Narrowing down CCW choices.
Looking for a new CCW, and 2 of my contenders are Sig P 238 and Springfield XD series. I like the XDs and theXDm.
Any opinions on these?
I also like Kimbers ultra carry II, but its out of my $700 cap.
Im not a glock fan, so there off the list.
I'm leaning toward a 40cal, but a 9mm is a possibility.

I carry 9x18 P-64. Small easy to conceal. I love it.

I am looking at the XD's in .45. Like the thin profile. I have a XD 4" compact in a .40 and like it but is alot bulkier and harder to conceal. I would really like the Kimber Ultra + II in .45 but like you said its outside my budget as well.
I used to shoot nothing but .40 cal but with the prices of ammo increasing I went to the .45. You can reload it more ofter per case and I give up about 1 round capacity on most CCW's.

Consider a Smith & Wesson at all?
I have two M&P 9's I like it so much.

I've got an XD 40 sub-compact, it's a double stack, but I understand Springfield has a single stack version that might work for you.

do yourself a favor and at least find a Shield from S&W to look at. it's about the perfect size

I have an XDS .45 and it is a nice shooting gun but still a little bulky and heavy to carry. I am finding that I carry my Taurus Slim 9mm more often.

I go with a S&W M&P Shield 9mm. Nice feel, not too big, not too small.

I recently bought a Sig P238 to add to the collection. The choice was made after shooting a friends, I used to carry a Keltec 380 because of the conceal ability of it, but hated to shoot it. The SIG is REALLY nice to shoot. Sportsmans Warehouse had a Black Friday Special on them for $479 with a holster and night sights. You can't go wrong with any of the suggested ones, but keep in mind it's tought to carry all the time and the bigger/heavier the package the less likely you are to carry. I love carrying my Colt 1911 Defender, but rarely do to it's size.

Love this pistol and was looking that this one for the wife. Is it difficult to carry with it IWB?

I second on the sig p238. It's a quality made piece, perfect for concealed carry. I have an unused wallet holster, made for that gun. If you ever get one, just contact me. It's yours.....

Y'all ain't politically correct!
Donchano you are being watched? And heard? They gonna' come for you..........

for me its a Glock.. I carry a Glock 19... no safety to fumble with... its on the trigger... and the larger capacity mag is a plus.. and Glocks will ALWAYS WORK !

I third the Sig 238 -- feels like a baby 45 -- excellent grip and nice safety -- used to carry a double stack Taurus 9mm but the weight and bulk got to me -- I carry the Sig from dawn till dusk with no problem -- it shoot excellent and conceals nicely -- comes with a nice belt holster and extra mag -- bought another mag and carry 2 with me also-- sometimes use a shoulder holster when riding but belt holster is also comfortable.

Smith & Wesson M&P 9 has incredible ergonomics with the backstraps. I keep looking at and testing the Walther PPQ - accurate, accurate, accurate and incredible feel!!
I hear all the arguments between .45 and 9mm and everyone thinks they need big calibers - a weapon is only as good as the operator - control of a 9mm can be better than big calibers in inexperienced operator hands. Plus 9mm is more readily available in the field (if it ever comes to that)!
My personal preference is obviously the 9mm.

If you like the P238 then take a hard look at it's 9MM brother, the P938 (on the right in this picture)
I have a P238, Ruger LCP and XDS .45 I rotate through CCW duty and the P238 is hands down the best shooter. The LCP with laser conceals the best and the XDS is a good shooter with a lot of power but it's impossible to conceal in the summer.
The S&W Shield is comparable to the XDS but the XD has a better trigger IMHO and shoots softer.
-
Lots of great info. The XD is really nice. haven't held the Walther PPQ. Mite have to give that one a look.
Oh the choices.....

I f you want to carry REALLY concealed; these'll happily ride in your front pocket...
Seecamp.jpg The Seecamp. They come in two flavors: .32 ACP, and .380 ACP.
(I've got the .32, but would love to find a .380 in this tiny package!

Springfield XD is the way I went. Not only did it feel like an extension of my hand but due to it being completely ambidextrous I bought another. Now both hands have one.
Sempert out,

Ya thats a true pocket pistol. I'm going to be heading to a few shops this week to see what my choices are.

I have small hands and was looking for a nice conceal carry weapon. My first purchase was the M&P Shield. Love this weapon, as I also have other caliber M&P's. I did find it to be a little heavy to carry. Then I purchased the Kahr CW 380, loved the feel of this weapon in my hand. only problem I had was with the double spring in the slide, I could not pull the slide back. The salesman said it would become easier....it did not. Now I have the Sig. P238 with the night sights and this is the weapon for me, I loved it so much I purchased a second one.Just a females point of view.

RT-S PE#0060
