What’s the perferred Pistol around here for concealed carry$

 

[drillsgt]

A lot of love for the Sig P365 here.

While the P365 is a solid (and popular) choice, there isn't "a" single preferred pistol. All the major manufacturers (i.e. Glock, SIG, S&W, Ruger etc.) make decent offerings. Much depends on your desires, wants, needs, limitations, capabilities, budget, etc. There isn't a single pistol for "concealed carry" since "concealed carry" isn't a single, monolithic thing.

CZ 75 PRC most days.

J-frame Snub nose .38 when the PCR isn't with me.

Where did I say the 365 is the single preferred pistol?

A lot of different ideas here??

Most all here will tell you to try many different models..Usually an indoor range will have rental guns for this purpose. This is a great option.

For me--I have many selections for my carry piece. I will NOT carry one of my $800-1000.00 Safe Queens.
I look at a carry gun as a "Tool"= something that will work, and work EVERY time.
In WORST case, I KNOW also that if my weapon is used in a Defense situation, I probably?? will not get it back from the "Court System", or Law Enforcement in a reasonable time=If EVER.
If my weapon does come back, it will NOT have been cared for properly.

^^^For these reasons, I usually carry a Glock-usually in 9MM==G-26 or a G-19.

As always--You KNOW what opinions are like??...Bill.

You didn't. The OP asked about "the preferred pistol."

1) choose a name brand maker
2) choose something your edc and ergos you love
3) choose something you WANT to
Train a lot on

FWIW: don’t worry about ballistics. Pistols are for getting to your long arms!

My&P Shield 9mm. Just picked up some mag extenders that turn the 8-round mags into 10-rounds, from X tech Tactical.

 

[rkwhyte2]

For me it's my P365xl or a J-frame snubby in 38 special.

Let me know how you like them. I'm looking at the Magguts brand of extender.

 

[gregkl]

I also have a Shield though I'd like to get "okay" with carrying my 2.0 Compact.

The P365 is interesting but I don't see me making the investment at this point. The Shield works fine and I shoot it pretty well.

This question always becomes a pi$$ing contest and I have promised myself I will try to eschew that behavior. My pre-newyears resolution.

Nope gotta chime in DW Valor Commander it’s 1/4 in shorter than a Government model makes all the difference!
