Carrying something is better than carrying nothing. If I want to carry, I must be able to absolutely conceal it. I cannot conceal a double stack anything any more than I could conceal an AR pistol. I carry a p938. No ragerts. |

I’m limited to 10 round mags. S&W Shield 9. Mag-Guts +2 kits. The 7 and 8 round mags that came with the gun are now 9 and 10. 9+1 + 10 = 20 rounds on tap |

Quote HistoryQuoted: G26 is lighter (196 grams), smaller (14mm in length, 7mm in height), has less recoil, and has the same capacity. G19 is only slightly bigger (8mm in length, 15mm in height) and still weighs less (55 grams) with less recoil and a 33% increase in capacity. With this in mind, what advantages do you perceive a subcompact 10mm to have for self defense? |

G26 with a g19 mag and X-grip, fits my hand perfect.
Feels much better than a g19. Plus reloads. |

LOL, the gun you can most accurately shoot with and carry on your person with ease is the gun you should be carrying.(assuming quality in the firearm) I tend to agree more rounds is more betterer. Blanket statements do not work though. Sometimes I carry a G26. Sometimes I carry a .44 Alaskan. Sometimes I carry a G20. But I always carry a G43.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Like you said, if you're choosing based on Risk assessment and the "extremely slim" chance, then why carry at all... You say you also choose for comfort, which is a different criteria then risk. Carrying a gun is like insurance, no one carries a cheap home owners or vehicle policy, even thought the chances are slim you will need it...but for that once in a lifetime event, you're sure glad you did not cheap out on your policy. That's my thought on it, I will most likely never need to draw and fire to defend myself or my family, but in the event I do, I want something that I can not only fight with, but win... and a tiny little single stack that I can barely get my hands around, that I can barely hit a target with past 10 yds, that has 6-8 rds of something less then a 147 gr 9mm is a poor choice., just so that you can say you carry. If your being intellectually honest, don't bother to carry, the odds are still way in your favor... and you don't need to have any discomfort. And the fact that I can carry a G19 in shorts and a T-short, why would I want to carry less, oh yeah, I forgot, comfort....not Risk. Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted: ITT carrying a single stack 9mm = not carrying at all. LOL. Ok seriously though, it's simple risk assessment. The chances of needing a gun at all are extremely slim- but most of us carry anyway, just in case. The chances of needing a ton of ammo is even slimmer. A lot of people choose whether or not to carry based on comfort, so for many the choice is between being comfortable or not carrying at all. In this case, a single stack 9mm is a good choice. It's all about what level of risk you're willing to accept. For me, I'm willing to accept the risk of carrying a single stack 9mm most of the time. Carrying a gun is like insurance, no one carries a cheap home owners or vehicle policy, even thought the chances are slim you will need it...but for that once in a lifetime event, you're sure glad you did not cheap out on your policy.

Why carry at all then?? Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
Meh.. most of us. I just do not spend that much time in, around or near locations where a significant threat is much of a concern. Single stack fits my desired comfort level. Not worrying about events I have no control over. If my work placed me in the hood or some other more likely locations for problems then I would double stack.  because people that actually use reason. know that there are many factors that come into concealed Weapon Cary. Not just basement dreaming of a senerio where you walk around like A concrete commando whishing to be tested.
An option to be used “if” the opertuniety to use it becomes available and/or nessassary for protection. Based on a reasonable accessment of likely threats given your particular interactions with the outside world. By your thinking everyone should carry as much ammo as they physically can and 2 backup guns. The statement inferring that to carry anything less than your basement accessement of what is needed is somehow akin to not carrying at all is fuckin retarded. I feel dummer for even responding ! |

I don't think I'm crazy for seriously considering getting a commander sized 1911 in 9mm for carry.
Sure, it's single stack, but 9+1 isn't a terrible capacity. Plus, I'm much more accurate with a 1911 than my g19 or vp9. |
