Need advice on a new ccw piece.
Hello all,
I'm in the process of trying to select a new everyday carry piece.
I currently sometimes carry my Walther Ppk/s which I like, but I feel is a little too heavy/bulky for me and I feel that the .380 round although adequate is not as good as 9mm.
I've looked into some good wheel guns but what I really want is a something small, lightweight, i.e. easily concealable but still meets certain criteria.
I really like the design of the Walther. I'm wondering whether they make a small DA/SA with a decocker. I used to wish for a safety too but I'm perfectly content with just the decocker.
Well, I hope someone of you out there has an idea and thanks for looking,
MBG

SOrry can't answer your question on the Walther....
In a pinch I carry a Smith & Wesson Bodyguard in .380 . Its a true pocket pistol. My normal everyday ccw is a 3in Kimber. If your looking for a 9mm pocket pistol check out the LC9 ?Tantric Shooting Team

If you like decockers, you might want to take a look at what HK has to offer. I have a USP .40 compact which has been a very good firearm. The only thing I dislike is the magazine release, but that's completely subjective.
There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Kel-tec PF-9 or P-11. Small 9's but no saftey or decocker.
Beretta px4 storm subcompact would be a choice but may be too bulky.

My smith/walther SW99 has a de-cocker but I had to get a smaller gun for a daily cc. I'll sell the sw99 to ya on the cheap!!

Sig p239
Same single/ double action as a ppk with a decocker.
As a bonus you get a real caliber, 9mm 40 s&w or even 357 sig
Another option is the Walther P99C AS
9mm or 40 S&W and same single/ double action as a ppk with a decocker.
Smaller in every dimension than the PPK and weighs about 20 oz.
I found both triggers to be terrible to me so the triggers are on a scale to me.. The Glock was a crisper suck and the XD was a more mushy suck. They are in the same family, SR9 (heavy suck), Glock (crisp heavy suck), XD( lighter mushy suck), M&P(heavy mushy suck).

Re: Need advice on a new ccw piece.
I couldn't be happier with my Ruger LCP.
I have about a thousand rounds through mine by now, and it is still very tight, extremely accurate, and 100% reliable. It also fires the hottest Buffalo Bore +P rounds no problem.
In 9mm i would recommend either the Kahr PM9 (single stack) or the HK P2000sk (double stack).Last edited by Valorius; October 3rd, 2011 at 07:44 PM.

Right now I pocket carry a Ruger LCR XS model. With Speer LE 38 Special +P gold dot duty ammunition in it, I don't really feel under gunned when I need concealment that deep.
The M1. Smackin' the bastards since 1932.
