Frequently Asked Questions

How has concealed carry handgun technology evolved since 2008?

Concealed carry handgun technology has significantly evolved. Older models like the Kahr CW9 (2008) typically had lower capacities (6+1), poorer trigger quality, and more recoil. Modern firearms such as the SIG P365 Legion offer much higher capacities (17+1), superior triggers, and better recoil management, often with features like integrated compensators.

What were the main drawbacks of older concealed carry handguns like the Kahr CW9?

The Kahr CW9, representative of older EDC designs, suffered from a low 6+1 round capacity, a described 'abysmal' trigger pull, and substantial recoil for a 9mm. These factors made it less practical and less effective compared to contemporary concealed carry options available today.

What advantages does a modern handgun like the SIG Sauer P365 Legion offer for EDC?

The SIG Sauer P365 Legion provides a substantial capacity of 17+1 rounds, a trigger pull that is 'lightyears ahead' of older models with a smooth reset, and significantly reduced recoil, especially with its integrated compensator. These features offer a considerable tactical advantage for everyday carry.

Why is it important to compare older and newer concealed carry firearms?

Comparing older and newer concealed carry firearms helps appreciate the technological and mechanical breakthroughs in firearm design. This comparison highlights the significant improvements in performance, capacity, and shootability, allowing users to better understand and respect the advantages offered by modern weapon systems.
