Best CCW gun in your OPINION

[DolphinFan]

I only have 3 on my permit.
Ruger LCP +1 = 7, 1 chambered = 8
Glock 26 +2 = 12, 1 chambered = 13
Glock 43 +2 = 8, 1 chambered = 9

I carry a Glock 17 everyday. Carry it in an IWB holster. Never had an issue. Sometimes I touch my side to see if I have my pistol on me. I am 5' 8" 185 lbs.

OP, You mentioned that your Shield isn't in rotation because of lower capacity. MagGuts can bump it up a little bit to 9+1 and 10+1 for the stock 7 and 8 round mags. They can be a pain to install sometimes, but once in correctly I have had no problems with them. I have shot a lot of rounds through them with no issues.

Eric Clapton can play a Walmart guitar better than I can play a very expensive Les Paul


CCW should
Be reliable
Be relatively rust proof

Mosin obrez. I carry appendix.

[Old Marine]

My criteria is as follows.
What I can shoot accurately , reliabilty,
capacity.

and then concealability.

Having said that
Kimper Pro Carry II
Sig 365xl
Rds equipped G19.


At 5 yds, I keyhole the Kimber 2 to 3 out of 8, with a fist sized pattern.

The 365 about the same, and I can easily pocket carry it.


The G19, I work at like it a friggin I ob!


Pocking up a M18 soon....My gucci Glock may be retired soon.

Don’t let anyone give you the runaround. The answer is simple: CZ PCR https://cz-usa.com/product/cz-75-d-pcr-compact/

Shield 9

Apex Carry/Duty kit

Magguts mag kit (10+1)

Shield RMSc on a S&W factory optics ready slide (can't see the front sight if I lose my glasses...dot is perfectly visible)

Heinie Straight 8 night sights

The thing just runs and shoots ridiculously straight for me...not even looking for a replacement.

The G19, I work at like it a friggin I ob!

I spent over 10 years working with Marines in joint activities and became fluent in MC jargon.

But you lost me here.

I don't have it, but I think stainless Sig p232 would be perfect. Best looking ever. As for shootability, well, who cares. If we can shoot airweight 38spl, sig p232 should be a breeze.

Wait what? 5 yds??

I've always been uncomfortable messing with mags, for fear it leads to a feeding issue. But I'll look into the MagGuts, I know they have a pretty solid reputation. Thanks!

Out of all the hand guns I have I consider my Glock 26 the best...
But I can shoot my 17,19 and 42 just as well...
Practice enough and any gun can make a good carry....
I don't carry my 19 because most of the time I don't wear shirts that conceals it good enough for my liking
