The 5 Best Guns for Concealed Carry

It's so concealable that if you couldn't find a place to conceal it, the 500 can just make a hole large enough to hide your gun. Now that is concealbility.

It's not just because you are a hardcore P229 shooter, but it's mainly because you are always straight to the point is why I enjoy your videos! Most of KZbin instruction type videos are mainly people who LOVE to hear themselves talk, while their mouths run on and on and on about nothing. Most of what they say can be rendered down to 4 minutes. But your videos are always professional, to the point, and informative. Keep up the good work and thanks for all the great videos. I've learned a lot from your work.

[@douglassmith3901]

I'm right there with you on the SIG SAUER DA/SA pistols; my EDC is the SIG P239 .40 S&W loaded with 175 grain Hornady Critical Duty. Great review!

[@matthewrobinson4323]

Great video. Different preferences than mine, but... My first choice for ccw would be the Smith and Wesson 442/642. Light weight, easy to shoot, easy to learn how to work. Second, Rock Island Armory M 206. All the good stuff about the J Frame in a slightly larger, heavier package which makes it even easier to shoot, plus it holds 6 rounds instead of 5. Third, Smith and Wesson M&P Shield 9 mm. Excellent conceablity, but shoots like a bigger gun than it actually is. Fourth, Walther PK 380. The size of a single stack 9, but chambered in .380 acp makes it very soft shooting, excellent ergonomics make it comfortable to hold, incredibly easy to rack the slide, and it's hammer-fired, not striker-fired. Fifth, a government size M 1911a1. There's something about the 1911 that's just plain magical.

Hey Stack0413, How is the Glock 19 going? Thanks

[@AltonRowell-gb1lb]

I personally recommend a 12 gauge sawed off 4 inch in frount of the chambers. I heated up a Blackhawk holster and forced it in place. I'm useing magmum 3,3/4buckshot . It works great. You don't have to aim. Just pount and pull both trigers.

[@UUJman]

Great point about the U curve with small revolvers

[@Unit38]

My personal choice for #1 is the Shield .40. I keep a 7 rd magazine in it which gives my XL hands more to grip. It's size makes it easily concealable. Good video.

[@AltonRowell-gb1lb]

The number 1 conceal carry gun is the General Electric M134 Minigun. This gets the job done and u wont have customer complaints. I have never seen better stopping power.

Great video. Totally agree about the G42, very comfortable to shoot and very accurate, completely reliable and robust. I like 380 so much I have the G28 and G25 (respectively equivalent of the the G26 and G19 in 9mm) also. Shot placement is for me critical and 380 plenty enough to do the job.

[@darryljenkins3560]

Sig 229...I agree with you totally. It's reliable, ergonomic and sturdy enough to mitigate recoil.

[@keithcarlton9535]

I think your list is okay, and won’t say it is bad. But, one thing I have learned in my 32+ years of law enforcement....the best firearm to carry....the one you have trained with.....and trained with....and trained with. If you have not trained with ANY firearm, and become proficient with ANY firearm, then no firearm is good to carry. Personally, I carry a Springfield 1911 A1. I have carried it open and concealed. I have carried it on duty and off duty. I have trained with this firearm for many, many, many years. Would I say that it is the best firearm for self defense....for me, yes...for others, I really can’t say. It all depends on their level of training. I will say, you did do a good video. I respect you choices of top 5, but I do have to say that they wouldn’t be my top 5. That is the beauty of living in the nation that gives you the freedom to post your own top 5 list.....a freedom I fought for and defended, and will continue to defend...even though I am no longer in the military, or a cop.

He's talking about the pistol best for CONCEALED carry. Of course the pistol you want to carry is the one you've trained the most with. That goes without saying. But he's talking about pistols that are best for concealed in the sense of portability, capacity, etc. Your comment tells me you're the type that is personally opinionated rather than objective. Your comment is actually irrelevant to this video.

I agree, I actually got one of the sig p229 carry sas editions (which apparently was made with parts left over from both 229s and 224s). Mine is SW 40. But I really like the snag resist shape, with the SRT. Great carry gun.

[@l88rbch]

[@th3wacker88]

@Wilhelm Geisler the troll is strong

[@LVLouisCyphre]

I agree with the number one choice. When I started shooting, I fell in love with the SIG P228. The only reason I went to 3rd gen S&W metallic framed pistols is because of the slide mounted and magazine disconnect safety. I have most 3rd gen S&Ws in my collection including an FBI 1076. What I have my sights set on are the new Arex pistols which are SIG clone with the same controls plus a frame mounted safety similar to a Taurus PT-92/99/100/101 or 1911.

[@fthomas2096]

I live in Florida, and we wear t-shirts, and shorts most of the time. How in the world is a huge Sig or Glock more concealable than my S&W Shield 9mm? I totally disagree with you.

[@DesignInNature]

@Zach Florida. Office khakis and light untucked short-sleve shirt all year round. Slim-ish build. Glock19 inside the waistband at a little forward than 3 o'clock every day. Easy peasy.

[@PPISAFETY]

Caleb, this was a very well thought out list, even though other guns could be substituted. I particularly liked your comment about the "U-shaped learning curve" with J-frames. So true. I completely agree with you on the Glock 42 vs. the 43, especially for new shooters. On the S&W M&P, I prefer the 9C because I'm a bit short and it prints less, but I back it up with the full-sized magazine as my spare. The Glock 19 needs no justification to make the list. I carried one daily as my uniform and plain clothes duty weapon and it served me well, and all I ever did to it was change out the sights. You surprised me on the SIG P229, but in thinking about it, I'd tend to agree. I have an early one in 9mm with the 13 shot frame but new night sights that I've owned for a very long time, and head to head with my Glock 19 is slightly more accurate. It just seems to shoot itself, probably owing to a bit more weight than the Glock. Having held a bunch of folks at gunpoint over the years, I do like that long DA trigger when it comes out of the holster. I have another one in .357 SIG that is just as good. Having come up in the 70's and 80's I can well remember a time when if you wanted to carry an auto you had two choices, a 1911 or a Browning Hi Power. Now we have many excellent choices in carry handguns. Thanks for the cool video.

BTW, I hate it when people rag on Glock sights. Glock knows everyone is picky about sights, so in order to lower the cost Glocks are shipped *without* sights. They are shipped with Dovetail Protectors(tm). :-)

[@jeremycrooekr]

Do you shoot the M&P9c that much worse than the full size? I realise there is a trade off, concealed vs. ability to put shots on target, but are you skirting around naming a concealed gun? Is a 4.25 inch gun in that concelaed classification zone? I'm not knocking you, I love your video's and am a fan, but why don't you just go ahead and name the FNX-45? My point is that there has to be a line.

Goes from .95 inches wide to 1.20 inches wide. But you go from 8+1 to 15+1, ambi controls and 4 back straps to change on the grip to fit your hand, and an accessory rail if that last part matters to you. Shield is always a great choice though.

LongRange Bob About half a year ago he made a video about best 1911 for CCW, and he stated in the very beginning of the video that 1911s are not suitable for CCW. And his points are quite reasonable.

[@rachellovelace1974]

LongRange Bob. not everybody is over 6 feet to be ccw a 1911

[@BigChiefTomTom53]

Rachel Lovelace My friend from high school is 5'7/5'8? He carries a Kimber...

[@stefanodogg280]

I CCWed one for 15 years with no issues and carry a lot more firepower these days. I have a new PDW AR15 in .300 that I will be able to carry in a tennis bag with a 60 RD Magpul drum and spare mags

[@mikeysais1980]

surprised about the S&W M&P 9 full size. I have the 9c and the full size mag fits in it too.

[@johnscreekmark]

I thought the title was for “Concealed Carry”...not full-sized guns.

[@dannysees]

Yes and yes... Not as hard to carry a 15rd compact pistol as people think, especially appendix. I carry a P99/Q often and even in shorts and t-shirt, including ones very fit 19yo me purchased several years ago, it is comfy and concealed. A tiny 9mm or j frame is more comfy throughout the day but reliability and accurate hits are absolute top priority.

[@no_regerts5176]

1 short of having every gun in this video. I don’t have any small single stack pistols yet.

[@owenhiber4492]

johnscreekmark you're clueless.

[@tacticalquest4909]

And have my Sig P226 Legion with 20 round mags for SHTF set up.... love your videos thanks

[@yt_life1610]

Did u say p229 :-/ as #1 wt .. I thought you were a genius after listening to your comments regarding the G42 then I see the full size M&P and then your #1 I'm so confused here I thought I clicked on a best for carry video???

[@kykrazy6050]

Never saw the Sig comin into play but Sig = quality, dependability, overall GREAT WEAPON!!!! GREAT REVIEW! !!! Keep em comin brother.

[@sms9106]

[@07roadking43]

[@leloodallasmultipass]

[@whitemoney1315]

I owned a gen 4 glock 19 I put tru glow night sights and put a butt plug to keep dirt and debri out plus the plugs help on sliding a magazine in alote quicker and smoother.

[@patrickkelly5590]

Great video and good recommendations, but lose the pornstache bro. :)

[@josephfetz1748]

I have a P229 .40 that I originally bought for concealed carry many years ago, and it was the one that I used everyday; my workhorse (I bought it mostly because it was similar to the DA/SA M9 that I'd trained on, but much better in every way; it's a fantastic gun that shoots like a laser). Nowadays I prefer a smaller gun that fits into a pocket but that can also shoot magnum loads, so I've switched to revolvers altogether for carry (but I still always keep my P229 very close at hand). I'll still carry the P229, but only in jacket/coat weather. In the summertime, LCR or Rhino in .357 Mag is good for me (my girl carries my LCR mostly these days, so I put some good .38 Specials in it for her; Rhino in full .357 Mag for me). Between the two of us, there are more than enough rounds to take care of most situations with reloads (especially considering that the grand majority of civilian confrontations are with only one or two foes). If in a combat situation I ever need a supplement sidearm to take over for my rifle, then a Sig P220* (.45 auto), P226, or P229 will do the trick (.40 for me, 9mm for her). *the P220 only comes in .45 or 10mm; I prefer the .45 version of this gun. As for the P226 and the P229, most folks cannot handle the "pop" of the .40 vs the 9mm, but I actually prefer the .40 when it comes to getting back on target.

[@AJ-yb2pc]

m&p full size over m&p 9c... I'm 6'2 220lbs. I wouldn't cc a full size firearm unless its coat weather. too much print.

[@brandonh4527]

I feel the compact compared to the full size, in most cases are negligible differences in size, so I tend to gravitate towards full sized, most of the time. I generally use the P226, G19, and 1911 5' government. I'm 5'5" ~160lbs

[@andrewsanford2020]

I appendix carry that exact m&p and I live in Florida and wear normal sized clothes. And I'm 6foot 170 lbs and I don't print hardly at all.

[@sidviscous5959]

that's cuz they're all on "opioids"

[@08focus08]

Nicholas Maletto lol it's so true. I concealed carry my 5.5" S&W 629 44 mag for months and no one said anything. It doesn't matter how big the (hand) gun is, if you want to CC it and are dedicated enough to do it, anything is possible.

[@cjhudson419]

A J im 6 3 248 and ill carry a colt m1911 anywhere

[@matthewrobinson4323]

For my money, a snub nose revolver is the best choice for concealed carry. That's not to put down the other guns you listed, or anyone else's preferences, but I feel a snub conceals better, carries more easily, is more intimidating when viewed from the front, and is inherently more accurate than a semi-auto, because the barrel is rigidly affixed to the frame.

[@jam3sdav1s117]

Or be a real man and carry a .45 1911.

[@ZSmith-yy4lv]

You stupid child. If you don’t carry a desert eagle, you have no right to call yourself a real patriot.

[@shaneluke1608]

I concur with the Sig P229. Have one that I absolutely love.

[@jstnCrawford814]

Thats like just your opinion man

[@heychupacabras]

Dios mio, man!

[@stevenpike3048]

....lol.." The big labowski "

[@jdm4569]

I agree, the sig p229 is what I carry for personal defense and I love the da/sa. I use to carry an xdm .40 but I wasn't comfortable carrying with one in the chamber for fear of shooting myself ( some people are ok doing it but Im not) and I wasn't comfortable walking around without one in the chamber so the sig p229 da/sa fit the bill

[@nrm8831]

The Moustache! lol

[@protectiverailroaddad7541]

Nicholas Maletto unfortunately that's the first thing I noticed when I played this video lol. There's rules to mustaches, 1. Don't have a bushy mustache with no beard. 2. Don't have a bald head with just a mustache. 3. Don't have a mustache that starts at the nostrils with no other facial hair. 4. Don't have a mustache that hangs over the lip. 5. Don't just have a mustache alone Lol jk. That mustache has to go lol

[@MrRevolver]

Jeremy Jones my mustache gives me power

[@protectiverailroaddad7541]

[@akshooter762]

didn't know this was a dating site.....

[@catlover1986]

He has a similar mustache to a corporal we had, named "Harry McNutt". He had a mustache and you'd get in trouble if you smirked when he said his name.

[@TexasGunDude]

All great choices. Lately, I've been carrying a CZ 75 compact that's been to the custom shop. It's a little thinner than the Glock 19 and Sig P229 although I own both of those as well. Only downside is you have to manually decock which can be an issue with improper training.

[@sojourn1544]

can't beat a glock 26......imo

[@southfloridasnow9948]

unless it's a glock 23

[@zackiinu7194]

Glock 26 thankyouverymuch.

[@milehighac2738]

The 19 does both perfectly!

[@whoisbledsoe1957]

Glocks are shitty

[@AltonRowell-gb1lb]

I find this man's vidios enjoyable and entertaining.

[@RumblestripDotNet]

P229 over a CZ75 variant, interesting. but dat bore height brah!

[@Atka59]

For me the versatility of a compact is essential, I carry the Springfield XDM 9mm compact. When concealment and weight are the most important considerations the short 13 round mag really reduces the angular size of the weapon while still providing enough rounds for almost any altercation. When the weather is cooler and I am not carrying all day the larger mag turns the gun full size feeling, though with the 3.8" barrel still concealable, and with a 19 round capacity as icing. My accuracy is not substantially better with a 4.5" barrel anyway, and the 3.8 is match grade as well. Other benefits are striker fire, great skin purchase when wet, visual and tactile notification of a cocked striker, and the excellent palm safety. The only negatives are the stock sights are extremely difficult to remove, and for medium to small hands thumb actuation of the stock mag release requires contortion or a longer button, though the trigger finger can work the other side of the stock button easily. That's my 2, or more like 20 cents worth. Hope that helps someone on the fence.

[@cjkatbruno]

I stoped watching after I couldn't hear him and didn't want to turn up volume and saw gun aimed at his penis

[@MrRevolver]

cjkatbruno and yet you still commented...

[@bobjohnson3077]

Didn't matter. Nutless wonder...

[@hankfreeman773]

Enjoyed your assessment... I have chosen the Taurus 709 Slim blue with magazine extension for a better grip. I am 6'3" heavy and there is no way you ever see this weapon on me and in my pocket using the Tagua Gunleather Taurus 709 Slim Inside Pants Gun Holster, Black, Right Hand" .. I wanted the single stack magazine, which is why I chose it over the Taurus G2 Millennium at time of purchase, for I already have your #2 (Glock 19 gen 4). Bottom Line: I know I can deter or down my target with 7 rounds. I also carry a second mag. Return comment are welcome

[@damiencampbell8155]

My six year old daughter says "easy peasy lemon squeezy" that's the only part I liked about this video. Oh, and the comments hilarious, arguing about how good you are!... like my job right now, fighting (MMA) usually when someone talks about being tough, they're usually a big pussy!. Same thing about having a Big D*** when I was in high school, guys that talked about it all the time, probably had a baby penis lol. Have some humility man!

[@MrRevolver]

+Damien Campbell I tried that once. It didn't take. And when I'm around real, actual point, I don't talk shit about how good I am. I prefer to run my gun, not my mouth. But everyone on KZbin thinks they're a goddamn ninja superstar gunfighter, when most of them have never taken a class or shot a match. So if someone wants to talk shit, I'm more than happy to put my qualifications out there. So far no one's stepped up and taken the challenge, which tells me that people just want to talk shit and no one actually wants to run their gun. Sad.

[@damiencampbell8155]

Yea bro, that's true people suck some times. I know what you mean though, when it comes to knowing what you are doing and loving what you do and being confident in it! People want to run their mouth online. I guess I would be just like you in that area, because when you know you've worked really hard to get where you are, then some Uneducated smart mouth who's shot a 12 gauge once or twice talks shit! But never backs it up. I would love to see someone actually take you up on one of your challenges. That would be great entertainment right there! I bet most of them guys would suck though. Anyway brother, keep shootin straight and stay safe!
