 What is the best caliber choice in the sub-compacts for carry? i'm leaning to the G33 .357sig. Also what ammo selection for your choice? thanks

What can I say, I roll with shorts and sandals 80% of the time. Because the weather permits it where I'm at (Southern CA, Southern NV, Northern AZ).

Not a big fan of .357 SIG due to not being able to find ammo or components in as many places. + 1 I would go with a 9mm, locally I can always find 9mm's but very rarely see any .357 Sig ammo available Funny because I've thought about getting a .357 Sig Glock just because my local Walmart has a decent stock of it, but rarely 9mm. Unfortunatly, 'she who must be obeyed' doesn't think that's a good enough reason to buy another gun. I may still start stocking up on ammo...just in case. |

It's the only way to go!

Hey, you gotta keep the brass supply flowing  .

I think they generate a bit too much recoil for a little fellow. As others have said, I would recommend shooting it first before settling on a caliber like that. I like my G26. |

Depends on your criteria, G30 for shear firepower, G26 for 9mm concealability. Not a big fan of .357 SIG due to not being able to find ammo or components in as many places. I would be concerned with the G30. The short barrel can hamper the ballistics of the .45 ACP and I would consider carrying it if i was carrying a Glock 21 as my primary gun. Otherwise I would stick with a 9mm, .40 S&W, or .357 Sig in a subcompact if I am not going to carry a full size gun. |
