lookin at diff guns to buy as a conceiled carry gun. I want power, but also enough rounds, and also a decent size so that someone doesn't go "OMG that dude's got a gun!"

Also lookin at a P225/6

recommendations for CC guns?

 

.45 cal, right? I never was a big fan of large cartridges in small frames.

Maybe try a Glock 29, 10mm auto sub-compact.



EDIT: The Sig only holds six rounds? That's pathetic. The Glock holds ten, the legal max for new-production mags.:naughty:

 

How bout a 1911 compact?

 

10mm auto .... ? never heard of anything like that.


I'm either gonna go 9 mm, or 45. Since military uses 9mm, I would have easy access to rounds, and if i don't go 9mm, i'd want .45

any other suggestions?

 

a .50 desert eagle :naughty:

 

Go for the .9 over the .45, more accurate and reliable! Who cares if a .45 is larger caliber...We talked about shot placement in the POST PICS OF UR WEAPON thread. .9mm > .45

 

I prefer 9x19mm to anything, I just asumed you were looking for bigger. The 10mm auto is uncommon, but is on par with the .40 S&W, maybe a little more powerful. I like it.

 

looin at the 1911, i like the Kimber 1911 compact... other opinions on it? I can't find any prices for that gun though

 

Well, it's a 1911. It's outdated.

I hate the grip safety on 1911 pattern pistols. If the Kimber doesn't have that, it wouldn't be so bad.
Figure high 6's to mid 7's, judging by the listings on gunsamerica.com

 

i've had several glocks in different calibers & different frame sizes. like you said about wanting power without it being obvious you have a gun, i prefer the "baby" glocks for maximum firepower & concealability. allround recommendation from me would be a model 23 :thumbup:

model # / caliber / frame size of glocks i've had/have:

19 / 9mm / medium frame
26 / 9mm / sub-compact

20 / 10mm / fullsize frame

33 / .357sig / sub-compact (.357sig is basically a .40 brass necked-down to a 9mm bullet like a rifle cartridge. you get the gunpowder necessary to push a .40 but only pushing a 9mm, so muzzle velocity is like .357sig is supposed to be the closest thing to a .45) http://www.chuckhawks.com/357sig.htm

27 / .40 / sub-compact
23 / .40 / medium frame

30 / .45 / sub-compact

i currently own the model 27 & model 33.

i also have a .357magnum revolver that is in the car @ all times between the seat & center console ready to go.

if i was gonna go back to the .45 i would probably go w/ a kimber, but that is because i have smaller hands & just can't get my grip fully on a glock because of the double-stack magazines girth.

glock makes a "slim-line" .45 model # 36, but i have yet to get my hands on one :naughty:
