Fits in my pocket. I know it's not ideal, but it works for me. If it was up to me I'd open carry, but I don't have that option. IWB doesn't do it for me. |

 I hate the bulk and weight of double stack guns when CCW'ing IWB. God love you guys who do it but I can't stand it. Thankfully for me, Glock finally came out the the G48, a gun I dreamed about for years. Then SA came out with their 15rd mags for the 48 and made the dream even better. Now I basically have almost all of the benefits of carrying a G19 but with a better grip and without the extra bulk and weight. When I need something smaller, I use a G43 but will be switching that out to a P365x soon. I would love to see a P365 in G48 sized package. |

For single stacks I go with either a G43, G42 or an LCP depending on what I’m doing (have a variety of holsters and gear for carrying).
When I carry something that is not a single stack, it’s usually a P365. All of you listing 43X, 48, P365, P365XL, G19’s, those are not single stack guns

I have been daily carrying a Sig P938 since late 2015.
Carried an LC9s, P238, and LCP before that. I sold the LC9s, gave away the P238, still have several LCPs and a P290 as back-ups, which are all single stacks. |

I don't think many people who carry a 45 ACP 1911 pistol with 8+1 rounds in it would feel "under-gunned".
Even someone else does think that the person who carries a 1911 is under-gunned, it really isn't any of their business in any case. We could launch into discussing various firearms studies that claim the average number of rounds fired per "encounter" are between 3 and 7 rounds, but there are usually other studies that come to other conclusions and most people will believe what ever their pre-held conclusions were in any case. So I'll avoid trying to enter into such a discussion. Those who would feel "under-gunned" with 9 rounds of 45 ACP ammo in a pistol can easily switch to carrying something else. Although I sort of question whether a pistol containing 10+1 rounds of 380 ammo (double stack compact pistol) is a better choice than 8+1 rounds of 45 ACP. Regardless of whether someone else wants to carry the 380 with it's capacity, or the 1911 with it's capacity, it is still none of my business what someone else wants to carry. |

Carried Glock 23 (or 32) everywhere for over 3 years.
Started thinking about if there was ever a nationwide AWB with no grandfathering how I would dislike carrying the 23 with a stupid artificially limited 10 round mag. Went back to carrying a lightweight CMD 1911 for over a month, I was like they won't make me carry stupid 10 round mags, I'm already carrying less than that, by choice.  I can carry the 23/32 or 1911 under a untucked shirt, so either is easy to carry and I shoot both well. Went back to the 23 for now. 1911 + two spare mags 23 (or 32) + one spare mag About the same total rounds carried either way. I bought the 32 during the asinine 94-2004 AWB so it came with two stupid 10 round mags which I could use if there was ever a worthless nationwide AWB and no grandfathering but I find the idea of it disagreeable on principle. |

K frames have been a recent thing for me but they weigh pretty close to 1911s. I carried a 4" redhawk for a year. THAT was a boat anchor. |

I've carried a 9mm Shield for several years now and love it. If I need something smaller for deeper concealment, I carry a Glock 42.
For me, single stacks are enough slimmer that they are more comfortable to carry and more concealable. As long as you can carry a decent gun, concealment is one of the most important issues to me, so I am willing to go to what some consider a somewhat inferior gun to get better concealment. For me, double stack guns conceal much worse, so I carry single stack. I will occasionally carry my G19 during the winter, when I am wearing heavier clothes and can more effectively conceal it, but even then, I mostly carry my Shield. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: G43 and a Shield. Have been seriously considering a Springfield Hellcat though Me too but It just doesn't seem like it is worth the cost. All the single stacks I own cost me between $300-$350. Millions of Americans have successful carried 6-8 + 1 single stack semiautos for decades to this day without issue. Then the P365 and Hellcat come along and all of a sudden they aren't good enough. We're going to be killed in a gun fight unless we have 3 more rounds. We have come up with rationalizations that aren't based in statistics or reality to support buying the lastest and greatest. Disregarding inernet folklore and fearmongering, I've come to the realization that it's just not worth it. I'm content and accurate with what I already have, and don't feel the need to repetitively "upgrade" my carry gun evetytime something new comes out. |

That's not even including G19x, G45, G17's etc.. There is no way to know, but I HIGHLY doubt there are more CCW'd G19s than even just Shields and G43s. I know A LOT of LE that own a G19 and carry (off duty) the 43. My family members that CCW: Sig 938, Sig 365, LCP, Shield, G43, and a Colt Govt 380. Coworkers: Makarov 9x18 single stack, PPK/S, Sig 238, Shield 9. Minister: Glock 43. Neighbors: LCP, Glock 42, Smith 3913, Bond Arms derringer type. One neighbor owns a G19 but carries a G42...the 19 is his nightstand gun (which I believe to be the case for a lot of high capacity 9mm gun owners ... they have one that sits at home while a single stack 380 or 9mm rides on their person as a CCW). I know of two couples that are immediate neighbors that carry, and another neighbor has applied for his and his wife's CCW. He was asking about ... drumroll ... Glock 43s and Shield 9s and single stack XDs. He's a giant too (I'm guessing 6'-5"). My FFL friend: Glock 42. His wife: LCP. My Goruck team: XD single stack, Glock 30, 2x Glock 43, Glock 42, 1911. In fact, I think I'm the only person I know that ever actually carries a G19 and it is RARELY (only when having to travel to certain areas wherein I feel the need to have 15+1 and a WML). I have an uncle that OCCASIONALLY carries a PPQ American but 99% of the time its a Sig 938. His wife / my aunt carries a Sig 365 or 5" steel framed Sig 1911. She's only 5'-2" tall (has a CCW purse), but freaking LOVES that gun. Every holiday she pulls it out to show me (or at least talks about her last range trip with it ... usually accompanied with pics of her targets). ETA: to the OP's question ... Yes. 5" steel framed, 45Acp, single stack "boat anchor" 1911. Pulled out of my holster and sat on the nightstand when I climbed in bed 27 minutes ago. That means it was in my holster for about 16 hours today. The wager that a double stack "full size" (mid size by the standards of 2 to 3 decades ago) handgun is the "most CCW'd gun in America" is a bold. How many new double stacks have been released in the past 5 years? How many new single stacks have been released? The buyers drive the market. |
