I was going to do this as a poll, but this is more open. In California, its tough to get a nice carry-size piece, of consequence. I own a Springfield EMP, and that could just be the answer. Its in a 9mm, but thats fine. It is a great feeling handgun, and sound as can be. Accurate beyond belief. And, re the 9mm, the right ammo, and a little practice as to 'shot placement' and I don't think there is anyone here that wants to be holding the target from behind!
Now....I've been told that the Sig P232 might be the "Cadillac" of concealable guns. Its pretty nice, but its also over $800!!! (I paid $1100 for my EMP, but hey, it CALLED to me! ) I would L O V E a Ruger LCP, but its a no-no in CA. (DOJ Dummies)! Its like you can have a stainless P232, but not a blued P232!! :banghead: !!?? (***?)
So, what is YOUR opinion for the best concealable (CCW) carry pistol? I have a Sig P226, but to me it is just too big to enjoy carrying, even with my Miami Classic, let alone any belt or IWB holster. (I actually have a Haugen speed scabbard, belt and mag holder ordered-maybe THAT will make a difference?)
So, I guess I want something mechanically well engineered, compact and powerful enough to REALLY be considered a SD weapon, that is easy and comfortable to conceal.
Thanks for any help.
