This ought to gain interest . Aka liven the place up a bit!!!
I am trying to decide on a new CC weapon. I am currently looking at the Sig P229 but it isn't exactly small. I admittedly am not up to date on pistols, I am more of a rifleman . I'd like to find a weapon for carry and that can be used as a home protection weapon possibly. If I use the same weapon for both, my wife needs to be able to use the weapon with somewhat ease. I do have a nice Walther .380 she can shoot already though.
I am looking at the Glock line as well as the Sig. With my less than adequate pistol knowledge, I am at a loss when I show up to a gun counter and see 300 pistols. I'd like to find something that is very easy and comfortable to carry, good reliability and quality, and a good value.
I know there are quite a few guys here that have a good knowledge of pistols.....
Really like my Bersa thunder 380, its inexpensive, as reliable as a revolver,
& eats whatever you feed it, including the cheap stuff. I've put at least 600
rds thru it with zero FTL,FTF, or FTE. nice stock sights, too
I will say that after I bought the optional 9rd clip, it became A LOT more balanced
& easier to get on target quickly
just saw an ad about Taurus's new hammerless pocket pistol
might ck it out, designed for CC/small hands, looks interesting enough.......
Guy on YouTube does torture test and burn downs with guns. He burned down a Glock but it took a while. Glock was cooking off and nearly on fire but it kept going. I'm not a Glock fan but that torture test changed my mind. It kept going and going.
He also burned down a two AK's and M4 and AR.
The Russian AK was literally on fire, cooking off and finally quit.
I just got the glock 43 a few months ago and love it. Its the 9mm single stack. It only holds 6+1 but there are mag extenders that will allow you to add up to 2 more rounds. Very comfortable to conceal IWB. I got the alien gear 3.0 IWB holster for it. Only shot about 300 rounds through it but so far no problems and its pretty accurate.
Though I carry a Kahr CW40, I'm with Lite-Liner, I love the Bersa. It is the only weapon that comes to mind that is better than the weapon it copied. It is much lighter, has better sights, a de-cocking safety and is much cheaper than a Walther PPK. For it's intended purpose of self defense (up close and personal) it is plenty of gun that is a hell of a lot more fun (and cheaper) to shoot than my .40.
Just went on S&Ws website....the non-slip grip and grip angle look very comfortable. Im a little out of the loop on new guns...how long has this been on the market for?
S&w m&p 2.0 9compact is my favorite. I installed more favorable grips because I appendix carry and it’s abrasive factory grip was doing a number on my belly even with a tank top .
Also the s&w bodyguard .380acp is a little pocket rocket .
S&W shields are nice and compact as well love those .
Glock 19 or 43 are both very nice but they’re also very heavy hence why I usually choose the smith counterparts . I do own the Glock 19 though.
However the Glock isn’t much more fun than my 2.0 it was twice the price . Do with that what you like . I couldn’t decide so I own many .
Take a look at the Sig P-365 went to a local shop a few months back and held the p365. Liked the feel with all 3 mag designs. Since then I think they came out with a SAS and a XL. May go and check them out soon.
I have a sig p938 thats got probably 700 rds through it. Its my daily carry. Pretty nice little 1911 style gun. Its Small has ambi safety and comes in a bunch of diffrent flavors. Single stack 6+1 or 7+1. Comes in 9mm only but they do make a p238 which is .380. My larger every now and then carry is a p320 compact. Similer to glock 19 size.I personally wouldnt go out and buy any “new” to the market gun because theres usually a few things that need to be taken back to the drawing board.i recommend Tried and true because your life may depend on it.i Also Wouldnt carry a gun without a few hundred rounds through it. Thats just me
Old thread update lol
I bought a Glock 19 but it’s bigger than I liked for concealment, IWB carry. So I bought a S&W Shield 9mm and I like it, no imprint.
But it’s been a couple years and there are a lot of new models, I know there is a nice new SIG model.
