Hey all
Can I get some advice on good auto-pistols to choose from? It's going to be for daily AIWB carry in .40S&W. I'm looking for something less than a full-size but hate guns where my pinkie hangs off the end of the handle (and I hate magazine extensions). So essentially this means I'm looking at pistols that have approximately a 4" barrel or are about 7" in total length. Pistols like the SIG P229 and Glock 23 fit these parameters. The SIG P239 would also fit these parameters because it has a hand-sized handle/grip. I was hoping to get advice on other models/makes I might try that also come in these sizes. For example, the M&P is only available in Full-size and Pint-sized so it is out. But I believe H&K makes some models that would qualify for consideration? I would love to see Pistol Trial results (like the U.S. Government sometimes conducts) to see how various models hold up. I plan to rent the top recommondations at the range and see which I like best for purchase. Love to hear any insights you all have on plus/minuses for the various models you recommend, if you have any experiences you care to share. For example, one negative for P229 would be weight. But weight can sometimes be good for controlling recoil. Will carrying the weight on daily basis be a big negative to avoid?
thanks
