Wanted to know different views of the different conceal guns. Have been looking at the Sig and a Bodyguard in .380. One thing I was wondering was trigger pull. If you have one for sale, please let me know also.

I've been extremely pleased with my smith and Wesson shield. Very concealable, and I don't feel like I had to sacrifice power with 7+1 or 6+1 of .40 depending on magazine.

+1 for the shield. It conceals really well, but is still easy to shoot. I have trouble with the smaller .380s because I can't grip them right.

Shield is a fantastic carry gun... My wife and I both carry one.

For a pocket gun the bodyguard is a great little gun with a terrible trigger.

I can pocket carry my shield, and do regularly in a little slip holster, but it does print a little bit there. Iwb it completely disappears.

I cary a springfield xd sc daily, a kimber custom II in the months that I wear a coat and can conceal a shoulder holster. My dad just got a glock 42 and it fits amazing in the pocket, feels same size as a 938 but half the price. Wife and mom carry a Ruger and its alright but I don't care much for the trigger

My Glock 42 is as accurate as my Glock 21. No FTF as of yet. Trijicon night sights are also available.

I carried a Glock 19 concealed in a Galco inside the pant holster when I worked narcotics and nobody ever saw it that said anything. I recommend Corbon ammunition. You need quality ammunition if you're carrying a small caliber weapon with low capacity.

I'm reading that funny scared

Did no one see it? or did anyone who saw not get a chance to say anything? grin

Oh, and +1 on the g19, I like the 23 but the 19 is just as good. Either is as easy/hard to canceal as the 26/27 anyway.

I have the Bodyguard in .380. Nice pistol. Conceal's well. The trigger pull is absolutely horrible, which probably explains why I couldn't sell it here. smile

Or, I was overpriced.

Anyway. There is no easy answer to your question. J frame Airweight/ankle rig is one of my fav's.

Find out what firearm/holster combo works best for you and run with it.

I carry a Ruger LC9 with the DAO trigger, but they just came out with a striker-fired version that has a much lighter trigger.

LOL, what I was trying to say was if anybody saw it they didn't saw anything to me.

I love my Shield 9mm. With a good leather/kydex IWB holster I can carry it wearing pretty much anything and it is virtually invisible. Holds its own in IDPA too!

If you're partial to Glocks I would hold out for the single stack 9mm that is coming soon.

Originally bought myself the Sig P238 and I LOVED IT.. But the GF handled it so well I had to give it to her. It's incredibly tough, reliable and accurate, especially for such a small weapon! I went back and bought myself the M&P shield in 9mm.. I love that gun too but it's not nearly as smooth as the Sig.

Both great weapons. Very slim and compact and VERY reliable!
