So I am tired of trying to stuff a bunch of crap in my right hand front pocket including wallet, billfold, keys, etc all because my pocket pistol occupies my left hand front pocket. Its time to buy a reasonable all season concealed carry pistol I can carry IWB on my stong side (left) and free up the pocket for stuff that is actually supposed to be carried there.
I dont have any mid or small sized auto that fit my criteria currently and so I am hoping ARF can point me in the right direction. I have a few requirements however:
1. I prefer it to be DA/SA with a decocker. I love my wifes CZ-P01 but I think it may be a bit too heavy for summer CCW and I dont "need" 14+1 capacity.
2. It must be concealable year round and summer in NC is HOT, shorts and t-shirt weather.
3. I have several full size (USP, M&P) and they are a definite no go. I want something small (not Keltec small but reasonable), something that works in a IWB holster and is confortable sitting, standing, driving, etc.
4. I am undecided on caliber and loyal to none. Since its a CCW, i will practice with it but ammo cost is not a factor. If .357 sig or 10mm is the best choice, I am fine with it.
5. Huge capacity is not important. If a single stack is the best choice I am OK with that.
6. As I stated I am south paw, so I prefer ambi controls. Its not imperative but it sure would be nice.
7. Polymer or alloy guns are fine, as I said, it needs to be reasonably light where a modest belt will support it.
So, there you go. Where should I be looking? I realize this will be a compromise but I appreciate any advice in what direction to head.
