If concealed carry is allowed starting tomorrow, what pistol do you choose?

[Unregistered_]

Glock 48. Appendix carry with a Glock 48 with a TLR-6 attached is actually very pleasant. Especially since you can get the shield arms 15 round mags that are flush, and carry a 15 rounder with a +5 basepad in a good holster like the T1C axis elite. 36 rounds in a very small and non-printing package that is much slimmer than a regular double stack Glock.

Fantasy EDC? Okay I'll bite.

Well let's assume that feds are gone. All provinces have set up their own state troopers. All relevant parts of the Criminal Code are tossed out permanently. The entire firearms act, all associated regulations and all OIC's pertaining to all weapons are thrown out and the relevant case law is also turfed. Basically buy whatever the hell you want. Licenses are granted on a shall issue basis.

Glock 18C and since we're getting into fantasy? Might as well make it a Gen 5. Safariland 6360 level III holster. Yeah. Lots of crackheads.

Glock 42 for backup.

Camlock 21" baton. Sabre Red 1.33% MC in MK-4 size. These last two are obviously for the douche-bags who are still a problem but not so much of a threat that you have to bust the lead out.

Now if I was going into a really crazy area? Like Jane & Finch or Yonge Street? (not in ON but even I've heard the stories about Toronto)

MP5. Or a P-90.

Switchblade just for the hell of it.


**************************

45 is a poor choice for CCW. Better of with a 40 with a twice the mag capacity.



If you can bang any super model or actress starting tomorrow, who would you choose??

Not sure which ones A) are pro gun or at least neutral about it B) have no chance of giving me the clap C) doesn't have kids D) has hourglass curves that aren't fake E) isn't batsh*t crazy. Yeah I know. My standards are way too high. Back to PH it is!

Glock 17. It's all I got.

Well that ain't a bad choice!

My trusted Glock19 loaded with 147gr Federal Hydrashock

Nice.

Selma Hayek ! Would be the most glorious 30 seconds of my life - 20 seconds, if she moves.

Nah too leftwing nutjob. Well endowed, I'll give ya that much but I just can't.

This is pistol-like, no?

Someone likes Die Hard 2? I approve!

For everyday carry, my proven ‘85 W. German P226 loaded with current 147gr. HST’s would fit the bill. A close second I would add to the rotation would be my tuned for carry BHP. Light clothing summer time carry, my tip up barrel Beretta 86 Cheetah.

View attachment 364386

Where in the hell did you get HST's? me like! You have taste.

I would love to see some of you “CONCEAL” carry some of the guns you’ve mentioned in here! Would be fairly comical I think.

There's a million ways. Hell the Russian Spetsnaz had a specially designed briefcase for the AKS-74U Suchka (people still call it the "Krink" or "Krinkov" for some reason) and there's others for other firearms.

Lol, none, living 55 yrs in Canada, I have never come across a time where I needed to save my life or someone elses. This is Canada, NOT the US. In the US (1997), I had a CCW for NY State, and there I used a Glock 19 when travelling in New York. However, as mentioned, in Canada, I find there is no need to carry, so I wouldn't.

As the victim of 2 vicious assaults that I barely escaped with my life by the skin of my teeth? I could not possibly disagree more. It's not a matter of "IF" it's a matter of "WHEN" and things are only getting worse.

The way it is going you cannot point a finger at someone.

This thread is kinda depressing giving the current situation.

Glock 43 with a 48 slide and carrying a spare Shield Arms mag.. concealable but long slide advantage

Well sh*t! Looks like I'm getting the death sentence then!

Glock 43 with a 48 slide and carrying a spare Shield Arms mag.. concealable but long slide advantage

Glock 48 magazines don't fit in Glock 43 frame

 

[Galt]

Glock 48 magazines don't fit in Glock 43 frame

never said to use 48 mags.. the slide fits and functions perfectly on a 43..That way you get benefit of a full size barrel ballistics and sight radius with the concealable grip of a subcompact.. use the srandard 6 round 43 mags and carry a spare Shield 8 rder.

 

[Gundoggy]

Ah....Shieldarms +2 extension to G43.

I have Pierce +1 baseplates on my G43 magazines. I also tried the G48 slide on G43 frame, very tiny.
Regular G48 frame isn't too big either, I am utterly amazed how slim the gun is, with 15 rounders if you are in USA, in my opinion, it makes many of the 'fat mag' guns obsolete.

I hated Glocks...even customized G19 with grip reduction...until I bought the G43 and G48.

I like the 43.. shot a buddy's a lot down south.. but that short slide is a ##### to get used to.. but with the 48 slide it'd be a lot easier to acquire target.. and not quite as whippy with a bit more weight up front

 

[Lughey]

So long as we are dreaming away, I'd go for a G48 with 15rd aftermarket magazines. Mag limits really are irksome.

Smaller is better.

Here in WA I can legally carry, but I don't very often because I actually feel safe most places around here. But I've tried it, just because you know, rights have a way of disappearing if you don't exercise them.

Well, what I learned is that most guns are just too damn big and heavy. Even guns you think of as smaller, are pretty big and heavy when they are stuck in your waistband. I put my P320 X-Compact (3.6" in barrel) in an IWB holster and tried to get through the day. It's a pretty small gun, but it still manged to jab itself into my rib cage when I tried to sit in a car seat, and it was always sticking into me in uncomfortable ways even just sitting in a regular chair, you kind of have to position yourself so you're not sitting on it or it's pretty uncomfortable. I had it IWB at around 4-5 o'clock. I thought about appendix carry but couldn't quite bring myself to point a loaded gun at the crown jewels.

Walking around with it was better, but it did do a good job of making my pants sag even with a thick gun belt on and even though it's a plastic frame.

If I were really going to carry every day I'd get the smallest gun I could actually shoot. Maybe a P365, or one of the smallest glocks. Something people think of as a pocket gun, but I'd put it in a comfortable IWB holster of some kind.

People worry a lot about printing, but actually your first concern should be comfort, otherwise you won't actually carry it.

Also I think 10 vs 15 rounds is a red herring. Most civilian involved shootings are over in under 6 shots as I undestand it, 10 is already more than you need, and you could carry an extra mag if you were worried about it. Presumably if you really fire off 10 shots you're going to be able to find a moment to reload, and if 10 aren't enough, 15 probably aren't either--so you'll need that extra mag. In other words, I'd be fine with the "limited" capacity of the P365 or whatever the smallest glock is.

dont ever assume how many rounds you may or may not need.

a wise man once said, assumptions will make an ass out of you.

Sure, not going to suggest what YOU need.

For me though the issue is getting a gun that is comfortable enough that it's actually there. Six or ten are better than none.

And I'm against mag limits. While the IWB gun may only have ten, the spare mag may be a 15 or even a 20 rounder, and it's a lot easier to carry an extended mag somewhere in a pocket, or mag holder, than to have that many up the butt IWB.

 

[Prariehopper]

Would have to e my S&W M&P in 9mm... High capacity magazines of course. In my shark fin holster..... Mmmmmmmmm

 

[hank2]

I dont usually get into what ifs but glock 48 for sure, maybe 19

 

[Fixxer]

I would go with my 92fs. Yes its big, yes I would have to dress warmer than normal in July-August. But it's the pistol I can shoot best and I think it outweighs any other factors.

Shoulder holster and a blazer or a jacket. Try that instead. Or you could grab a laptop bag.
