Message: <blockquote data-quote="TheDoubleD" data-source="post: 3666800" data-attributes="member: 43754">The folks here have offered you some pretty good ideas about some very good guns that are available.I am going to go a different way and make a suggestion  based on what you wrote.  You said you aren't a pistol guy-clue 1.You said you have a Glock 22. Clue 2You have problem with concealed carry,  clue 3.If you buy any of the guns that have  been suggested other than  Glock you need to be sure take on an extensive session of retraining.  You need to spend a lot time on the range learning the new gun.  You need to develop new muscle memory.   You need to be able to operate the new gun without conscious thought or hesitation.I suggest you stay with Glock as you are familiar with Glocks and know how they function.  You have existing muscle memory.  I am not suggesting stay with Glock because I think it is better--these guns others suggested are equally good guns.  When you need the gun, hopefully never, it needs to be second nature to deploy.  That why I suggest a Glock for you  I carried a gun at work for over 35 years.  I carried some version  S&W revolver to start. Later I moved into Auto's. I mastered them but they were always awkward to operate.  Then I was issued a Glock and for 18 years Icarried nothing else.  I never had a problem with the Glock because it fired like my revolver. Today 11 years into retirement I only carry in passive defense.  I no longer go to the range once a month to practice.  Once a year maybe. For a while I carried a Glock 23.  It is smaller and I can conceal it but it really is to big and your description half assed carry describes it  perfect.Several years ago I came across the Glock 43. Like S&W revolver working the same as any other S&W Revolver, the 23 works just like any other Glock.   It is kind of small in my hands.  But I am not using this gun for target shooting. On the range it shoots quite well and accurately, especially with the 6 rounds it holds.   Since it it functions like the big Glocks I trained on for years, I can shoot this gun very well in a passive defense situation.  I'm a good witness, but when I am in articulable fear of my life or the life of another,  I can instinctively deploy this gun defend my self.  Carry-the Model 43 a is a pocket gun and drops right in.  I normally almost always wear cargo pants.  This little gun in a  BORAII pocket holster fits right slit or patch pockets.  Small not  bulky holster covers the trigger securely.  This holster helps to break up pocket print also. The small spare magazine goes in another pocket and is not heavy and bulky.So there is my idea for you.  Hope helps you make decision.</blockquote>
