This video from GUNBROS explores the subjective nature of determining when a handgun is 'too big' for concealed carry.

This video from Tenicor, featuring instructor Jeff, debunks the myth that smaller guns always conceal better. He explains that shorter barrels on subcompacts like the Glock 26 can lead to the grip 'tipping out' due to lack of leverage below the beltline.

This analysis is crucial for anyone seeking to optimize their concealed carry setup.
