RUGER LCPII 380ACP PISTOLRuger LCPII 380ACP

The LCPII is a significant improvement over the LCPI. 5.17” long and 3.71” tall, the LCPII fits in virtually any holster making it perfect for concealed carry. Weighing in at just 10.6 oz, the LCPII is so light you might not even know it’s there. Low profile sights make the LCPII easy to draw from pockets, purses and more without sacrificing visibility. A crisp and light trigger pull ensure ease of operation while under duress.

Smith & Wesson MP Shield

Smith & Wesson MP Shield for saleThe Smith & Wesson M&P Shield in 380ACP is one of the most popular subcompact models on the market today. At 20oz the M&P Shield is lighter than the popular Glock 19 but heavier than other concealed carry handguns. 6.1” long and 1” wide the M&P Shield is still easy to conceal thanks to its single stack design. A 3.6” barrel gives the M&P Shield superior stopping power, even at .380ACP. The Smith & Wesson MP Shield is simply a good gun all around.

Springfield Armory XD MOD 9

SPRINGFIELD ARMORY XDG MOD2 9MM 4" BLUEThe Springfield Armory XD MOD 9 is a breeze to shoot thanks to the new “Grip Zone.” The textured grip provides the perfect amount of control without chewing up your hands. Low profile combat fiber optic sights offer superior visibility but are larger than other handguns on this list. At 6.25” long the XD MOD 9 is shorter than the SR9c, and essentially the same width (1.19” vs 1.18”). As one of the thinnest double stack handguns around the XD MOD 9 is a wonderfully compact weapon but is more expensive than other handguns on this list.

Glock 26 Gen 4

GLOCK 26GN4Well, it’s a Glock. The Glock 26 is a reliable 9mm concealed carry handgun that will fit where you need it and (most importantly) work when you need it. At 6.41” long the Glock 26 is not the shortest handgun on this list, but at 1.18” wide it’s one of the thinnest double stack handguns here. Only 4.17” tall the Glock 26 can be concealed in any holster, pocket, or purse. A clean, crisp trigger pull makes the Glock 26 a breeze to shoot. A modular back strap means it can be customized to fit any hand. While the Glock 26 comes with a standard 10 round magazine, it accepts any Glock magazine.

Ruger Security 9

Ruger Security 9 for saleThe Ruger Security 9 is not a compact pistol, but it’s still easy to conceal with the right holster. Thanks to a single stack magazine the Security 9 is only 1.02” wide, making it one of the thinnest handguns here. At 5” tall and 7.24” long the Security 9 wins no awards for small size but can be concealed with the right gear. The Security 9 shares the same trigger with the LCPII, ensuring a light and crisp trigger pull each time. The drift-adjustable U-notch sights are virtually identical to the Glock 19. The price of the Security 9 is hard to beat.

Glock 19 Gen 4

GLOCK 19GN4 Is the Glock 19 the single greatest concealed carry handgun ever made? No. Is it the best looking handgun ever made? No. Is it still a handgun you should consider for every day concealed carry? Absolutely. At 7.36” long and 4.99” tall the Glock 19 isn’t the smallest handgun here by a wide margin but at 1.18” wide it is easy to conceal in any IWB holster and leaves a minimal print. The Glock 19 boasts the same reliability and performance of any other Glock and should not be overlooked when shopping for a concealed carry handgun.

Smith & Wesson MP 9 for sale

Smith & Wesson MP 9

When measured as a handgun the S&W MP 9 might be one of the best there is. It’s ergonomic design, 17+1 capacity, and pronounced sights make it an absolute dream to operate. As a concealed carry handgun the M&P 9 is less than perfect. At 7.6” long the M&P 9 requires extra effort to conceal, and at 27.9 oz it is heavier than most. With the right holster the M&P 9 can be concealed and carried every single day, but there are other handguns on this list that are easier to live with. The MP 9 has excellent stopping power and is perfect when used for home defense or as a truck gun.
