New concealed carry pistol options

[irocwagon 10+ year member]

ive concealed my glock for years,no probs..they only shoot when you pull the trigger..glocks safety is in the trigg..mines been accidentally dropped while chambered doesnt go off..they actually guarantee against this....if you have to draw,do you really want to take the time to take your safety off..i know some can do it upon drawing..its a different story when the shit g...were talking bout your life and possible the life of loved ones

Which model do you carry? How is it with an IWB holster?

i carry a 19 which is a compact model...9mm with 15 rnd mag..dont need that many,but better to have and not need,than need and not have...i have a quick draw holster...

I use a Glock 26 9mm that goes everywhere with me. People these days are so concerned with "high power". How about accuracy? You hit someone center mass 2 shots with a 9mm, game over.

Im on the SIG train.. Get a 226, or 239. I have a 220 and a 239 and love em both.. MUCH better than a bar of soap Glock imo

Why not just carry your fists or a Knife? Thats what a real man does.

Because criminals dont play by rules. Youre not going to be able to fight a man with a firearm, no contest. Knife isnt going to do shit either. Throwing a knife and being accurate is a skill that must be honed over a long period of time. It takes 1 class to get a customer to be able to hit groups of 4-5" in diameter. And youve only got 1 shot, so unless youre Gil Hibben; that probably wont work. Seedubs, as for your choices, id recommend the 36 over the 30 for the reason of width alone. Unless you got some meat hooks on ya, the 30 is just too wide to be comfortable. You lose 4 rounds but in defense shootings, usually 3 rounds is the average fired. As for external safeties, as long as you mind your trigger finger, a Glock will NEVER have an accidental discharge. Glock is boosting that their firearm is a Safe Action Pistol.

Thinking about getting a new CCW firearm. Will most likely be mostly an IWB gun or cargo pocket carry.
I'm debating between:

Glock 30.....10 rnd mag 45 acp

Glock 36.....6 rnd mag 45 acp and sounds like it has had extraction problems

Walther PPS.....6rnd mag 40 s&w and sounds like it had some spring problems in the first gen, but don't know if it rolled over to the new gen

The glocks have a bit more power being 45 acp, but the walther is just so slim.....

I CC an LCP,nice pocket gun loaded with GoldDots.....I have a mag ext so its now 7+1...

The little .380s are super easy to hide and are very light,my buddy CCs a PPS 40,nice gun also

but will not fit in a pocket...but if your into a 45 id check out the SW M&PS,American made and nicer

than a Glock IMO

^This...I have a SIG 229 DAK 9mm (13 rnd mag) and a SIG 239 DAK SAS 9mm...these weapons are no fail, point and shoot and hit every time...combat shooting is the only way to go bro. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif
