looking for a new handgun for ccw

[tonyt22]

Looking for a new gun to start my ccw all mine so far are full size I'm looking at the xds 9 I know it's off roster will I be able to use it for my ccw or does it need to be on roster if so any suggestions striker or hammer doesn't matter would also like single stack and has to be 9

The Shield is very popular.

But yes, full size gets to be a pain after a while. Good luck, let us know what you decide on!

You can have an off roster gun on your ccw. I second the Shield though.

I have some range time with the shield didn't really care for it but it could have been because it was in 40 cal

I shot the Shield 9MM, Is not a bad gun at all. The recoil is manageable and shooting it was comfortable.

Smaller guns in .40 can be fairly snappy.

So that's 3 for shield any other contenders ?

Something in a Glock 19 size. Glock, M&P, XD, pick whichever one you like best. Sig P320 is an option to.

I have a Shield and I really like my Springfield EMP.
Also have a S&W 469 but it is a double stack and will no longer be able to use 13+ round mags so I got the Springfield EMP.

If you're going off roster, take a look at Walther PPS. On roster, maybe a Kahr PM9?

[Lonestargrizzly]

Glock 17.

[Red-Osier]

Sig 938 or p238

[BennyAdeline]

Pretty much and single or double stack sub compact from a reputable armory will work.

XDs 9 or .45 are good choices and can use same holsters. .45 is a bit snappy but if you practice enough not too bad.

I carry the P239/40 most days. Single stack, easily concealed
