Your opinion?
 

I am looking at a new EVERYDAY carry weapon. I use the Beretta 92 on a daily basis as well as a Clock 23. I want somethign to carry CONCEALED and be comfortable and accurate. I have looked at Tanfoglio, S&W 645, Springfield XD and XD-M, and am open to suggestions. What do YOU carry? Do you ride with it? Go out to eat with it? Are there plenty of holster options for it? Please lend some insight before I make my next big purchase. Thanks

H&K USP Compact. Take it everywhere and use as a duty weapon. Plenty of holsters for it. I use the blackhawk serpa holster

Re: Your opinion?
 

Also, check out the Sig P229, great gun.

I'm pick'n up the Glock 35 for Christmas. Its their .40 practical/tactical gun, same size as a 1911. You know you get a discount on Glock's right? Any Glock you want for $405, Brand New, w/ 3 clips. It's their First Responder/ L.E. Discount Program. Just gota buy it from a Glock Authorized Dealer.

Be sure to check out thir new RTF Grip. It feels like the grip tape on skate boards. You can be in a torential down pour, and the gun ain't coming out your hand

Re: Your opinion?
 

I didn't know about the discount. Good looking out though. And I'll look into the P229

Re: Your opinion?
 

Man I wish I could carry.. MD SUCKS SOMTIMES!!
But if I could I would have my SA 1911 as my main gun & P3AT as a bug .

Re: Your opinion?
 

I don't understand the big deal about 1911's. AND they are $$$$$

Re: Your opinion?
 

I dont know . I guess iv just been into 1911's from the start & I havent found anything that feels so right . The only other gun I have a bunch of experiance with (shot more then just a couple houndred rounds) are the XD's,they are nice & I love the extra rounds but in the end it just doesnt feel right ... I would like to try out more revolvers but I think the 1911 will be my choice for life ... :LOL we will see

I would even like to sell my P3at just to fund a Sig p238!! its pretty much a 1911 in .380 & its not like the P3at has been a bad gun , shes been great Not one issue & with the laser on it Shes a pretty accurate little Bug.

Re: Your opinion?
 

How much for the p3at?

Re: Your opinion?
 

get a walther p99 and call it a day,great little everyday carriers

Re: Your opinion?
 

p.s. i carry mine everywhere i go,it fits in my unertail w/o any trouble,i use a fobus holster for it btw

Re: Your opinion?
 

Glock 27 is my favorite by far! (with the pinky extension, of course!)

Re: Your opinion?
 

What about the 20 or 23? I wanna shoot .40 or 10mm I think...

Re: Your opinion?
 

I used to roll around with a glock .40 on a shoulder holster. Pretty much everyone. Only thing i didnt like is i like to keep one in the chamber and would of prefered something with a safety.

Re: Your opinion?
 

glock 22 full frame .40, hi-cap. mag with the streamlight m6 flashlight/lazer rail attachment. fobus holster. if your gonna carry something, it may as well be big enough to blow nasty style holes in whatever your pointing at. lol

Re: Your opinion?
 

I don't want a full size.

Re: Your opinion?
 

The XD is a nice concealable pistol.

Re: Your opinion?
 

I had a XD45 C and it was amazing. Might try somethign new this time

Re: Your opinion?
 

compact = purse pistol. :nono

You expect me to conceal a large framed service model EVERYDAY? :bs


The only one I've thought about would be a S&W 645. But I carry day in and day out.... EVERYWHERE. I don't want the shadow of a big weapon telling everyone I am packing:2cents

I do. :shruggs and im 6ft and 175 lbs, not a big man by any means. lol its all about finding the holster and position that best fits your body type.

Re: Your opinion?
 

I've been looking at the EAA Witness P Carry. It is a full frame with a compact slide and barrel.

Re: Your opinion?
 

I'm picking up a Sig P229 next week for 400. Too good of a deal to pass on. Only 250 rounds through it.

Re: Your opinion?
 

For you. . .Airsoft gets my vote!

ruger 357
and the ak i ride around with on my back, always bustin in t town

Re: Your opinion?
 

I own the XD 40 compact (4") and have been happy with it. At 5'10" 165 it is a little large for my likes to carry - it gets in the way if it's in my back and anywhere else it is too big for.

Like Tneck said it depends on functionality, what types of activity you have to perform while carrying, you should be looking on a concealed carry forum for more opinions - especialy responsible ones. My next purchase will most likely be a subcompact xd9 for ankle carry.

Still throwing around the idea of going with the real stopping power ... .50 Glock - [url]http://www.guncrafterindustries.com/sneakpreview.shtml[/url]

do they make that conversion for the model 22?

Re: Your opinion?
 

The 50cal conversion will get you in a LOT more legal trouble if ever used...

Re: Your opinion?
 

i dont know if i just cant read( you dont have to tell me i cant spell):nono but a .38 is small and has the power. iv shot a tures(or somthing like that) 40 and it was not accurate you have to be like barrel to the face, 22 cant go wrong with that tho iv seen alot of models that are compact and vey accurate. had a browning 22 pistol could shoot a turd in the wind but moma caught me with that :whoopass:

Re: Your opinion?
 

I am a little more accurate than that. Have a little more experience than that with a weapon and need a little more stopping power. A 22 is a great weapon, I've had a P22 and loved it. Great as a BACKUP weapon. But I need a primary weapon. Thanks though

Re: Your opinion?
 

Are you wanting a. 40 or. 45 bro?

Re: Your opinion?
 

I was kinda wanting a 10mm but a .40 is real close. My XD was a .45. Either will work.

Re: Your opinion?
 

My partner just picked up a Sig P220, It's a. 45. He likes it so far. Now I just gota go pick my Sig up

Sorry but you are far from correct, assuming your CC laws are similar to ours. Lethal force is lethal force. There are no stipulations for caliber when it comes to the law. The same outcome can be had with a .22. If it becomes necessary to use it, which I hope it never does, I want to know an attacker will be stopped from causing their intended harm.

Re: Your opinion?

I can't say for sure but I don't think so.

Agreed... Final outcome=Dead.... Hopefully. But if you do not kill them and are brought to court, they will use the defense that having a regular deadly firearm was not enough for you. You had to go out and purchase a conversion kit to inflict as much damage as possible to the assailant. Same with if someone breaks into your house and you shoot once and kill them, good to go. But if you unload 87 rounds in them, you will have a much harder time getting away with it... :2cents

Re: Your opinion?
 

I carry a S&W m&p in 9 i carry it often and it conceals very well the service from smith is increadable i call them asking to buy a part for my gun because i have worn/broken (never broke a part yet) and they send it to me for free i have 15,000 rounds thru the gun and it is amazingly accurate and performs flawless i am on my 3rd barrel in the gun because of bad ammo but havent paid for one smith gave em to me for free

galco makes a ton of holsters for the inside and outside the waistband

my grandpa has owned one in 40 and 45 both have performed just as well as mine his can consistantly shoot a 3/8th group off a bench at 25yrd from a sandbag

i have also owned an XD9s and XD40 tactical and sot an XD-m9 and the smith outperfors it in accuracy feel and reliability

the M&P also has an amazingly crisp trigger

Re: Your opinion?
 

Thanks... I'll look into that for sure.

Re: Your opinion?
 

in my opinion its the best for all around use i shoot mine in ipsc/uspsa competitions as often as i can and it easily performs just as good as any other gun out there and i would want nothing else in my hand if i needed to defend my or my families lives

You must not have the Castle Doctrine there.

What you are referring to would only apply in a civil case. Find me a case where that was used as the main point of prosecution.

sprigfield xd sub compact 40 s&w great weapon not to expensive
