I’ve been conceal carrying a Glock 19 (no red dot) for a while. Getting an EDC belt (NexBelt) made it comfortable for me to appendix carry my Glock 19 with a hard holster, even while sitting in a car. But it’s still big enough that anyone that really looks at me could notice the outline of my gun behind my T-shirt.

That’s why I’m thinking about something smaller or slimmer for summertime conceal carry.

Buying a new handgun always requires extra consideration, because most all handguns are accurate and reliable. The question is what do you want beyond that? A slimmer profile? More power? More capacity? A lighter trigger?

I need something great that’s smaller or at least slimmer than a Glock 19, but I’d also prefer a similar barrel length and capacity.
