Which .40 S&W Concealed Carry Handgun?

[Smith and Wesson]

I'm looking for a compact .40 S&W concealed carry pistol and I would like to know your thoughts.

 

[Snyper]

Mine's not on the list
Glock 23

 

[subhuman]

off of your list the Shield with the 8 round mags, my preference the G23

Mine is not on your list. Although it is called a sub-compact, it is more of a compact in size, weight, and increased capacity.
Springfield XD40 Sub-Compact.

Walther PPS in 40SW, thin, accurate and a great shooter.

 

[Evil Monkey]

I love my brothers M&P40 Shield, but I would also go with a G27.

 

[tomrkba]

Rent all of them and buy the one you like best.

 

[Shadi Khalil]

I choose the Sheild but would prefer the the compact.

I have experience with that. It's a chunk. 2 lbs loaded, so don't think you'll be able to pocket carry it.

 

[Noreaster]

Khar CM40, but in regards to your list the G27.

Not a Glock fan and bought my 27 on a whim? I would not give it up except for a new one which I really don't need!
The 27 fits my hand well and was very accurate right out of the box.
Still not a big Glock fan though!

I chose the Shield for thinness and comfort of carry...even though my EDC is a full sized M&P. Capacity can be made up for by carrying an extra mag (not to mention that I think an extra mag is always a good idea anyway in case of mag failure/malfunction).

 

[kcub]

None of the above.

I carry a Walther PPS .40 with flush bottom mag in a pocket holster.

I also use a Limbsaver 12012 rubber grip sleeve and it shoots like a full size 9mm.

Didn't see anything about "pocket carry".
2 oz. lighter than the XD(M) that is on the OP's list.

 

[Smith and Wesson]

Thanks for the responses.

Thanks for all the replies. I was asking this question for a relative who was asking for my advice and I told I could ask here for him.

Flame suit on.

Do some research on the Taurus 740. This is one they
seem to have gotten right. Very, very, few negative
reviews I've read. Most are highly positive.

Of what you have listed, I'd get the G27.

All the Best,
D. White

I see lots of "highly positive " reviews on Hi-Points too
I still won't ever buy one

I carry a Sig 239 40 cal and a 224 40 cal love them both

 

[Frankie1449]

I carry a Sig 239 and a 224 both carry well love them both

I ran into a guy on another board that claimed to be pocket carrying an XD Mod 2 in one leg pocket of his cargo pants, and 3 magazines in a carrier on the other leg pocket.

I held my peace, but I am skeptical.
