    Question Concealed carry, suggestions

    I want to get a new concealed carry and retire my Bersa Thunder. My hands aren't getting any younger and it kicks like a mule. 9mm or 380, doesn't matter, I reload both. Can you fellas point me in the right direction, I don't want to empty my piggy bank. Thanks Joe

    Best idea going! Anything any else tells you will be based on their own experience, not yours!

    OK ,Thinking about how deep your pockets are and your comfort Don't pass on the Taurus G3C ,I find it much more comfortable to shoot than my Glock 43X ,accuracy is very good, feeds all ammo ( Don't use Russian wolf steel ammo ) average cost NIB $ 300 with 3-12 round mags !

    If you're thinking long term usability in the face of aging I'd look at the Shield EZ in either 9 or .380. Maybe even the new .30 Super Carry if you can wait a bit more for supply to get out there.

    I'll throw out another consideration, perhaps a snub revolver?
    Mine is a .38, but see some in 9 mm now.
    It ain't what they call you, it's what you answer to.
