Conceal carry weapon
I am going to get several pistols upon my return from afghanistan.
I am going to get the M&P9 range/carry kit and a XDM40. I am looking at getting a conceal carry weapon as a daily carry. I have talked to people who carry full size pistols, but most of them wear jeans even during the summer. I am an island guy, so I enjoy wearing flipflops/slippers and shorts. I was looking at getting the SW Bodyguard 380 since it is perfect as a pocket pistol. I have read that finding ammo for the 380 is difficult and expensive. I have always wanted a G27 or a G26. Plus, I figured that I should get a 9mm or a 40SW CCW since i'll have a full size 9mm and 40SW. Since I am in the military, I do not need to take the CCW course, but will take it when my wife is ready to take one. What do you guys suggest? What do you carry?

Take a look at the Kahr lineup. They are super slim single stacks. The CW and CM line are the "budget" versions of the P and PM. You can get them in 9 through 45.
A CW or PM would make for a perfect island carry type gun IMO. Very compact, very slim, very easy to conceal. I carry a Glock 26. It's not too hard to conceal but one of those Kahrs would definitely be a lot easier. I think I am going to get a CM9 at some point.

I carry a 4in Kimber 1911 .45 acp.
I have no issues hiding it it's not too heavy. What ever you choose don't go any smaller than 9mm.

Seems like a lot of people are using single stacks for EDC.
I am definitely leaning towards something not lower than a 9mm. Although, my choices are a 9mm or a 40SW. I have never heard of kimber or kahr. I always hear the typical glock, SW, springfield...etc for everyday shooters. I definitely need to do some research. thanks guy

They are both nice brands. Kahrs aren't cheap and are built to very tight tolerances so you need to be able to put several hundred rounds through one before you actually start carrying it.

In VA if you are military you don't need to take a class.

If you are cool with the .380 maybe you should look at the Ruger LCP. It seems like a good pocket gun and the newer models get some pretty good reviews.

Although, the BG380 is quite popular now and seems to be up to par to the LCP. I'll get the BG380, but still unsure. I doubt i'll ever have to use but worried about when I really do have to use it, if it is able to handle the situation.

I like 9mm, not sure if I'd really be comfortable carrying a .380 or not. So that's where something like the CM9 from Kahr comes in if I want a pocketable pistol.

Where did you get yours and how much? Would consider it since it is the same ammo capacity to the BG380.

I don't have a CM9 (yet) but Budsgunshop.com seems to have some of the best pricing online.
