This discussion explores concealed carry pistol choices, focusing on the Walther P99 and Smith & Wesson Airweight. It delves into the preference for DA/SA or striker-fired DA/SA actions for safety and familiarity, and the importance of balancing firearm size with concealability. The conversation also covers holster and belt selection, the debate around carrying spare magazines, and the critical role of consistent training for maintaining proficiency with your chosen carry firearm.

Quick Summary

For concealed carry, the Walther P99's DA/SA trigger offers enhanced safety with its longer pull, particularly around children. Mid-sized pistols like the P99 balance shootability with concealability, and a rigid carry belt is essential for support. While spare magazines increase firepower, their necessity in defensive scenarios is statistically low, making it a trade-off with concealability.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the advantages of a DA/SA trigger for concealed carry?

A Double-Action Single-Action (DA/SA) trigger, like on the Walther P99, offers a longer, heavier initial pull. This can provide an added layer of safety, especially when carrying a firearm around children, as it reduces the risk of accidental discharge compared to a short, light trigger pull.

What is the ideal size for a concealed carry pistol?

The ideal size for a concealed carry pistol often lies between full-sized duty guns and sub-compacts. This mid-size range, exemplified by the Walther P99, offers a more comfortable and secure grip for most users, enhancing shootability while still being manageable for concealment.

How important is a rigid carry belt for concealed carry?

A rigid carry belt, such as a Core Belt, is crucial for concealed carry. It provides the necessary support to prevent the firearm and holster from sagging, ensuring a consistent draw and maintaining the firearm's position throughout the day, which is vital for both comfort and accessibility.

Should I carry a spare magazine for concealed carry?

Carrying a spare magazine for concealed carry is a personal decision based on risk assessment and concealability. While it increases your available ammunition, the statistical likelihood of needing reloads in a defensive encounter is low, and it can impact how easily you can conceal your firearm.
