What is your CCW?

[2cammer97]

I'm planning to get my CHL in the coming months. I really love my Beretta 92A1 9mm for the shooting range and home defense but i'm starting to research what I want to get for CCW. I prefer alloy guns to polymer so i'm considering the CZ 75 P01, CZ 75 RAMI, Sig 239, Sig 229, and the Beretta 92 compact even though it's still a little large. I like all these in 9mm but i'm open to .40. I shot my friends Kahr CW9 and it wasn't bad for a polymer.

So, what does everyone CCW and why? Also, how do you carry it?

Sigs are great but damn expensive.
I don't have my CHL yet but I have a CW9 and love it; that is what I will probably carry when I get my license. It is slim and light. My buddy carries one as his CCW about 95% of the time.

I'd recommend a XDM 3.8 subcompact but they are doublestack and still pretty thick; something that alot of people don't really consider when buying a CCW.

I need something smaller (frame). Like to pick up a .40 or .45 in the next month.

Good call Denny... All I ever carry is my Glock 23 gen 3... It gets a annoying when im always adjusting my shirt. P32 any good? Feel like its worth the dough?

I carry a HK P7, great carry gun. Was actually designed for Concieled Carry. No protruding things to catch on clothing, except sights and those are rounded off. The mag release is a butt release. The slide catch is integrated into the hand guard. And the cocking mechanism and slide release is integrated into one. This gun is also called the "squeeze cocker". I carry it in a holster I got from a place out here in VA, and it's an inside the pant holster. Easily concielable with shorts and a t-shirt. ONLY drawback to it, is it's a 9MM But I don't care how tough you are, 8 9MM's to the chest and you probably aren't getting back up. Also it's kinda pricy and difficult to find.

M&P9 IWB 4 o'clock.

It's comfortable there for me, although I had to switch my wallet from right side to left back pocket to accommodate. The muzzle would pin the wallet and make it hard to retrieve.

Also pocket carry a .380 when dressed up for work, but I don't like it because the one I have is too bulky and REALLY prints if I don't wear pleated slacks. This is equipment issue and I need to get a different pistol and holster to make this more workable. Leaning towards an LCP to fill this role.

Mostly a matter of preference. You might try a few things before settling on something.

I plan to test a variety of guns just like I did when I purchased my Beretta 92A1. For now, i'm just internet researching. I'm reading good things about the CZ's and was impressed with the full size CZ 75 I shot previously. I've also been impressed shooting my wife's bro-in-law's Sig P226 stainless in .40, which is why i'm interested in the Sig 229 and 239 even though Sig's cost more. The only thing I don't like on the Springfield's is the grip safety. The grip safety feels odd in my palm when firing but maybe you get use to it over time.

Great gun, Easy to find but very pricey.
