3” or 4” conceal carry

[Revelation]

Anybody have a problem carrying a 4” ??
I currently carry a 3” but wouldn’t mind having that extra barrel length of a 4”
Better site plain, recoil, etc.
Just wondering how much harder to conceal a 4”

Thanks

Everybody is different…try it and see. I carried a 5” 1911 for years without complaint.

I carried my Gen 4 Glock 19 before I traded it off for my current 20. I actually CC’d that one for a week or so until I bought my current carry pistol, a G29.

A 4” is definitely doable.

same here,,, carried that all the way down to a bauer .25 acp, and everything in between

Longer barrel is easier to conceal than longer grip. If your holster is set up correctly you’ll never notice the longer slide length.

I'm partial to 3" as I pocket carry frequently.

I carry a Rock Island ultra mid size 1911. It has a 4.25” barrel. No issues. I carry it owb in a versa carry arch angel holster

I carry a G17 appendix with a "minimal" holster (Raven Vanguard) .
I can leave it in place, even when sitting. The beavertail does dig in a little, but it doesn't bother me too bad.
I do sometimes take it out if I have a long drive.
