    How do you know if you don't do a background check? That would be according to you a government interrogation to find out.

    I actually don't like the 9mm that much. 45 ACP is my fav. I'm in love with my USP 40.

    I have a small dick, so your theory maybe correct

    Yeah right, man. It's totally going to be like in Fallout where the Chinese invade Alaska and the nukes are launched. We'll all be ghouls and super mutants in 100 years.

    There are many great options, so what I recommend is making sure you have sufficient training and range time. It's so easy to get a carry permit, so you have to take the responsibility of being proficient very seriously. When I got my carry I chose arbitrary numbers of 3 sessions with an instructor and 20 hours range time before I would leave the house with my weapon concealed. Since, I go to the range at least once a month. Think about it, figure out what you believe the responsible path is and stick to it.

    As far as which gun, I have a .40 khar I like but honestly I wouldn't recommend it, I hope to upgrade soon. There are some Sig sauers including the p938 9mm which is fun and tiny, a great carry but not good if you have big hands. The Springfield armory XD is great choice too. If you want to spend an extra few bucks and go for something classy, check out a Kimber.

    I like those real well myself, have the Gold Cup model. But my old .38 S&W is just so natural it damn near hits what I want. I loaded up about 250 rounds for it some years back,
    dang near .357 like. I suppose that will do me.

    Well, I do find it shocking that anyone other than a criminal would post, the only thing they fear is the police. I can't think of thing to fear, but if I did, I think I would find a way to come to grips with the fear. He just might find talking to a real in the flesh police Chief or Sheriff, could make that fear begone. On the other hand, if the experience came out bad, he could tell the world about, starting right here and everywhere else you all can think up. Might do more good than doing nothing which apparently just keeps a bad companion close (fear).

    Also, whatever your choice, don't skimp on a couple good holsters. I prefer leather inside waist band ones from Galco but there are many good ones to choose from. But you need to go spend some good time in gun shops holding the guns and feeling the holsters, getting to understand what will work best for you.

    And there are many ranges you can go to and rent different guns. Talk to the clerks, get their advice and try a handful of options before you commit.

    Congrads on making the right choice to carry! Don't listen to the liberals and BLM appeasers who tell you that you're racist for doing so. That's bullshit.

    Personally, I haven't carried a gun in one year. But before that, I carried a Glock 22 daily with a spare mag in my front left pocket. It worked for me, but that's a full-size gun, and you may want something smaller. Just keep in mind that the smaller the gun, the greater the recoil.

    I used to also carry a 5-shot S&W 642 Airweight. The recoil was horrendous. Glad I stuck with the Glock.

    Great choice! Personally, I don't care for the compact Glocks, because my pinkie-finger always feels like it's going to pop off the bottom. Whereas the sub-compacts nestle comfortably in my palm, and the full-size guns give me a great area of grip.

    The 19 isn't really compact. It's the same frame as the Glock 23. It's not as big as the Glock 21, but it's still pretty hefty.

    You're right that they are the same frame size: G19/23/32. But officially, they're listed as "Compacts", with the "Full Size/Duty/Standard Size" models being the G17/22/31, and the Sub Compact Models being the G26/27/33. I believe the G30 and 36 also fall into sub compact sizes, as well as the G42, but I'm not entirely sure on that.

    I'll look in my Glock Annual magazine, but my cat tore it to pieces. Damn cat.
