If you had to choose only 3 from the list below for concealed carry what 3 would you pick?

Kahr K40 elite 98
Glock 23
1911 full size
HK P7M8
Sig 232
HK USP Compact 9mm

Thanks -
 
That is fairly easy for me:

1) 1911 full size
2) Kahr K40 Elite 98
3) Glock 23

Now that is assuming my choices were limited to those particular models. Given a little bit of variation though, I would pick:

1) Kimber Classic Stainless full-size .45 ACP
2) Glock 19 9mm
3) Kahr MK9 Elite 98 9mm

I am not a fan of the .40 S&W cartridge. I don't like the extremely high pressures it operates at. I also think it is a redundant cartridge, not offering me anything not already covered by the .45 and 9mm, both of which have a superb historical century old track record. I am a die hard 1911 .45 ACP man. In the full-size fighting pistol, it has no equal, and the Kimber is the best of the breed. I think the Glock 19 has few equals in its class, offering excellent firepower in a compact package, but only if pre-ban mags are available. The Kahr is a superb gun, but I would opt for the MK series if I already had a mid-sized Glock. The Kahr MK fits on the ankle as good or better than a 5-shot .38 and much better than a Kahr K series. The USP has an absolutely horrific double action trigger pull. The P7 is a very proprietary and very expensive gun. The Sig P232 is chambered for a substandard cartridge.
 
In order (for me):

Glock 23
HK USP Compact 9mm
Kahr K40

The P7M8 is a great gun, but I can't get used to that squeeze-cocker. Tried it several times, and it just doesn't work for me. If it does for you, then it would replace the Kahr as third on that list.
 
K40
G23
1911

The 232 is as big as the Glock or Kahr and less powerful.
The USP Compact is not very compact.
I could not get used to a P7 unless I shot nothing else for several weeks and stayed with it. I like other guns too much to tie myself to one.
 
What 3 CCW's would I choose?

1911 full size
HK P7M8
Sig 232



I don't like the .40 S&W cartridge and there is no such animal as a "compact" USP.
 
Seeing as how...

...three of my most frequently carried guns are:

1) A Springfield Professional
2) A P7M8
3) A G23C

...it makes it easy to answer your question. ;)
 
Tough choice-1911A1 size. Specifically the 1991A1 with plastic parts replaced with steel and the arched steel mainspring housing. Come to think of it, I don't need two more pistols, although 2 extra mags could be handy. Moral? Carry what you shoot best and don't worry about what the other people think of it. It's your life-be there:D
