Biting the bullet....

[bdlesh]

I am thinking of doing something I am not proud of. Now it isn't as bad as getting a 6.5 cm...but close.
I swore I would never own a Glock ( hurts to see the word in my phone) but am thinking of getting one for edc. With thanks shamefully said, there are so many models that all look alike to me. What is everyone else carrying?

Father forgive me because I know not what I'm doing....

I get what you are saying about Glocks. They are well known for being reliable handguns that are simply a great tool for self protection. However, there is absolutely nothing sexy or beautiful about them. I'm sure there will be plenty of good suggestions.

I carry a glock 19. I was in the same boat. Swore I'd never buy one. But at the end of the day, they have a track record od reliability, mags and parts for them are everywhere. So in the end that's what won me over. I got a gen 5 with the front slide serrations

My normal EDC is pretty much anything but a Glock. Go to your favorite big boys store and find a pistol that fits in your hand and feels like it belongs in your hand.

The 19 is a good compact option, but I don't love carrying it. I couldn't find something comfortable that didn't print. If you're not worried about printing it's a good choice. Glock's sub compact options are all pretty bad compared to their competition, so if you want something smaller you'd be better off looking at other brands.

Don't do it!!! Personally I only buy SA/DA hammer down, carry loaded. Pull out, aim and pull the trigger. Not worrying about safety on/of or anything like that

 

[asd9055]

Depending where I am going, I carry a SIG P226 in 9mm, P229 on 40S&W, FNP45 or my "pocket " springfield XDE3.3 9mm
ALL SA/DA carry loaded

Pfffft welcome to the dark side; we have cookies.

Do you know what cartridge you want to use? And what method of carry do you plan on?

Although I prefer my Sig 320 over it, it's still hard to beat the Glock 19. For me it just plain is easy to shoot. It gets on target quick and I changed out the connector and added better sights. I do have a G29 10mm which has pretty close to the same "footprint" but is heavier and thicker.

Got rid of all my glocks but the g20 10mm. After handling and obtaining a few sigs, that killed it for the Glock for me. 365XL shoots better, conceals better, has A much better trigger, and dose not Give a rip if a shooter limp wrists it. I can have my girls shoot the 365XL and it will function flawlessly. I have had glocks that wouldn't function reliably with smaller shooters. I always hated the fact that my normal point of aim was high with the glocks due to the AR style grip. The Sigs point more natural for me. I added a macro grip frame to one 365XL and it is now a 17 round Glock 19 killer. Have heard a few bad reviews from Sig in the past about drop firing but that has been fixed. Really like the p320 xten so far. It's only flaw is the dead trigger finger I get. Compared with a few new shooters a Glock 45, SA hellcat, and a p365xl. They all shot better with and all preferred the sig over the others. They found the Glock trigger and bulk hard to handle, and the hellcat was just that(a hellcat) recoiling twice as much as the same size Sig that it just hurt. I mess around with more handguns than most and I find myself carrying at least one Sig about anywhere I end up. Thats just my opinion but I highly encourage you to try a Sig. I have many friends who have also went the p365xL route.

Added pics. Agree with any of the metallic CZs as well. Here are some comparison pics. A little blurry with Me being sick and shaky. I was too lazy to go get the Glock.

My thoughts as well. The Sig 320X is a great EDC. I also like the P938 or P238 for pocket size or when I want a bit smaller footprint. For pure enjoyment shooting, the P220 Elite is one of my go to's.

I would also suggest looking at the CZ75 or CZ97 lines. Well made hefty steel on one and the other is alloy, no polymer.

Still nothing "wrong" with the G19, just not as well built or feeling.

My first sig. I still own was made in W Germany. They all have to pass the drop test.
the p210, P220, 226, 229, I believe. Are based on the old design by John Browining

I hated glocks till I bought my second one a Glock 29sf 10mm. Goes with me everywhere. I always wear jeans and boots for almost every occasion if nice dress attire is called for it slips inside my ostrich dress cowboy boots and completely hidden. I've carried it in my boots at fairs restaurants and malls. It's just big enough for me it don't fall down on my ankle. My Sig 938 was always digging into my ankle. Plus after shooting a 10mm I see no point in carrying a 9 for anything. Just my opinion. What
