Spend my money - need a thin ccw.

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Spend my money - need a thin ccw. (Page 1 of 3)

Posted: 11/19/2016 7:41:59 PM EDT

I need a smaller ccw for when the G19/G17 won't cut it.

I don't like pocket carry so it's going to be iwb.

Attire: suit or slacks and a blazer, also will double as summer carry.

I've owned a G43 but couldn't shoot it worth a shit. But I'm open to try again.

The list so far to review is as follows:

G43
Shield 9mm
Shield 45acp
Walter PPS
XDS 9mm
XDS 45acp
Nano 9mm
Sig 290rs

What do I need to get ?

I would pick the thinnest one of those you listed.

Had one of those too.

Too small for iwb. Great for pocket carry.

But I don't want to pocket carry

Of what you listed the XDS 9MM would be my choice First CCW was an XD 40 subcompact. Great gun!

Shield sounds perfect for you. I've owned one since the day they came out and still carry it, I'm lucky it has suited me well this whole time.

Why couldn't you shoot your G43 well?

Of all the ones you didn't list, I suggest a no lock S&W 642 in a FIST K4.

I'd get a shield since they can be found for around 330. I loved mine before I switched to a G19.

I like my Khar, but its not on your list. If i could do it again, i would only buy full size.

People gonna laugh but I really liked my old school Kahr CW9 I carried way back in 07. It's probably the "thinnest feeling" single stack I've carried.

LC9s Pro, or if you want one of the most INSANE short reset triggers you'll feel that makes double taps seem automatic, check out the Bersa BP9cc. Serialized trigger frame like the Sig P320 with replacement grip frames, Glock rear sight Sig front. Bout the same size as the Shield but you can get your pinky on it and more capacity.

Eta: Just clean the striker channel before first use. They use a protectant preservative.

Here is a comparison shot to give you a general idea for profile thickness....les baer 1911 5" Govt in custom IWB....Glock 19 in MTAC IWB....S&W shield in crossbreed

Shield of XDs. I carry both. The Shield is thinner than the XDS and actually feels better in had to me.

toss up between the shield and the 43.

I prefer the full size M&P so i went shield

Glock 42?

Dude, my Walther CCP is a winner. If you can find one to try, I would bet money you would buy one.

I've had a 642 as well.

Not sure why I didn't shoot the 43 well.

I'm a decent shot when behind the 19/17.
