I love my Beretta 92FS and it loves me. I never use the safety, 10,500 rounds down range, flawless.
Best home defense ccw combo
- Thread starter epl1007
- Start date
I would start with a Glock 26. Carry it for a while. If you find it too big, get a smaller pistol for CCW and add a mag extension to the glock for home defense.
==============
I started out CC with a Glock 19 sized pistol (Sig P6, Walther P99) and now I CC a Kahr K9. Even with the K9 size, there are days when I wished it is an MK9.
The kahr K9 is a 7+1 9mm. When at home sometimes I switch to the 8 round mags to give 8+1.

You might consider a CZ P-07 -- MSRP is 20% less than the G19, it's slightly larger, but more accurate and a safer design. It comes with a decocker, but parts for converting to a safety are included (which you don't want). It's railed so you can hang a light or laser on it at home, and its mag holds one additional round.
Don't listen to the people saying it's uncomfortable to carry a double stack everyday. I carry a 26 everyday. I would say the most important thing is get a good kydex holster, and a good belt. I like the 5.11 TDU, and it's only $15.
Also carry a Glock 19 mag in my pocket. I don't carry my 19 everyday because I like to wear Tshirts.

Thats the dilemna, comfort vs. capacity and to a certain degree shootability/accuracy. Speaking for myself, I am not as good of a shot with the CM9 that replaced my Glock and I am down 4 rounds compared to the 26 but comfort won out for me in the end. There is always a give and take.
I bought it from http://redlineconcealmentholsters.com it's been a great holster. I was using a hybrid from galco, but like the "taco" a lot better. Only complaint is it took 2-3 weeks to get in.

You might check out a gun like the Walther PPS. The magazines use grip extensions. It comes with two different sizes and there is a third you can find aftermarket. It lets the gun serve dual purposes as either very concealable or surprisingly good for its size on the range. It has a Glock-style trigger that arguably does it better than Glock. It also has no manual safety.
Of course, Walther makes some excellent full-size 9mms. I'm not sure which ones come with the same paddle release. A paddle release might seem strange at first but it has its advantages. I definitely recommend checking it out if you get the chance.

I understand and tend to agree to a point, but gotta make something clear: What your life depends on is your level of training...essentially muscle memory built from lots of repetition. If you train as you should, you won't be fiddling with that safety when the stress hits and your mind turns to mush...your muscle memory will take over and see you through. IMO the responsibility to train to an acceptable level of competency comes with the responsibility you accept when you carry a firearm. There are many reasons pro and con concerning safety systems, but this notion that you will forget about it indicates to me someone who isn't committed to training with their firearm. Please, don't be that guy or gal - it's that lack of training that might cost you your life, not that little piece of metal or plastic. Thanks.
