Not sure there is a best carry gun. You will have to decide which is best for you. There are many EXCELLENT carry guns. Which brands/models do you currently shoot?

You can even find drum magazines for it, for those days when 10 rounds just wont cut it....

Here are a few online opinions of best carry handguns to get you started:

• Top 10 Concealed Carry Guns | Everything Buds

By the way, I assume you mean concealed carry.

The one that fits your hand is reliable easy to conceal hit your target with. And holds lots of boolits. For me its my m&p9c.

Theoretically, could you just add a stock to that and have a cheap rifle?

Yeah, there's really no "best". Some fulfill certain requirements better than others, though. Aside from an 11+ capacity (which pretty much narrows the selection to non-pocket pistol semi-automatics) have you any other criteria that might help us suggest some pistols you might wish to consider? Because in the end all we really can do is make some suggestions - you're going to want to handle (and preferably shoot) them before you decide on one.

If you did the tax stamp for a SBR, yes. Although since that's a .22, I'm not sure if that would be "cheap" or not by the time you paid for the gun, stock, and stamp.

There is no "best". Different people will weight different aspects more important than others. Size, weight, caliber, capacity, brand, trigger feel, grip angle, presence of a rail, sight style, availability of aftermarket grips/stocks, sights, steel or polymer, action type (DA/SA, DAO, striker fired, SAO), etc.

There are a ton of good options, though. None of my carry guns would meet your criteria, as I don't care about having 10 round magazines. My Sig P220 is 8+1, and my other two carry guns are revolvers, 6 shot and 5 shot respectively. My personal choice would be the 1911 if my department authorized them, again not a 10 round mag.


I wrote a guide for selecting a carry weapon based on YOUR parameters, not what other people decided using THEIR parameters, here: https://www.indianagunowners.com/fo..._self_defense/273631-carry_gun_selection.html

Take a look if you like, might answer some questions you have.

I agree that you have to decide what is the best carry gun for you bit I also think this is a great place to get other peoples opinions and some information. My opinion is the glock 19.

 

[Marine1]

Glock 27 for me maybe you should shoot a few different ones first to see what you like

 

[Classic]

Try a Springfield XDs on. I think it's the best.

 

[whitetailbowhunter]

Try the Smith and Wesson M&P9C. I love mine and would recommend it to anyone as a CC weapon.

 

[commonality]

The best carry gun is the one you have on you. Really though, it nice to have options. It's nice to have different guns for different roles.

 

[killshot500]

well i have a tactical remington 870 for home defense and a xdm 4.5 9mm that i believe is the greatest gun ever but its a little big to cc i was thinkin glock 19 or something i would like to have 10+rds

Best for you or best for me?

The gun you can afford, can handle, is comfortable to carry, and you feel is reliable enough to bet your life on.

Heckler & Koch USP .40 compact or Glock 32. My opinion for what it's worth.
