What's Your Next Handgun?

[bjenkins]

I hear you, but I came up with a solution to that problem.

I am fortunate enough right now to say that I have two in the works. Only down side is the time frame that is needed to get them done. I am building myself an all-out custom 2011 for USPSA limited division. I am also ordering the parts right now for a new all-out custom 1911 for USPSA single-stack division.

With the Army going to the Sig P320, I'd imagine there will be more than a few people dumping their Beretta. They'll show up.

Good call! Thanks for the hopeful reminder!

So many choices. So little funding.

Sadly...+1...very well said!

I'm weighing the various single-stack 9mm options. I've been carrying a .380 daily for seven years now, but my wardrobe has recently changed, and so I think I'm ready to add something slightly bigger.

I'm still very happy with my Shield. I put the full Apex trigger kit in it and some Ameriglo sights on it. I have never had a malfunction(knock on wood) and recoil is not an issue. When I go to the range I usually put 30 or so rounds through it just to keep it fresh.

I now carry it OWB since I could not get used to IWB but I still conceal it quite easily.

Keep in mind how opinions work! But right now in the single stack market my vote goes towards the S&W Shield and Walther PPS. Lot of good choices but those two have become my leading choices.

I shot a shield 9 at Indy Arms Co yesterday, was very nice. How is it for pocket carry? Looking at it, LC9S, and G43, the Glock and Ruger seem a bit "smoother" and I'm wondering if they'd be better?

Also I've seen a few internet deals for a Canik TP9sf for under $300, really tempting...

I can't imagine stuffing a Shield in my pocket. But then again the only items that go in my pockets are a money clip and chapstick. And if I'm not wearing a jacket my car key and house key.

That was my though, and I don't wear that tight of jeans/pants. But the sales guys told me it would be no problem (of course). But I feel like pocket carry is pretty much my only option at work where I have to dress business casual.

Would I be better off with an LCP or similar DAO snubby?

That's the situation I've been in. When a tucked-in shirt is required, and concealment is necessary, micro .380 in the pocket is the option I settled on. (I have the Keltec, but the LCP is the same thing.)

Further up the thread, I have narrowed my choice down mostly to the Shield (which I have had a chance to try, as two family members carry them) and the PPS. I really like the PPS in concept, so I'm still looking for an opportunity to see if I like it in reality.

My brother carries a LCR. He says it's the weight that makes it so nice to carry. However, he still carries it in an OWB holster.

Before I switched to OWB I used a N82 IWB holster. I could tuck in my shirt around it and no one knew I was carrying. Now we are going from business casual to allowing nice jeans and nice untucked shirts which makes it easier to carry.

Except that we have a company policy against firearms at work or in our company cars.

I bought my Shield when I owned a full size M&P thinking that it would keep some continuity among pistols. But I ended up selling the full size. I'm keeping my Shield but if I hadn't owned the full size at the time, I would have highly considered the PPS. I like Walther's.

 

[jb1911]

Either an FNS-9 or a CZ P10 C. I haven't decided yet.

 

[bgcatty]

S&W Model 25-3 in 45 Colt with 6" barrel and Cocobolo checkered grips. Heaven!

 

[JJM7288]

Glock 22

 

[ChristianPatriot]

A nice 1911.

 

[DCowboysCR]

Hopefully a Glock 19M if they're released to the public.
