don't take that the wrong way , for a Glock it does look to be in fine condition and a good looking outfit but a good looking pistol a Glock will never be
I am really thinking hard about getting a Springfield Hellcat. Was in the gunshop today and I can get one for $477 before tax. they have a half dozen of them. I might go back and get one.
In addition to my Keltec P-32 recommendation for simple and easy year round carry, how about a Sig P365 or a Walther CCP.......maybe even a G19. They are all good candidates for different situations.
I wouldn't mind replacing my CZ 82 in 9x18 since it is heavy, but have a lot of ammo, some extra mags and spare parts for it, shoot it well, fits my hand, reload for it, etc.
As said above, there are no gun shows to look and hold other candidates, the prices are sky high for everything. The cost of a good new carry gun can easily run up to $1,000 with buying different ammo to try, a good holster, a few extra mags, reloading dies later on, …
Just doesn't seem to be a good time right now to retire the CZ to the nightstand and buy a new carry gun.
Try the 19 vs 43 in a carry holster For the sake of a few rounds the 43 is slim.
Although always described as a cowboy, Roswellnative generally acts as a righter of wrongs or bodyguard of some sort, where he excels thanks to his resourcefulness and incredible gun prowesses.
I am leaning toward the G19 but the 365 is not off the table. If my LGS had had a 19 in stock yesterday, I probably would have bought it. Am currently searching GB for both guns.

Solid choice! I usually carry a Gen5 MOS. It has a C&H Precision weapons adapter plate instead of the flimsy stock Glock plate & a Trijicon RMR with 3.25MOA dot. Stock trigger usually carried with a stock glock mag & 1 spare G17 mag with the Taran +6 giving me 23rds in the 2nd mag.
I am faster with my G34 USPSA gun but the margin is less than you might expect.
Whoah, until your photo I hadn't realized the Gen 5 went to ambi slide release.

Yep Gen 5 is ambi and MOS. I have really been wanting to shoot one with a MOS on it. We had some in my unit but they were big and clunky but then that was 14 years ago and a lot has changed.
I don't want to hijack but do you think the Taran +5 40 would work with 357 SIG?
First thing we did on my wife's Gen 5 19 was to put the extended slide release on. Makes a world of difference in how easy it is to hit it with your thumb.

It doesn't look significantly different than the Gen 3 slide release, which poses no issue for me. The mag release does seem improved over the stock Gen 3 one which does.

The one on Warbird's gun appears to be the factory part. The extended version has just a little bump coming off of it that makes manipulating it really easy.
I don't know, sorry. And frankly, I won't have anything to do with Taran tactical.

I want to thank everyone for their contributions to this poll, it has gone a long ways to helping me in my goal of figuring out what I want. Keep the input coming!

I carry either a Colt Commander or Kimber Ultra Carry in .45 ACP. A small striker fired plastic piece would be more comfortable physically, but I prefer a hammer fired piece with a positive manual safety.
Freedom and a submissive populace cannot co-exist.
Well, in a surprise turn, I got the Glock 48. Range report to follow. Slide mod, Holosun red dot, new mag release, and Shield Arms mags to follow after that.

Glock 19, Glock 26, and a Ruger LC9S Pro. All 3 I can run my 10 inch gongs with at 25yds. The Glocks are carried OWB with an untucked shirt. The Ruger is my pocket carry gun. All 3 are loaded with Federal HST 124gr ammo. I carry 1 spare mag with each gun.
I had a Sig P365. I couldn't hit anything with it and sold it for what I had in it.
I guess there were a few issues with the earlier P365s that they have worked out now.

I agree. A .40 is so much more. And add some hot underwood or gold dot ammo.
What do you presently carry?
Keltec P-32...................pocket carry year round
Holy cow! That is one good lookin' pistol!
well maybe for a Glock🤣👀

IIRC we have those on all our Glocks now.
Most days it's a Glock 30.

Sig Sauer M18.
If it's good enough for the Marines, it's good enough for you.
I love mine. 1-17 round and 2-21 round magazines included.

My usual are either a Colt commander in 38 Super, or it's brother in 45acp.
Amen, brother!
Not mine:
I have the 3" Kimber SCU in .45
Like Mark said I would look at the Sig 320. After shooting my Brothers I am thinking of getting one myself once this craziness subsides.
I like the x-ray sight function but I want a sight that sees into the future.🤣

I know 2 others who carry the G48 and they like it.
If my life is in danger, I won't be trusting it to anything made of plastic.
Go big or stay home.

Perfect!
Which Holosun? I just ordered a HS507c. It's my first pistol red dot.
Either that one or the HS507K X2.

I bought this CZ 75 PCR, Very happy with it. Fits my hand extremely well. Great gun all around, and shoots awesome.
Enjoy your new G 48, hope it is everything you wanted in a carry gun.
I rotate through 3 carry guns.
Glock 19, Glock 26, and a Ruger LC9S Pro. All 3 I can run my 10 inch gongs with at 25yds. The Glocks are carried OWB with an untucked shirt. The Ruger is my pocket carry gun. All 3 are loaded with Federal HST 124gr ammo. I carry 1 spare mag with each gun.
