In general the best pistol for carry is the one you like and feel comfortable carrying
DittoI carry a sr9c ruger and love it. Awesome trigger!
I know im going to get both eventually but i need to figure out which one i want to carry so i can start pricing the one and start carrying. my two options are glock 23 gen 4 or a walther ppq. all comments are welcome really having a hard time deciding
Why are you limiting yourself to only those two options?
The answer to "best carry gun" will vary greatly from person to person and almost always requires some trial and error to decide.
Ideally it will be whatever full-sized (or at least allowing a full firing-grip) and reliable pistol you you shoot the best in 9mm or above.
