How many conceal carry full size auto pistols?

It's not as much that, though I do notice a balance difference. It's simply noticing that weight more, specifically in my lower back.

I've been wondering if it's just because I've grown accustomed to the lighter guns and I just need to gut it out for a bit, planning on just carrying the 226 for the next week or so and see if I can just power through for a while

If it's lower back pain, especially in the middle near your spine, that's something to pay attention to. There are a lot of lower back issues that do not respond well to powering through. Mine started in my mid 30s. It hasn't gotten worse, but hasn't gotten better either. When it acts up, let it heal.
When mine acts up, I find it more comfortable carrying further back, toward the 5:30 position, rather than the 3:30 position.
 
A Glock 17 carries nicely in a good holster, everybody makes good holsters for a Glock 17

My favorite full size carry gun is the Hi Power, which is surprisingly easy to conceal considering the 5" barrel.

I have also carried a Sig 226 and a GLOCK 21. Much bulkier, but not impossible.

Agreed, I also like to carry my P9M Hi-Power since I got my new iwb holster @ 1 O'clock as well as my Sig P228. I also like to carry my Astra A-100 @ 6 O'clock iwb & owb. I just got a new Taurus model M44 4' 44 Mag and with the right holster I should be able to carry it fairly easy at both positions :)

A few weeks ago I had a gun come through that was marked Bio hazard. Most often we refer to these guns as meat guns because of blood and other stuff on them. But this gun got the new name of nut juice. The owner of the gun got into a fight with someone and was appendix carrying. His gun went off when he tried to pull it and shot off one of his testicles. :eek:
I'm not a fan of appendix carry.

I wouldn't carry a Taurus anything for self defense unless it was the only gun on the planet and both the Berrettas look clunky to me.

That said, define full size.

If a four inch barrel is the standard my Glock 19 is a full sized gun.

I've predominantly carried full sized guns since I've started carrying. CZ75B, S&W4006, M&P9 and if a four inch barrel is the standard my Glock 19. It's definitely doable but after carrying polymer guns for 4 or 5 years I think a steel gun would drive me nuts.

CZ makes DA/SA guns in .40 S&W

Well there is people that will NOT carry a Glock so all that I can say is that we should not run any ones gun down we should say what they like to carry and let it go at that I carry a Bersa CC 9mm and a 380 thunder that has 15 RD

I didn't run anyone's gun down. I merely stated that I wouldn't carry a Taurus and then I said what I liked.
