What's wrong with the one you already have? Or just looking for something new?

Just carry a fly swatter if you are that big

@ jeremy1066, mainly looking for something newer, maybe a little more comfortable to carry, tad bit more compact. @indy1911 the thought has crossed my mind on more than one occasion

 

[Jeremy1066]

What do you have now? A G22 or G23? If so, and you like the gun you already have, a G27 subcpact .40 might fit your needs.

 

[Hehman]

I have a gen 2 g22. i was thinking maybe something along the lines of like a g17 or a subcompact 9mm. given the fact if its comfy in my hand

 

[Leggdpms]

Gen 3 glock 23

 

[Hehman]

im not questioning your opinion leggdpms, but why a 23?

1911 Government Model. You can hide it fine. 1911 Compact if you must. P228. CZ75 Compact.

 

[Hehman]

whats a ball park estimate on any of those.

^ now youre talking

A Glock 23 sounds like a good fit for you. It is more compact and you could use your G22 magazines in it.

 

[spray73]

G23 or G27 if you're dead set on sticking to Glock. I just cannot get comfortable with that frame.. My next cc will be a Sig more than likely.. Or another M&P. Fell in love with a P229 today. But I'm looking to keep in the. 40 range as that's what I already have.

Look into the other plastic guns as well. Lots of people are loving the smith m&p, the Springfield Dx/m, Walther ppq, heckler usp. All are right up there with glock on reliability.

I'd go to a gun show or a lgs and fondle a few. Pick whichever you like best. Lots of great choices are out there for you these days, and it's almost hard to go wrong (although there are still some turds out there).

A Glock 19 is smaller than your G22 and holds 16 rounds of 9mm. Very comfortable carry weapon.

I'm five nine and pushing three hundred pounds. I carry a SR40c almost everyday. It's not to big, but it's not too small. Just perfect for me. I think the perfect holster for you will make more of a difference than the actual gun. I switched from a crossbreed supertuck to a white hat holster max tuck. Night and day difference.

A Glock 23 sounds like a good fit for you. It is more compact and you could use your G22 magazines in it.

^^^ This or a 27 if you want to go smaller yet.

As mentioned, these choices maintain your ammo compatibility, downward magazine compatibility, and manual of arms - if such things are important to you.

Just read this thread, and I'm sorry, but this is the only thing that comes to mind....
