P320 M17 because it’s what I have.

Realistically though, I’d be happy with any reputable full size 9mm with a handful of mags.

Picking a Glock because “parts and mag availability” is kind of lame in my opinion. Sure, it’s a fine choice, but not for that reason. If S actually HTF, I doubt anybody would be able to realistically wear out parts or mags on a sidearm where that’s a serious concern.

You might need to traverse places that will put extra stress on an open-carried gun.  

Climbing around ruined buildings, wading through a flooded basement, crawling through rocky debris (to avoid detection and/or hunting), bumping against doorways- all of these things can damage and degrade a handgun and mags over time.  

It's not only about how much you might shoot it.

I have over 3k rounds through my SP01 and it's just as reliable as my Glocks. Have you ever experienced these CZ breakages or just read about them.?
View Quote
I used to shoot them competitively, and I own a bunch.  Slide stops will last probably 10-20K rounds depending on what you are shooting, its not really an issue, but it is a failure point.

Trigger springs are a weird one.   They seem to either break at 500 rounds, or you never have issues with them.  Supposedly this has been fixed, but I still don't trust them.

I also hate taking the damn things apart, they are too complicated for what they are and like to shoot springs off into orbit.   There are probably a bunch of sear springs and firing pin stop springs in the carpet in my shop.  

An actual Tennifer finished Glock would be an easy choice for durability over anything else.

I have a CGW Pro kit sitting on my work bench. Debating putting it on, since my gun has run quite well as a bone stock gun.

Its a night and day difference, but take the gun apart in a trash bag, go slow, and be careful.  

I love CZs, but they are not the easiest pistols to deal with.

Shield Plus
or suppressed .22
or Deagle .50 wif beamz

The OP specifies that you have a long gun meaning that the pistol will be a backup/secondary weapon.  In that case I would not default to a full-size pistol and would prefer to carry something lighter and less bulky.

I think you just created a new meme.  Trash bag pistols to go with the trash can rifles.

I'd honestly be ok with a revolver as well.

I don't mind fixing them when they go down but they definitely need a backup moreso than autos imo.

The same Glock 19 I carry every day, along with some 33 rd stick mags in my pack.
If it must be "full size", then Glock 17.3, just because I already have one.

All the weight and extra bulk for something of marginal utility? I guess a P229 or G20 just for the capacity if it was some kind of ad hoc state militia requirement.

Probably wouldn't take either on my own, my P938 would go as a "surprise motherfucker" backup.

@03RN I ended up getting the holster you recommended and it works great. Can’t beat a good .357 Magnum when you have a rifle handy too.

I'm going with my tried and true G19.  I know it's not full size, but I'm either needing it for concealment or don't want the weight when I'm also carrying a rifle.

It's what I know I can shoot.  

If I had a choice and it were a pickup of only full sized guns, then I'll go with a G17.  I want the 19, though.
