I agree that the Shield is a nice piece for carry, but I switched from it to the S&W CSX. The metal makes it slightly heavier, but the geometry and size are nice for carrying.
Good video and very informative! The Sig P365 was the first gun I ever purchased and was my carry gun until I purchased the P365 X-Macro. I still use it and would recommend it to anyone looking for a 9mm to conceal carry. Great gun, very reliable and accurate!
I love my Hellcat with the 11 round magazine & pinky extension for conceal carry. That's 12 rounds in an extremely reliable pistol that had no problems eating up & spitting out several different types & makes of 9 mm ammo. Love it! ❤️
I love the VP9 and have 3 of them including the PV9SK. It has a great trigger and feels better in my hand than my Sig 365X, even with the extended mag. Another favorite that I've been carrying is the S&W Shield+.
I have a Canik Elite Combat and love it but another great pistol is any Shadow Systems 920 Series , my favorites are the MR 920 P and the XR 920 P both are completely set up out of the box and need nothing more than a optic if that's your preference .
The fn compact mre is hands down the best. I know people like to hate on fn for various glaring reasons. But boy does it carry well and do its job better than most. I’m still new to this world and tested a lot of different pistols and the clear winner was the fn, at least for me.
I’ve been carrying a hellcat pro for over a year now. It’s the best concealed carry weapon for me. I have a decent size gut and I can drive with it on me. 15+1, red dot and I’m accurate with it.
@@nathanhamberg6733the hellcat pro being only 1” wide will help you with your gut I have a decent sized gut been needing to lose and from my experience the narrower the pistol, the easier to be comfortable
I carry the Hellcat Pro w SMSC optic & it's loaded with 17+1 of G9 Defense "Woodsman" rounds. These bullets create wound channels the size of a bowling ball! Check them out.
@@michaellewis1844 I carry hot underwood defense rounds. They don’t smoke and they’re fast. Always looking for hot ammo thanks for the tip! Gonna check them out. Hate loading the small mags. Got an Uplula mag loader, big difference. I have a sure fire XTC on the small HC, and the streamlite TLR-7a on the pro. Both good, compact.
I'm not.really a fanboy, but I'll always trust in Glock. I just got a new Glock 21 Gen5 in 45 caliber for my bedside. I Cary a Glock 43x Mos for edc but also swap out my Sig Sauer P365 X-Macro in rotation also. But I've put 1500 rounds through my Glock without a problem. I've put around 1000 through the Sig Sauer P365 X-Macro and had 2 flaws. So if I'm betting my life I go with glock. 👍
There is no reproach for liking Glocks. They are the simplest, easiest to disassemble/reassemble, most affordable firearm available with an outstanding reputation for durability, reliability, and aftermarket upgrade parts. And my Kydex iwb holster is perfect for my Glock 23. Most of the time I am unaware of it when I carry.
Sig over Glock any day.. anytime. I switch between my 2 different P365s and my INCREDIBLE Sig P229 SAO LEGION. Steel over plastic..man up. it aint that heavy. Even my CZ75 D compact i will carry before a Glock.. GOOD LUCK. pew pew pew🔫🔫🔫

Not a Glock fan boy in here as well. Over the years, I have managed to accumulate a number of guns from all the big names, HK, Sig, Beretta, CZ, DW, Springfield. From my collection of 40 handguns, if I can only have one, I may have to go with my Glock 19.
Why would anyone have a Staccato for a CCW? You do know if there is a defence shooting, you're losing that gun for months if you even get it back at all.
I never did CC. I just scare the hell out of people. That’s going to change, though. Nice review. You can tell in this video that that P365 recoil is very minimal, compared to the others.
JUST REMEMBER and God for bid, if you have to protect yourself or family you could possibly never get it back once you hand it over to law enforcement.. I would suggest a very reliable but not extremely expensive gun for You're EDC.. Unless money mean nothing to you but i would dare say that it does to most including myself...🤝🇺🇸👍
When reviewing 2 points to include: Is the gun left handed shooter friendly? ( reversible mag release) All of these types of videos are by experienced / pro shooters. You need to put each gun in a newbie’s and small relatively inexperienced womans’s or small man’s hands and include their feedback. All of the guns mentioned are excellent guns, but may not be right for everyone. This vid will sell a lot of guns that will be rarely fired because the chosen gun is nuot good for the specific shooter.
Out of the SIG 365, X, XL & MAGRO... GLOCK 43X & 45MOS... KIMBER MICRO 9... & the SMITH & WESSON SHIELD the MACRO is by FAR... THE BEST CONCEAL CARRY GUN EVER MADE!!!
But none of them are under $200...... bummer 😕 I still have to buy eggs and bread sooooooooooooo a $500-$2000 handgun is not in my forecast as of right now.
First of all, you are not even comparing the manufacturers concealed carry guns. For example, you are highlighting the Walter PDP, which is nowhere near the concealment of the Walter PPS. This is more of a marketing ad video than a real presentation of a dominant concealed carry firearm.
This is AI BS the micro 9s like the Sig P365 barely meet the requirements. The Ruger 380 max along with S&W lightweight revolvers excel here. If you can’t CCW holstered in your front pocket it isn’t a real concealed carry gun.
You lose all credibility with me when your first gun that will dominate CCW is a $2k gun that less than 1% of concealed carriers will even buy let alone carry daily! Ridiculous!!! I turned the video off after typing this and didn’t even see weapon 2!
I enjoy and trust my 365x macro comp. It's in the sweet spot cost wise because I can shoot and practice on the range for fun but still not so expensive that if I were have to surrender it I could go out and get another.
My top 5 1. Walther pdp 2. Sig p365 xmacro (legion is cooler, but heavier) 3. Glock 43x 4. S&w mp 2.0 compact 5. Springfield hellcat Honorable mention: s&w shield plus
Glocks are outdated. They have horrible sights, triggers, guide rods, grip angle, and ergonomics. And they won't innovate or come out with anything new. And they aren't even the most reliable anymore. They are phasing themselves out.
I just bought a hellcat pro. Took my p365 xl to the range and my son brought his hellcat. I bought a hellcat pro that day lol. The grip on the 365xl is a little too thin for me. Might get a macro though.
Sig P365XL with a TLR-6 weapon light. Not to mention the new 17 round mags that go with any P365 model. Add a DPM recoil reducer and you have one very accurate and reliable sidearm. I prefer Sig Night Sites, but others prefer to add a red dot.
I have not had the same, positive, experience with the P365. I have gone to the Glock 43X with the available 15 round mags from Shield Arms and PSA. I have obtained the Springfield HellCat Pro with 17 round mags as an option.
10000000% agree I own three Canik firearms and carry the mete everyday. Love what there doing about to purchase my next one and there about to be made in USA
My carry is sig p365. i have 2. lost first one while deer hunting found it 4 months later but had bought another during that time. still carry the one I lost. it was a little rusted. didnt fire first round but did the rest so that was enough for me to keep. cleaned it up and put new one in the safe. i love my g19 and PDP but i carry appendix and just not comfortable. My opinion the best carry gun is what you can afford and shoot well.
Do u know or have an issue with it? Mine shoots about 8 inches high? Love the gun but took it out and Red dot was dead and factory sights it shoots about 6-8 inches high
I'm surprised I don't see the Glock 43x on this list... Does anyone have any thoughts on that one...? (pros / cons / etc) I've been considering the G43x or a Canik Mete MC9 (I did't see that on this list either)...
@@GWM9930 Glock 43/43X Springfield Hellcat and HC Pro Sig Sauer 365 X Macro would be my recommendations. I personally carry The 43X MOS…I’m just a Glock guy, I wrap the grip in hockey stick tape and it’s perfect. 👍🏻

S&W Shield Plus, Quality, Dependable, Accurate, Affordable, definitely makes my top 5!
It really can’t be beat especially for the price. Amazing trigger and overall feel. Might buy another one that is optics ready
I have both the Hellcat and m&p shield plus and I must say I like the M&P shield feels great in the hand and is on point.
The shield + is my ccw

Have you've seen the x-5 legion? I'm torn btwn the 365 x-5 legion and the 320 axg legion even looking externally at the new legion style 226
I love the VP9 and have 3 of them including the PV9SK. It has a great trigger and feels better in my hand than my Sig 365X, even with the extended mag.
Another favorite that I've been carrying is the S&W Shield+.
The Canik MC9 should be on this list. I got one for CCW in NJ and it's a great gun. Smooth, reliable and accurate.

P365 axg legion. Thats the play.
Im rolling around with my glock 19 with a red dot in the fall winter and spring, and i pocket carry a glock 42 in gym shorts in the summer
Why is the VP9SK on this list? That’s not new. I’m more curious about the VP9cc to come out. That checks all the boxes.
Yes it does. And I'm only here to see if anyone is talking about it yet.

the MACRO is by FAR... THE BEST CONCEAL CARRY GUN EVER MADE!!!
