Need a new concealed carry piece got it narrowed to 2? Help

[Yondering]

Well I couldnt decide so I got both, had to make some sacrifices but came up with enough to get em.

That is always the right answer! Especially in today's political climate with potential bans looming. Good choice!

Where did you end up purchasing them at?

HK VP9 or Glock 19 Gen 5? Why???  I like the ergonomics of the HK but the reliability of the Glock

I have theG19x and the VP9. I’m a big fan of Glock, but I get tighter groups with the VP9 and it’s a more comfortable EDC.

If you could shoot them sxs I would. But with the glocks I own, I still prefer the HK

Take a look at the Springfield XD Mod.2 9mm. Really good reviews. I'm looking towards the 10mm for my next gun. The reviews favor it over the Glock 20.

Glock is the iPhone of the gun world.

This is true in a good way, and not just because of the aftermarket support; their reputation for dependability is well deserved. A carry gun shouldn't need to be special or different, quite the opposite IMO. Save the special and unique guns for the range toys (not saying there's anything wrong with those, I have plenty), the carry gun is a tool and needs to be as proven and dependable as grampa's old hammer.

I agree a weapon is a tool and Glock used to be top notch. Carried one for years even owned 3 at one point. However they have literally done nothing significant since they put a rail on them. What gen 5 now? I can pick up a gen 1 and and gen 5 and if it weren't for the grip texture there would be 0 difference in performance.

Since everyone makes a polymer striker gun now I personally think glock is in the dust. Other companies have tried different things and I now think make better out of the box guns than glocks.

I agree up to the point where you say there are better polymer striker guns. I honestly don't think it matters much anymore. Glock, XD, FN9, Storm etc etc etc.

They are all so reliable and similar that they are almost boring

I when I say "better" I mean driving more innovation. Like Sig p320 with the modular trigger system, or others with more capacity, or recoil systems, RMR cuts ect. Look at a glock 17 and compare it to the Canik TP9SFX. look at everything it comes with compared to the glock. I just feel other companies are at least TRYING where Glock just keeps the same ol same ol. If they don't innovate soon, I feel they'll start getting replaced.

Walther PPQ, exact same as HK but with a better trigger and cost less. Glocks are fine and there is nothing wrong with them, I just can't justify the price when there are guns that don't need any aftermarket parts to feel perfect. If you can't pick which one, go a range, rent them and see which one you like better. In the end it's up to you.

I am an owner of a Walther PPQ. Without a doubt the finest pistol I have ever fired. Find a range that has one and fire it. You will not be disappointed.

I prefer Glock 21 .45, I've carried a Glock for 27yrs and prefer the trigger pull over all others.  The Glock is dependable easy to take apart and clean and very accurate.

When I'm looking for a good reliable tool, I don't care about "driving innovation" or all the accessories it comes with, I want something that works well and is proven and reliable. Some of you guys are funny.

[Mongo Hunter]

so making advancements in firearms technology is unimportant to you? You carry a flint lock then right?

[Yondering]

Sure, you figured it out.

Those polymer guns are like the Toyota Camry of the gun world.
Some people think they're great, some people think they're dull, boring, basic, overrated.
Pegasus, if you think the Walther PPQ is the finest pistol you've ever fired, somebody needs to get a nice 1911 in your hands.

[Alchase]

Honestly, there are very few guns that would not do as a conceal carry.
So all this is like a Ford vs Chevy vs Dodge argument everyone likes what they carry.

But obviously if you don’t carry what I do you are an idiot, duh 

 

I have had many different carry guns, they all served the need.

I am former military and I have certainly fired the 1911(.45). I found it clumsy and difficult to use even though I could shoot expert with it. I saw many others struggle to shoot it. I never liked the grip safety. It was designed as a safety for the US Calvary to keep them from shooting themselves or their horse while astride a horse especially while reloading. It has no comparison to my Walther PPQ in my opinion. Everyone is different with what works for them.
