Hey All,
So I just completed the Utah CCW class - shout out to the Worthy's at Worth-A-Shot! So now I want to shop around for a new CCW friendly pistol, while facing some challenges.
The smallest gun I have right now is a Glock 19, and although I have an IWB holster for it, I've learned that with my ahem husky frame, and lacko butt, that combo just ain't gonna work, even at 3 o'clock. My pants sag enough without a holster weighing it down even more. I've got a gut, so appendix carry is out too. The final kicker, I've also got chubby drummer hands, as seen below.
So, given the above, I figure I'll give side carry in either a belly band, or one of those CC T-Shirts a try. Which leaves me to gun selection. My initial thought is maybe a Glock 26, or Ruger LCR, but curious I if someone here on the forum has already faced these challenges and can maybe help narrow the search down, and I'll start renting sub compacts and mini revolvers from a short list, and see what out of that lot I shoot best.
Here's a pic of my chubby paw as compared to my Glock 19 for scale, if it helps.
