Which Glock for CCW?

[secret.asian.man]

buy this guy's glock 30

[BlackDrop50]

29. Full power 10 is cake. Easily controllable and extremely accurate. I'd almost rate it over the 20. Slap on a Pearce grip extension and call it a day.

If you're going to think about carrying something G29 sized, you might as well carry a 15 +1 G19. It's what all the 'cool' guys carry

[Shenaniguns]

Real men carry this!

Couldn't spring for the Pro huh?

Well I don't know about cool, but I've had my G19 on my permit since 1992.

A Glock 29SF is a fine carry weapon. It's a bit fat and requires a good holster, but the vertical height of the gun (top of slide to bottom of magwell) is quite short.

I always find grip height as described above to be the most predominant factor in how well a pistol conceals.

I carry mine in a Crossbreed SuperSlide, and have Pearce +0 extensions.

You can get a longer barrel for it to obtain full velocity potential.

PPT for $985 OTD, I can't complain!

If you want deep conceal, go G36 or any of the sub compacts. G26,27,33.

G26 can hold 13 with the pinky extension +1

G27 and 33 can hold 12 with
the +1

I can carry the G19,23,32 just as comfortable as the subs. However I'm 6' and 210.

A word of warning about the 357sig and sub compacts. This is LOUD. I do NOT recommend this without hearing protection. However, all thing being equal, I'd rather have 12 rounds of 357sig over 40s&w.

If you must go 45acp, the G30 conceals well and you get 11 rounds.

You already know about the G29.

I went with the G36 and haven't regretted it once. Carries like a dream in a CB Supertuck. Had it on all weekend long in Reno and Carson City just this weekend. Don't think it got below 100 degrees hardly at all and it wasn't an issue.

Even the 26/27 unless in your pocket, don't really conceal that much better than a compact (19/23). In a good IWB, there is not much difference in concealability but for me there is much better handling/shooting characteristics in the compact frame size.

I'd opt for the better shooting characteristics and increased capacity of the 19.

[Red Devil]

Yeah, .40 is a crap round.

Yeah, absolute dog-squirt.

What ever ya do, don't shoot these...

.40 Federal HST 180 gr Ammo Gel Test

(they should be given out free to hoodlums and drug-runners they suck so much)

I own a Glock 29 for backpacking, and it is significantly bigger than my Glock 26. More closer to a Glock 19 in size, but thicker.

[PandaLuv]

glock 26, such a fun little gun to shoot.

The G19... Big enough to shoot like a full size, yet small enough to conceal.

[ElDub1950]

I see everyone talking about standard capacity mags (13,15,17 etc). So how do you get away with that here in CA?
