Concealed Carry weapon of choice

What would be an ideal weapon of choice to carry? I am currently carrying a S&W SD40VE. I really like the way it shoots and handles, but it is kind of heavy. I use an "old faithful holster" on the hip. It is very comfortable. I have only been carrying for 6 months and I don't even know it's back there.
 
I have the other Glock .40 caliber... the Glock 22 full-size. I carry either in a Kholster (IWB) or a Serpa Blackhawk at 2:30. (and all other times during the day. :wink:)


There is no "perfect weapon of choice". Firearms are tools and do certain things well while not doing other things as well. Figure out what it is you want your firearm to be able to do, get the firearm that does that, is comfortable and that you will train with. Then, THAT is the perfect weapon for you.
 
HK USP 40c in a handmade holster made of horse hide with stingray trim made by Ugly Bald Guy holsters. It's a gun Goldylocks would love...... it's just right.

Sig P238 for regular daily wear all times of the year or Glock 19 for cooler weather when more layers allow better concealment. Will be getting a Sig P938 as soon as cash flow allows.
 
The "ideal" weapon to carry is one you like, are accurate with, and is reliable and comfortable. :)

I have a 9mm M&P Shield and a .357mag Chiappa Rhino, and I alternate between the two depending on what I'm wearing.

How do you like the Rhino? I have been intrigued by the design. .. not sure how well it fits my hands though.

LOVE the Rhino. Almost no muzzle flip so back on target very quickly. They've got different grip sizes available, so if you don't like the one you have, you could change it. The 2" model comes with the smallest, and I think the longer ones have the medium size.

I currently carry a Sig 1911 Ultra IWB. My alternative is a Ruger SR9C. Looking at a small 380 for pocket carry.
 
downgrading:(

I've been carrying a glock 30s for the past year, best pistol I've owned in years. I won't compromise, i live and brash 45acp. Unfortunately due to financial woes i had to sell it. Now I'm in the market again, and I'm thinking of going with a Taurus pt145 g3. It gets good reviews and its in my budget. I'm not sure though, all my range buddies have at least one Taurus, and they have all had to send their guns back at least once. But Taurus has always done good by their warranty as far as i know.double stack 45acp carry guns are still hard to come by though. Old love to own another officers 1911, they have just become so pricey. Another buy for another year i suppose.
 
The perfect concealed carry varies from person to person, it all depends on what you are comfortable with and your own shooting preferences. I personally prefer the Beretta PX4 Storm Subcompact in a .40, plenty small yet packs a hefty punch without as much of the wall piercing attributes of the 9mm, just to be safe I don't shoot anyone three houses down.
