Long story short...
I'm thinking of trading in my carry gun, an XDs 3.3" 9mm, toward a Glock.
I've been shooting my G40MOS and I carry it when hunting/in the woods, and I have really grown fond of it.
I thought about a 29 for carry, but I do think the 9mm is capable. I also like having at least one common caliber handgun...just in case.
So, that takes me to a 19, 26, or 43.
I used to have a G23. I'm not going back to a 40. I just don't want to. But when I had it, it was not the easiest thing to make disappear during the warm weather months. But I'm not sure I really gave it a fair shot. I would need to re-look at holsters, a belt, etc, and how to dress to conceal it.
Or do I go to a 26 and shorten the grip, which was usually where I struggled with my 23 to keep it from printing badly?
Or go to a 43 which is similar to what I'm using now, but with the Glock "look and feel" ?
Or do I decide I already own the XDs and stop thinking up reasons for a new gun...?
