cc handgun opinions

#1

Post by The Nizzard »

Hey all,

Have my choice for a cc handgun narrowed down between two models.
Either the Glock 26 or the M&P shield 2.0.. Any experience/thoughts would be welcomed.
Also any suggestions for different models I may have overlooked. I am comfortable with the feel of both, just having a hard time deciding.

I typically pocket carry Ruger LCP. If I'm looking for a bit more, I'll got with the Walther PPS-M2. The Walther is also what my GF shoots on girls nights.

Shield. Thinner gun is more comfortable to carry.

Also check out the Sig P365. I carried a Shield (as well as a dozen other CCW guns over the years) and the Sig P365 has been the best I’ve had.

Never owned a Glock, so, I can't comment on one.

I own a Shield 2.0 45acp and love it, great carry, great defensive target piece!
Only problem I have found with the Shield is, it just a tad large for pocket carry. I am only comfortable, pocket carrying it, in specific type pants, cargo pockets a must.

Function and accuracy,... is EXCELLENT!!! Handle both and be assured if you choose a Shield, it will never fail you.

That is,... mine has never failed me!

Hot factory hollow points, or standard factory 230grn ball,... hot 230grn, and hot 200grn plated hollow point hand loads,... full metal jacket, and cast lead, all function perfectly in my Shield!

Now that I have gone back to a 1911 primary, the Shield is only carried as a backup,... when I feel the need,... but I would not hesitate to go back to it as a primary, again, if carrying the 1911 isn't feasible!

I have a G26 and didn't have any problems concealing without printing but after picking up a Sig p365 my G26 just sets in the safe, That being said I don't know your build or carry position which all comes into play.
