Good guns for carry and conceal

I have a Concealed permit,but I always open carry.I just have the permit,because in Alabama,it allows you to forgo background checks when buying at most places.I am not really a pistol guy,I carry an old S&W .38 police model with me,and a very small/light .22 carbine rifle,or an AR,depending on which vehicle I am driving.
That said,Kel-Tec and Ruger both have a very nice,very light automatic that fits nicely in your back pocket,available in .380 and 9mm I think.

Smith & Wesson Shield 9mm is what I concealed carry too. For open carry, Smith & Wesson M&P 45.

I have the Ruger LCP .380 and added a pocket clip--similar to a knife clip. When it's in the front pocket of jeans it is very inconspicuous and looks like a knife, but is very easily accessible.

HOWEVER, even when when I'm carrying the .380 I feel as though I should have my .40. I'd hate to need to use my pistol, and only have the .380... Problem is the .40 that I love is my Beretta and it's pretty bulky, so I can't really carry with shorts.

Guess I'm in the market for a new (light and more concealable) concealed carry.

It's what I use but in a .40.

XDS 45

The only thing better would be a 10mm

I added a Pearce +1 to all my clips and even a +2 to one of my clips. But your probably right can't go wrong with either.

My uncle got a PPS M2, and I shot it last weekend. If you go this route, I highly recommend picking what mag you like most, and tossing the other one in the trash. Buy 2 or 3 of the one you're going with. Four different people shot it that day, and we were all over the place when switching from the smaller to the bigger mags. My shield is not like that at all.

I'm talking like 6-8" difference at 15ft


Eta: I did like the gun though, just nowhere close enough to consider switching from my Shield

Yes, it has two. I love my Shield. S&W's M&Ps are awesome firearms.
