I think this is a trick question you know there's no perfect weapon . It's a personal choice . It's what works best for you 😁 . Thanks for all you do and I hope you feel good about whatever you decide
I carry a glock 26 in a fobus holster. It is comfortable and a smaller than the blackhawk paddle. Bought one for my sig 226. Low profile and holds it very well. I now carry both and you can't see any profile. I like my sig 226. All steele and qualify every yr with it.
My P365XL has a 4.5 lb trigger pull and my G43X has a 4 lb trigger pull. I did have a G43 back in 2017 but my daughter got that one. I never checked the trigger pull on it. But all I did was shoot them, clean them and a light polish on the contact points. My G43X had a 5.5 pull out the box. A good cleaning and it was 5 lbs. After 500 rounds and the light polish, it was 4. My G19 had a 6.5 out the box. My G26 had a 6.8 out the box. The P365XL was 6 lbs out the box. And also, after 500 rounds and a light polish, it’s holding a steady 4.5. I sold the G26. The G19 is my toy gun, never carry it anymore. It has a 3 lb pull after some work. I don’t swap out parts on my carry gun. I’ll work on them some, but like to keep them stock. One less thing to worry about should I ever have to use it. Good video here!
The new P365XL is AWESOME. The P365 was too small and it would cant out on my hip. Appendix carry was fine. But I hate depending on a mag extension for my pinky. Which was why I sold the P365 and got the XL. I also got the G43X too. Aaaannnnd...It is my favorite of all Glocks ever! I actually carry both most days, but the G43X is my go too most days.
Vizion Omega Bronzeman right on, and eats almost all 9mm ammo. Now there are plenty of; magazines, sights, holsters, barrels, etc. it’s a righteous weapon.
I like the taurus g2c. Good capacity, carries very slim, and doesnt break the bank on initial purchase or on accessories and magazines. Lots of rounds fired and no problems.
What to carry? The one you are most proficient with. I have three in my EDC rotation, P365 XL, .40 Shield, and SA 1911 A1 45 acp. Mostly carried the 45 because I shot it the best. Then I got the XL last December, and it turns out I shoot that better than the other two. Really like everything about it - footprint, capacity, recoil, sights - and its optics ready.
I've been really enjoying my Springfield Hellcat ... flush mag holds 11 + 1 in a 9mm, Extended mag 13 + 1 ... about 800 rounds so far, and zero issues.... small, lightweight and very comfortable to carry iwb.
(Glock 48), (CZ P10) (FN 509 compact) (Sig Sauer P320 compact 45) that's my rotation for concealed carry! Love your videos! Test Federal HST 9mm 147 grain, HST. 40 180 grain and HST 45 230 grain! See which one travels the furthest! I know the 45 is the biggest! Yeah do a three caliber test compact! Thanks!
I'm a big .45acp and S&W fan so... But I would recommend the regular Sig P365, since they've work out most of the problems, for most concealed carriers, the capacity is definitely a bonus. Good comparison video!👍👍
I have a 365 not the XL. I like it a lot. It may someday replace lits of other guns I have. I also carry Shields both 9 & 45. Carry a 26 too. Seldom carry my 19 anymore. Mostly Shield 9 and P365 and the Sig is gaining fast.
I got the P365 with the safety and broke it in and it's carried now more than anything. I reccomend shooting about three hundred to five hundred rounds out of it to get used to it. It's a tiny thing. I haven't had any issue's with mine.
If youmare looking for ccw pistol, how about drawing from your holster and not from a low ready condition. We don't walk around with a pistol in that manner. Drawing from holsters will increase the time but is more true to actual usage.
LA TEEZI I upgraded mine with an Apex flat trigger and put a lighter spring in the back of the gun ( forgot the name, after the transfer bar) for almost nothing. It made it even better, and it holds 15 rounds for not such a big footprint.
I just so enjoy how you are ok with being everyday. Your always honest with yourself and us. I so enjoy your channel for just the fact your always honest and humble . Thanks 😁
Glock 19. accessories and parts, are readily available many after market options, common caliber 9 mm, dependable, 15 rds, also takes 17 mags and extended 32 rd mags, almost every cop has ammo and mags for it. The Kel Tec Sub 2000 takes the same mags and is small and light,
If the first accurate shot is most important for you, then keep carrying the shield 45. It was your best shooter and is a great round. 45 is also less likely to over penetrate in a crowded church. I know you’re already buying the p365 right now though. Still a good choice. I wonder why not consider a hammer fired pistol for concealed carry though? The PX4 Storm has a fixed barrel like the Walther CCP. I carry a H&K P30 which I got from Bud’s Gun Shop for the price of a Glock. Mine’s 40 cal though. I love it and it conceals very well using a holster with a wing to keep the grip in tight. Fun video. Enjoy your new P365!
I have zero work with any of these guns except the P365 XL. I'm a CZ guy and routinely carry a CZ P10S or a P10C. I did shoot an instructor's P365XL at a class of Chris Cerino's for fun at a steel target at 50 yards in the rain and hit 2 out of 4 shots (12 x 12 target) and was impressed. I don't at all like the standard P365, but the XL has my attention.
P 365 is awesome comes with night sights and a great trigger. Feels like in terms of a tiny gun it’s made for me. Only way to know is shooting them all I like the 365 then the shield then the 43 because of the tiny grip on the 43 but that’s just me
I love my Walther PPS, it shoots GREAT and gives me the best groups. However, I carry the SIG P365 with 10 rounds and a spare 15 round mag. Take it to the range with two 10 round mags and two 15 round mags and that's a box of ammo. My SIG is new but I've had zero issues with only 250 rounds through it. Feels good, grip is good, sights are good, concealment is good, capacity is good, trigger is good, build quality is good. I think there are better pistols for different categories, but I don't think there's a better pistol considering all categories. Sig P365 and it's not even close.
Of the choices here I'd probably go Sig for shoot ability and rnd count. Walthers are nice, I have a PPS M2 that shoots extremely well also. You may consider one to try. My go to is a P365 and my PPS for conceal ability, I live in S. Georgia where there is allot of T-shirt weather and shorts.
Love my Glock 26. I also own and carry a Shield 9mm. I like having 10+1 with my 26 though. And I carry in a holster from KSG Armory that allows me to carry quite comfortably. Thanks for the video. Good stuff..
I was a m&p shield guy for years picked up a sig p-365xl and wow I can’t believe how well it shoots and it carries so good and you don’t have to put nite sights on it like a glock.
I'd stick with the 45 Shield. You seem more proficient with it than any of the other guns. Caliber and capacity are overrated but speed and accuracy aren't. Like they say slow is smooth and smooth is fast. When I shoot my Glock 30S it slows me down just a little bit which tends to get me better results. That said try 147s in the Glock 43 I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. The Glock 43 and shield are 6 +1 are you realistically going to have a problem that you can't solve with 7 rounds but you can with 8, 9, or 10? Realistically a 5 shot revolver is probably going to have enough capacity to solve 99% or legitimate concealed carry shootings (there are of course situations that are outliers). I'm not saying don't carry a higher capacity firearm, just that capacity isn't as important as other factors.
I have a ppq walther m2 9 mm Short trigger rest and great accurat . I only shot it 50 rounds and didnt bench rest first. 2 in groups at ten yards so far. Need adj the rear sight a hair. Sporting 6 o'clock hold on the in bullseye. Which means im just shooting just under the button of the center of the dead centers. Very accurate out the of BOX. Cleansed it first like every new gun i owned. Love it.
Thoroughly enjoyed that. Thanks for bringing us along. 365XL has a lot going for it. Considering it myself. But I have in our family edc 3 Shield 45s, M&P40 full size 2.0 & an M&P40c 1.0....a Shield9 1.0 as well as a Ruger American Compact 9mm. The 365XL has same round count as many of the Subcompact 9mms at 12 and is thinner. If I were you, I would take a serious look at the PPQ sub. Also the S&W M&P 2.0 Subcompact. This affords you good capacity with even higher capacity mag options. Of course Glock has had this for many years. G26 is still an option if you are good with Glocks. Thanks
Only shot one of the specific models mentioned. Several hundred through it. I trust my xl. I trust it so much WPS says to not be a collector, I'm contemplating that thought.
If I could change one thing in my life it would be this concept. I have started to correct this by buying 3 shields. One mag to stock, different holsters for each, one caliber. I should start selling some of the random pistols I have.
I had completely forgotten about the CCP because it had required a dingus. Turns out that they have retrofitted this pistol with the M2 release. It uses a delayed blowback system with a pistol that softens the recoil. Additionally it has a fixed barrel that aids in a very accurate grouping. It’s very similar to the H&K P7 that sells for about 3500 dollars. You have a winner with the CCP pistol for 400 dollars. It’s one of the best kept secrets.
Any of those pistols would ruin a bad guy's day. Out of the ones in your video, I like the .45 Shield. Shoots very well with plenty of power to stop the threat. Carries very well also.
Ok, I carry a 45 and I'm a guy with small hands, I carry my Glock 36 (Single Stack 45) and may be fine with your gloves My wife has a Sig938, much smaller and maybe the BEST ever made (Law Enforcement ONLY now in our state) I also carry a Backup for Closeup actions and I love it, it is a SeeCamp 32, and I had no issue in the qualifying to carry it
I’m going to throw a wrench in your plans but since you’re already a Glock guy and have the most muscle memory built in there I’d go with the Glock 43x or Glock 48. If you’re absolutely stuck on something new then certainly give the P365XL a go.
The best carry gun for me is the Walther PPS M2 LE , magazines are 6,7 & 8 rounds plus 1. I bought an extra 8 round. I am into year 3 with PPS. It will be the same hold as CCP but striker fired. Speed and accurate.
It depends... If I'm in a city- SCCY CPX-2.... If I'm in the woods Glock19.... The SCCY is small and double action (and compared to the Glock, I don't like shooting it)... The Glock holds more rounds and I can effectively use +P Ammunition... (I got the Glock for bears and other 4 legged creatures).... If SHTF I'm using a rifle!
Ive carried a G26 for years with a 17 for brief times of LE work, so use 17 mags as spare carry ones. Works for me. The shorter grip of the 26 is no drawback as some feel. I believe it induces more bad groups than it helps as the longer grip add to things like milking the grip, trigger fear/flinch and all the things folks claim about it. If I was younger and not so invested in Glocks I might change, might have to some day due to old age and infirmatives. There is truth behind the old adage....beware the man with one gun.. Thanks for great videos !
Feel in the hand is the first consideration. If it doesn't feel natural the pistol won't shoot. Middle finger tip ought to land somewhere in alignment with the thumb nail.
Humm, where is the Glock 26 with Magpul PMAG 12 GL9 12 round magazine? 12 rounds, very concealable and you can have a 17 or 15 round backup Glock magazine. If slim is more your style, Shield Arms S15 offer 15 rounds in a Glock 43x or 48. It is essentially a Glock 19 slim. I still prefer G26 for compatibility upto (insert your round count here) magazines.
Walther's are probably the best guns i've ever owned. Best grips, best triggers, only downside is that I don't think they come with night sights from the factory, which means literally nothing considering they are $100 cheaper than competitors and FAR superior.
Right now I’m back and forth between a 365xl with a true precision threaded barrel, and a glock 48 with the shield arms 15 round mags. Once I get the holosun k that premiered at shot show, I’ll probably be exclusive to the sig.
Sig P365 or 365XL will do the job. I carry a P365 daily and have a few thousand rounds thru it with several hours of training. All I can say is WOW! I have not had a single issue with the Sig. Why is it the best? Round count, Reliability, Accuracy, Sights, & Conceal Ability...
I have been shooting and carrying my Sig P365 ever since it came out, and I absolutely LOVE the way it carries and how many rounds it holds! I feel more comfortable having a gun that holds 10 or more rounds versus the 6 in the 43, but to each his own. I sold my Glock 43 several months after I purchased my Sig, and I haven't looked back since.... 😁
My old lady bought me a battery operated hand warmer slash flash light and u turn it on stick it in your pocket keep your shooting hand i n there for 10 seconds and ready to shoot it’s pretty cool just stick hand in your pocket 10 seconds after u shoot then ready again
You should say first concealed gun. When you figure out you wear different clothing throughout the year you might want to adjust with a different firearm and different carry position. I have several depending on what I wear and where I'm going.
I know some people won't give taurus the time of day with their past rep My g2s has been great, esp. With the cost savings over the _bigger_ name brands If you want top of the line HKvp9sk
Def have the highest mussel rise on the Walther. I carry shield 9mm and g19 between summer and winter and I’ve been interested in the 365 also but the 43X with the shield arms 15 round magazine is what I’m gonna shoot for next. Good content. 🤘🔫🇺🇸
It's a slick system for sure. But it makes regular cleaning maintenance more difficult. I have an HK-P7 M8. It's very pleasant to shoot. But there's a bit more involved in the cleaning than a standard Browning short recoil action.
I'd be scared to use the P365 with all the problems they have had. Can't go wrong with M&P or Glock. Proven reliability over many years beats new design in my opinion.
Well, you shot all of them well, but if the thin frame is what you’re looking for then stick with what works. If you are open to a thicker grip, I would recommend the G26. Since you are familiar with Glock and shoot them well, it should be a good little shooter for you. I personally find it very comfortable to carry and having gone with single stacks for a time, I went back to the G26. The bonus is it’s versatility as you can get an extended mag or use any of the high capacity Glock mags for a night stand gun. But as with everything, do what works best for you. By the way, you have a disease like most of us do and I am sorry to tell you that there is no cure. 😀
There are dozens of great carry choices out there so just pick one you like and train with it as often as possible. I've been through several over the years and I'm currently carrying the fns 9c. It's a great gun which replaced another great gun (m&p 9c) and I'll probably be carrying it for years. There really isn't a big difference between any of the major brands.
opp's 4got my other comment! As a retired Leo Park service w/issued S&W Mod 65 revolver & a snubbie 4 off duty. Lot 2B said 4 carrying same gun. Muscle Memory develop's well. F&G Officers went over 2 glocks & WE stayed w/revolvers. Cleaned up on top shooter pools & also 1st 3 round shooter. After awhile the GameFish guys developed Muscle Memory skills & lost my spot. Hope it helps somebody when picking a CCW gun. 1st shots matter alot
For my main single stack carry I like the Walther PPS M2. One of the factory mag types holds 8 rounds and with MagGuts after-market spring kit the count goes to 9 +1.
I carry a Kahr CW.45 which to me is edc perfection! You get maximum stopping power in a minimal package. Also my general philosophy as a civilian I highly doubt I'll be in a full blown shootout where I need to carry a gun with a high capacity, I feel 7 rds of .45 and an extra mag is plenty to get the job done for up close personal defense.
My carry gun is a Ruger American Compact 9mm, but it's a little thick. I definitely wanna get a Walther. I've been looking at the Walther Creed. (I know the Creed is kinda too big for a concealed carry. I just really want one.)
I've tried a LOT of different guns and I keep coming back to my M and P shield 2.0 9mm. I also have the shield .40 cal and really like it too. Surprisingly mild recoil for a small gun.
Glock 43X with the new Shield Arms S 15, 15 round steel magazine. If you haven't seen it check it out... Me personally I have the M&P Shield, Sig P365 and many more but I carry my Ruger LC9S Pro the most.
I no longer carry a gun myself, I simply carry grenades. It seems to cut down on the need for extra magazines!
Glock 43X 10+1. With the Shield Arms mags 15+1. Nice full grip.
I think this is a trick question you know there's no perfect weapon . It's a personal choice . It's what works best for you 😁 . Thanks for all you do and I hope you feel good about whatever you decide
Chris Volckening True. And perfection for me is Kahr CW380/Sig P365xl for hot weather/cold weather.
Glock 43x with shield arms mags is what I have been using. Great capacity.
I carry a glock 26 in a fobus holster. It is comfortable and a smaller than the blackhawk paddle. Bought one for my sig 226. Low profile and holds it very well. I now carry both and you can't see any profile. I like my sig 226. All steele and qualify every yr with it.
43x needs to be in the rotation with the shield magazine.
My P365XL has a 4.5 lb trigger pull and my G43X has a 4 lb trigger pull. I did have a G43 back in 2017 but my daughter got that one. I never checked the trigger pull on it. But all I did was shoot them, clean them and a light polish on the contact points. My G43X had a 5.5 pull out the box. A good cleaning and it was 5 lbs. After 500 rounds and the light polish, it was 4. My G19 had a 6.5 out the box. My G26 had a 6.8 out the box. The P365XL was 6 lbs out the box. And also, after 500 rounds and a light polish, it’s holding a steady 4.5. I sold the G26. The G19 is my toy gun, never carry it anymore. It has a 3 lb pull after some work. I don’t swap out parts on my carry gun. I’ll work on them some, but like to keep them stock. One less thing to worry about should I ever have to use it. Good video here!
The new P365XL is AWESOME. The P365 was too small and it would cant out on my hip. Appendix carry was fine. But I hate depending on a mag extension for my pinky.

Taurus G2C 9mm 12rnds , about the same size as the p365xl , half the price, great shooter, last but not least, Reliable... 100% for me
Vizion Omega Bronzeman right on, and eats almost all 9mm ammo. Now there are plenty of; magazines, sights, holsters, barrels, etc. it’s a righteous weapon.
I like the taurus g2c. Good capacity, carries very slim, and doesnt break the bank on initial purchase or on accessories and magazines. Lots of rounds fired and no problems.
What to carry? The one you are most proficient with. I have three in my EDC rotation, P365 XL, .40 Shield, and SA 1911 A1 45 acp. Mostly carried the 45 because I shot it the best. Then I got the XL last December, and it turns out I shoot that better than the other two. Really like everything about it - footprint, capacity, recoil, sights - and its optics ready.
I've been really enjoying my Springfield Hellcat ... flush mag holds 11 + 1 in a 9mm, Extended mag 13 + 1 ... about 800 rounds so far, and zero issues.... small, lightweight and very comfortable to carry iwb.
(Glock 48), (CZ P10) (FN 509 compact) (Sig Sauer P320 compact 45) that's my rotation for concealed carry! Love your videos! Test Federal HST 9mm 147 grain, HST. 40 180 grain and HST 45 230 grain! See which one travels the furthest! I know the 45 is the biggest! Yeah do a three caliber test compact! Thanks!
Love my p365xl
Glock 43X/48 with Shield Arms 15 round mag, or for more concealment the Sig P365
I'm a big .45acp and S&W fan so...
But I would recommend the regular Sig P365, since they've work out most of the problems, for most concealed carriers, the capacity is definitely a bonus.
Good comparison video!👍👍
I have a 365 not the XL. I like it a lot. It may someday replace lits of other guns I have. I also carry Shields both 9 & 45. Carry a 26 too. Seldom carry my 19 anymore. Mostly Shield 9 and P365 and the Sig is gaining fast.
I got the P365 with the safety and broke it in and it's carried now more than anything. I reccomend shooting about three hundred to five hundred rounds out of it to get used to it. It's a tiny thing. I haven't had any issue's with mine.
I have both the 365 and the xl and i highly recommend the 365xl. They r very good guns. I have 1000 rounds thru it and no problems.
I think the P365XL beats all
I carry a 9mm M&P Shield 8+1, 2015 model no safety with an extra clip,
top notch 👍
If youmare looking for ccw pistol, how about drawing from your holster and not from a low ready condition. We don't walk around with a pistol in that manner. Drawing from holsters will increase the time but is more true to actual usage.
That’s the first Walther you ever shot?!??! Woah, get your hands on a Walter PPQ...M1 or M2... you won’t look back
LA TEEZI I upgraded mine with an Apex flat trigger and put a lighter spring in the back of the gun ( forgot the name, after the transfer bar) for almost nothing. It made it even better, and it holds 15 rounds for not such a big footprint.
I've always been a 9mm striker fired guy but i recently got a para ordnance 10-45; 10rds of .45 in a subcompact 1911 platform.
i miss my taurus pt 145 10 rouds 45 in a small gun.
My EDC is the G48 with the Shield Arms S15 Mag.
15 rounds in a slim compact gun.
I just so enjoy how you are ok with being everyday. Your always honest with yourself and us. I so enjoy your channel for just the fact your always honest and humble . Thanks 😁
Agreed! Well said. Very true!
Excellent comment, I agree
M&P Shield 9mm w Speer gold dot 124gr +p and Ruger LCP 380 hornady critical defense inside a pistol rug is what I rotate. Best bangs for your buck!
Glock 19. accessories and parts, are readily available many after market options, common caliber 9 mm, dependable, 15 rds, also takes 17 mags and extended 32 rd mags, almost every cop has ammo and mags for it. The Kel Tec Sub 2000 takes the same mags and is small and light,
Why not a G43x with 15rd flush mags from shields arms. No brainer , 15+1 beats every gun size to capacity
North American Arms .22 MAG Black Widow ...No shell casing left behind...extremely easy to conceal.
Best carry 9mm: P365XL
Best carry 45 acp: Shield PC 4"
Best carry 357 Mag: LCRX
Best carry 44 Mag: M69. Combat Magnum 2.75"
If the first accurate shot is most important for you, then keep carrying the shield 45. It was your best shooter and is a great round. 45 is also less likely to over penetrate in a crowded church.
I know you’re already buying the p365 right now though. Still a good choice.
I wonder why not consider a hammer fired pistol for concealed carry though? The PX4 Storm has a fixed barrel like the Walther CCP.

Fun video. Enjoy your new P365!
My $.02 - my EDC is a Glock G30. 45ACP, 10+1 & you can use G21 mags for 13 round backup mags.
I have zero work with any of these guns except the P365 XL. I'm a CZ guy and routinely carry a CZ P10S or a P10C. I did shoot an instructor's P365XL at a class of Chris Cerino's for fun at a steel target at 50 yards in the rain and hit 2 out of 4 shots (12 x 12 target) and was impressed. I don't at all like the standard P365, but the XL has my attention.
There are so many good sub compacts now, shield, g43x, 365, cz p10s, vp9sk
Trade in that 43 for a 43X and get a shield arms 15 round mag. Good to stick with same grip angle that your used to.
I may I responded to soon. Ummm...the 365 and the M&P are your best bet carry guns. Your timed experiment with these guns showed that hands down.
P 365 is awesome comes with night sights and a great trigger. Feels like in terms of a tiny gun it’s made for me. Only way to know is shooting them all I like the 365 then the shield then the 43 because of the tiny grip on the 43 but that’s just me

I think there are better pistols for different categories, but I don't think there's a better pistol considering all categories. Sig P365 and it's not even close.
I think you did really well with the SIG. I carry a CZ P07 it has a 15 Rd capacity and is comfortable to carry.
Of the choices here I'd probably go Sig for shoot ability and rnd count. Walthers are nice, I have a PPS M2 that shoots extremely well also. You may consider one to try. My go to is a P365 and my PPS for conceal ability, I live in S. Georgia where there is allot of T-shirt weather and shorts.
Love my Glock 26. I also own and carry a Shield 9mm. I like having 10+1 with my 26 though. And I carry in a holster from KSG Armory that allows me to carry quite comfortably. Thanks for the video. Good stuff..
Glock 43x with shield arms magazine 15+1 same size as shield.
I've been carrying the 43X and been very happy with it. I am a Glock lover so I am bias!!!
The new SCCY with a red dot, Sig 365. But The S&W M&P .45 acp is not a bad choice and neither is the S&W M&P .40.
Look at the new m&p 2.0 subcompact
I was a m&p shield
guy for years picked up a sig p-365xl and wow I can’t believe how well it shoots and it carries so good and you don’t have to put nite sights on it like a glock.
I'd stick with the 45 Shield. You seem more proficient with it than any of the other guns. Caliber and capacity are overrated but speed and accuracy aren't. Like they say slow is smooth and smooth is fast. When I shoot my Glock 30S it slows me down just a little bit which tends to get me better results. That said try 147s in the Glock 43 I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. The Glock 43 and shield are 6 +1 are you realistically going to have a problem that you can't solve with 7 rounds but you can with 8, 9, or 10? Realistically a 5 shot revolver is probably going to have enough capacity to solve 99% or legitimate concealed carry shootings (there are of course situations that are outliers). I'm not saying don't carry a higher capacity firearm, just that capacity isn't as important as other factors.
I haven't read through all of the comments, but I've found that the P365 with the XL grip module and flat trigger is perfect for me
I have a ppq walther m2 9 mm
Short trigger rest and great accurat . I only shot it 50 rounds and didnt bench rest first. 2 in groups at ten yards so far. Need adj the rear sight a hair. Sporting 6 o'clock hold on the in bullseye. Which means im just shooting just under the button of the center of the dead centers. Very accurate out the of BOX. Cleansed it first like every new gun i owned. Love it.
Thoroughly enjoyed that. Thanks for bringing us along. 365XL has a lot going for it. Considering it myself. But I have in our family edc 3 Shield 45s, M&P40 full size 2.0 & an M&P40c 1.0....a Shield9 1.0 as well as a Ruger American Compact 9mm.
The 365XL has same round count as many of the Subcompact 9mms at 12 and is thinner.
If I were you, I would take a serious look at the PPQ sub.
Also the S&W M&P 2.0 Subcompact. This affords you good capacity with even higher capacity mag options. Of course Glock has had this for many years.
G26 is still an option if you are good with Glocks. Thanks
Only shot one of the specific models mentioned. Several hundred through it. I trust my xl. I trust it so much WPS says to not be a collector, I'm contemplating that thought.
If I could change one thing in my life it would be this concept. I have started to correct this by buying 3 shields. One mag to stock, different holsters for each, one caliber. I should start selling some of the random pistols I have.
Taurus g2, smith and Wesson,sd9ve and m&p 2.0, Springfield xd mod 2, canik. It depends on which mood I'm in. They all work for me.
I had completely forgotten about the CCP because it had required a dingus. Turns out that they have retrofitted this pistol with the M2 release. It uses a delayed blowback system with a pistol that softens the recoil. Additionally it has a fixed barrel that aids in a very accurate grouping. It’s very similar to the H&K P7 that sells for about 3500 dollars. You have a winner with the CCP pistol for 400 dollars. It’s one of the best kept secrets.
Glock 19,glock 30s and Beretta 92x compact.
Any of those pistols would ruin a bad guy's day. Out of the ones in your video, I like the .45 Shield. Shoots very well with plenty of power to stop the threat. Carries very well also.
Your recoil management looks best with the Sig 365. Also, round count and time to first shot/sight acquisition.
the gloves definitely helped.
I got a S&W M&P 2.0 Shield 9mm for concealed carry and an M&P 2.0 9mm full size for open carry. Both are great guns.
I carry the p365 with the 12 round mag great gun fun to shoot and accurate
Ok, I carry a 45 and I'm a guy with small hands, I carry my Glock 36 (Single Stack 45) and may be fine with your gloves
My wife has a Sig938, much smaller and maybe the BEST ever made (Law Enforcement ONLY now in our state)
I also carry a Backup for Closeup actions and I love it, it is a SeeCamp 32, and I had no issue in the qualifying to carry it
I love the g2c
I’m going to throw a wrench in your plans but since you’re already a Glock guy and have the most muscle memory built in there I’d go with the Glock 43x or Glock 48. If you’re absolutely stuck on something new then certainly give the P365XL a go.
they start with 10 so more than the 6 he been had and they made 15 rounds for them
@@bigsean2473 and with Shield Arms 15 round mags it may give him another twist on top of your twist.
You're spot on, no concealed carry better.
The best carry gun for me is the Walther PPS M2 LE , magazines are 6,7 & 8 rounds plus 1. I bought an extra 8 round. I am into year 3 with PPS. It will be the same hold as CCP but striker fired. Speed and accurate.
The CCP is not a true Walther. I would go with the Sig xl. I had a regular 365 and it was good but a tad too small for me. I'd like to try the xl.
It depends... If I'm in a city- SCCY CPX-2.... If I'm in the woods Glock19.... The SCCY is small and double action (and compared to the Glock, I don't like shooting it)... The Glock holds more rounds and I can effectively use +P Ammunition... (I got the Glock for bears and other 4 legged creatures).... If SHTF I'm using a rifle!
A 9mm for bears?
Better off with Bear spray.
Wounded Bears are big trouble!
Ive carried a G26 for years with a 17 for brief times of LE work, so use 17 mags as spare carry ones. Works for me. The shorter grip of the 26 is no drawback as some feel. I believe it induces more bad groups than it helps as the longer grip add to things like milking the grip, trigger fear/flinch and all the things folks claim about it. If I was younger and not so invested in Glocks I might change, might have to some day due to old age and infirmatives.
There is truth behind the old adage....beware the man with one gun..
Thanks for great videos !
The P365 is cool. I've got one and like it a lot. But, you shoot that Shield 45 better than the others. Stick with the Shield.
Feel in the hand is the first consideration. If it doesn't feel natural the pistol won't shoot. Middle finger tip ought to land somewhere in alignment with the thumb nail.
Sheld 45 was the 1st gun I got for ccw it was perfection can't go wrong there that's my vote
I have a g43 and a M&p 9c. I love that gun so much. Look into one
Humm, where is the Glock 26 with Magpul PMAG 12 GL9 12 round magazine? 12 rounds, very concealable and you can have a 17 or 15 round backup Glock magazine.
If slim is more your style, Shield Arms S15 offer 15 rounds in a Glock 43x or 48. It is essentially a Glock 19 slim. I still prefer G26 for compatibility upto (insert your round count here) magazines.
Walther's are probably the best guns i've ever owned. Best grips, best triggers, only downside is that I don't think they come with night sights from the factory, which means literally nothing considering they are $100 cheaper than competitors and FAR superior.
Right now I’m back and forth between a 365xl with a true precision threaded barrel, and a glock 48 with the shield arms 15 round mags.
Once I get the holosun k that premiered at shot show, I’ll probably be exclusive to the sig.
Which do you feel has less recoil or faster splits or follow up shots?
Sig P365 or 365XL will do the job. I carry a P365 daily and have a few thousand rounds thru it with several hours of training. All I can say is WOW! I have not had a single issue with the Sig. Why is it the best? Round count, Reliability, Accuracy, Sights, & Conceal Ability...
The XL is the one you need!
I carry a CZ P10C in my Agis Tier 1. It has a gen 2 Inforce light with extended mag. 15+1 in the gun and 17 in my extra mag. Best setup for me.
I have been shooting and carrying my Sig P365 ever since it came out, and I absolutely LOVE the way it carries and how many rounds it holds! I feel more comfortable having a gun that holds 10 or more rounds versus the 6 in the 43, but to each his own. I sold my Glock 43 several months after I purchased my Sig, and I haven't looked back since.... 😁
My old lady bought me a battery operated hand warmer slash flash light and u turn it on stick it in your pocket keep your shooting hand i n there for 10 seconds and ready to shoot it’s pretty cool just stick hand in your pocket 10 seconds after u shoot then ready again
The walther has a fixed barrel.. that’s why the recoil feels so much more different
You should say first concealed gun. When you figure out you wear different clothing throughout the year you might want to adjust with a different firearm and different carry position. I have several depending on what I wear and where I'm going.
I know some people won't give taurus the time of day with their past rep
My g2s has been great, esp. With the cost savings over the _bigger_ name brands
If you want top of the line
HKvp9sk
The 2 I chose for me is the taurus g2c 9mm and 40 cal. But I also carry the Springfield xds 45 and the ruger lcr 357
Def have the highest mussel rise on the Walther.
I carry shield 9mm and g19 between summer and winter and I’ve been interested in the 365 also but the 43X with the shield arms 15 round magazine is what I’m gonna shoot for next. Good content. 🤘🔫🇺🇸
CCP is smooth because it has a gas piston system like the HK P7
It's a slick system for sure. But it makes regular cleaning maintenance more difficult. I have an HK-P7 M8. It's very pleasant to shoot. But there's a bit more involved in the cleaning than a standard Browning short recoil action.
I've been carrying my 365 for over a year. 0 issues my only problem is I cant fit my finger in the trigger guard with gloves on
I'd be scared to use the P365 with all the problems they have had. Can't go wrong with M&P or Glock. Proven reliability over many years beats new design in my opinion.
Well, you shot all of them well, but if the thin frame is what you’re looking for then stick with what works. If you are open to a thicker grip, I would recommend the G26. Since you are familiar with Glock and shoot them well, it should be a good little shooter for you. I personally find it very comfortable to carry and having gone with single stacks for a time, I went back to the G26. The bonus is it’s versatility as you can get an extended mag or use any of the high capacity Glock mags for a night stand gun.
But as with everything, do what works best for you. By the way, you have a disease like most of us do and I am sorry to tell you that there is no cure. 😀
Countless guns , thousands of dollars and my search ended with the Kimber micro 9. Perfect size , love 1911's and I'm OK with 7+1 capacity.
There are dozens of great carry choices out there so just pick one you like and train with it as often as possible. I've been through several over the years and I'm currently carrying the fns 9c. It's a great gun which replaced another great gun (m&p 9c) and I'll probably be carrying it for years. There really isn't a big difference between any of the major brands.
Well if it's just those you got to choose from I would choose the sig
opp's 4got my other comment! As a retired Leo Park service w/issued S&W Mod 65 revolver & a snubbie 4 off duty. Lot 2B said 4 carrying same gun. Muscle Memory develop's well. F&G Officers went over 2 glocks & WE stayed w/revolvers. Cleaned up on top shooter pools & also 1st 3 round shooter. After awhile the GameFish guys developed Muscle Memory skills & lost my spot. Hope it helps somebody when picking a CCW gun. 1st shots matter alot
I think you shot the shield better than all of them, in 45 ACP that's also my favorite done the single stack so comfortable shoots like a dream
Smith and Wesson 9mm Shield 2.0 performance center. Is my suggestion.
G43X with Shield Arms mag.
For my main single stack carry I like the Walther PPS M2. One of the factory mag types holds 8 rounds and with MagGuts after-market spring kit the count goes to 9 +1.
I carry a Kahr CW.45 which to me is edc perfection! You get maximum stopping power in a minimal package.
Also my general philosophy as a civilian I highly doubt I'll be in a full blown shootout where I need to carry a gun with a high capacity, I feel 7 rds of .45 and an extra mag is plenty to get the job done for up close personal defense.
My carry gun is a Ruger American Compact 9mm, but it's a little thick. I definitely wanna get a Walther. I've been looking at the Walther Creed. (I know the Creed is kinda too big for a concealed carry. I just really want one.)
I've tried a LOT of different guns and I keep coming back to my M and P shield 2.0 9mm.
I also have the shield .40 cal and really like it too. Surprisingly mild recoil for a small gun.
You did the best with the .45 but if you're going to buy a new one, the Sig Saur seems to be the best for you. Thanks
Depends on your personal preferences and situation. In the end none are perfect and all are compromises
Glock 43X with the new Shield Arms S 15, 15 round steel magazine. If you haven't seen it check it out... Me personally I have the M&P Shield, Sig P365 and many more but I carry my Ruger LC9S Pro the most.
