TOO many choices

[Kahr33556]

The Kahr CW380 can't be found in my area but I am working a deal on a p380.I figure a little more I get a second mag and don't have to go to the gun show in 3 weeks to get it.
$8 gun show,$12 gas so If I get it for 525 Im pulling the trigger

That was a smart move. I've carried a few of those mentioned and there's no comparison. The thickness and weight are just wayyyyy off. I wouldn't compare an lcp and a glock 26 in any way. They are night and day (I've carried both for multiple years daily). I like them both but for different reasons entirely.

The sig is attractive, im thinking the same, but with its weight, I think you just default to the g26. No one ever complains that gun. The PPS is also a contender, versatile, slim, and super accurate.

Well I ended up getting one not on my the list
I got a M&P shield in 40 CAL. for 399 and just couldn't pass it up.
Im waiting till the cw380 are availible than that's my next purchase

Congrats! I ended up buying a Glock 30sf not to long ago, was looking for a m&p 45c, but the 30 was "used" so it was about $100 cheaper and I could not find a m&p any were, I really like it. Hope you like your new pistol as much as I like mine.

The Kahr P380 shoots better than any other mouse gun I've owned, by a pretty large margin. But it's a terrible defensive pistol. It's better than nothing. Minus well be a knife. Useless sights, too small for proper grip, patheticly slow aimed fire, slow too reload. I recommend tightening the crimp on the mag bottoms so they don't slide off and eject all your ammo at the grocery store. Get a Pm9 or Mk9 instead. Or even a J-frame revolver. My Kahr P380 is only carried on days were I need no pistol or knife and feel that my flashlight and myself is enough.

The Glock 26 is by far, the most combat effective pistol you listed. The easy, safe, boring choice. With a Dawson .110 front FO sight and a Waren tactical comp rear sight those are unstoppable. I recommend also trying the larger Glock 23 and 19. They are about as easy to conceal and far more effective to shoot. My 23 currently outperforms all my fullsize pistols.

The XDS and M&P shield may also be a really good choice. As is the Dan Wesson ECO.

Or say screw it and carry a Colt Defender. Not that much difference unless you are a small framed fellow. I carried my Para-P13 alloy, for about a year, and it was nice to know I had 14 rounds of 45. The muzzle is what gets in the way most of the time, but if you carry with a holster that sits up high and a shirt over it your ok, I am in FL also. I would wear it out at night. A Defender or Agent, is absolutely doable, maybe not all the time, but most of the time. I just like 45's. Call me old fashioned. My XDS was working for 2 years as both inside and pocket carry in a remora, and it at least had 6 rounds of 45.When I had the Shield and was switching back and forth, a vendor I was friends asked me what the heck are you carrying that Shield for when the XDS is the same size and a 45. That was the last time I carried the Shield. It isn't that small, and mine in 40 was not as reliable. The dam XDS was perfect, never had an ftf or malfunction of any kind, still haven't sent mine in.
We got our Identity hacked last week and is has been a nightmare, credit cards bank accounts they even had our drivers licenses, and account numbers. So I am literally afraid to send anything any ware until this gets cleared up, be careful out there guys, a friend who in vice president of security for Sun Trust bank, said a lot of this is coming from Wall-mart. They are the most lax in outdated security and have refused to comply with the new security techniques, not to hijack the thread but check your accounts every week. There was 1 charge to Wall-mart, for 20,000 dollars, in Nebraska, we live in Florida, the guy put himself on all our accounts.
