There may have already been a post like this at some point but I couldnt find it and my needs are probably different to some degree. I have been contemplating my CC's lack of concealment because of its size. Its a Glock 30 and because of its girth its just not a good CC unless im wearing a coat which I cant very well do in the summer and not look suspicious. I frequently carry my wifes SW 38 spec around the house because its small and light and will fit in my shorts pocket. With Hollow points in it can do some damage, however what if theres multiple criminals in a break in. And although ideal, I cant leave my Remi HD~1100 sitting around cause I have kids. So Im looking into getting a thinner more concealable cc for home, commute and work. I'm wanting to stay in the 9mm-45 caliber too for ease of ammo obtainability. I think we all forsee a time when O'Dummy or one of his predecessors will make ammo illegal because I seriously doubt they will never pass a bill to take our guns and its easier. So, a semi auto with a slimmer profile in 9mm-45, I considered a 1911, but has an awfully long grip and not wanting to drop the cheddar required for a 1911. I like the short length of the Glocks grips, but thats because if the side by side stacking of ammo I know. I looked at the SR9's but again the grip is so long conceling it isnt going to be easy. Suggestions? Oh and trying to keep my budget under $500 here. I know im probably looking for a leprechaun riding a unicorn, but any and all suggestions are appreciated brothers! You can also post what you cc you have with want and pics.

a good holster plus a good belt (designed with carrying in mind) will go a long way in solving concealment issues. i would spend your money there for your g30 (great carry peice) before you drop money on a differant gun altogether.



i edc a FNX-45 in a OWB black point tactical leatherwing model holster with a belt from zachsgunbelts.com. usually wear a wife beater tucked in underneath my shirt which is untucked and over the gun. cant really tell at all, printing is very minor from it. 99% of the time you dont know i got it unless i tell you lol. i only wear my spare mag when i go to the iffy parts of town lol, otherwise its in the truck. very comfortable.

Check out a Kahr CW9.. I did a few months ago on a whim and love mine. I have had the other small 9mm

Good trigger
Good size to shoot 200-300 rounds at a range session.
Light
Easy conceable in a IWB holster.
 
Thanks guys, my issue is, I have to tuck my shirt in at work. So it needs to be able to go in my pocket and not look like Im a pornstar (hmm.. maybe not so bad) or that I have G30 in my pocket. My line of work CAN be dangerous at a construction staffing company. I get threats all the time and with what went on yesterday, it brought me to the realization I have people that work for me (or that used to) that are just as capable of doing that kind of stuff here. All it takes is one pissed off mentally unstable guy and my 3 kids are fatherless. So rather than being a possible victim, I will be prepared.
