Ccp

What's everyone conceal carry pistol? Looking at getting a smaller pistol my judge is hard to conceal.

I’ve been carrying a Kimber micro 9 CDP. I have been eyeing a new Glock 43x, looks good on paper but I haven’t had chance to handle one.

I know y’all will think I’m crazy but I went with a Ruger LCP. My wife has one. When we’d go out to eat, I’d slip it in my pocket. Honestly, it’s a great size and you forget you’re carrying. I’ve gotten out of her car lots of times and she’d be like “You’re forgetting something. Aren’t you going to put my pistol back.”
I said to heck with it and bought my own. Paint the sights. The all black is hard to see.
You can find them online for $169 usually. Another $20 for FFL transfer and you’re in one under $200.
It comes with a serviceable pocket holster although mine is currently in a DeSantis.
So far, it always goes bang.

Edit: I’m probably going to get an extended mag just to give me a bit more grip. My pinky won’t fit on the factory mag.

Glock 42.

Mine is an LCP, because I find myself actually carrying it.

I pocket carry a glock 43 and love it. Carried a j frame Smith before the glock and it carried well also. The glock just has a couple more rounds.

M&P Shield 9mm

Depends on what I'm wearing: 1911sc, G43/48, or a smitty Model 42

M&P Performance Center Shield 40 or a J frame Smith

1. Ruger LCP
2. SW 442
3. Glock 27
4. Glock 30SF

Depends on the weather right now i'm carrying a glock g45.

x2 or S&W 642

NAA, 22 magnum.
I have no false bravado, or any intention of engaging a firefight with any sidearm.
My sidearm is to facilitate my escape from the firefight.

LCR

Same here. My handgun is a tool to get me to a long gun.

Smith and Wesson M&P Shield 45

1911 with 2 spare mags.

+1

S&W Bodyguard with green laser and 2 extra mags but often in winter add a GP100 in 357.

G19. Goes bang every time.

Glock 43

Super soaker with hard water!

Winner!

Ruger security 9

Ruger lcp or S&W .38 snubnose.

Same here

You evil bastard

Depends on what I am wearing. It could be a seecamp 32acp, Glock 19 or a Glock 43x.

Same here.

I know a lot of people carry them, but the LCP seems like junk to me. Crappy trigger and shoot terrible.

Glock 30sf or a Sig 938

Naa 22mag I've carried sig 938 and shield and Glock 42 but always go back to the 22mag

Kahr CM9 for times when I feel like my Glock 23 is too big to conceal. It's a 9mm that's not much bigger than most .380's

(for reference, I have small-ish hands)

Kahr CM9 here too. I have been very happy with it. Nice trigger.

4 things
Buy something small you will carry --- yep, .22, .380, 9 mm ---- It's alabama, it is hot most of the year, pocket size guns beats a .40, .357 sig, etc. in a drawer at home because you "don't want to be bothered with strapping it on."

Have a gun that is bigger in the car/truck -- yep, your .40, .357 sig., a rifle, whatever. Ok, so you grab two guns heading to the truck ----- or hey, just buy a gun for each vehicle you own and leave it in there. Don't flame me for keeping a loaded gun in my truck all the time and one in the audi and one in the Vette, I don't have kids nor grandkids.

Don't listen to all the people on these forums about a .22 isn't big enough, a .380 won't stop a guy hyped up on drugs, a .45 hollow point might not open up if fired from a short barrel into heavy winter clothes or etc. Yes, all that is accurate, but a .22 to the head is nothing to laugh at --- same for a quick shot from a .380 into the leg --- a .45 round is just a huge round with a big hole, expansion, that round is already huge.

Practice shooting yes, but practice drawing and shooting from different pants/shorts and with whatever else you carry in that pocket, if you pocket carry, (fyi. I don't carry anything else in the same pocket as my gun and I use a pocket holster, and it keeps my gun secure, plus in the same place for when I reach in for it) and , positions and times of day (yep, practice shooting at night in low light).

Glock 43 or a Ruger LCR.

I wont carry unless I can pocket carry.

I heard a guy at academy telling little old black lady the same thing about stopping power. I wish I would have said something. I should have said “so you would be good with being shot with a 22mag or 380?” He probably sold her a gun too big/heavy that she will never use.
