A good accurate concealed carry pistol

[FireFlyFishing]

Glock 43X or 48 have all but made the G19 obsolete, especially when using the available 15 round mags.

Explain. Assuming you're talking the shied mags, right?

Or the PSA micro-slicks (15rd)-- they come with 10rd single stacks.

I think the G19 as an overall do-it-all handgun (CC, duty, nightstand, plinking) is impossible to beat, small or large footprint lights, full size RDS capable, add a comp or suppressor if you want and unbeatable magazine/parts interoperability (anywhere you go in the world someone will have a double stack glock mag and parts).

If you don't like glock ergos then try the M&P. Again I've seen shields/sub-compacts not work well but the 4.0" (g19 size) are g2g.

-- my full size gun is a 2.0 CORE w/ apex trigger and the only thing I've shot that I like better is my Staccato.

Check into a shied plus nowadays

Nah, I'm good with what I've got. Wouldn't change a single thing about my current setup.

Yes using the aftermarket mags.

It is a much thinner profile than the G19 and is easier for more people to be comfortable with and much lighter to boot. Just a better all around carry package.

100%

I think the only reason the 43x/48 wouldn't make a g19 a total by-gone is the sheer number of them produced over time and the accessbility of parts/mags/aftermarket accessories.

I used to compete with S&W revolvers, 1911, Browning Hi Powers and a CZ85, But my EDC is a Glock 23. I'll probably augment it with a pocket carry piece.

Find a used STI in 9mm. They can still be found and are extremely accurate.

I have been carrying a P320 X-Compact frame with a carry length slide which is dimensionally about identical to a Glock 19. I just got my P365 XL and it is pretty fantastic to carry. Compact, thin, accurate, and easier to shoot than I thought it would be considering its size. I am not a Glock guy but carried a 23 for work and also had an HK P2000SK, and I don't miss either of them.

I worked for several years in th US, so could avail myself of CC and only carried a 1911 or a Browning HP, that would be my choice today. Not at the same time.

With a proper belt and holster and due care with how you dress, you can hide a howitzer and still carry it all day.

Glocks never did feel right.

I did carry a 686 for a while just to prove you could CC a big revolver. It wasn't that bad, think I still have the kydex holster here somewhere. It was iwb and behind the hip, you needed to wear a vest .

Kimber K6s with 2.5" barrel

For me CC and accuracy do not mix.....
Accuracy and hunt pistol do.....
I want a smooth gun I can pull out quick and not get hung up on sites....
Remember the 3x3 rule.....
most gunfights last 3 seconds...
are shot at 3 feet....
with 3 rnds.fired....

I have two I carry. One is a SIG P365XL and the other is a Wilson Combat FXF9. The WC makes me look like I am an expert shooter…..but not. It is VERY accurate.

Put a combat pistol or revolver in a machine rest, feed it decent ammunition and you will find the majority of them are capable of astounding accuracy, some match capable...

But, the sights on earlier models, left a lot to be desired, because the intent and purpose was to be used quick and fast at close range and "Minute of threat " was good enough.

Pick your poison ..aimed fire....point fire...or whatever...weaver, tripod, isoceles...offensive, defensive...

Find one you like and are willing to carry and practice with and have fun.

Another vote for the G19-43-48.
