CCW w/ a Glock 26...

I've owned a G26 for 5 years now. I've never had the opportunity to CCW it, though. Wisconsin may be getting CCW soon and I'll need some help with the CCW part. How easily do they carry in the various modes? Will I have to buy pants a size bigger than normal? Suggestions on holsters?
Thanks,

I use:
1. Sidearmor IWB
2. FIST Kydex OWB
3. Galco ankle glove
4. Don Hume IWB with belt clip for easy off and on.
IWB does require some loose pants.
The most important thing is to get a good gun belt from Don Hume, Galco, or somebody like that. Even a good heavy belt is not the same. You will be amazed how much difference a belt designed to carry a gun on can make.
Be safe.

I've got 3 depending on what I'm wearing or where I'm at.
1. Uncle Mike's IWB softie. Just a sleeve with a clip to keep it from slipping down the leg. This one is used at home when I don't have to worry quite as much about keeping it concealed or secure.
2. Uncle Mike's kydex paddle. Love this one. Easy on, easy off.
3. Least used, Don Hume OWB for the belt. I dont' wear belts all that often which is the only reason why it gets less use than the kydex. But the better half loves it.

I also have a G26 and have bought several IWB systems the best was sidearmor. However after using many systems, with my standard size pants, I discovered OWB was the way to go. (IMO) I bought the Slide Guard from High Noon Holsters. Either IWB or OWB I still needed a cover garment... might as well wear pants that fit.

You may want to get your pants one inch larger in the waist for IWB carry, or get slacks with an elastic waistband. For other modes of carry, wear your normal pants size.

Check out the G-Code holsters at www.gunnersalley.com
The G-Code can be OWB or IWB just by switching attachments. Some of the serious folks that I know swear by them. I just ordered one for my G-19.
