Concealed Carry Recommendation
Posted on 11/19/15 at 8:13 pm

I have the bodyguard 380 but don't really like the way it shoots.
was looking at the glock 43, but would rather have a safety and hammer on my concealed so I can keep one in the chamber and feel a little better about it.
This brought me to the Sig P938. Anyone have any experience with this gun?

Why do you think you need a hammer?
I can somewhat understand a safety but very few of my guns have a safety.
If you can get by without the hammer, I bought a S&W shield last week and replaced the trigger with an Apex. The trigger wasn't terrible but it wasn't good. I have shot with the new trigger yet but hope to this weekend but just dry firing, the new trigger feels really good.
Bought a holster for it tonight and wearing it right now trying to break it/me into a holster.

You're going to get shredded by the tactical guys for wanting external safeties.
Sig makes good stuff. I shot a DA/SA .45 (don't remember the model) and it was nice. Very easy to shoot.
There's lots of options out there for exposed hammer guns. They're generally DA/SA which most people dislike. It takes a good bit of shooting to get used to.

Smith and Wesson Shield. If you don't trust the gun that has no hammer and safety, don't carry. If you don't trust it, why would you carry?. A well made gun will not go off unless you pull the trigger. Holster it and you are set. That said, the Sig is nice. But do not carry if you can't trust a gun simply because it has no safety.

I have a P228. Its DA/SA with a decocker, but no safety. I believe HK P30SKS checks all of your boxes. And maybe some other HK models (P2000) with those features available as well. Can't say I know much about them.

Check out the Walter CCP. Its basically a small version of the HK VP9. Its striker fired but has a safety. Very smooth shooting gun and very accurate.

Look at the Walther P99c. It is a DA/SA striker fired and has a decocker. No external safety however.

I have recently done a lot of research while looking for a CC pistol. I initially started at the Ruger LC9s, but it just didn't feel good in the hand. I then looked at M&P Shield and Glock 43. They are very similar guns, but I felt like nothing justified the higher price on the Glock. I also looked at the Sig P938, but was immediately turned off by the hammer. I purchased a Shield yesterday on Gunbroker NIB for $334. Bass Pro has them for $449.
The Shield has a safety, but I like having the choice of not using it if I don't want to. I want to get comfortable carrying the gun and also practicing pulling it, turning off safety, and firing. If I can't get the steps down to be confident in switching the safety off, then I will choose to carry it hot, and take the steps to prevent unnecessary firing.
I really wanted a reason to buy a Sig, but there is no easy way to fire it quickly. You either carry it cocked with safety on, or no safety and have to cock it. I like the idea of carrying with no safety if I so choose, and the P938 doesn't give me that option.
Now I need recs on a IWB holster for the Shield. I have looked at Crossbreed online but that big piece of leather seems rather bulky. The reviews say they are the best though.
