You gotta be joking right, all these guns, and they are all very nice, very nice indeed, but no one has mentioned the best and most powerful ccw gun in existence... shame. Themighty glock 29... you cant beat 10mmm and the g29 does it all. The best without question. Takes down anything on two or four legs, or swims or flies, the g29 will drop it.

I carry and Springfield XD40. i love it. i did a lot of research and went with the xd40. .40 is a great round doesnt have the kick of a 45 and more stopping power then a 9mm. 9mm is okay round not for me though. best advice shoot the gun before you buy it and try shooting all types of rounds.

Really like my “Little Big Gun”, Springfield XDs, tried others like the nano (trigger pull is way too long), miss my Kimber compact though its about 10oz heavier. Shoot great, very little muzzle rise, more push than rise, quite accurate, not picky on ammo, digests most anything. 21oz and 1″ wide, border line pocket pistol. “.45 because shooting twice is just silly”

I carry a Colt 45 New Agent with the trench atop instead of front sight. No snagging. This is my concealed weapon of choice. I also carry a Smith n Wesson 686 4" in my vehicle. I Ali's keep a Taurus Judge at my bedside as my home defense weapon. My son Carey's a GLOCK 23 and loves it. All these pistols are good. I wouldn't knock any of them. It is simply a matter of preference.

AMEN to Jason on his post. Stay safe, practice, and if something does happen, STAY CALM. Watch and pay attention to your surroundings, and your target background. It will not do anyone any good if you clip 6 valley girls while plugging the maniac shooting up the mall.

I too, am a fan of my Taurus PT-111 Millennium PRO 9mm- I carry it in a side hi-riser belt holster. I'm a big guy (6'5" - 300lbs) so It conceals O.K. It Fits great in my hand, and shoots very well. Before that I carried a Ruger P-89 9mm but I found it was just too heavy. But I still love that gun. I also have an AMT .50cal Action Express, but that is usless for urban defense. lol

Alot of people have mentioned some really good firearms. But remember the gun is only as good as the shooter. If you’re gonna carry it concealed then practice shooting it from a concealed holster. Only then you’ll know how reliable your gun is.

Safe shooting.

Dude, the glock blows the xd away, not even close, just like it blows the 1911 away, yea i said it, and the big bad 45 acp too. Kinda funny tho, the millitary ditched the crappy 1911 and the one shot destroyer 45 for what was it??.. oh yea, the 9mm. Lol. If you want power to stop a train get 10mm, its mean. The 45 has nothing on the the 9 and the 40 is pointless, but whatever ya get, if ya want the best, glock all the way. xd sucks. Peace.

Spoke to my local gunsmith (for one of my 1911 pistols) and the conversation went toward CCW. He rec’ed .40S&W or less cal because he has a lot of compact/sub-compact .45 that are “being repaired” or being sent back to mfg. Personally, a .45 in such a small body/short barrel really that accurate? Me personally, I find I am NOT accurate with a barrel less than 3″, revolvers or pistols. I am actually looking at a 3.5-4″ compact 9 as a CCW. BTW, anyone really seen what a 9mm can do in a house? Ask a friendly neighborhood cop…

I think that the good old glock 17 is the best you can have. easy to shoot and very accurate.

My carry gun of choice is the Ruger LC9 Nice and compact, I don't even know it is there. Reliable as well. Over 2000 rounds through it with no issue (knock on wood)

A 5″ 1911 or a .38 snubnose. Sometimes both;especially when I don’t/can’t carry a reload.

I'll second the Steyr M40, takes some getting used too, but nice Pistol. For someone looking for a CCW .45, the Firestar .45 is a good one as well, and it has enough weight so that even smaller people can handle the recoil easily.

S&W Model 469 in 9mm; owned it for 25+ yrs; wonderful small form factor, 12 rnd mag; shoots like velvet. Alloy frame piece with low weight and nice handling. CJ

My Texas carry is a Charter Arms .44 Special Bulldog Pug with the "bobbed" hammer. It is in my front strong side pocket in a pocket holster. Works with Levi's not with Wrangler's (pocket not deep enough). Works with Texas' hot weather, and has never been "outed". What is not to like about concealable .44 caliber?

I retired after 28 years in uniform and plain clothes. I like the 1911 over all, but not concealed. I put a Glock 19 in a holster or front pocket. If in a holster a S&W Mod 60 with LSWHP in my front pocket and feel ready for most problems. I hope I never have to use them!

Ya just never know what I might be carrying....it depends on my mood. But always, always, always you will find my NNA Mini-Mag sleeping peacefully in my pocket. It accompanies either a S&W VE9, or a G19, or a Taurus 66 (.357)or a FEG PA-63.

Ruger LC9 preferred CCW. The best overall package for stopping power, size, weight, concealment. It was made for this purpose alone.

By: JamesB

JamesB — Sat, 27 Oct 2012 19:25:25 +0000

My favorite has been the CZ-75 PCR Compact, all the ergonomics of the CZ-75 in a smaller package that's also lighter due to the alloy construction. The gun is simple to operate and is more accurate then I am (which makes me look good and is essential in a fight)!

I know it doesn't get the attention many other brands do but my Steyr S40-A1 has never failed me at the range, has the fantastic trapezoid sites (yes, there is a learning curve), and is light enough and small enough to be unobtrusive. Everything else I look at carrying seems like too much of a trade off is quality, capacity, or caliber.
