Looking for ideas on a new CC pistol

@RevolverRob your 'Pick is showing.

Rookie move, dude. Rookie move.

Let's drill down a bit. What are you trying to accomplish? Do you just want "different" or is there some problem you're trying to solve? If your goal is to be as good as you can be, pick one platform and stick with it. If you want to collect or have a new shiny play-toy buy whatever catches your eye. Can you deactivate the safety 100% of the time when under extreme stress, possibly being grappled, and possibly injured? If you're willing to bet your life that the answer is 'yes' get something with a thumb safety. If that's not a wager you're willing to accept, get away from thumb safeties and go with a TDA or striker fired gun.

Well, after all the information that’s been talked about in this thread and how it’s kind of gone back to that other thread I made about carrying options, if the longer shirt idea will help to conceal, that would be great if I could conceal carry one of my storms in that black Italian leather pancake holster of mine that says Beretta on it because to me with the way I have it set up, that’s the next best thing as far as I’m concerned about having what I currently carry right now, even without a safety on it.

The Storms don’t have safeties anymore, but their initial double action pull of the trigger in my opinion is much safer than a trigger safety. That’s why I’m liking that Springfield XD because it sounds like it’s the closest to that.

As far as why I wouldn’t want one, any semi-auto I can fit in a pocket isn’t going to shoot well enough for me to be satisfied with. The Shield is as small as I can go and not feel like I might as well hold the gun with chopsticks.

I can respect that.

I like the Walther p99 a lot, my favorite 9mm overall.
There is a c model as well if G19 size is too large. Good DA/SA pistols when you can find them. Lightweight, thin for double stack mags, extremely reliable, durable, top level QC, accurate. Can lead you down the road of getting comfortable with striker-fired actions and opening up future options.

Well, I had to start wearing it out in the open, because when I appendix carry, it tends to contort the handle out and makes it look like I'm uhh...happy to see folks.

But ya know, if people stopped staring at my junk, this wouldn't be a problem. I understand though, I too admire my crotch.

If you find that everyone on this forum is an asshole except you, I guarantee there are other forums where you'll feel more at home.

Excuse me? Where did this come from? I never said anybody was an asshole.

I don’t like to assume but what, just because I just openly placed two people on ignore for thinking I’m only here to troll and that the other one thinks everyone of my posts are troll posts? I’m in asshole for doing that even though there’s been two other people who has openly placed me on ignore for nothing that I’ve done to them?

I just don’t get the mentality of some people.

Agreed, the P99c AS is a great gun. My sample has gone 3900 rounds with a single FTEj because I was intentionally feeding it shitty Remington 115gr. Part of me wishes this was a more popular platform.

This thread has got to be an elaborate troll post.

It's like being haunted by the ghost of Doodie Project.

A good belt and good IWB holster can make a service sized gun disappear, even under a t-shirt. I've done it with a Glock 19 and a Colt 1911.

Wear a Columbia style button up fishing shirt, and a full size Beretta 92 is easily hidden.

In this picture, I'm concealing an HK P30 (roughly same size a PX4 storm), with a tucked in t-shirt. I'm 5'7" and 200 pounds. The red circle is the tiniest bit of the gun you can see and it's almost covered by my too-many-tacos belly.

Holster was a Cherries Deep Concealment, belt is a Graith Specialist.

The gun is only part of the problem as my amigo @Guerrero was suggesting.

Pardon my staring at your junk but this is impressive concealment if that's really a full P30.

If the original poster is genuinely serious, I'll echo the responses that specify a quality holster, a quality belt, and a decent, viable concealment garment-be it shirt, vest, jacket, polo, burka, whatever.

While there are some circumstances that'll drive the size of the weapon carried, generally I've found that quality holsters, belts, etc. easily facilitate carrying a Glock G21 or a Beretta 92. It's not that tough. I prefer having a decent-enough sized handgun that I can access and use effectively. I have yet to be sufficiently moved by any of the existing sub/sub-sub compact firearms to be swayed from this position.

Best, Jon
