TBH the most important aspects for me are reliability, low recoil, capacity (in that order). then, if I can carry from time to time, it’s good enough, but it’s a good point you make about the double stack.

Do you happen to have many guns (one for EDC, one double stack at home for protection?) or just one? Reason I ask is that I don’t foresee having many guns (probably will stop at one, but you never know), so the one I’m looking for has to have kind of a bit of everything lol. Small enough to carry from time to time, big enough so that recoil/accuracy is not a problem.

Thanks for the advice!

yeah, TBH, my number 1 priority for this gun is that I can use it for home safety, so that means that both me and my wife can shoot it reliably, accurately without having crazy recoil. Now, if I can carry it here and there from time to time, that’s kind of an “added bonus” for me, as this will probably sit in a drawer most of the time.

I don’t want something huge but also don’t want something small, so that’s why I’ve been aiming at the ones I have mentioned up until now.

I will take a look at the CZ-75B and P-07 and see if I can find a place I could shoot most of the guns I want to get :D

yeah, I just definitely want a 9mm gun. Not thinking about any other option TBH

I think Sigs are great. I have tried just a few and it’s always one of my top choices. I think I am down to those 3 G19, S&W M&P 2.0 and the P365XL. Probably will have to rent them all, shoot them one by one and then decide on whats the best one for me.

In terms of CC, I am barely gonna CC. just occasionally at best, so although size is a component for me (I won’t get a huge gun and try to conceal it), it’s definitely not the priority here (low recoil, accuracy) are definitely more important for me as this will be a “shared” gun with my wife until I can convince her to get her own LOL.

Thank you for the advice!

Oh nice, haven’t considered the CZ or the Shield EZ. Will definitely take a look. Trying to convince my wife to get her own gun so that I can get anything I want, but probably what’s gonna end up happening is I’ll get hers, then get her used to it and then buy mine a year later for my bday (lol, she won’t be able to say anything (͡•_ ͡• )

I was leaning towards a Glock 26 as you have more options in terms of how many rounds but didn’t know a 43x even existed lol. I think for my use case either a 26/43x or a 19 is enough. As I mentioned, the most important thing for me is accuracy and low recoil as I am barely going to carry this gun on a day to day basis. This is gonna be mostly sitting in a gun safe.

wow that hellcat pro looks amazing. It’s insane how many options there are LOL. I might have to go to a shooting range that carries a very wide variety of guns cause I will definitely need to test them all before buying

That’s really good advice. The only reason I wanted to go with a little bit increased capacity is cause we are just getting our first gun and wanted something noob proof as in: hope I can hit whatever I need to hit with this many rounds lol.

As a noob, I think the sense of reassurance in having a few extra just in case is why I’m thinking about this.

I think this gun will primarily be collecting dust in a safe right next to my nightstand with very very occasional CC, so not really an EDC material TBH. I was also thinking about just getting a G26 as I’ll have the 9mm caliber I want in a smaller form factor so if and when I decide to carry it, it won’t be uncomfortable.

I am definitely leaning this way as I have loved the Glocks I’ve shot. Will definitely need to test out the “new” knurling on the gen 5 to make sure I like that.

Awesome. thank you! I was looking for something like this to be able to compare
