Thought exercise -- EDC/field/training pistol for you and 50 friends

[GJM]

So here is the exercise. Pick one pistol set-up that will cover you for EDC (concealed), for field use in all weather, and to train with. Here is the wrinkle -- that same pistol set-up needs to be suitable for the same uses as your pistol for fifty of your friends, and you need to set all the pistols up. Extra credit if the pistols are likely to run reliably out of the box and as accessorized, and you don't need to get a home equity loan to pay for each one.

This idea came about because I have been shooting a pistol the last few days that fits these criteria perfectly, and was simple enough I could set up dozens of duplicates with a minimum of fuss.

That is funny as I could swear I put it in semi auto pistols -- must be one of those Freudian slips. Dive on in, even if it doesn't have a dot!

Want this thread moved?

Or can we say Glock 19 and close it out?

If not too loose an answer, I'd go with the user-preferred variants of the P365 and Holosun enclosed emitter red dot.

I know many would (with good reason) prefer the G19.5 w/enclosed red dot, but I, and several friends, find the G19 either a bit fat for smallish hands/stubby fingers, and/or it's tougher to conceal in much of some folks' everyday attire.

P30sk V3s would be my submission. How'd I do?

I personally would not trust 50 Glocks to run out of the box. But that's me.

Glock 26. SCD. Real sights - Ameriglo, Trijicon, factory night sights, whatever - something steel with glow in the dark dot(s). JMCK IWB#3 or similar from Dark Star or something. 2 each 10 round, 12 round, and 15 round magazines. Case or three of ball. 200 HSTs. Done.

How experienced are my 50 friends? I start running out of real gun folk-friends less than halfway in, and that starts changing me up real quick.

Gun friends- G19.5 or Sig Macros with either SCDs(Glocks) or thumb safties(Sigs) wearing EPS w/ TLR8ag.

Non-gun friends - LTT P30s or 92s, EPS, no light/lasers.

Absolute stranger incompetents whom I must lead- S&W Shield EZ9s, no thumb safeties, with TLR8ag.

My very first thought. But I am biased... and wearing an RMR'd G19.5 AIWB right now.
