That's for your recommendation.

I've been looking for comparison, that is, side by side photos of the G19 next to the G21.

Yes, I'm sure the G21 is bigger, but all that much...? I'm not certain...

As to fear of printing not a problem for me.

Thanks again.

P.S. Just before I started looking at other threads, I just saw you posted IWB and while that works well for some, I prefer an OWB.
Update: I recently bought a Don Hume H721 OWB belt holster for my Glock 21. I am very pleased so far. It carries the pistol high, tight, comfortably, and at a proper angle, so that even the G21 disappears under my suit jacket.

The only complaints are the general inconvenience of a belt holster and that it feels slightly looser than some other leather holsters. The pistol stays in when you hold it upside down, though, and I don’t plan on doing any cartwheels.

I don't have a G19 to give you a comparison shot, but I can tell you the G21 is substantially bigger. It is noticeably bigger than even a G17--the size difference is more apparent when holding it or carrying it than when looking at it.

I find it considerably bulkier than a government-frame 1911, but is also considerably lighter. It weighs about as much loaded as a 1911 weighs unloaded.

I am a huge fan of the pistol overall. I've owned mine for over 15 years. I've put countless rounds through it, with not one malfunction with factory ammo and factory parts. The only malfunctions I've ever had have either been with my own crappy semi-wadcutter reloads or with an aftermarket steel guide rod I put in to deal with the squeak the factory rod makes when working the slide. It isn't pretty, but it is an easy shooter if your hands are big enough. You certainly never feel inadequately-armed with 13+1 rounds of .45.

I am looking for an OWB concealment holster for mine as well, because OWB is certainly better when you are wearing a jacket. I've heard good things about the Galco Combat Master. I just ordered what one might consider its competitor, the Bianchi No. 7 Shadow II, for my S&W model 60. The only OWB holster I currently have for the G21 is the injection-molded Blade-Tech one.

Thank you.

Exactly Right!

Hhhhmmm, maybe I'm the only one to ever consider concealed carry a Glock 21 given the under-whelming response to my query?

Yes?

No?
I am carrying one right now, in a Galco Summer Comfort IWB. Conceals reasonably well at 3 o’clock under my suit jacket. I’ve carried it at 5 o’clock under a loose shirt.

The 21 is a bulky pistol, though, so it helps if you are not too self-conscious about printing.
