Frequently Asked Questions

What are the most important factors when choosing a concealed carry firearm?

When choosing a concealed carry firearm, prioritize reliability, how it shoots, how it feels in your hand, and the quality of its trigger. These performance-based factors are more critical than aesthetic features like color, especially for a tool intended for self-defense.

Why are smaller guns sometimes harder to shoot for concealed carry?

Smaller guns often have less mass, which means they absorb less recoil. This results in more felt recoil and muzzle rise for the shooter, making them potentially harder to control and shoot accurately, particularly for less experienced individuals.

What makes the Sig Sauer P365 Rose package a good choice for concealed carry?

The Sig Sauer P365 Rose package is praised for its reliability, optics-ready design, and comprehensive kit that includes training tools, snap caps, and an assist loader. It's backed by experienced shooters and offers a well-rounded introduction to concealed carry.

What are the drawbacks of firearms like the SCCY CPX-2 for new concealed carriers?

The SCCY CPX-2 is criticized for potential unreliability and a heavy 9lb double-action-only trigger pull. This combination makes it difficult to shoot accurately and learn on, which are crucial aspects for a first concealed carry firearm.
