SIG P365/9mm - either the standard or XL version or as i did, use the XL frame on the standard 365. Can be bought w/safety.

SIG P938/9mm - miniature 1911 IMO and has a 1911 style safety.

SIG P238/.380 - same as the P938, just different caliber. BOTH can be good front pocket carry.

SIG P320/9mm - carry or find a subcompact version. Grip modules are good because you can get a size that you like. Multiple P320 options out there.

S&W Shield or new Shield Plus/9mm - can also be bought with a safety.

Canik TP9 SC/9mm - great trigger and great price point!!

H&K VP9/9mm - the only H&K pistols i like have the push button mag release vs the paddle release.

Glock 43X/9mm - get the Shield Arms mags to have that double stack luxury. If you can find an MOS version, then you can add an optic later if you want.

Glock 45 or 19x/9mm - I'm no Glock fan boy, but i love my 19x. It's the only Glock i own.

In the end, go someplace where you can lay hands on and a place that doesn't mind you checking out the trigger. I believe Academy is one, that WILL NOT remove the trigger lock.

Stay safe!

I have both the 2.0 and the Plus. Excellent, excellent pistols.

The 2.0 gives you a 7 and 8 rnd capacity and the Plus gives you a 10 and 13 rnd capacity with virtually no difference in size. Also, both have safeties.

How many “automatic” pistols were discussed in this so called class?? You honestly think you could grab the barrel of a Glock 19 which is a SEMIAUTOMATIC pistol and keep it from firing?

Edit: your too ignorant to understand that…you do understand that because the slide doesn’t blow back (I’m not conceding that you can grab the barrel and hold the slide from ejecting and reloading a round) doesn’t mean that the firing pin doesn’t strike the primer and send the lead down range. You need to stop watch CNN and movies and come over to Realville.

Your post is ILLOGICAL sir.

Why are inexperienced and children handling your CONCEALED carry gun? We have other problems if strangers or kids are reaching into your pants.

Law enforcement carry is no different than citizen carry - in fact - law enforcement has a higher percentage of so called negligent discharges using your reasoning as we are around 100x the amount or n’er do wells and drawing of said Glocks constantly to qualify, train, use of force, etc.

The objective FACTS are that law enforcement officers do NOT have a slew of negligent discharges involving Glocks or other makes with trigger action safeties.

Practice, practice, practice regardless. A failure to train and often is akin to someone who shoots a bow to get it sighted in, then carries it in their truck for years and decides to take it hunting one day and is shocked when they wound an animal.

If you’re worried about kids accessing the firearm, no thumb safety will be the deterrent to their curiosity and harm. Remove the magazine and separate it from the handgun. No bullets, no bang.

There is a lot of truth to this. I hated Glock's at first but I grew to love them because they are dependable, easy to operate and cheap.

Also, don't get caught up in optics and replacement sights for your gun. When learning how to shoot and carry you need to just put money into ammo for practice. You should be able to put multiple shots on center mass from 10 yards.

The only size difference between the Plus and the 1.0/2.0 is in the grip, starting about halfway down the trigger space. The slides are identical and I'm 99.9% sure can be interchanged. It works fine for a function check but I haven't live fired it yet.

While mine has a safety I do NOT consider it a functional safety for carry. I might put it on if I'm doing something, swapping holster, whatever, but it's way too small to try to operate under stress. Once I'm carrying mine is off, always.

About to go through concealed carry class

Get you a Ruger 22/45.

Thank me later.

Have any of you EVER went to shoot a duck and forgot to take the safety off?

I've seen folks at the range flinch anticipating recoil that never came because they forgot the safety.

You can just leave the safety off when carrying if you want.

Then just get a Glock.

Really, in a proper holster there is no way a Glock or anything similar is just going to go off without a deliberate trigger pull. I think Glocks are more drop-safe than some DA's too.

Boom!! You said it better than me…the most famous negligent discharge on YouTube is the guy quick drawing a 1911 (has a safety and hammer) and screaming “I just effing shot myself!!!” Practice makes perfect and again triggers don’t pull themselves.

sig P290 is a good option for that as well. DA/SA with a flush hammer. Nice mass but not too heavy or too big for CC.

Headed tomorrow to buy the Cr920 combat. Went back and forth between several and all the reviews out there kept pointing me to this gun.
