I DO! I DO! I DO!
I have a falcon kyden IWB 10* cant IWB. It conceals fine! Most definitely takes getting use to (I came from a Kahr as well), but as long as you don't wear pants that are skin tight around the waist, it's perfect!
I carry a standard 10rd'er in the gun, and have a G19 mag for backup.

Better yet, G19. The 26 carries a bit smaller, but with a bit of adjustment / holster choice, the 19 isn't much bigger. It also counts as a full size pistol, if that is a requirement for anything you'd like to do, and has the light rail, with better capacity to size ratio, IMO.
I like dale fricke and jm custom kydex as far as holsters are concerned.
Where do you plan on concealing the 26?

I don't actually carry mine concealed, but when it is prudent, it is easy enough to cover it with a t-shirt or sweatshirt or whatever I happen to be wearing at the time. Keep in mind this is carried OWB in a Blackhawk Serpa holster, not exactly slim and contoured to the body. Mr88GT does the same with a 17L (though the long slide occasionally plays peek-a-boo underneath a t-shirt). So if I can conceal it under those circumstances....
It's a blocky and wide firearm to conceal IWB, IMO. It didn't help that I have a rounder frame on which to place this flat, blocky firearm. Such is the very reason I decided to throw caution to the wind and just start OCing (and I just don't like IWB carry). That said, I started carrying 15 years ago. I do believe the options are infinitely better for concealing these days.
As for shooting it, it's a Glock. I don't own a more reliable firearm. And despite the smaller dimensions, it's still got enough heft to avoid that snappy recoil the smaller pistols can have. My only complaint was the stock mags left my pinky dangling. That was fixed with a magazine base plate swap. These days, I've also been known to use the 17-rd mag as an extender all its own.
I do love my Glocks. I'm not snobbish about them (I love my 1911s too). But the Glocks are the only choice for EDC for me.

Also, I find that I'm more accurate with the gun if my pinky is hanging off the grip. That's one reason why I don't use a mag extension. And, for me, it's just way easy to carry the G26 than the G19.
I like my G26 so much, I want to buy another.

I carry the 27 (same size) IWB with a Reaper Tactical holster. I have carried it appendix, but I find it's more comfortable and conceals very well around 4 o'clock. I use the short Pearson extension in the gun and carry a second mag with a plus 2 extension on the opposite side.
Dale has a new component avaliable for that holster, a sort of bridge that will tuck the butt end in to your body. I just had him ship me one, ill get pics up when I add it to the holster. Info over at pistol training, in accessories forum if you're interested.

Mine needs to be shortened a bit. I.switched to JM custom aiwb recently and it just removes all signs of the 19. Hoping that this adapter will keep the AA viable. Oh, and his Gideon elite is awesome too.
IWB everyday carry normally at night. I'm thin.
26 or 19 in a Galco King Tuck. OWB is typical, but the 26 and 19 both conceal for me very well. I do not wear skinny jeans, I am using a 5.11 belt with Kydex insert, and I'm 6'ish 200lbs.
I also throw the 26 into a Galco Ankle Glove and with normal fitting jeans or BDUs very few people would ever notice it. That's with the pinky extension on it.
