Choosing a Concealed Carry Pistol
I have been wanting to get a new handgun for concealed carry. With that said - I am not super well versed on handguns but just want something dependable, that feels good, and is highly concealable. I am also wanting a manual safety for peace of mind.
With the research I have done I have grown to really want the S&W CSX E-Series. It seems to do extremely well in every comparison and I have yet to hear about anyone not liking it or having any issues with it. The problem I am running into is that it is not a particularly popular gun, so the ranges around me don’t have it available for rentals to try it and see how it feels. Would it be a terrible idea for me to buy it without ever shooting it? I’d love to hear your advice and if you think it’s necessary, other recommendations.
My key points are:
- highly concealable
- manual safety
- 9mm
- under $700
Let me know what you think!
