Best small gun for CCW?

[Jose]

I'd pimp either that Defender or those Gemini Customs

[Jimbo]

Is there a price point?

The ccw 1911s can get really pricey. Speaking of pricey, I looked at one of these recently.

Is there a price point? Because I have a Colt New Agent .45 that I love, but it's on the higher end as far as price.

Most under rated carry pistol. I love it

Damn, they're practically giving them away at that point

The M&Ps, and several other S&Ws are $75 off and have the $75 rebate at Cabelas. $150 off, even though you have to wait a few weeks for the rebate is pretty nice. The Performance Center seems pretty nice, but have not shot it yet.

I feel like the Springfield XD with the Gear Up promo is the best deal going for a quality carry piece. Polished internals, fiber optic front sights, you end up with 6 mags (two 6 rnd and four 7 rnd), a 2 mag holster, and an OWB holster. I got an XD9 a few months ago and it carries and shoots nice.

"Polished internals" doesn't mean a ton when it comes to modern tupperware. Most of them have 30ish parts total, including the magazine parts. The trigger is a transfer bar that moves a shelf and lets the striker fall. They're not complicated DA/SA stuff with a ton of parts that have to have a silky smooth interface with each other.

Smith and Wesson has a $75 rebate going on with their M&P Shield until June 30th. Under $300 after rebate for a decent carry gun.

I snagged a used shield for cheap the other day and liked it a lot. Shot perfect first time I took it out.

All negligent discharges.

I have a siderlock trigger on my Glock 43 for this exact reason.

Not for everyone, and you have to train with it, but it makes me feel better about carrying it.

I need to look into this. I don't carry if there is a place I need to go where guns are not allowed. I can't in good conscience keep one in a car unattended.

They're $300 but they're built like a tank.

You realize you are planning for a gun being stolen right? You could always get a console vault.

I usually try to take it with me but that is not always the case. I do always take it in at night. I agree with what you are saying.
