From my research so does a Hellcat. I'm not sure why my expectation to ankle carry is "ridiculous".
The primary reason for a G26 is a BUG to ones primary, be it a G19, G17, G34 or G45. I've got one to go with my 19s. That said my main BUG is an S&W 442 with a G19 as a primarily and if I carry two Glocks the second is more likely to be another G19.

I live in WA so they would not help you. A LOT of the people here live down in OR so I am sure some will mention places. Its FAR cheaper to pay for some rentals before you start buying. Used to be you could fondle some, buy, play with them. If you decided you wanted something else just sell one to buy another. Sadly those days are gone now so if you buy the "wrong gun" its a hassle to get most of the money back or you take real hit to unload it. Not to mention the rentals are just plain fun.
Yeah the place here has a few to try, $10 a pop, seems reasonable, ESPECIALLY to get the perfect one for me and avoid buyer's remorse. I'll be keeping an eye out for recommendations, thx for your help!I live in WA so they would not help you. A LOT of the people here live down in OR so I am sure some will mention places.

There is no way you're going ankle carry a double stack semi-auto pistol with an optic and light unless you're Daniel Faalele and bring back '70s big bell jeans.
Closer to full size than what? The 19 is Glock's "compact" model.
I would consider the Hellcat a sub-compact pistol but still too large for realistic ankle carry, which IMO is a niche method in the first place. You are so much better off keeping a handgun on the belt but off the small of the back. AIWB if actual concealment is a major priority in an office environment.
Several reviews on YouTube said they kept the gun snug, but who knows if they were paid, or for how long it would, would the fabric degrade and get lose over time and make the gun floppy? If it lasted for a decent amount of time, I wouldn't mind ordering a replacement, it's less than a tank of gas if it ends up working well, I guess time will tell, thx for the gun recommendations, those are both on my try list before I buy!

This is the rig I'd be using, if this helps to clarify my intent or create better suggestions on an appropriate platform.
Don't believe everything you see on Boobtube. They are trying to sell you something.
I guess the 19 maybe just looks "full size" compared to the 43/48 or maybe I just don't remember, it's been a minute.
Believe me that 10 spot is NOTHING compared to buying something then deciding you want something else. Unless you don't mind selling the one for around 50% of what you paid its a LOT of hassle and hoops to sell. All in the name of keeping us all safe of course.
The G48 is the same size as the G19 but thinner and does not have a full length dust cover or light rail.
I think I used to be looking at the 43XMOS 10+1 cap then a Shield mag to increase capacity to 12 or 15, can't remember.
The G43X uses the same grip as the G48 with G43, the G43 is a basically a single stack G26.
Good thoughts, thanks!
Yeah that sounds familiar, the Shield mag turned it into a double in the same frame and gave it almost 20 with their mag extension I think.
Would a workaround be getting the specific hostler for the final platform, then attaching it to the inside of the "universal" holster? I believe that was the concept behind Unity Tactical's Clutch appendix holster and it seemed to get universally positive reviews.
