    What do you carry for your Concealed?

    I have my CCW but I dont have a gun that is small enough to carry.
    What do you all carry?
    I am looking at the Ruger LC9

    Just wanted to get a feeler of what you carry and how you like it.

    Thanks in advance!

    (I will shot and try out most likely before buying)

    Re: What do you carry for your Concealed?

    My mom carries the LC9 and it's a great shooting little gun. Make sure you're ok with a long double-action pull on it though. Some people hate it, some love it. It shoots pretty well for its size IMO.

    I carry a Taurus PT140 Millenium and have an M&P40C on order right now ($219 OTD for a brand new one, I couldn't pass it up).

    I carry an LC9 (has Lasermax for late night no need to aim home defense), hogue rubber grip, and I removed the mag safety so you can fire without the mag in place (this takes 30 mins and is just removing a piece). I'd highly suggest it but it definitely has a loooong trigger pull but that's sort of the point of a defense weapon though DA first shot SA following would be fine by me.

    My daily carry is a Gen 3 Glock 26. I also have a Keltec P11 in 9mm that I carry when the Glock is impractical due to cover restraints. The LC9 is a good gun, but you should fire one before you buy, as the recoil can be pretty snappy(much like my Keltec).

    I'm a big fan of the Springfield XD-S 9MM, there is a .45 also but I feel that's a lot in such a small package.

    I've heard good things about the new Glock 42 which is a 380. I held one a little while ago and it felt nice. Slim and easily concealed.

    I carry an XDM 9c.

    Re: What do you carry for your Concealed?

    I just picked up a Sig P238 to use for CCW and I LOVE IT! I tried about 4/5 different guns before deciding on this one. My friend is selling his bodyguard, if you're interested. It's also a .380 and about the same size.

    Re: What do you carry for your Concealed?

    Depends on which model/color/style you get and if it's in stock. If you go to the model then specifications, it shows down towards the bottom the price.
    Talk to Casey at Grand Prix and see what kind of deal he can get you on one. As far as my friend's bodyguard goes, not sure, but I will ask him. Definitely
    less than the P238 though.

    Re: What do you carry for your Concealed?

    I carry a .380. Ruger LCP with an Uncle George pocket case. Its perfect. Rides just like a wallet. I also carry IWB Springfield Sub-Compact 9 but I feel like im juggling it around too much. Cant sit in the car with it for too long and im always self conscious about other people being able to see it.

    I carry a Glock 30 and I like it a lot.

The laws of necessity, of self- preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property, and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

    Re: What do you carry for your Concealed?

    I have two that I carry for different dress types. I have the XDS 45. easily concealed under hoodies, pull overs, jackets, etc. I carry it at 4 0'clock IWB. When I am in jeans and a t-shirt or shorts I carry a Kahr cw380 in my front pocket with a sticky holster. Don't be too concerned with the caliber. 6rds of .380 on hand is better than 5rds of .45 in the glove box. Some people get a larger caliber and then its not comfortable to carry.

    I have messed around with the new Glock but its about an inch longer overall than the Kahr. If you are looking for a pocket pistol I love the Kahr but if you want a good .380 to carry concealed IWB/OWB that Glock would be a good choice.

    Right now I primarily carry my Kimber Ultra Carry 1911 .45. Hope to add a sig .45 to my collection soon as well
