Help me choose next EDC

[backwoodjohns]

I am looking for my next EDC. I prefer aiwb, im left handed so ambi controls are a plus but not a deal breaker. I have (trying to sell actually see my classifieds ad) a p320 m17 for awhile now, and I really don't want to say goodbye but I need something I can actually realistically CC. I am not set on sig, but I do like the ergos and im most familiar.

Right now sig 365 fuse & xmacro comp are top of the list. The fuse is #1 because im a bigger guy, larger hands, and I want an almost full size but still reasonably concealable.

My buddy is a walther guy, I've shot his pdp a bit and i like it. Trigger is better thab p320. I just dont quite like the ergos or trigger safety enough

Other standard options like springfield hellcat pro, sw mp shield plus pro, etc. I've been tossing around.

My only other wildcard would be an hk45c, well because hk. but I don't think I really wanna carry a 45, and they seem pretty bulky for iwb cc compared to the smaller 9 options. but, ive never shot them. pls sell me on the 45c.

any other options in this range im missing? I absolutely hate glock ergos so please no glock suggestions lol

If you like the HK45C but want a 9mm why not go with an HK P30SK?

thats true, I honestly dont care about 9mm vs. 45. its just concealability + capacity, which the 45c seemed too bulky. obviously price doesn't help either. Why the fuse is up there right now on my list. ill look at p30sks next though. I really like the idea of the lem versions of hks. I've never been able to compare or shoot in person any hk yet though. Was trying to find a place to rent / shoot and compare. Hk seemed harder to find at ranges etc. than the mainstream m&p, hellcat, p365, pdp stuff.

I carry a Taurus G3X regularly. I has a full size grip with a Glock 19 length slide. It also has a second strike feature that makes double taps very fast. I like the trigger much better that the Glock 19 trigger.

Something about taurus marketing makes me want to not trust them, despite everything I've read about them being good ill add to the list of guns to try though

But you trust SIGs marketing….

 

[backwoodjohns]

I think my final solution here is to just buy them all and then I don't have to actually decide anything...

 

[titsonritz]

I would too. I had their VP9 and was less than impressed. There's also the P2000.

I thought the glock fud couldn't read I like the 1 sig that I have. My buddies sigs: a few rifles, handguns etc. have all been reliable. I'm not a sig fan girl, but what they're selling tends to fit what I want? As a mechanic I find debates like this funny. You're ford sucks just as much as my Chevy I am just willing to trade more maintenance for better functionality or price. Most car or gun parts manufactored today outside of Japan or EU have crap QC lol. Check your crap regularly and you won't catch a ND in ur pocket with any gun. Its why most Manufactors just slap a trigger and manual safety on everything, or Glock that has no tensioned striker and thus sacrifices a lot of extra trigger pull for it. I don't want the toyota camry with the training wheels still on. I buy stuff for functionality + price, and I work on them myself because they require it, im gonna be rough with it and im not paying someone else haha.

May the odds be in your favor. If I were you I would lean towards the HKs and far away from the SIGs. But that's just me.

No odds, it is just down to maintenance, if/when you recognize part failure, tolerance creep, etc.

I was all about the hk and the lem triggers, but sig keeps putting out smaller form factors, bigger capacity, more full size feel in cc forms like the fuse, and for cheaper prices.. Just seemed like hks were not ever really small enough to conceal carry reasonably compared to all the other compact 9mm options.

Anyone know a good place to test run some hks in Portland / NW oregon area?.

I admire your confidence. I'll leave it at that.

I have the VP9 and it is about as good as a striker-fired pistol gets, in my opinion. That said, for actual carry I like the P2000 way more, especially with the LEM trigger. Same with P30L but not exactly a carry piece.

well what is your story with sig?

 

[1775usmc]

well what is your story with sig?

You got a paper and pen. Lol. I'm not gunna go through it all. You can find me over in the P320 threads.
