Would like to hear from those of you who have concealed carry as to what the best pistols are and where to buy them. Don't want to spend more than $500 for a gun.

Sig P365, Springfield Hellcat

Look for a Reddit thread called Gundeals
Keep an eye on it all day everyday and be ready to jump on the deals immediately, dont wait, normally sell out quickly

It doesn’t matter what the best gun is if it doesn’t fit well in your hand and feel comfy and natural, you want wanna carry it or get accustomed to it. Same goes for a holster...

My choice is the Springfield XDM with a little modifications to my liking, nothing big. Fits my hand like it was meant to be...

My girl prefers a small revolver, so hers is a S&W Airweight .38. Love that thing myself too.

I carry a 38. I have a conceal carry permit and always carry everywhere it is legal to do so.

Guess me and ole girl are naturals then...

The XD and XDM are ridiculously accurate for what they are. So is the Airweight 38 (highly surprising) considering the length of the barrel and it will fit in your palm. she passed the CWP class with it, 50 for 50...

Carry on, no pun intended...

That sucks. You should move to a non-communist state.

There are a few of us states out there. Don't even need a permit to carry. Yeah. It's crazy. But it's America. Still. For a bit longer anyway.

9mm SW Shield. Wife has a 9mm shield EZ. Also keep a 380 between seat and console in my truck. Problem with that caliber is you better be ready to whip some ass after you shoot.....cause its gonna piss the POS you were shooting at off.

Difficult to carry, but if you can manage, the Governor by Smith & Wesson will allow you to take out multiple fools at once.

Just what you need with these days with thugs running in packs
