What to do, what to do 🤔

[Jerzees]

I would say…3 models…
If you carry appendix your choice might be P365X

[Jerzees]

@ScottH,

I just came in my mind through all handguns I’ve valued so far and there’s another option for you.
I don’t know if you would be interested in something uncommon… but this is one of few underestimated pistols on the market, especially this model, thinking about carrying and self defence.

I think I would list it just behind P365X, but above M&P Shield and Ruger MAX.

[ScottH]

Oh wow, not familiar with that one. I’ll do some research. Tha k you for the suggestion

[Alces_Americanus]

Oh, the paradox of choice. Beware!

[Jerzees]

But you will have to find local dealer and feel the pistol in hand.
It is hard to explain, but the grip is fantastic, mag release doesn’t require to re-adjust hand everytime you want to press it.
Trigger is close to Glock’s but is flat and wide, which force the finger to “finish flat” - what is the most important part of accurate shot.
Simple take down force to clean and lube striker and striker channel and that’s the reason I sometimes recommend this pistol for new shooters - know the firearm and its each working part.

Yeah… truly

Then there is the Kimber Ultra Carry 2

[Alces_Americanus]

Oh yeah, that reminds me. Sig has a flat trigger for the P365 too. You know, in case you didn’t have enough to think about yet.

[Jerzees]

That’s why I’ve been mentioning P365X model… it comes with flat trigger.
I love only 2 types of trigger - 1911 trigger or flat trigger.

Oh, the paradox of choice . Beware!

A Pair of Glocks…another consideration

[Alces_Americanus]

My macaw told me he saw what you did there (my parrot talks).

[ScottH]

Lol

@ScottH
That’s kind of a bias to me. Even though the Sig Legion is a fantastic firearm you are asking a Smith&Wesson M&P Shield Plus carrier for some advice on a possible switch to the Shield Plus. The Ruger Max 9 is also a great gun. I can tell you either way you can’t go wrong with either. Go to the range and shoot them both. The improved trigger on the Shield Plus may be all you need to change your mind or the increased magazine capacity. Which ever you choose I ain’t gonna be mad you. Let me know either way what you go with and why.

[ScottH]

Roger that @Johnnyq60 I’m still in research mode so it might be a little while before I …uh…pull the trigger on it

[Jerzees]

@ScottH

A Pair of Glocks…

please don’t destroy such nice and creative conversation…

[ScottH]

I can’t resist a good pun.

[Jerzees]

@ScottH

another consideration

a pair of … slippers

[Johnnyq60]

@ScottH ,
@Jerzees makes a good recommendation, I agree, that Mossberg looks like an excellent gun. There are some pretty good reviews on youtube regarding the Mossberg MC2. Check out this one but there are several. NEW Mossberg MC2c Ultra-slim 13+1 Doublestack 9mm! - YouTube

@Jerzees

a pair of … slippers

Before we go down this slippery slope, I think it’s wise that we paws, er, pause to reassess.

[Jerzees]

@Alces_Americanus

reassess

Good idea… let’s try to hit the answer and solve @ScottH’s dilemma.

oopssss…

Here we go…

I have been carrying either a G19 or 26 for a few years. I like the purchase of both when drawing, the weight, and capacity of each. The smaller micros I just didn’t feel good carrying since I felt as though I almost had to search for the grip when drawing.
