What do you think is the best choice for concealed carry?
Other forums have this debate a lot. Want to see your ideas. I think the ruer LCP makes a nice liht un if you o for runs and need something that will conceal well in light cloths. For Normal use, I think sub compact 9mms, like the kahr p9 or a lihtweiht J frame such as a lcr or 642 are nice. I think you need a comfortable, light gun you will always carry. The .38+P in the pocket beats the 1911 custom tactical at home. What do you say? Smaller packages? Or are you one of those who carries an l-frame IWB?

Glock 26 would be a good carry conceal.

Well you could then get a mag extension to fit more for your hand, or get an XD in compact.

I'm not a Glock fan (much the opposite). But I must admit that when I was looking at conceal-carry pieces earlier this year, I decided Glock was probably the best choice, because there's almost no other pistol that (out of the box) is better shaped and weighted for conceal carry. For that, I can forgive some of my other problems with Glocks (particularly the shape of the grip circumference).
However, I prefer the G19 to the G26. Even with a mag extension, the G26 is less controllable. And the larger-caliber sub-compact Glocks (like the G27, G30, G33, G36, G39, etc.) are even moreso. If I were going to get a semi-auto pistol for conceal carry, the G19 is what I'd probably choose. Of course, I haven't tried any of the compact XD variants.

Give the XDs a try. A friend of mine has a compact in 9mm with a magazine extension for grip so you can fit your entire hand around it.
