Advice for carry gun

[shooter@5(4)life]

Oh, and I forgot about the best smallest handgun I own. North American Arms .22 LR revolver. That gun is so small you can carry it in your pocket, sock or even in a empty cigarette pack! It's five shot and I load it with CCI Stingers. It is also stainless so you don't have to worry about it! You have to be fairly close for it to be effective though! But five shots of CCI Stingers would do anyone any good!

Summer gun I would recommend S&W Airweight 442 or 642, Kel Tec P3AT or Glock 26.

All year long, I carry a Wilson CQB Elite in a Sparks VersaMaxll IWB with 2 spare mags in a carrier. A little heavy sometimes, but I got used to it. Nothing builds confidence like a chunk of .45 steel digging into your hip!

I picked up an m&p subcompact today. Fit my hand better then the Xd subcompact. May want to give them a look.

C'mon folks (not just you sporter), let's take a minute and review the OP's criteria. . .

Looking for a semi-auto that is NOT double action for every shot. (As is so common for small carry guns.)

I have the CZ PO1 and carry it in the summer months easily. Very nice gun.

I guess I'd better find one of those to try before I go buy an XD SC. My dad's got an M&P, and it's a pretty cool gun.

That's why my wife bought her M&P 9c. She ended up not liking it much, she didn't like the way it felt when she shot it, and for whatever reason it's the one gun she couldn't shoot worth a darn. Wish I could have kept it for myself. It was as accurate as my Beretta, and easier to carry. She had to make it go bye bye to get another gun.

Hello, this is my first post so please excuse any unintentional lack of any protocol.

I am a firm believer in the saying,"Beware of the man with one gun because he probably knows how to use it." Although I have several handguns, I keep my defensive ones the same and they are XDs. Same feel, same sight picture, same (or similar) trigger. Since you already have an XD, I would suggest you consider the subcompact. I have one and find it very versitile and compact, allowing you to also use the 16rd mag as well when needed. I carry it using the 10 round mag and my back up mag is the 16 rd with the extension/ spacer.

Buy one of these, I think they look too kewel Products & Services

I'm gonna go with an XDsc because the new ones have 13 round mags for flush fit and 16 round mags for the extended grip.

Stainless steel Smith 3913.

pardon the thread jack,
Do they make a full SS 3913? my Wife's is SS slide & alloy frame...

the frame is starting to get worn... ( after several 10K of shots)

My Sig P-239 .40cal carried in a Tucker Under-Cover IWB works great for me as a summer rig. Slim and single stacked, makes a great choice. I have a Mitch Rosen Premier OWB on the way for the same gun to use on occasion.
