| Currently edc a canik mete mc9. Also have lcp2 for pocket carry. Full size (which i don't conceal carry) is an Echelon. I like them a ton. Shoot all of them pretty well for what they are and all three are super reliable. I've been thinking king about adding another gun for concealed carry that is a bit larger than the canik. Maybe an Echelon 4.0c or a g19 or a vp9, something that size. Every time I think I've convinced myself what to buy I keep getting this thought of how I can slap a 15 or 17 round mag in the canik, and I shoot it well. Buy another one just like it? Is there a reason to have a larger gun carry than what I already have is the capacity is the same? Thank you for supporting my over analyzing again |

| I'd recommend a first world made gun for carry. Sig P365 and G43X are my main CCW. |

I never understood the extended mag dislike. I hear people complain they dont like the feel or that it pinches them. Thankfully I dont have that issue with really any extended mag on any gun ive used. So give me the option of a 10 or 15 round grip length in the same gun for CC carry over one that is limited to a 15 round mag minimum. |

| Maybe just get a MC9L or LS or Prime? Longer grip than the smaller MC9 but not much larger overall. Or have you tried carrying the Echelon? With the right holster/belt combo I find a Glock 17/22 isn’t really any harder to conceal than a Glock 19/23. |

I'm sitting a ton during the day and typically carry about 4:00 |
