Can anyone share their personal experiences with both of these models? In researching for a CCW, I have narrowed the search to these three pistols based upon caliber, size, weight and other criteria. However, since I don't have access to shoot or practice carry all of them, I am in a quandry.
My main concern is the trade-off between capacity and concealability. The Kahr is .90" wide and is 8+1; the Glocks are 1.18" wide and are 15+1 or 10-12+1 depending on the model. My work/after-work wardrobe (suits and business casual), as well as my body type (thick) either generally restrict baggy or untucked clothing, or can still cause printing issues. My body shape is also not very forgiving for IWB, but OWB carry would not be appropriate in this setting. I must also make adjustments for the 4 seasons depending on the severity of weather.
I LOVE the feel of the Kahr, due in large part to the single stack design, but would prefer higher capacity. The Glocks are also comfortable, but am not so fond of their bulky feeling. I am wondering how much a difference that additional .28" will make? In the hand, the two guns feel night and day.
Also, I am interested in knowing your experience with the 12 round extended magazine for the Glock 26 Gen 4, in particular whether there is any palm pinching when shooting. I have heard this complain on the Gen 3.
I look forward to hearing your experiences, carry techniques, etc. with both. Thank you!
