Shopping for a CC handgun- What is your go to and why?

if i bought another one, it would be between the sig365 and hellcat.

i own the walther pps m2 le version. No complaints. Pretty ergonomic has different magazine capacity options.

Get a VP9sk or the sig.

You want something comfortable to shoot so you don’t mind putting in the practice time you need with it. Extended mags can make that a much more enjoyable endeavor. JMO.

This video is great. Accuracy and speed, Grip is why you miss

I know it’s a bit off topic, just something to think about when looking at a pistol you’re intending to shoot well.

Glock 48 with Shield Arms 15 round magazine. Essentially you get a thinner grip, thinner slide, longer barrel but shorter slide than a Glock 19 with the same capacity. All those minute differences add up when carrying.

I mainly carry a Kel Tec .32 now since I’m lazy. Out of your choices though, I’d go with the 43X. There are 15 round mags for it now too.
As for buying, use Gun Deals to compare prices and shipping. I’ve used Smoky Mountain Guns and Mr Gun Dealer lately for free shipping. And then call around in your area to compare transfer fees.

And the best way to search on Gun Deals is by UPC.

Ruger LC9s or Kahr CM9. The Kahr is tiny and easy to carry. The Ruger is slim with a great trigger unlike the original LC9. Don't own the Hellcat yet.

Glock 19 G5

There you go. Get one with night sights and be done.

A Taurus .380 most of the time because it's easy. I have a wallet holster that fits in my back pocket, it goes BOOM every time I pull the trigger and it's pretty accurate for its size.

I also have a LC9s that I Cary in a nice owb holster but 90% of the time it's the .380 because it's easy. I hate IWB holsters fwiw.

Also, you may as well check out the S&W M&P 2.0 Compact since the Glock 19 is listed. I got a great deal on mine ($330 with night sights and free shipping) and it's arguably a better gun.

Glock 43 most of the time and the 26 with a jacket. I like the compacts, can hit with them good enough for the range I consider kill or be killed, and just roll my pinky under the magazine. The 43 in a crossbreed Supertuck is practically unnoticeable to me when I wear it. The 26 prints more, requires larger than my normal waist sized pants and makes it difficult to access my wallet in my back pocket.

For a number of different reasons, I don't have any of the guns you mentioned. Regardless, since I have been carrying concealed for a number of years, I've developed some thoughts.

What are you favorite cc handguns and why?

---

I started cc a Springfield XD in 40 S&W. It didn't take long for me to realize it was going to be too heavy and too thick. It was quickly replaced by a Kel Tac PF9. As things have evolved, my cc guns have gotten smaller and lighter. I now carry a Kahr CW380 (pocket carry) most of the time, followed by a Kimber Micro 9 (IWB) a good bit and a Kahr CM9 (pocket or OWB) sometimes. During the in between years, I carried a Taurus Model 85 in 38 Spepc, Kel Tec PF9 Commander 1911 45 ACP, Officer 1911 in 45 ACP, Kahr CW45, and Kel Tac P3-AT. I came across a Taurus G2c at a bargain price let year so I bought it to see just how bad it was. The OB loves to hate on a Taurus. It's become my cc gun when I'm hunting. I do't worry about getting it dirty or wet while hunting since it cost <$200. Work dress requirements are the reason for carrying the 380 so much. All my cc guns have a healthy break in period before they're carried. All have been reliable, even the (hated by the OB) Kel Tecs and Taurus. Given the advances in defensive 9mm ammo, I'm comfortable carrying a 9mm instead of the 45.

Single stack guns are more comfortable for me to carry that double stack guns. The 380 is always carried in my right front pocket. The Micro 9 is carried IWB. The Kahr CW9 is carried in the front pocket or OWB. I just bought a Kahr CW9 last week but haven't broken it in yet. It's main use will prob be at church. I always carry at least one spare magazine for whatever gun I'm using. Buy both a nice holster and a holster belt. I prefer leather holster. I use leather or synthetic belts, depending on dress requirements. Obviously I like Kahr's, but not everyone does. Unlike striker-fired guns, a Kahr trigger is longer, but smooth, like a nice DA revolver trigger. My Kahr's break at 5-6#.

None of the guns you mention are well suited for pocket carry. Are you going to cc IWB or OWB?
