I have shot the G26 and did not like the feel. I like the 23 I have, but would like something smaller and more concealable.
Beats me. I have a S&W 9mm 4.2" that I really like. However it is too big to comfortably carry. I have been looking for a carry handgun for several months now. I tried the S&W lightweight .38, and did not like it at all. Maybe one half of the sheels hit the target. It had a lot of wrist snap for me.

I am not sure what calliber to use . . . . 9mm or .38 or a 380.

Let me know what you find out. ken

If you like your G23, buy some good gear and carry it. As for the 1911, get one. I'm no fan of 3 inchers but there are lots that are. In the CDP & EMP price range, you might want to look at STI. http://www.stiguns.com/

Pic is a G19 in a Desbian Covert IWB. It sits deep with a 20° cant, hides a mid size Glock easily.

Well I want the spring field .45. I was just told that 1911 .45 are not as reliable as say the EMP in 9mm.

The kimber know no history about.

I need to shoot all of these and then make the decision.
