It's not just the thickness. A G26 loaded is 5 oz heavier than the G43. And with handguns 5 oz is a lot.
I can make a G26 work during cooler months, but it is a lot easier to carry my G43 or 10 round Sig 365 IWB when it is 100 degrees here in GA. And I can make the G43 work with an ankle holster. The G26 is just enough bigger that ankle carry is a no-go.
