Used to be Glock 17, but

21, cause I like .45acp.

I have a G17 Gen5 and a 43x as my conceal carry. The G17 came from having a bunch of extended mags through trading parts over the years, and the gen 5 finally got an ambi slide release so I figured it was a good time to finally get a gun to fit the mags. I'm debating getting the slide cut for an optic soon, or just buy a new slide with the red dot already fitted, and have the original slide as a spare.

The 43x, I'm still getting used to, but I really like how well it conceals, and how a spare mag is also pretty easy to just pocket.

I actually don't have a Glock right now(USP and SAR9 gang) but if I did I'd get another 17 gen 3 with NiBx slide.

If I had to worry about black bears I'd probably carry a Glock 20. Can't think of any many 10mm pistols that are as reliable and affordable, maybe the Tanfoglio but those are more pricey now.

I can shoot my SAR9 better than a Glock 17 and it has 1000 rounds with no malfunctions yet. I sold my Glocks after shooting them for almost 20 years.

Not downing them really, and one day when I have more dispensable income I might get another G17 NiBx, but with stuff like Walther, HK, Sarsilmaz, CZ, S&W, Canik, FN, Sig making stuff just as reliable and more ergonomic (preference) I just don't care for them as much anymore.

Also the compact and subcompact models(19,23,26,27,29,30 etc) with finger grooves (gen 3-4) give me Glock knuckle on my middle finger after like 50 rounds. Really sucks on the more hot rounds. My g27 gen 3 was a fucking nightmare to shoot.

Also I like these but .45 is so goddamn expensive right now. I shoot my USP 40 and my 9s way more than my 1911 and I sold my Xdm 45 last year because it was not getting taken to the range due to ammo costs. I didn't stock up on 45 pre covid as much as I did 9mm, 22, and 556

Glock 19, its just what Im used to.

Im sure Id like the G17 better for my hands/grip but the conceal-ability of the G19 is great.

Lol aren't you the guy who carries with an empty chamber in an Amazon cloth holster? I'm sure you've shot tens of thousands of rounds in competition and know exactly what you're talking about

I was about to bring that up lol
He also tried to say the Glock handbook said not to carry one in the chamber by deliberately omitting parts of the line he was referencing.

he has his carry mag loaded with Hornady critical defense(not a terrible round just so stereotypical fudd).

You need a better holster and to not have your finger on or inside the trigger guard when you draw.

People who are unsafe have accidental discharges due to lack of training and good practices.

I carry civil liberty defense it's a 60 grain bullet that gose 2000+fps out of a handgun it's like a mini AR pistol and it can penetrate soft body armor (level 3A)

I like my Barnes 125 gr .40 s&w out of my USP is is over 1500fps.

60 grains in 9mm is really light for caliber. Is that a lead projectile?

Edit: wait this is 40 s&w? Holy shit lol that's 3x lol that is 3x lighter than normal .40 cal bullets. I bet that shit is loud as hell.

damn that's some pretty damn hot ammo you have there 125 gram at 1500 how much foot pounds of energy that put down?

Around 625. They are pretty snappy rounds. USP is a fun to shoot gun but has a high bore axis and a huge chunky slide so those fast rounds make it kinda hard to shoot quickly. Heavier and slower ammo is quite pleasant out of it though.

Jesus f****** Christ 625! And yeah I could see the same for my gun self-defense ammo is kind of hard to shoot accurately rapidly with it my 17 is a lot more comfortable in that regard.

100% of all accidental discharges happen from owning a gun. Best to just sell what you got to completely remove the chance.

Otherwise, trust the physics and internal safeties and just carry with a round in the pipe.

And don't forget a holster I'm going to use me as an example I have dropped my old Glock like five times it didn't go off but now I keep a holster so that doesn't happen
