Quoted:
Time for me to get my VA CHP permit. I know the most popular answer is a Glock 19. However I can not stand my pinky finger hanging below the mag. Do the mag extensions work? Where I work firearms are banned, so I never got a CHP since I could never use it 95% of the time. I would also like to minimize the ammo sizes so I would prefer a .45 that conceals well (but could stock 9mm if needed). What would you recommend? My budget is $500 - $1000. Thanks ETA: I should add...The firearm I own that fits my hands best is the Glock 21. That is a bit to big to conceal carry IMO. Walther PPQ (available in 9mm, .40 and .45)

Sometimes more than one of those. A glock 21 isn't to big to carry. I'm wearing my czsp01 and my sigp938 right now. Jeans, under shirt,short sleeve fitted button up. |

S&W M&P Shield
Best thing you can do OP is go to the gun shop and fondle a few and see what feels good in your hands? What trigger feels good? If you can see if a friend or two have a gun you can shoot S&W M&P Shield

Quote HistoryQuoted: CZ Rami, HK P30sk, S & W Shield, all in 9mm I love my Rami. They make a grip extension that goes on a 14rd mag that gives your pinky somewhere to go. I carry a 10rd in the gun and a 14rd as a spare. |

G30S It's almost exactly the same size as a Glock 19 - which does not fit OP's hand. |

My little finger below the magazine doesn't bother me at all.

My hand hangs off the edge of an HK P2000 just enough that I pinch it during a reload. To keep that from happening, I carry a P30 magazine for my reload as it is slightly longer.
The P30 and the VP9 have a slightly longer grip but still conceal well. I carry appendix so I prefer a hammer fired gun for safety reasons so the P2000 or the P30 get carried. The VP9 shoots so well with the sweet trigger though. If I need to go slim, I carry a Kahr K9. Grip is way shorter but I like how slim it is and practice with it often. |

Glock 30S & Ruger LCP
These are my two main CC pistols. The LCP can be carried in basically any clothing, any time, anywhere, period. The Glock 30S can be carried anywhere you can wear casual cloths and aren't restricted by a uniform, suite etc. Though a tailored suite could account for it... |

I should add...The firearm I own that fits my hands best is the Glock 21. That pinky finger not being on the grip annoys the crap out of me. That is a bit to big to conceal carry IMO. Here's the problem. Anything big enough to accommodate your oversized nose pickers is going to be a pita to conceal. The hardest part of a gun to conceal is the length of grip. Hence the G19, G26 and G43 popularity with the ccw crowd. You can learn. It might annoy you now, but get a 19 and shoot the shit out of it. After a while, it won't annoy you anymore and it's not like 9mm has a bunch of recoil. The other option is get a 17 and really work at dressing around it.....But it's going to be a pita to conceal any full size frame pistol because the grip is so long. |

Your pinky doesn't fit on a G19? Just how big are your hands? 
I don't own one, but the HK45 compact is pretty sweet. My thought also. G19 grip is quite large. |

I am going to be unpopular for this, but I'm going to post it anyway. All of the major brands make good pistols. None is particularly better than the others. Go to a rental range and try the ones you like, and see what works best for you.

Well I also have PPQ M2s but in 9mm and Glock 19s, and I carry the Glock. PPQ is great but I also have a 26 and 29, I can carry between the 3 and they all feel similar. You can get everything you need for a PPQ, of course the selection is more limited. |
