Well, I just purchased me a new gen 3 Glock 19. And I'm happy as a gopher in soft dirt.

Now ted; CCW Breakaways, THOSE ARE COOL!!  I had no idea there was something out there that slick.   I appreciate the other links, & I shop at Cabela's on occasion, but yeah, the CCW Breakaways in theory appear worth it to me to go with new pants.   Those got me off the SP concept, & I appreciate you hanging in with me.   Oh yeah, looks to be a Glock 26 or 27.  And before seeing the Breakaways, I'd probably do the bigger shirt/owb thing.  It's just that the SP doesn't look that obvious at 1st glance & could be mistaken for a Kindle/iPad mini, etc.  But the Breakaway concept works for me.   Thankew again, sir!

Okay, knowing that iwb is the best way to go, would there happen to be a better alternative to owb besides Sneaky Pete?     So is it either deal with the SP flap or buy bigger pants?   :unsure:   I did check out the above iwb's BTW.   I'd still like to hear from someone that has a SP holster & is good with it or otherwise........

Thankew, neighbor.   :up:

Looking for some feedback on these.  I like the "looks like a cellphone case" concept.  What say ye?

I'd just like Uall's take on this revolver.  The Stainless Standard Bulldog is more within budget though I like the Crimson Bulldog.   Thankew!

I know it's after the fact, but that's a great review on the PPQ. Thankew for posting that, Kano.

Could I get Uall to weigh in on concealed carry holsters for Glock 26's &/or S&W M&P 40c's? Thankew!

I'm talking without experience here which is why I need to get to the range. But FWIW Jonnin, I'm guessing if recoil becomes an issue because I will fire some JHP's to see how it goes, I'm going to be inclined to just try a bigger gun like say a Glock 19 (compact). The compact does fit me better though the sub compact (26/27 & M&P9/40c) handles fine & at this stage a better carry, but who knows? I might decide at that point to move up to the compact. Yeah, I just gotta try 'em. I know I'm still talking plastic or as they say here, "tupperguns", but then for me that boils down to budget. I'm still much the newbie, & the only metal gun I checked out was the CZ. I honestly don't remember if it was in the price range of my other guns of choice. At this point from this VERY helpful thread, I'm definitely going to include compacts in the mix since my opening list showed only sub-compacts. From what I've learned here, my "more" educated guess is a compact 9mm is going to be the ticket. But, we'll see. Thankew, folks!

I've been soaking this all in, then after studying & understanding the abbreviations, this all makes sense now. Like sure, when I head to the range to try the guns out, WWB FMJ's are good enough, but somewhere during the course of the comparison I can see now where it would be wise/right to fire some JHP's thru the gun I'm starting to favor/settle in on as I would want to be able to carry. Long story short, the major issue with me is recoil. So yeah, Uall knew where I was heading as I do need to compare/shop, find the best fit, etc., & WWB's will sure get me started. GREAT stuff, folks. Appreciate the counsel. And sure, if an XD is available to try I will most definitely do so. Thankew!

Much thanks, folks. Was exactly the advice I was looking for. Wally & WWB it is!

Since I'm hoping to be heading to a (indoor) range soon to try out the below guns, my question is what would be the "better" ammo to purchase since I'm just shooting 'em to see what's the best fit, & I don't want to get the whiz bang by golly ammo, but compatible, i.e. gun gets along with a certain type (types, since I'm asking about 9, 40, & 380). Here's my list. Glock 26 Glock 27 Smith M&P 9c Smith M&P 40c Walther PK 380 I appreciate your suggestions!

He can most definitely be a basket case. His name is Bash (short for Sebastian). I'll check out the NAA. I'm leaning toward the PK380, but I'm a long ways from being done "shopping".

Yessir, I'm with you on the P22. Glad you like it. Yeah, I'm really leaning toward the Walther.

FWIW, I have a friend that just purchased both the bodyguard 38 & 380. Didn't say much about the revolver but said that the 380 was a bit of a kicker. If you don't have an issue with that, I'd say go for it, especially with the price drop & the built in laser.
