Glock 26 if you want to stay with Glocks

I recommend the Bersa Thunder 9 Ultra Compact

A buddy of mine has this pistol for his daily CCW and with no issues

i didnt like the small glocks. half of my hand hangs out. horrible grip. my friend has smith and wesson m&p40. love that. prefect size for carry. only thing i dont like about it is the recoil. i think i prefer a 40 over a 9.

G36 /end. No grip issues and its a .45ACP. Own one and love it! Perfect for IWB concealment.

I still like the FN FiveseveN

I also have the S&W 340 and you are right about the recoil. They are smaller than the G26. There is no grip for your pinky. I originally bought as a CCW but I can't hit shiit with that damn thing.

They are nice and I would love to have one but I can't see myself spending 1k+ for a pistol and 50 cents per round. Also, good luck trying to find 5.7 ammo since FNH is the only one that makes it.

what s a good subcompact 40 cal? i like the xd sub-compact but it may be a bit big for concealment...

Robert_K · 06-27-2011, 06:30 PM

Love my G23 for .40S&W.

Look at the Walther PPS in .40 cal - much thinner than the Glock. I couldn't hack the stubby grip on the G26 and its lack of 5th finger support. Especially in .40, you want to make sure you can manage the recoil with only a partial grip.

anyone have any fire experience with the H&K P30L?

You mean like this?

Ben, the link is dead but I think I have an idea of what you're talking about.

I just think it's hilarious looking at some of the tactical setups on Shotgun world. Guys with $500+ optics on a $350 scatter gun.

Right now I'm trying to decide if I like the look of the M4 style stocks on a shotgun. I like them mainly for ease in adjustment for different shooters. It's either the Knoxx Spec-Ops stock or the Hogue 12" LOP stock. I feel like the stock stock is too long for defensive shooting.

I checked the PPS out at the gun shop over the weekend. It is very thin, almost awkwardly so. It's a very nice piece, though.
