Default P226 as CCW?

I agree. There's no doubt that YOU are the recoil buffer for the lightweight 38's. I think the 357's should probably come standard with some orthopedic Dr's visits given the smack you get to the hand with each round. But, given my normal wardrobe (t-shirts and shorts) I'm not sure where I'm gonna hide something any bigger than the 2" snubbie, and I hate the way that my current "standard weight" 2" snubbie weighs down in my pocket like a brick. I just can't see myself carrying that around all day, ya know?

That's interesting. I have a 226 as well and have been struggling with the idea of listing on a CCW. It's BIG and heavy, and seems darn near impossible to me to effectively conceal - but it's my favorite pistol (and I bought it back before the ban on hi-cap mags)
