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

If it happened tomorrow I'd grab my PPQ as it is the most compact pistol I have here.

After that I'd source a Sig P365; that's what gets carried daily when I'm in AZ. Very good compact pistol for EDC use.
 
Walther PPK..... because I'm a James Bond fan !

Surprised at the interest in carrying full size service pistols concealed. I guess we really don't have that many compact options in Canada though.
 
Actually the reliability concerns bring up another point. Maybe the best thing to carry, if that's your concern, is a 6-shot revolver.

Semis ARE complicated, and when they jam, fixing it is complicated. Especially in a stressful situation. You're going to have to cycle the slide, maybe clear a jam, tap the magazine, maybe rack the slide again--making sure not to short cycle it. And hope one of those things fixes whatever the complicated problem is. That is, assuming you remembered to flip off the safety.

With a revolver, if you need to clear a malfunction, you just pull the trigger again. Even if you got a squib most revolvers are built strong enough that the result of pulling the trigger again is TWO rounds go down range (and you get a massive recoil). In the same scenario your autoloader is a pipe bomb and all those complex bits of machinery--extractors, magazines, slides, and such--will be flying off in every direction.

Wow...
 

If we were allowed to have barrels under 106mm here along with concealed carry, then I'd want to go with a PPM and threaded adapter for a suppressor. About a foot long overall, but if one used interrupted threads it could be a quick attach setup with just a 1/4 turn of the can.
