Main Topic: Stuck In The Middle With You
Handguns are a balance between power, shootability, concealability & size. There are some discussions as to which is the best. This isnt a definitive list; some of these will work for some people, but not for others.
-Power vs. Concealment vs. Size & Shootability
-S&W J Frame (Originally .38 Special, then .357 Magnum) Good power, but shootability may be a problem for some; size is great for pocket carry, but capacity may leave something to be desired
-Glock G26/G27/G29/G30/G33 Quite concealable, good all around power, some cartridges VERY powerful, but controllability may be an issue; not much real estate to hang onto with the grip & the .40, 10mm & .357 Sig can be a handful. Capacity can be good or meh, depends on the caliber. Concealable, but thick.
-Glock 19 it’s such a common size for a reason
-Ruger LCP/LCP Max: A bit low on power using .380, but will pretty much slip into *any* man’s pocket
-Kahr CM9/CM40: One of the first super concealable, full power pistols. Single stack, so not great on capacity, but very shootable, can be pocket carried. Power good, due to full power cartridges being used.
-Sig P365- Perfect balance between capacity, power, concealability & shootability.
-1911: Full-sized, but slim makes it surprisingly easy to IWB carry
-Desert Eagle: just because *you* can’t conceal it, doesn’t mean that I can’t!
