First pistol

Lmao

 

Check out Active Self Protection on the Tube. I enjoy his videos. U may even find some info to help u make a decision. I like the way he breaks down videos to point out good and bad habits. Try em out and find what u like and hopefully u never have to use it.

 

I have one of those, there's no way I could CC that monster!

 

You’re going to get at least 20 million opinions. My opinion is go to a range that’ll let you rent some, borrow some more from friends, and get a feel for what you like. No one can make this decision for you. Keep your requirements in mind when evaluating them. Following this advice will save you money and frustration in the long run.


Oh one more thing. There’s no perfect ccw.

 

1911 owners never acknowledge J M Browning had a Better idea in 1935

the ' HI Capacity 9MM !!!!

altho it did take 40 years for it to catch on in the states

best single action trigger ive Ever fired
moderate recoil
accurate

essentially had to wait on munitions to catch up to be effective

 

Include in your research the Smith & Wesson Shield in 9mm. Dependable conceal carry gun.

 

Got two that I carry depending on clothing. Much prefer the HK USP9 over the G26. Thinking the G26 will be replaced with a HK P30sk.

 

Well, when firearms technology from the late 50’s tried to get me killed it was a 1911A1 that kept me alive. Newer isn’t necessarily better

 

Having actually used a P-35 I can tell you that the 9 mm is not as effective. I was enamored of the capacity. But the effectiveness wasn’t there so I went back.

 

When folks are shooting there’s no difference between a “civilian” encounter and a “combat” encounter.

 

Not sure what you're talking about...I gave him my suggestion for a first pistol, the Springfield XD-E. I went into the reasons why I made that recommendation.

The other two pistols were for him since he was considering the Glock 19. They are far better options than a Glock 19 (or any other Glock pistol). You thought the HK and Walther were a lot more expensive than the Glock. I just showed they were competitively priced...well the HK was competitively priced, the Walther was significantly less.

If he wants a "mid-size" striker fired SA pistol, the Walther PPQ if by far the best choice based on performance and price. Guarantee anyone who shoots those three pistols side by side, they will shoot tighter groups with the Walther and/or HK.

 

Interesting technique I found on the interwebs was to pick out a point in space, close your eyes, and aim the weapon at that point with your eyes closed. Open your eyes and see how close you are.

I personally don't like the grip on Glocks. I went with a Springfield Armory XD40 Compact, just felt the best.

 

This^ I have an M&P Shield 9mm. Absolutely love it. I'm a small female, fits in my hands perfectly. Stows in my hip and inside pant holsters perfectly fine even in my tight assed jeans. Had a G23 glock and a SIG 226 40 in the military, hated both. My S&W is lighter (smaller gun so..), cheaper ammo to go play, less recoil, lighter. Anyone saying a 9 wont stop as good as a 40 haven't been shot before, it'll put a hole in ya regardless. Stick some hornadys in it.

 

Sig P320! Mine came with an RMR and they all have serrations in the slide already. Can also quickly change out the frame to make it compact or full size or change the caliber which other guns can't do

Not my first but my favorite. G19 gen 3. Im in california so currently looking for gen 5 off roster.

 

Just as long as you don't mind dodging bullets if its ever dropped....

 

Sig P365
Holds 13, half the size of glock 19
