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. View Quote No ragerts. |

Weekend carry gun is a G26 or G29.
Weekdays in the office are for my P238. There's also a 1911 within close reach off body if need be |

Quoted: 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? View Quote |

Fuck it. Just sling a rifle and a chest rig. Why be undergunned.

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

I like my double stacks but my single stack is so much easier to carry .
Now if I knew ahead of time ... |

26 or 229. Depends on the day.
I like the 26 b/c it takes the 17’s mags. |

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. View Quote Sometimes I carry a G26. Sometimes I carry a .44 Alaskan. Sometimes I carry a G20. But I always carry a G43. |

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. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:
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.

Some of you need to man up. Grandson carries a Glock 21 just fine and he’s just a skinny little 14 year old

Glock 17 with TWO extra 17 round mags,a backup knife,and tourniquet. Too many tweakers where I live anymore.

Yeah, I know you’re little single stack 9mm or .380 is lighter and conceals better and all that. But face it, when you’ve got 15+1 and at least one reload on the belt, you don’t feel as undergunned. Don’t give me any of that .45acp talk, neither. View Quote Review of Para-Ordnance P-14-45 |

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. 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. |
