Please link the thread. I am assuming it came down to CZ P10 C?
Edit didn't see poll. My vote is for the CZ P10 either Compact or Subcompact
Had an MP9c with external safety. It's ok but the trigger is awful. You can very slowly squeeze the trigger all the way without releasing the striker.
My department issue is a glock 19. I've never really liked them until this one. After about 1k rounds they really grow on you. At least mine did. It's so consistent it's scary.
Overall the biggest factor is to train. I don't care if it's a ruger sr22, train. No one rises to the occasion, we fall to our level of training.

If i was to carry every day, every where. I would carry a Walther P99c, DA/SA striker fired 10rnd w/ a 15 rnd spare. Carry with a long 11lbs pull, after the first round, 4lbs pull. Add some true glow night sites and a custom cross draw holster. Its one of the few handguns that is DA/SA without a hammer or safety. Been around the world, tried and true for decades.

I have an older Star-Firestar M43 in 9mm. i used to have the same model in .45 ACP, but it was a little heavy for my tastes. its a very nice mini-1911 style semi auto pistol.
I am considering getting a S&W M&P Bodyguard with a laser sight...they seem pretty nice, small, and reliable. im getting too old to be fighting people in the street if it comes to that...

I carry the M&P9 2.0 with the 4.25" barrel and tritium sights, the new ones fixed the trigger issue that a previous member posted about. My recommendation would be to go to a local range as most of them around here do a rental program where you can pay like $10/hr and shoot their guns but you have to run their ammo through it (which can be a little more expensive). This way you can see which is more comfortable for you to shoot. Keep in mind the M&P9 2.0 comes with changeable hand grips so you can change the comfort level if that's an issue.
I also agree that training is the most important thing no matter what you go with. look into any local courses that offer more advanced training or get involved with you local gun club that may hold competitions. I have found steel shooting competitions to be a huge training aid because it helps put you in a little higher stress situation as its timed and depends on reasonable accuracy plus everyone is usually super friendly and willing to help with any form issues you might have.
Next step: Holster. Go with Aliengear. You wont be disappointed.

With my build and our Florida weather, I rarely can get by with anything as large as a G19 (besides, its my wife's G19). I carry a G43 daily and my BUG is an LCP.
Although we do have acreage and you'll rarely find me without my G17 strapped to my thigh or my G43 with extra mags on hand. Too many snakes, bobcat, panther and coyote to protect our dogs from. :eyebrows:

I've carried 3 different pistols for duty use:
1.) SIG P229 .357 w/ DAK trigger
2.) Glock 17 9MM
3.) Glock 22 .40S&W
Out of all 3, I shoot the G22 the best and most accurately. I absolutely love it and even carry it off duty, aiwb. Carry whatever you are most consistent and accurate with, train the most with, despite what anyone says about it/caliber/etc.

Best carry is the one you do carry.
What I would like to carry and what I do may be 2 different things. I spend as much thought on ammo as I do on weapon. I have an M&P Shield 9 but brand new they are crap. The triggers on the things should have been a red flag to S&W but they apparently didn't care and included no mules or bulldozers to help me pull the thing which feels like dragging a bag of rocks over a bed of nails.
Modified they fill the role very well. I also find it is not the manufacturer but the specific gun that is the best.
Energy on impact vs weight and size of weapon vs number of rounds vs comfort vs expense.
Last but not least you have to hit what you are shooting at, meaning you have to shoot the thing meaning you have to afford to shoot thing and have to be able find ammo everywhere.

We flew to St. Petersburg Florida for vacation January. We have some family down there that we visited with plus I went on a hog hunt with my nephew.
We rented a VRBO with a pool. My nephew in-law (who is my exact age) loaned me a rifle (308 Weatherby) for the hog hunt.
Since Florida recognizes my Missouri CCW License, I flew with 2 pistols. My Glock 19 and Ruger LC9S Pro. I practice regularly with both and can accurately hit my 25yd gong with both.
I mostly carried the LC9S Pro in a pocket holster w/ spare mag. Wearing cargo shorts the gun disappears. Profile in the pocket looks like a cell phone or wallet.
An untucked button down short sleeve shirt conceals my G19 carried OWB well enough.
Hog hunting was fun - I shot mine at 25yds through the heart and lungs. Our guide's dogs were on top of it and didn't let it run far after being hit.
We're planning another trip down for this next January. I'll be driving the 4Runner and will bring the same 2 pistols plus a rifle of 2. Building up my own hog rifle slowly.
Note - last pic is biscuits and gravy made from the hog I shot.

Kimber Ultra in 9mm but not CCW. Never felt the need nor do I have the body fat necessary to actually conceal it in any fashion in which it is readily accessible.
