I hear you, but for some body types, OWB might not be the best option. It really depends on your body shape and the kind of clothes you wear. IWB allows for better concealment.
Great point! I’m a bit on the heavier side, and I find IWB tends to dig in more for me compared to OWB.
I think it’s all about personal comfort. Some like IWB for its concealment, while others can’t stand the feeling. It’s important to try different styles to see what works for you.
Absolutely! I’ve rotated between all styles before settling on a nice, comfortable IWB holster that fits my lifestyle. Not all holsters are created equal.
Appendix carry has been my go-to! It fits nicely for my body type, and I find it very easy to access my Glock 26 when needed.
I’ve been hesitant about appendix carry. Doesn’t it get uncomfortable while sitting?

I used to think that too! But with the right holster, it can be comfortable even while sitting. It’s a game changer for many folks.
I’m all for OWB, but I’ve heard horror stories about people printing. Make sure whatever holster you choose is snug enough to keep things under wraps!
Totally agree! Printing can be such a concern. A good holster does make a massive difference.
What about holster materials? Kydex vs leather? I’ve read both have pros and cons. Any opinions on which might suit a Glock 26 better?
Kydex is generally more durable and easier to maintain, while leather offers classic comfort. It really depends on how often you’ll be carrying your Glock 26.
That’s a good insight! I’m leaning towards Kydex since I need something more practical for everyday use.

It’s always a balancing act between comfort and practicality. Finding that sweet spot is key, am I right?
The retention mechanism in a holster for the Glock 26 is crucial for both security and accessibility. You want something that keeps the gun secure but also allows a swift draw if needed.
Absolutely! A good retention system prevents accidental discharges while also ensuring you’re ready when it matters. It’s all about that balance.

It’s interesting how many people overlook the importance of retention. A holster that doesn’t secure your firearm can lead to dangerous situations.

Exactly! You don’t want to be caught off-guard if something happens. Retention is key.
I personally prefer holsters with adjustable retention levels. It’s great for tailoring the draw to your comfort while maintaining safety.
That sounds practical! Different situations might call for different retention settings.
Ease of access is just as important. You want a holster that provides quick draw capability without compromising safety. Can’t afford to fumble during a critical moment.
