Help Me Choose Lineup for CCW

[ChallengerScatPackClub]

I am going to renew my CCW soon and I cannot decide what three gun lineup I should go with:

1. S&W 36, P365, S&W 4506

2. P365, Staccato "OG" C (Single Stack), Kimber Warrior w/ RMR and x300

3. P365, HK45C, Staccato C2 w/ DPP and x300

I wear business casual shirt tucked in at work so I need to carry either the S&W 36 or P365. Also, I know 9 technology and lethality is "good enough" now, but sometimes you just need that 45 for certain situations like for woods/bigger animals. 45 is more comforting but having more capacity with 9 is also comforting.

Each line up has at least one of each size/caliber combinations to provide decent and balanced carry options: a subcompact, compact/mid size, full size, and 9+45.

S&W 36: Small, easy to conceal, lightweight, very reliable, simplicity, nostalgia, timeless, classy. However, low capcity, slow reload, long and heavy trigger pulls, 38 kicks.

P365: Small, easy to conceal, lightweight, good capacity, decent trigger, accurate, low recoil.

S&W 4506. Good 'o Lord's caliber, lightweight (compared to a traditional full size 1911), decent DA/SA trigger, thin single stack canted carry helps with concealment, easy to carry extra single stack mags, nostalgia, timeless, classy. However, long size, low capacity, 45 recoil.

Staccato C: Lightweight (compared to a traditional commander 1911), very good trigger, shoots very fast and flat, thin single stack canted carry helps with concealment, easy to carry extra single stack mags. However, a bit long size, low capacity.

Kimber Warrior: 45! Decent trigger, weight helps handle that 45 recoil well, thin single stack helps with concealment, easy to carry extra single stack mags, sometimes you just need those red dot and light attachments. However, very heavy, a bit uncomfortable after half a day.

HK45C: 45! Lightweight, very reliable, very good light LEM trigger, handles 45 recoil well. However, a bit girthy, low capacity, harder to carry extra mags.

Staccato C2: Lightweight (compared to that Warrior and traditional commander 1911), very good trigger, shoots fast and flat, very good capacity, sometimes you need those red dot and light attachments. However, a bit girthy, harder to conceal, to carry extra mags, a bit more confortable after half a day compared to the Warrior.

Feel free to change the lineup and suggest different firearms. Any input is greatly appreciated!

365, C2, HK all day.. hands down the only way I’d go. Capacity and weight is deciding factor for me always. Next go around I’m only running the 365 and a Staccato CS. Everything is else is getting dropped. 365 is almost a 365 day carry. CS will get carried with a hoodie, just because

#3 is very similar to my lineup. I have a p365, wilson EDC x9 and HK 45c. p365 for lightweight concealability and probably the most often carried--JMO it's just too convenient. EDC x9 honestly I barely ever carry, cause mostly the p365 gets carried, but I shoot this better and it's only marginally larger, but much heavier. the hk 45c is my sling gun.

and I am actively trying to buy a stacc C single stack so.....NICE GUN!

Boomers and Degeneration-X going #1 all damn day! Swap out the 365 for another hammer fired like a P938 and you’re golden.

I have a nearly new off roster p365xl with romeo zero red dot I can sell someone on this thread. I carry the exact same one with a halosun. asking 1K. right here in San diego.

No Glock in lineup.

I voted for C but would sub the HK45C for the Staccato C single stack. As long as you practice with disengaging the manual safety the C and C2 will serve you really well.

I basically went with a small, medium, large firearm as my 3. The small is pocket carry in a DeSantis Nemesis holster. The medium is IWB. The larger is really when I am on a road trip and want a bigger gun for hotel nightstand duty and for a long car drive I think shoulder holster works a bit better.

I think the G36/30sf is a great option for the C line up. JMO

Go with whichever gun(s) you'll train with the most and perform the best with

I have no need for a .45 nor a single stack 1911 for CCW. Also no need for a pocket carry. That's just me.

In San Mateo County we can only have 3 so I went with:

• Sig P365X - This is by far the easiest for me to carry and nearly unlimited holster options. My summer carry. XL Slide if you want more
• Glock G43X almost as easy to conceal carry and my winter carry. G48 Slide if you want more
• The G19 with a freedom mag is my car gun or OWB carry.

All are bone stock, no optics, no trigger mods.

When hiking I carry one of the above AND bear spray. A .45 for a charging small to med to bigger animal requires perfect shot placement, while bear sprays works on anything I would normally run from. Also good for 2 legged animals when needed. Lol
