Best Concealed carry Pistol? Discuss

whatever works best for you.

>>33359724
I'm thin, so during the summer, I'll carry a Bodyguard 380, any other time that I'd have thicker cloths on, I'd carry my FNS-9.

There's just so many options for CC that aren't limited to micro guns or even compacts. Plenty of people carry full size, but it all comes down to what works for you and what works for the situation.

Probably a kel-tec p32

Depends on a lot of factors.
Do you live in a warm or cool environment? You may want a larger frame gun of a higher caliber in a cold environment, that can be concealed under a thick coat.
What caliber do you have experience with shooting? If none, 9mm is a good start. It's small, powerful, easy to shoot, and cheap.

There also isn't a "best", more a top tier of guns that will reliably meet your EDC needs that you can choose from.

I've found the glock 43 works best for me.

Fair warning - I'm shill tier for him and I'll tell you why.

I spent weeks trying to find a P30L LEM AIWB kydex holster fitted for a WML - no one offered it, Gabe from KSG reached out to me and straight up took care of me. This rig isn't on his webpage, he worked with me through email to farm my needs and body type, he then built a totally custom 1 off rig at the exact price he sells the standard customs for, and he had the freakin thing to me in a week.

Easily on par with the OWB Raven I used to have for my G19, and no black hole lead time.

Literally my holster maker for life, his website is dicks and he has no SEO for it - but this guy knows what he's doing, he's a shooter and a carrier, I cannot speak enough to the ingenuity and quality of design

I've carried a Px4 Subcompact 9mm for 7 years now. Functions fine, thousands of rounds through it. The problem is that its just too thick for summer carry, so I just bought an LCP II. Its super thin and lightweight. Great for a backup piece or light clothing carry. I plan to get a Sig P238 soon though.

obviously you can see that the madman who did that tried to load one of those purple bullets that paralyze people instead of killing them. They're black market rounds designed by russian agents to take out political enemies and can't be used in normal guns. I bet the guy who did that was a secret agent (probably working for putin and trump) and was practising to put down some undocumented immigrants or democratic party leaders. I hope he died.

Gay and surprisingly big for what it claims to be, plus you can get an lcp for half the price. You'd think that at a higher price point it would atleast have a better trigger or ergos but they don't. The nano's sights are a little better though.. but at 'pocket .380' range, the difference is negligible with a little practice

Tldr
Lcp is smaller, cheaper, and does the exact same thing

Not a bad gun for $250. It's so light that when I carry it, I often have to double check that it's still there, kek.

If I need to dress decently for work, ie. button-ups, no baggy shit, maybe a jacket. What will be the bigger factor in concealability, width or grip height?
I'd like to carry something bigger than a pocket 380 but if nothing else works with the wardrobe then oh well. I was thinking a PPS with a flush mag, but I noticed it's still sort of tall.

Is a makarov actually a good choice compared to modern pistols? I love slavshit, but the weight and round make me think I should just get a Shield.

I remember the time when my buddy tried to CC a 500 S&W. It didnt work out for him.

As for me, I'd say any single stack 9mm that shoots reliably is a'ight. Same with .40

>>33369264

Obviously, it's super easy to conceal and IMO that's the key aspect of concealed carry; if a gun is any kinda hassle to carry, you won't be carrying it when you need it.

But it also sucks to shoot, as despite being a .32ACP, your only holding on to it with your middle finger and thumb, (with the ring and pinky fingers kinda curled under the mag baseplate) your trigger finger gets banged up on the trigger guard.

But that's acceptable, as I can carry a concealed handgun everywhere no matter how I'm dressed and I can do it without looking like a teenage wigger with my shirttails hanging out.

Makarovs are great guns. I own many and they are built like a tank and will out live me. They weigh too much for me to conceal comfortably all day long so I carry a 14 oz plastic Kahr PM9, but I would trust my life to a Mak any day and keep one loaded on my coffee table all the time.

>>33379009
I find them very comfortable shooters. I have small enough hands that I can hold one about the same way I hold a service gun. If your hands are larger, it may be less comfortable for you. They are fairly thick as well, so you will likely need to dress around it more carefully than you would need to for a single stack.
