It's a novel idea and I think it's pretty nifty, but does it throw off the weight distribution on the gun? I've never tried one like that, I've only seen pictures of these mods online.

I've heard people prefer the grip extensions, but I don't see any advantage to them. You can pinch the skin of your lower fingers between them and the magwell if you're not careful reloading. A friend of mine uses one for 15 round spare mags on his G30, and I've had trouble seating mags in the gun if the sleeve rides up a little bit. I'm not a fan. I carry full sized mags in compacts and subcompacts without the grip sleeve. Some people have problems with feed issues when they grip a fullsize mag in a little gun without the sleeve on, but I regularly shoot with my mags and haven't had that issue.

A 26 is a lot easier to conceal than the 19. It's similar in size to a J frame, only blockier. Trying before buying to make sure you can conceal it is probably a good idea with that too though. What holster/belt combo do you use for CCW?
