When you decide to carry concealed, you should make up your mind to make your wardrobe fit your gun, not the gun fit your wardrobe.
Yeah, I understand this point, but it's not always that easy. People have jobs where they have to wear certain clothes, etc., or certain environments where being made has bigger consequences than others.
If your "jeans are too tight" and that's it, then I agree: suck it up and buy different jeans, but to say that you pick your gun first, then make it work, is easier said than done.
I often see new CCW guys over-arming themselves without sufficient consideration of the carry issues they will face. I started my CCW with a Glock 27, and soon found that I only carried it 50% of the time because of its size and weight. I switched to a 5-shot j-frame .357 and pocket carry. Obviously one is better armed with 10 shots of .40cal. However, a j-frame 99% of the time beats the stars out of a Glock 27 (or ANY other handgun) 50% of the time. There are situations/weather/clothes that cause/allow me to opt for more firepower on a given day, but the j-frame is my EDC.
So, it's all compromise. Some guys choose a Kel-Tec P32 for it's power vs. carryability, and some choose a full size 10mm after working through the same considerations. Obviously there's 1000s of other choices out there that are somewhere in-between. Nobody is wrong because they reach a different conclusion than I would reach.
Everyone needs to decide for themselves what they are willing to put up with as a carry burden, versus the inevitable downside of an easy-to-carry gun. If you are not carrying at all today, then tomorrow you are carrying a .32 or .380, you've improved your capacity for self-defense...
