Looking at another rotation CCW

Hello all. I am in the search for a new firearm to add to my CCW rotation. The two that I have now are a Ruger SR9C and a Ruger SP101 357, which neither have ever hiccupped on me. Now looking for something smaller and lighter then I have now. Which one would you pick out of the ones below. I have narrowed it down to the following:

1. Sig Sauer P365
2. Hellcat
3. HK VP9SK
4. HK P30SK
5. FN Reflex recommended by Tactical Shepard and feels amazing in hand.

Anyone wish to throw something else into the mix and if so why?

I have a Ruger LCP MAX that I just got. Like it a lot.

Sig p365 because they come with factory night sights. P365x macro is ok, but is a little bulky for me. I do like the fact holoson makes a direct fit for the slide.

i would not buy any carry gun that didn’t come with night sights. Not saying it’s a must, for me it’s a standard.

I guess im of the minority that carries the same gun, in the same location, all the time. Under stress of a fight for your life, there is no chance of getting confused of which gun in the rotation you maybe attempting to save your life with. Silly me.

The handgun and holster manufacturers would like a word with you about your attitude Sir.

I’m a huge fan of the Shield plus. I've been carrying the original shield for 10+ years and just upgraded to the Plus.

I really do like the Shield Plus and it would have been my number 5, but I put the Tactical Shepard suggested pistol instead

Ruger Brotherhood!

I am a big Ruger fan and every firearm I own is a Ruger. This is the only reason I was looking at something different this time around.

I tried the hellcat multiple time and the p365xl once. Sold them all. Shot and liked the shield plus so much that I pick mine up after the 7 days.

P365XL for me with the occasional switch to a SP-101 .357

I was thinking the same. Pick and stick...

I would add the Ruger LCP Max to your list. It's as small and light as it gets.

My SP101 feels very heavy after carrying around more modern stuff.

I love my Sp101 but partially that's because it is indeed a heavy hunk of steel. Absent needing the power of .357 magnum, I can't see me carrying mine.

The Bersa Thunder Plus looks pretty good if you want to go 380.

My point of view might differ a lot from most.

For reasons of muscle memory and manual of arms issues, I only carry CZ P01 and CZ Rami; they're both decockers, have nearly the same ergonomics, and I find them comfortable to shoot.

I don't want to have to think about firearm operation if I'm being attacked. Whatever I carry will work and feel the same, every time.

Of course, I don't have the ability to train continually, or even frequently, so I try to minimise the variables. YMMV.

365 without a doubt. Shield Plus also a good option.

I'm in love with my 365-380 with the wilson combat grip frame.

I haven't 'fondled' both 380 and 9mm P365's next to each other.. Is the 380's recoil spring a good bit lighter or are they pretty close ?

I mostly agree. I typically carry a glock 19. The only difference comes when I go from ccw (most all the time) to wearing a full belt. Then I move it from 1oclock to 3 oclock. It may become a 17 or a 34 on the belt but the triggers are the same, ergonomics are the same, etc.

I'm not a big enough guy to hide a 19 at 3oclock in all clothing during normal daily activities. That's my reason.

I don't have a 365 in 9mm so can't comment on recoil spring.

This is how I feel. I currently switch between two but plan to drop to one this summer

Winner, winner, chicken dinner. I'm totally with you my friend. I don't do "Switcheroos" for CCW. Winter is a 9mm 1911. Summer is a .380 1911. All have the same manual of arms..

If I want to have a little more fun with my other toys, I do it at the range, NOT when I carry.
When I carry I want everything to be muscle memory, NOT hey, lets carry a striker fired today and a 1911 tomorrow.
