    I'm not a big guy, 5"7, 185lbs athletic, and I ccw a sig p226 with an extra mag. I wear a size or so larger cargo shorts and an untucked tee shirt. A big help, I think, is the DeSantis holder i have is 360 degrees adjustable on the angle, so I have it tilted forward a bit so the guns grip points more up into my ribs than out my back. It is more noticeable if you bend over or whatever, but most people wouldnt notice unless they're looking for it.

    But I'd rather have a gun I know I can shoot well and accurately, than one that's just a little better at concealing. You just have to be a little more cognizant on your bending/twisting movements, and for me, I make sure the gun is always tilted forward at the angle I want.

    This is what I keep hearing. But I cant get past my concerns with an undersized grip.

    This is where I am coming from. I like shooting my 226 because it is heavy, but that is counterproductive to keeping my pants pulled up. That and the barrel is longer than I want to haul around. Don't want the micro pistolas (control issues ), so looking for stuff in the middle that happens to have a bigger or longer grip option.
    14 . Always carry a change of underwear.
