Looking to change up my carry gun.

[tmleadr03]

I currently carry an XD40 full size. I no longer like it. Tired of it. Got a few thousand rounds through it and I am meh about it. Totally reliable, very accurate for me (when I am practicing), I can in most situations conceal and not worry about printing or the like. The only downsides for shooting it is that I have to either use a finger or shift my grip to drop a mag with my thumb(I guess I have stubby thumbs) and with hi-cap mags I only have 12+1 and with the .40 I take just a little longer to re-align my sight picture. I want to change to a 9mm in something. More rounds is more better.

So recommend me a pistol to go play with at the gun store. Not anything fancy, but reliable is gooder.

Hopefully no one is deeply offended by this thread.

I am offended you havent tried glock 19.

A few places sell an extended mag release like this one that might help the one problem. I carry an XDsc in .40 with a spare mag but I hate the trigger and ordered a Powder River kit. Maybe a few tweaks would get rid of the "meh".

edit: 165gr RNFP over 4.4gr of Titegroup is a nice soft accurate load at short range w/ quick recovery but I haven't chronographed that one and it's probably a bit slow for PF.

G19 FTW!

Glock 19 or XDm? XDm in 40 holds 16+1. in 9mm it's 19+1

Check out the S&W M&P. The full-size is slightly larger than the G19.

This, or a sig, then a glock.

Check out the xd9 sub compact. 13+1 and very nice to conceal. Same gun so you wont change much and its just another polymer pistol!
I have a spare you can test if you like.

Or check out an XDM in 9mmthe if you want full size

I'm a big believer in the G19. I've been carrying one at home and at work since 2005. A Vickers mag release and a good set of night sights are about all that's needed. I added a +2 extension to a 15rd mag and carry a 17rd mag as a reload.

Glock 19 or 26.
