Good choices, I have a 23, but the double stacking on that G-30 45, is a little uncomfortable to shoot, makes the grip to big

Glock 21 .45 ACP with hollows. You only have to hit the guy once.
If you've ever been in a life threatening situation, you know that you do not always react the way you think you will. We're supposed to bark orders in three's, but my mouth totally locks up and can't say a word if I'm in a situation like that. It was weird, all that training on "decide, dominate, destroy" stuff seemed to go right out the window. I dominated all right, but with my stature and gun training only. I didn't verbalize a word to him, he submitted though, thankfully. I certainly don't want to have to shoot anyone, but if I do, it won't take much with a g21 that's for sure.

I currently carry the Kel-tec PF-9.
In my early research for my first firearm purchase, I zeroed in on the Glock full-size 9mm's to start with a solid high capacity defensive pistol for the home. During this time I also asked one of my local shops about a good concealable 9mm & after showing me the usual average to higher-cost fair, he talked about a good, low-cost American-made weapon by a company called Kel-Tec.
The PF-9 he showed me looked to be very nicely concealable, & his impression was that it was a solidly functioning gun...especially for the money. I researched all I could about this pistol, getting pricing & impressions from all around.
By the time I finally had the money for my first purchase, the PF-9 was real hard to find (production lull or something). Weeks of looking & calling around led me nowhere. Then I found that my local Streicher's was selling off their Glock stock, & I happily lucked out when one of their customers who had the last G17 w/night sights on hold was a no call/no show. As the guy was running up the bill for the firearm (& whatnot) I asked if he knew of anyone locally who might have any Kel-tec PF-9's.
"We do!" I hadn't seen any in the case in my visits to the store. "You have one in stock?", I asked. "We've got two that just came in. Haven't had a chance to put 'em out yet." :biggrin: I had him bring them out & after finding a little rust on the barrel of one, I asked to see the other. It looked perfectly fine & the price, as it turns out, was better than I had been expecting.
The PF-9 has been great at the range, & it carries nicely in my Bianchi Professional 100 & my CrossBreed QwikClip - both IWB holsters. I find it to be a darn fine firearm for my first carry.

Glock 32 for me but the wife is looking to trade her glock 27 for something slimmer in .380 or 9. The glock is to thick for her to conceal now that she has lost weight, any suggestions? Thinking walther ppk or ruger lc9

I really like my Kel-Tec PF9. It's the "inspiration" for the LC9. It's part of my CC rotation.

Kel-Tec P11. If the PF9 had existed when I bought, I would have gotten one of those instead; although I do like the P11's 12-round fully-internal mag, and easy acceptance of 15-round mag. And I'm attached to my P11 now. Not the most accurate at range, but I can do well enough at 50 feet. For a self-defense weapon, 5 of 5 in a torso-sized target at 50 feet is plenty.

The faithful snubby
I have a .357 (best man stopper there is), a 1911 in .45 ACP (the second best manstopper there is), a 9MM (the most common and easiest to shoot), but always find myself with my little.38 Special snubby in my pocket, ready to back me up, should the need arise.
