck holster? Thanks

Glock 19 or 26 for concealability in a crossbreed supertuck holster?

I don't know if you own both guns, or you're looking to buy one of the guns to conceal with an IWB holster. But what I can do for you is post a couple of pictures with both guns in a Crossbreed Supertuck made for the G26. The only difference you will have to deal with is the length of the 19's grip. The muzzle of the 19 sticks out just a tad more than the G26, but has no bearing on comfort or concealment. They're both fairly comfy, but the G26 wins hands down for me, but only when sitting down. I have to deal with love handles so the G19's grip digs in a little more than the 26. But you said your frame is small so it probably won't matter. When the holster is in the 4 O'Clock position strong-side, the 26 is more comfortable when sitting, but they're equally comfortable when standing.
I have no idea how a 26 would fit into a crossbreed made for a G19, but the 19 fits nicely into one made for the Subcompact 26/27 etc... Here's some comparison pics for you.
With a good holster/belt combination, most places that you can carry the 26/27 you can carry the 19/23 just as easily while having a much more capable "fighting" platform.
And again someone gets the point across in fewer words than me. Look at my pretty pictures, but listen to protective measures.
nice response with those images TACTICOOL !!! 
i have had a 19 and currently have a 26 and 17 and carry(ied) all in a supertuck. for me the difference was very small in concealability. in fact, between the glock models, i can carry a 17 about as easily as a 26 and still hide it under a loose t-shirt. i think the advantage in the grip size outweighs the 1/2" length difference between a 19 and 26. my 26 is pretty much a back up gun now.........

I was just agreeing with you.
Absolutely! I tend to be long winded sometimes, and there always seems to be someone who comes along that can get my point across in a much more efficient manner. I was being literal, and in a positive way. Thanks!
I like taking the pretty pictures, redneckcamo.
Glock 19. The vast majority of people will add an extension to the 26 making it the height of a G19, but with a loss of 3 rounds. The 19 is also easier a little easier to control, has a better sight radius and quite simply is the best carry gun ever made.
