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

[45C]

I’d be packing a S&W 686, two Glock 22, and a couple of Snake slayers.
Also like to packing that Kunis chick , from that’s 70 show.. lol

Another vote for Kate.

My competition Shadow is like an extension of my body. Don't care about the weight, and I've worn it for hours at a time. I know it. I trust it.

Glock 19 without a doubt, works for me

A very good choice edgy!
And I’ve seen jimbo shoot. He is as good with that damn CZ as he says he is. Just put donuts in his way and you’ll be ok!

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

Nice gun , good choice

Thanks. A lot of US shooters consider the 3913/3914 as the best, single stack, DA/SA out there.

Ruger SR9 because that's what I have and Taylor Swift because reasons.

 

[Turkinator]

a 3" 686 .357 Magnum

Concealment might be difficult...maybe a really big raincoat?

Walther PPK in .32 ACP.

Bigger pistols are large and heavy and the novelist of carring wears off quickly.

Yep, my choice as well, but in 380.

Small, light, easy to conceal and powerful enough for any up close and personal encounters.

 

[AB.boy]

Glock 17. It's all I got.

It's all you need.

 

[KND]

Glock 19x would be my choice.

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

Huh?? Not in Canada...unless you own some very special mags which hold 20 rounds of 40cal Each....????

 

[A.B.Gun]

I would carry my Smith & Wesson Sd9 with upgraded trigger and springs. Super reliable no safety and eats anything that is run threw it.

 

[NHunter]

Twice eh? That has 8rd mag, plus on in the chamber 9rds. A 40 S&W in Canada be 10 + 1.... I failed grade 10 math but your only getting 2 more rounds.

8..? My Glock 21 mags hold TEN (10)...? so zero advantage going 40...

My HK P7 M13.......all ready to go!

I carried a S&W Model 10, 2 inches, on belt or under arm (butt front, canted), full lead 158 grains round nose and after, 125 grain half jacket ammo, and a Walther QA-90 on belt, 124 grain, hollow point, full jacketed ammo.
You have to consider altogether a form of carrying comfort and "packed wallop" since it is a personal defense mean and not offensive, meant to stop any threat to you immediately.
You will carry under ample clothing during hot summer time or heavy clothing during winter.
The access of the gun will have to be easy and fast....your call on the holster you will use.
The combo above offers , in my opinion, the best of both worlds, with a heavy hollow point ammo.
Just for the discussion, one of my men shot a man at 7 yards distance; the bullet, 158 grains, 38 special half jacket, hit (front to rear) the shoulder plate and exited under it, that means the suspect absorbed the full schock of the impact.
I asked my man if the suspect still was a threat and he answered yes.
I measured the projectile : opened to 10mm.
So a minor mushrooming at the best distance and a maximum schock when a flat bone was hit.
Hence, the importance of the ammo you will use.

629 in 4.2"...because my .22's are too small and I have nothing in between ( otherwise it would have been one of the Glock 21's i had back then)

My nickel-plated sissy pistol:

Absolutely beautiful piece!!
