Frequently Asked Questions

What is considered the 'perfect size' firearm for everyday carry?

The 'perfect size' firearm balances concealability, shootability, and capacity. Compact pistols like the Glock 26, CZ P10S, and Taurus G3C are often cited as ideal, offering versatility for both concealed carry and home defense without being too bulky.

Why are micro-nine handguns not always the best choice for all-around use?

While excellent for concealed carry, micro-nine handguns may compromise shootability and recoil management compared to slightly larger compact firearms. They are great for carrying but might not be the 'perfect' all-around firearm for every situation.

What makes the Glock 26 a versatile firearm for everyday carry?

The Glock 26 is highly versatile because it offers a good balance of concealability and shootability. It can also be easily adapted with larger magazines and accessories to function as a home defense firearm, effectively bridging the gap between EDC and home protection.

Are larger handguns like the Glock 19 suitable for everyday concealed carry?

While many people carry firearms like the Glock 19, they can be prone to 'printing' (showing through clothing) and may be considered too bulky or heavy for comfortable all-day concealed carry by some individuals, depending on their body type and clothing.
