Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main categories of concealed carry handgun sizes discussed?

The video categorizes concealed carry handguns into micro/pocket pistols (like the Seecamp LWS 32), subcompacts (like the Sig P365 and Kahr PM9), and compacts (like the Glock 19 and Springfield Hellcat Pro). The focus is on helping viewers choose one primary size category.

Which 9mm pistols are recommended for concealed carry?

For concealed carry, the Sig Sauer P365 (double-stack subcompact) and Kahr PM9 (single-stack subcompact) are highlighted. The Springfield Hellcat Pro is also featured as a high-capacity compact option, alongside the benchmark Glock 19.

What is the benefit of a single-stack vs. double-stack subcompact pistol?

A single-stack subcompact, like the Kahr PM9, is typically slimmer and easier to conceal deeply. A double-stack subcompact, such as the Sig Sauer P365, offers a higher round capacity within a similar footprint, balancing concealability with firepower.

Why is the Glock 19 considered a standard compact size?

The Glock 19 is presented as the standard compact size handgun, often featuring a barrel length of approximately 4 inches. It represents a balance between concealability and shootability, making it a popular choice for many concealed carriers.
