Concealed Carry Glock?

[kenpo333]

I've been carrying since the late 70'S. I like the 365 but MINE was not as accurate as the G 43X or 48. I had numerous of my friends try and all of us agree on that. Get a shield arms magizine and you have 16 rounds in the gun that just won't fail you. Have well over a quarter million rounds with glock counting the competition guns and haven't had one not go bang when I pulled the trigger except for ammo malfunctions. Over 30k rounds through one and haven't changed a spring or barrel.

Some dealers will "block" standard mags to make them Crown Approved. You are not allowed to unblock them. Unless you are in The Parking Space. There are several. One at the Gettysburgs MagDonalds, one outside Nordstroms at Tysons Corner, and one out front of anywhere in West Virginia that sells alcohol or food or hardware or shoes or car parts or alcohol or tires or alcohol.

Here's the one in Gettysburg.

-_- I see. Well Tysons corner is closer to me so I'll check in on that one next time I go to that mall

OP, the right answer is: you need one of each. Everything else is just silly talk.

Haha! Yes. One moment let me put you on the phone with my wife so that you can clear things up for her.

 

[Mr Pew]

Yes "retreads". Anyways check out ranges that rent pistols out. Check out how your girl feels n then check groupings. However even if she gets better groupings off the bat in one, if she's more comfortable in another she's more likely to practice more in that one. Then she'll get better and negate first groupings.

Thanks a lot. That sounds like a good plan.

Tack on the Shield Arms 15rd mags and the 43x is the winner in my books.
To pile on to the Walther PPKs, it is heavy and has a lot of recoil for "just" being a .380 pistol. Mine leaves the safe once a year at best.

Im in the boat with a glock43X an shield arms.

My wife prefered the sig.. So darn much choice and freedom still. Enjoy.

Blah blah blah blah.

Grip reigns supreme on a carry pistol.
Any size pistol can be properly concealed.
Shooting the pistol saves your life. Greater concealment doesn't.
Don't sacrifice utility for convenience and comfort.
Feet should wear the right size shoe and the hand should wear the correct size grip.

You should try to make a limerick out of that.

The holster should not be worn distal .....

I have started looking at the Glock 43x. I appreciate all the help. It's been great being able to lean on others more knowledgeable.

The 43x with shield mags is the Glock way to go.

Hello.
Thanks for all the warm welcomes. New to forum. New to building.
I am in the process of planning two gats for my misses. An AR9 and a concealable/home defense pistol. Pmag 27 GL9 mags from AR9 can switch to most Glocks and I appreciate that. However, if the smaller Glock 19 is too small for her hand(I've read complaints) or just doesn't like it would the Walter PPk or Sigp365 be good alternatives?
She's a fit woman and not particularly small. The Walter seems nice because of the size but. Recommendations? I know little about pistols. Thank you
Edit: she will be firing all three but am wondering about objective differences, pros and cons.

A Glock 48 maybe a decent alternative… I use it for an CCW… not too small but not too big for CCW like a 17 or 19

Sorry, I don't know why shield mags are so great. I have a couple Magpul pmags. Are they good too?

These are metal 15 round "single stack" mags so to speak. Not 10 round.

Yes I'll take that Glock thanks.

If we settle on 43x I'll definitely get the shields. Thank you for the heads up. I like metal.

You wouldn't happen to know anything about the Glock member coupon program do you? If you have to wait two years and what the end price for different Glocks would be?

I tried asking earlier up the thread and people missed it or didn't know.

I've always bought under Blue Label. Sorry I don't know the coupon your talking about.
When you order the Shield mags, get their metal Mag release as well. Plastic against metal isn't a good combo.

The GSSF program is what I should have said. I finally found a price list. $380 for 43x. Plus $40 membership. Taxes fees.

I'll keep digging around. Metal on metal with some grease, yeah. Thanks.

Sorry to keep asking so many questions but I recently fell upon the Glock membership coupon program. I had been thinking of buying used but then realized I don't know enough to safeguard my purchase. I saw a consignment Glock at Atlantic for $400 I think. But I don't know the dangers of buying used. Also the Glock membership coupon thing gets it down to $450 or something. I read you only get the coupon after the second year though. A couple of opinions? Sorry I just don't know the dangers,risks, warranties etc.

Buy at Atlantic.

VERY reputable.

With GSSF, you're already at $420, and with taxes and transfers it jumps up fast.

everyone... EVERYONE... LISTEN UP! the resident, self-proclaimed pistol expert has spoken...

Ya sure, any pistol can be properly concealed. Comfortable enough for all day every day carry is a different story. Talking someone into a potentially full size pistol as a "conceal carry" option is a bad idea, because after two weeks they're going to say, man this sucks I'm just not going to carry anymore.

Tell that to the 4'11" female coworkers I had who did just fine with SIG P229s in austere environments all over the world.
Do tell us tho.... What's your worldwide carry experience been?

Shut up for FFS.
