I want to carry this gun as a ccw, but am not sure where would be the best place to carry. I do not wear jackets, shirt outside of pants is fine, I have a good size overhang in front. All ideas are welcome. Thanks everyone!
 
Carry IWB at the 1:30 Appendix position. Wear an undershirt and button down shirt. Wear both shirts untucked and over the gun.

And...very important...use a gun belt. Police inner duty belts, using a velcro system works great. (No one will know its velcro fastened, since you are wearing your shirt untucked.)
 
I wear mine most often in a Glock Sport holster that really hugs the body and keeps it as close as a holster that is not IWB can do.

I also have and use an Lou Alessi ankle rig that he made for me a few years back,sadly he is gone but Skip Ritchie is at his old shop and doing as close to his work as any.
 
I carry the slightly larger 19 at the 3 o'clock, under a thick-ish polo shirt that is preppy-tucked in the front to help keep the shirt down.

+1 on a good belt making a huge difference.
 
I carry a G26 (same-sized gun) IWB at 3 o'clock if I'm going to be in the car for a long time or doing a lot of driving that day. Otherwise it goes at 3:30-4 o'clock for best concealment. My holster has a FBI cant, and I usually wear untucked polo shirts.

I tried appendix IWB carry with a uncanted/straight IWB holster, but on my frame (6' tall, 175 lbs, 33" waist) the G26 is thick enough that it prints pretty badly there.
 
OWB with an outdoor shirt. 8)
I don't have the front overhang though, my problem is my actual v-shape, so if I carry IWB I look like I have a tumor. That's how I carried my 26.
 
I am gonna buck the trend and say OWB with a good high ride holster like a desantis speed scabbard.

I carry a G26 (same gun, different caliber)

I started carrying IWB at 3 o'clock with a MTAC minotaur. I love the holster and still use it sometimes, but OWB is more comfortable and I can get away with it MOST of the time.

I think the right answer is different for everyone. That is why so many of us have a drawer full of holsters we don't use. If there was one definitive answer, there would not be so many choices out there.
 
A FIST #1AK ultra-thin Kydex holster. It's an IWB, works beautifully, I loved it, even though they aren't the sexiest of holsters unless you like fruity emo boys, but if you've got an overhang you'll appreciate the super thin material and I would carry it like they said 3-3:30.
 
IWB-----Comptac Minotaur IWB holster.........nicest, most comfortable holsters I own..............
OWB-----Desantis or Serpa
 
I carry mine mostly with a pancake hip holster with an untucked shirt. I have an IWB holster but I have gotten to the point that I dont care if anyone sees the bulge from it. I have just gotten use to people staring at me when I open carry on duty it doesnt bother me anymore and I dont care if they are offended that someone would carry a gun.
 
I carry my G26 in a 5.11 holster shirt. Think of an under armor shirt mixed with a shoulder holster. They are not cheap, but are made very well.

I use too [don't own any Glocks nowdays] carry a G-27 OWB in a Galco Belt
Slide, that worked really well for me. But, I got a wild hair up my nose and
got shed of all of my Glocks. Now, I on the 1911 band wagon~! ;) :D I did
position the little Glock and its holster whereas it could be drawn from a
seated position [driving a car comes too mind] without any problem; just in
case a perp decided to come to the window~!
