looking for a good carry gun myself. i checked out the sig p938. what do you guys think of it? i also looked at the diamondback 9mm. anyone have any thoughts on it?

just bought a s&w m&p 9c. much more comfortable in hand than the shield,and its a double stack

This depends on how your your size and body is shaped. Im 5'6 150 lbs and a Glock 26 is kinda thick and I can feel the weight after long hours of carrying. I'd say go for the Shield.

My votes for the KAHR CW 9

i personally carry...dont laugh......my ol Hi Point compact 9! stop laughing....im serious. ive tried other guns and kept going back to this one. its not pretty by any means, but its reliable, just the right size for me and if i ever need a hammer, i got one on me! i have a bersa 9 in my wifes truck and a sig 9 in my truck, but i just seem to like carrying the hi point more than those

I carry a Taurus PT709 and really like it.

My 9mm carry is a H&K P2000SK. It is crazy comfortable and a great shooter. I am partial to the H&K's for their superior workmanship on their firearms. You will love this one. A little pricier than a Glock 19 for sure, but by far a better made weapon.

I'm carrying a Kahr PM9 after I did the comparisons below. This was just my quick and dirty comparison but I think it is reasonably accurate.

Best advice

Happy with my CZ-75 P01 in 9mm.

One you can control as good as your cell phone.

Tried a ton of them
Settled on a Gen 3 G19 with a trigger and sight upgrade

Absolutely love my EMP also. Though I don't CC it (no license), it shoots wonderfully, is accurate as heck, and hasn't had a single malfunction yet several hundred rounds in.

I like my G26 for 9mm carry. It can be made as big or as small as I want. With a simple magazine and sleeve I can carry it as a G26, a G19, a G17 or I can go all out if I think I might run into a herd of zombies.

H&K P7M8

I have had the Kimber solo now for a week or two and I like it. Not too heavy and its easy to carry. I've only shot 150 rounds or so and it worked great...However the first 100 happen to be Winchester ranger ammo and that little gun has a bit of a kick to her thats for sure! I shot 50 more ball ammo and it was fine. All in all a great little gun.

I've really been digging my shield!

I went in this order
Glock 19
Glock 26
H&K P2000SK
Springfield EMP
Kimber Solo
M&P Shield.

The last 3 were my favorites. I like the Solo a lot, but the shield I handled better and it conceals almost as well.

What holster is that?

Comp-tac MTAC

Love my PT740.

My 9mm Nighthawk Talon Bobtail with Speer Gold Dot 124gr loaded. About the same dimensions at a Glock 19 but what an incredible shooter. Too good to be a safe queen...

Bump it up a bit to the Kimber CDP Ultra in 45acp. The carry melt is great. I've carried a concealed weapon since the late 1960's and this is one of the most, if not the most, comfortable of all to carry. Get the Galco pre curved belt and their smallest little inside the belt carry holster, you never know you have it on you. 25 oz empty.

This is a SWEET carry 9
Though it gets used more for competition use these days.
It does a GREAT role at both carry and comp

Get the largest capacity weapon you can comfortably carry. With that said I carried a Glock 19 and 23 for 5 years and recently switched to the smaller Glock 26. I didn't realize what a big difference it would be. I am 500% more comfortable carrying the 26 but wish I would have gone for the 27 in .40 S&W instead. Learn to accept the fact that no matter what you buy you will always want something different and will never end your search for the perfect carry weapon.

I am 100% agree with statement about M&P Shield, like you I do not have one yet (on the waiting list in Cabelas to get one), but I have handled one and I like it a lot..
Also did very extensive reading\research and I could not find one negative review about this gun.
