My only gun at present is Ruger SP101 3 inch .357. I just recently got CCW. I have carried the Ruger a few times in a Smart Carry, not bad but not appropriate for all attire. I will eventually add S&W 642 but I also want semi-auto. I've shot G19 at range and shot it very well despite my reservations about its rather bulky feel in my small hands. My number 1 reason for choosing the G19 would be Glock's reputation for reliability as I've held other guns such as S&W M&P that feel more comfortable in my hand. I've heard good things about the SIG 239 but never shot it. It's single stack and thinner than the glock with fewer round capacity. I'm new to CCW and have never carried but plan to carry IWB or Smart Carry. Do these fractions of an inch in gun dimensions (especially width) significantly affect comfort and concealability? Of course my number one issue is reliability. I would appreciate any experiences from those of you who carry primarily IWB with both casual loose fitting clothes and dressy tighter fitting clothes. I don't want to spend $500-600 then discover that I don't want to carry it because I can't comfortably or effectively conceal it.
