Conceal and carry recommendations

[JustThisGuy]

Walther PPS 9mm. Very concealable, very light, very accurate, fits medium to larger hands as well as those with smaller hands using 6, 7 or 8 round magazines (+1 in the chamber).

Best trigger on any striker-fired gun ever. Very reasonable price. MSRP $599, available everywhere for about $525~$550. Everyone who owns one loves it.

Wow...great info...

What's the thoughts about buying a used pistol? My wife and I aren't sure if that's a good idea or not since we're not experts in what to look for.

Also,

I notice no one really mentioned any CZ or Taurus pistols...any reason why?

CZ's are great but the 75B is too big and heavy for me as an everyday carry gun... You might want to consider some of their smaller models (though they don't have a single stack).

Taurus doesn't have a great reputation for reliability/durability... There's reams of net testimony regarding it... They're kind of a gamble... Why gamble?

As I've said on here many times, I don't feel a need to lug a double-stack gun around every day. To me, 7+1 9mm's (as in Kahr CW9 or S&W Shield in your price range) is plenty for me as an average non-LEO citizen living in an average city. Most SD exchanges are less than 3 shots fired.

The important part is to actually carry. From what I read on here, a lot of people, as the years roll on, end up carrying smaller/lighter guns than they did at first mostly because they're easier to conceal and more comfortable.

CWKahrFan....good points.

I added the 2 choices you gave to my list to review and look at.

Any advice on the Sig Sauer Pro SP2022? Anyone have personal experience with this pistol?

I also recommend looking at a Ruger SR9C, it can't hurt to hold one and feel it and see if you like it.
