What’s Your EDC Conceal Carry?
Posted on 4/25/21 at 7:34 pm
Posted on 4/25/21 at 7:34 pm
So my CCP got approved 4 months after sending my prints in, so I’m in the market for a conceal carry pistol, preferably one that I can carry in my pants pocket. I have an M & P Bodyguard .380 that I’ve had a few years, but I’m wanting something chambered in 9mm.
I’ve been looking at some YouTube videos the last couple of days. The Sig P365 seems to be the most popular choice, but my girlfriend has one and it’s a little too small for my hand. They have the 365XL now which is a little bigger and performs better supposedly.
The Glock 43X seems like a popular choice, but I’ve never been crazy about the look and feel of a Glock. I really like the looks of the Springfield Hellcat in flat dark earth. Some folks seem to like the M & P Shield Plus the best.
Just wanting to get some opinions. Thanks in advance.

Sig Saur P290 RS
9mm power in a DAO pocket pistol. I also have a S&W .38 hammerless snubby revolver that I really like.
ETA: I wanted a small pistol chambered in 9mm. Small, but well balanced with good mass to handle the recoil. I also wanted a pretty streamlined, snag free design since I appendix carry. P290 is a good fit.

M&P Shield

Springfield Hellcat. No complaints here on carrying or how it shoots. It’s a very smooth gun for its size. The stock sights are great too

Nothing like that exists for me. Just a little size increase makes a huge difference for pocket carry.

I carry a Kahr CM9. Like it. Had to break it in shooting it. Good trigger.
With that being said...
I was in a position at a gas station off I10 not farm from steamboat bills. There are woods to the north and the sketchiest people has taken up residence. One charges me while I had my door open where my pistol was. I back from the pump nozzle to my door to grab it and hollered at the guy. He was so bombed out of his mind he seemed to realize what he's doing and stood in his tracks...
I got back in the truck and thought about whether or not my Kahr would have fired.
I think I'll by a Glock next. The 43x is nice and shoots well.

Springfield XDS .40 with some RIP ammo
Posted on 4/25/21 at 8:55 pm to JYD
I carry a Springfield Hellcat OSP with a Swampfox Sentinel RMRc. I also have a Ruger LCP II with a pocket holster if I’m in a hurry.
Posted on 4/25/21 at 8:56 pm to JYD
I would say buy one glock and one springfield.

I also agree on pocket carry. Even with my Ruger LCP II being as small as it is it prints easily depending on what type clothing is being worn.

Warm weather where legal- P365
Cold weather where legal- M&P 2.0 Compact

Springfield XDS in .45
I usually wear a blazer, easily concealed. If no blazer it fits in a pocket nicely.

Shield 9mm is my usual

I’ve got a kydex pocket holster that hides the LCP pretty well, but the bigger issue is being able to get it out quickly. I don’t pocket carry unless I absolutely have to, but the LCP is as big as I can go when I do.

Definitely one of the ones I’m considering. H&K seems to make great firearms.

I'm 5'9" 145 lbs. I have a springfield hellcat that conceals well on my frame. What I like about it is that it has a double stack mag for a 13-round capacity vs the XDS/LCP with a single stack. The wider handle for the double stack makes it a more natural fit/feel in my hand. Plus, it helps with the snappy recoil of the shorter 9mm's, IMO.
