...I don’t feel like I’m grabbing a squirt gun out my waistband.
Well, I am the OP and began asking about sub/micro compact CCWs versus carrying a compact.
Now we're witnessing arguments about the semantics of how to shoot charging bears? So possibly
To get away from the bear silliness, and the OP - here's a study by a reputable expert:

Try the test. Dunning-Kruger internet testimonials are worth what you paid for them.
As a moderator (elsewhere) I might modify that to "cats on LSD"Keeping a online discussion on topic is like herding cats.
I like the G26/27 for ccw, they shoot better I think than the micro 9mm's out there and still accept larger mags if need be.
I have a 19X but have not attempted to carry it yet. I am now thinking that the 26 would be much better for carry in addition to the plus point of being able to use 19x mags as well.

The only circumstances under which this makes sense is if the author had never encountered a handgun, or a self defense situation.I’ve never encountered a handgun whose configuration is such that it would interfere with it serving as effective self-defense.
You do know the 19 is the number one most popular carry gun on the market?
The sales numbers make it apparent...Not sure who or how one would correlate the most carried gun on the market versus the most sold pistol on the market?
Based upon what I see anecdotally, my guess would be G43, Shield Plus and or Sig P365 and variants

So,OP has something that works for them and everything else is for cripples and those that squat to pee. Cool story Bro.
I think youre right here, and just in general when it comes to the general public that might be carrying a gun. They want what's easy, and go with easy, simply because it is "easy" and requires less from them.So, seven pages so far?
What did we learn from this thread? Seems the consensus is that not a lot of people agree with the OP's premise.
We've got a butt-ton of members here who cop to carrying LCPs, G2s, G3s, SIG P-238s, P-938s, P-365s, G26s, G30s, J-frames, Kimber Micros and Makos, S&W Shields, SA XDs's, etc., as their primary concealed carry guns.
So apparently, not too many folks consider sub-compacts a CCW handicap.
