Hello Everyone,
Wow, this is like TFL continued...fantastic. Well this is my first post over here, and certainly not my last.
I'm in the market for a new warm weather CCW pistol. I was fortunate enough to get to a range that rented pistols and I got to try out three compact .45’s. I tried the following: Glock 36, SIG P245, Para 7.45 LDA.
My main concern is size, and being able to comfortably conceal whichever I decide to purchase. Since, I am currently carrying a full-size any of these would be an improvement with regards to size and weight.
The three above-mentioned pistols were all fine shooters. I would really have to get used to the Glock trigger, but besides that the Glock performed well, and seems as though it would be the easiest to conceal, as well as being the most comfortable to carry all day long. The Para LDA, was a really sweet shooter, and has a fantastic trigger. The only downside is that it is the heaviest of the three, as well as the most expensive. The P245, while not the smallest, but not the heaviest, was a great shooter as well, DA/SA pulls were excellent IMHO. I think I have it narrowed down to these three, so of the three which would you pick and why?
The wildcard: I am also considering the (Sig) Mauser M2, though I have not had the opportunity to try it out yet. Can anyone comment on this pistol? Good? Bad? Impartial? Not really sure on the overall size either.
Any other options I should consider?
Thank you all for your time, and I appreciate your input ,
