[QUOTE="wolf_walker, post: 3643339, member: 38787"] So I'm not a "pistol guy" which I know is kind of a dumb term, but they have just never motivated me to spend time and money on them. I haven't carried outside the home much in the last few years, between the plague and working from home to start with, I don't get out a hell of a lot. But anyway, my 20 year old Glock 22 that I've had for like, 12 or 13 years is annoying to even halfass try to conceal. I carried it open plenty and it's fine for that, and I love a full size handgun like Peter loved the Lord, but it just ain't workin at this stage in my life. Soooo, compact 9 or 40. I don't care which. Lot more 9's around than 40's, but I have an ammo can full of 40 so that kinda sucks jumping ship but whatever. M&P 2.0 looks solid, lot more 9's than 40's around. Canik TP9SF Elite, I like "different" things, and I'm really leaning toward one of these. Though I think they are selling for more than they are worth, or maybe they were underpriced to start with. Taurus G3C. I'm pretty impressed from the reviews and such on this thing, especially for the money. The last time I paid any attention to pistols Taurus didn't have an awesome reputation but they seem to have made progress. The price seems about what I'd expect to pay for a decent little 9, unlike everyone else's offerings. Beretta APX Compact, the reviews are all pretty good for this and it's cool just via being a Beretta and having been part of the whole mil pistol trials thing. I'm not sold on the funky slide cuts working all that well but it seems to work overall. I know the default answer is G19 but that's kinda boringly guaranteed to be perfectly okay. Any screaming red flags about any of these I've missed? Anything else I should be looking at? I know holster compatibility is a thing with some of the less popular ones, and I generally prefer an owb retention like a 578 Safariland, but hopefully with something slightly smaller than the foot long 2x4 my G22 is I can experiment some.
