I carry a shield 9 most of the time. 8 round mag with a magguts plus1 conversion gives me 9 rounds plus one in the chamber. This is comfortable to carry all day. I've tried carrying a g19 and m&p 2.0 compact, but the shield really is my limit for comfortable all day carry. In the summer when it's hot, the lcp ii rides in my pocket in a desantis nemesis pocket holster. Don't even know it's there. I have a Taurus 856 38 revolver that's also in the rotation, but the shield is my go to 9 months out of the year
I'm surprised the S&W M&P Bodyguard 380 didn't make the list. 6+1 capacity, roughly the same size as the LCP II, very high build quality. I have a lot of fun shooting mine at the range. Despite the long, heavy double-action trigger, it shoots very well. Literally the first magazine I ever shot through mine was a group of less than 4 inches, at 7 yards. I don't think it's because I'm such a great shot, because I'm not. It's because the gun is very accurate and predictable for a pocket pistol.
I've had a first generation Ruger LCP for years and it is both very accurate and ergonomic. It has a Viridian green laser with it that I added to replace the red laser it came with. The down side to the LCP is, unlike the LCPII, the slide doesn't lock back after last round fired and there is no manual safety. The LCPII, although improved, still lacks a manual safety. My new S&W M&P Bodyguard has all the benefits I was looking for in a pocket pistol and is nearly identical in weight to my LCP. It also has a green laser which is superior to a red laser in brightness at night. The only downside to the Bodyguard with the laser is the cost... $500. That said, the Bodyguard has all the features I was looking for in a pocket carry pistol, and the cost of extra mags (it comes with two) on the internet is around $15 each, if you prefer more mags. Unfortunately you cannot get the same magazine finger extension the pistol comes with, but the cost of the magazine is so low, that is not an issue. Both the LCP and the Bodyguard are very similar in size and weight and have the same round capacity. The .380 round is definitely not as powerful as a 9mm round, but for close-in confrontations, I'm sure it is sufficient to deal with an attacker.
When speaking of ultra concealable pistols Kahr should always been mentioned. I have 3 (PM40, MK9 & P380) and they’re all my go-to carry pistols. The P365 is great but I just love the smooth DA trigger on the Kahr’s. They’re so underrated.
I dig my Glock 42 with TLR6 light. I carry it with me when I run, or am just working in the yard. It's super small and actually comfortable to hold and shoot. For anything more serious, but not full sized, I carry my FNS9c. Thanks for keeping these entertaining and educational short videos coming!
My EDC is the DB9, and I work in an office environment - that is concealability. I also have the Taurus PT111 G2, and it is an awesome compact! Funny thing, too, is that the G2 is almost identical in every aspect to my XDS .45 3.3!
I bought the Taurus g2c just because of the price point figuring doesn't hurt to have an extra gun.. and it's become one of my favorite guns. It replaced my glock 26 as my everyday carry matter of fact I sold the Glock.. it's way more comfortable to Shoe Fits way better in the hand then it's about the same size as the 26.. plus it has more features I like the external safety and the loaded chamber indicator... I have 1700 rounds through it and it runs completely flawless.. my wife's just picked one up and has 500 rounds through hers massingill malfunction.. Taurus hit a homerun with that gun
I really think you left out a consideration for the G2C. It's no LCP2 but it's an extremely capable carry gun. I carry it every day in Goose Creek and Mt P (where I work).
I carry my G2c a lot as well. It's just such a damn good carry gun lol I mostly carry my Glock 26 but I love the feel in the hand and carry of the G2c.
@@robl884 Yemassee, SC and Beaufort, SC. I own a company that builds ice vending machines and I buy and flip large tracts of land. Doing a good bit in Myrtle Beach and Brunswick, Ga.
@@christheb00g3yman9 I love me some 1911! But in this case, it's kind of an apples and oranges comparison. 1911 isn't exactly what I would call it the ultimate carry gun and it isn't exactly a micro-compact!😎
I would personally take (in no particular order) M&P Shield, PPQ SC, PPS M2 & XDs before anything in your list. I just shoot them all better than anything I've tried from your list.
It’s heavy as hell by comparison and the snappiest gun I’ve ever shot. And the takedown with that recoil rod is just stupid and not thought out. It’s a nice gun to have in the collection but it really doesn’t even come close to any of these. Let’s not forget those super sharp edges in the mags too. My wife insisted on the smallest 9m she could get with a manual saftey.. ala 938. But it’s a piece of junk imop and borderline unshotable.
@@fishrrelaxing9361, I have no problems with this pistol and it perfectly fits my specific application. I'm accurate with it and even my younger cousins who aren't seasoned shooters shoot it effectively. To each their own. Many good carry options nowadays as we're in the golden age of firearms.
@@fishrrelaxing9361 buddy of mine Carrie's one. I personally think all single stack 9mms are about the same in the recoil department... there all snappy they all suck....(compared to full size) putting that aside I think it's quite a shootable gun
I was carrying the 43, but I couldn't resist using wobbly mag extensions and then adjusting my carry position to accommodate the grip length. So naturally, I ended up getting a 48, which I keep my 43 slide on for carry most of the time- works for me. LCPII for deep carry. I still keep a LC9S around, too- a great carry gun.
I currently am carrying a gen 3 26 and I love it. I have other options like lcp, Bersa Thunder 380, and g 43 as far as easy to conceal options. Great video as always.
The perfect concealed carry gun is one with a 4" barrel, with a 5" or less long handle, 10 plus round flush-fitting conceal carry magazine, with a 15 plus follow-up, or secondary defense magazine that will protrude from the conceal carry gun handle. You'll need a flush-fitting magazine for concealment of the gun and a high capacity followup magazine that holds as need bullets as possible for defense
Give me the Sig P365! 10+1 with flush magazine, best shooter on the list, night sights out of the box! To me every gun is fighting for runner-up. GREAT GUN!!!!
Robert Buchanan What about when it breaks after your first shot? Then it has a 1 round capacity. However, as a paperweight it still serves a purpose. Too many strikers have broken on the 365 to be recommended for concealed carry. You are only using your concealed carry gun to immediately save your life from murder. That’s not the time to be hoping your gun doesn’t fail. Hey, but at least it looks cool.
Hogh308 I usually shoot twice a week, have over 3,000 rounds through my P365. Those firing pins have been fixed it’s a non issue just like with P320 firing when dropped! I’m not worried about my gun going boom when I need it. You should give them a try great gun!
@@Libertarian_Neighbor That was the first Gen 365, those issues are long gone. The same thing held true with first Gen Glocks only they went BooMMMMMM! lol
I carry a Beretta PX4 Storm Compact everyday. For at least 12 hours. I've even fallen asleep with it on me, it's so comfortable. I think a big factor in that is the holster. I strong side carry an Aliengear Cloaktuck 3.5.
Great list! I was surprised by that other Sig. My list would be something like this: M&P Shield, Glock 42/43 (either or), Taurus G2S (assuming it’s as good as the G2C), Sig P365, and the new Mossberg pistol (because it takes Glock mags).
You should pick-up or borrow a Ruger EC9s and shoot it. I have one with a Crimson Trace laser red dot on it and the whole package has cost me around $550. It's almost as small as that LCP2, shoots and adequate cartridge, is a 7+1 and is quite smooth for a 9mm. I find it to be a pure pleasure to shoot, even without the pinky plate on the magazine and as such I think it is absolutely the best ultra concealable on the market. Fits in my pocket with no printing at all, has legendary Ruger reliability and durability as well as customer service. I'm not a Glock fan, something about an Austrian corporal making a fuss over there in the middle of the last century. I just prefer an American company like Ruger, and my whole EDC setup cost less than those Glocks, and my money stayed here in the US.
I have a Glock 43 and Taurus Spectrum 380, both very small and just purchased the DB9 Gen 4 because of the TH-cam reviews like yours. Keep up the great work.
I have ccw for 40 yrs n I go with a Sig P938 with extended mag, or a NAA Black Widow 22mag during summer months. A Glock 26 n 43 are great as well. I tend to pocket carry in my old age, so even a 21A works well. Carry one in the pipe folks, as you'll never rack a slide under pressure.
The db9 and the 380 are two of my favs, but they’re not reliable at all for self defense. pint and shoot works if you train, it’s way more efficient too. Watch quick draw shooters, they usually file off their sites. But shoot how you train.
I have a P3665 and a LCPII in 380. (I also have the LCPII in 22 for plinking). Both the 365 and the 380 I have Laser. The hope is if a threat sees a Red dot on their body they might rethink what their doing.
So here are the 2 ultra concealed carry I have due to not being rich lol I have a ruger ec9 s love it for ultra concealed carry and Wes 229 brand new 500 rounds so far no issues and yes I bought a used gun a M& p bodyguard with laser for 275 I carry it in my pocket with a sticky holster and no one would ever know it’s there .
So this is pre Hellcat but the top 2 are the P365 the Hellcat and the DB AM2. Then the single stacks like the BP9cc the shield and the XDE and XDS also the DB9 gen 4 or the P938 and 911 if you like the SA only 1911 style. That's my list of what is the top because glocks are all 2 damn fat because of the plastic mags which are thick as shit.
I have the Rugar LCP II. Put a laser on it and you don't even have to aim, just dial in the laser to your sights and you will have a point and shoot weapon. Good times..
i agree with a lot of the comments.if ultra conceilable was the game,you left the shield 9 and the bodyguard out of it,and not only are they probably the best sellers but also arguably the most reliable.i carry the shield and for concealed carry i love it.plus i can shoot it very accurately.
I'll take an apex triggered Shield or stock Taurus G2C over all of these. Spend a couple of hundred bucks and have ballistic blue nylon pockets sewn onto the back of all your jeans in place of your stock pockets and do a right back pocket super comfortable carry of those 2 pistols that beats all of those uncomfortable kydex holsters and you are set to go!
Remembering concealsbility, I carry the Ruger 380ACP in my pocket, with a spare magazine. The mags have the optional finger bottom mounted which gives big handed guys a better grip. And being a close-in gun, for maximum damage I load it with R.I.P ammo. Two in the throat area will be most sufficient.
I have the lcp2 with red dot and carry it more than anything else. like you said it practically disappears in the pocket.Sweat pants, shorts, whatever. It is great- I have 3 of these guns on his list but prefer the Ruger to carry. Ordered a SIG 365 last week so we will see--
When you referred to point and shoot as stupid, well, that was stupid. In real life situations it is mostly point and shoot and people should practice point and shoot as much as aiming.
When are we gonna get some double/single action ultra-compacts? The SIG P365xl but with a hammer would be perfect. Strikers are sleek and futuristic, but why the hell are ultra-compacts only made striker-fired? Don't you all miss the juicy yum yum of a single action trigger pull?
My wife carries her CZ-75D, on which I've mounted adjustable IPA fiber optic sights onto with a Crimson Trace laser grip and 15 round Mec-Gar low friction coated magazines. I put adjustable fiber optic sights from IPA, which don't snag, on my P290RS in addition to the complete Galloway Precision trigger kit and it's now the best pocket gun I've ever carried. (I live in Florida, so it fits my cargo shorts...lol) But, whenever I'm in a suit or otherwise require a smaller piece, my TCP with Galloway Precision spring set is a nice option too. I wish we had open carry in Florida so I could carry my high polish stainless CZ-75B with IPA fiber optic sights and Crimson Trace laser grips. Hopefully our elected officials will actually represent us one day instead of appeasing the hysterical looney of the week by granting us this right since most other states already do. One can always dream, right?
I'll keep my Kel-Tec P3AT .380 with the 9 round shaped extended mags - small as the LCP, better ergo (with those mags, anyway) and they just run and run. Not pleasant to shoot with the standard mag, but put the extendeds in, and it's a game changer (and still very concealable)
For up-close and personal, I prefer a snubby with a six or even a seven shot cylinder. They are more reliable, and when chambered for .357/.38+P, you won't need more than six rounds to handle most situations. Lets face it, 10 or more round magazines is just Hollywood crap. More than likely you will never have to use your firearm in the first place. And if you do, its usually up close, not in a shootout across the street. I guess I'm just old school, but a revolver is my preference for conceal carry.
I prefer my Smith and Wesson Performance Center Shields. Now the the new Performance Center. 380 is out on the market it will be a major player in this market. Personally, since the EPA has banned the chemicals used in the popular Glock models, many will never be Made in the USA. Therefore I will avoid all Glocks and Springfield pistols made in Austria. Croatia, etc. Thanks for your video.
I love my shield 45 , it's the perfect size and weight as far as I'm concerned, not sure why a shield is not on your list it may be more popular than any you showed , I also have the Sig p365 , love it lol and I also have the lcp 2 awesome little gun lol , not much of a glock fan though.
I actually just picked up one of the Beretta APX Carry models, and absolutely love it. I also have a Sig P365 which pretty much hits the sweet spot of # of rounds, concealability, and ease of shooting. But while the Beretta carries less at 7 or 8 rounds depending on magazine, and is a bit bigger -- it is standing toe to toe with the P365, AND it is waaaay easier to shoot. Just feels good in the hand, and shoots so smoothly -- I definitely wasn't expecting that from a gun this size. Another option for folks to consider.
Honestly I like the Taurus Spectrum over the LCP/LCP2. True double action, good trigger, better 7 Rnd magazine baseplate design (takes a page from some of the old snubnose revolver concealed carry grips), and the rubber coating on all the parts where recoil and vibration affect your hand. Its a great design. It's not just pretty colors. My list would be Taurus Spectrum, Ruger .38 LCR w/ laser grips, glock 42/43, Sig P365, and Taurus G2C.

Bersa Thunder 380 cc model carries easily...8+1 rounds...
Kahr Pm9. Very high quality and small for a 9mm.
The db9 and the 380 are two of my favs, but they’re not reliable at all for self defense.
pint and shoot works if you train, it’s way more efficient too. Watch quick draw shooters, they usually file off their sites. But shoot how you train.
M&P Shield all day! If P365 was available is CA, I’d have that too.
The taurus g2c is pretty damn concealeable
sure is an Taurus has really turned their quality around
gonna be hard to beat that SIG
I have a P3665 and a LCPII in 380. (I also have the LCPII in 22 for plinking). Both the 365 and the 380 I have Laser. The hope is if a threat sees a Red dot on their body they might rethink what their doing.
Sig P365 carriers thumbs up
agree!! or the 938...im buyin the 365 tomorrow!
Taurus Spectrum or TCP. I have A TCP and I’m able to get hits on a bowling pin at 25yds
Sig P938 SAS absolutely should be included here. It's a 938 with carry melt treatment! Amazing little pistol.
I carry a CZ 75 Rami. also have a 380 pico. sits nice in a pocket.
Technically the first “slimline” glock is the G36 in .45.
At least someone else knows the correct history 🙂
Kahr pm9, bersa thunder 380 (C and plus), lws seacamp 380, Naa guardian 380 and Taurus G2C.
Cant beat the Springfield hellcat
DIFFENENTLY Revolers are also
Effective.
The Hellcat by Springfield is also
a good choice.
Amen.
Sig p238. Light weight, easy shooter and really nice trigger.
I like mine. The P365 isn’t much bigger though, and it carries great. I like both, but I’ve been carrying the P365 a lot more.
If someone wants a great ccw in .380, the Bersa thunder .380cc is a great gun . 9 rounds of .380 in a 16oz gun isnt too shabby.
So here are the 2 ultra concealed carry I have due to not being rich lol I have a ruger ec9 s love it for ultra concealed carry and Wes 229 brand new 500 rounds so far no issues and yes I bought a used gun a M& p bodyguard with laser for 275 I carry it in my pocket with a sticky holster and no one would ever know it’s there .
So this is pre Hellcat but the top 2 are the P365 the Hellcat and the DB AM2. Then the single stacks like the BP9cc the shield and the XDE and XDS also the DB9 gen 4 or the P938 and 911 if you like the SA only 1911 style. That's my list of what is the top because glocks are all 2 damn fat because of the plastic mags which are thick as shit.
I’m actually a little shocked that the shield wasn’t listed.
I have the Rugar LCP II. Put a laser on it and you don't even have to aim, just dial in the laser to your sights and you will have a point and shoot weapon. Good times..
I carry the P290rs (with the regular sig grip) when I want deep concealment, haven't found anything better. M&P Shield otherwise.
i agree with a lot of the comments.if ultra conceilable was the game,you left the shield 9 and the bodyguard out of it,and not only are they probably the best sellers but also arguably the most reliable.i carry the shield and for concealed carry i love it.plus i can shoot it very accurately.
I'll take an apex triggered Shield or stock Taurus G2C over all of these. Spend a couple of hundred bucks and have ballistic blue nylon pockets sewn onto the back of all your jeans in place of your stock pockets and do a right back pocket super comfortable carry of those 2 pistols that beats all of those uncomfortable kydex holsters and you are set to go!
I definitely think the walther pk380 deserves a spot
Remembering concealsbility, I carry the Ruger 380ACP in my pocket, with a spare magazine. The mags have the optional finger bottom mounted which gives big handed guys a better grip. And being a close-in gun, for maximum damage I load it with R.I.P ammo. Two in the throat area will be most sufficient.
I have the lcp2 with red dot and carry it more than anything else. like you said it practically disappears in the pocket.Sweat pants, shorts, whatever. It is great- I have 3 of these guns on his list but prefer the Ruger to carry. Ordered a SIG 365 last week so we will see--
I usually go back and forth (about 10 yrs now) between the LCP with a crimson laser and 9 shield. Both are excellent for concealment.
My top 5 would be:
1. Walther PPS M2
2. Sig 365
3. VP9 SK
4. Shield 2.0
5. Walther PPQ SC
Prefer Vedder holsters.
G43 is great but No Match to 365 Sig has Claimed the new ultra carry Of the Year and then some
I carry the G26 Gen4
Do you work for Glock ? Or Sig ?
When you referred to point and shoot as stupid, well, that was stupid. In real life situations it is mostly point and shoot and people should practice point and shoot as much as aiming.
My most concealable is my m&p 9mm shield and my bersa thunder 380..
I like my lil Berreta Nano 6plus 1 fits in my pocket
Love my Nano too. Remarkably accurate and follow up shots are easy.
When are we gonna get some double/single action ultra-compacts? The SIG P365xl but with a hammer would be perfect.
Strikers are sleek and futuristic, but why the hell are ultra-compacts only made striker-fired? Don't you all miss the juicy yum yum of a single action trigger pull?
No better all around pistol than the p365....rounds, small, good sights and trigger..
My wife carries her CZ-75D, on which I've mounted adjustable IPA fiber optic sights onto with a Crimson Trace laser grip and 15 round Mec-Gar low friction coated magazines.
I put adjustable fiber optic sights from IPA, which don't snag, on my P290RS in addition to the complete Galloway Precision trigger kit and it's now the best pocket gun I've ever carried. (I live in Florida, so it fits my cargo shorts...lol)
But, whenever I'm in a suit or otherwise require a smaller piece, my TCP with Galloway Precision spring set is a nice option too.
I wish we had open carry in Florida so I could carry my high polish stainless CZ-75B with IPA fiber optic sights and Crimson Trace laser grips.
Hopefully our elected officials will actually represent us one day instead of appeasing the hysterical looney of the week by granting us this right since most other states already do.
One can always dream, right?
I'll keep my Kel-Tec P3AT .380 with the 9 round shaped extended mags - small as the LCP, better ergo (with those mags, anyway) and they just run and run. Not pleasant to shoot with the standard mag, but put the extendeds in, and it's a game changer (and still very concealable)
Cheap ass
I carry a glock 29 iwb, it is a little wider but I'm 6'3 232 pounds so it conceals well and fits my hands great
For up-close and personal, I prefer a snubby with a six or even a seven shot cylinder. They are more reliable, and when chambered for .357/.38+P, you won't need more than six rounds to handle most situations. Lets face it, 10 or more round magazines is just Hollywood crap. More than likely you will never have to use your firearm in the first place. And if you do, its usually up close, not in a shootout across the street. I guess I'm just old school, but a revolver is my preference for conceal carry.
I prefer my Smith and Wesson Performance Center Shields. Now the the new Performance Center. 380 is out on the market it will be a major player in this market. Personally, since the EPA has banned the chemicals used in the popular Glock models, many will never be Made in the USA. Therefore I will avoid all Glocks and Springfield pistols made in Austria. Croatia, etc. Thanks for your video.
Taurus spectrum
Doesn't print at all
I wear inthe underwear band with an extra mag doesn't print at all
The 6 round, 7 extended mag, 380 Beretta Pico should definitely be on your list! It’s tiny and light weight ta boot!
never liked those pocket guns for ccw prefer a czp10 or glock 19 or 17. I guess I could use them in life or death or as a backup on an ankle holster
Yeah they have there place.
I love my shield 45 , it's the perfect size and weight as far as I'm concerned, not sure why a shield is not on your list it may be more popular than any you showed , I also have the Sig p365 , love it lol and I also have the lcp 2 awesome little gun lol , not much of a glock fan though.
Don't forget there's now the Beretta apx carry. I carry the apx centurion 9mm and love it. Yes a little bit bigger but it fits for me.
I actually just picked up one of the Beretta APX Carry models, and absolutely love it. I also have a Sig P365 which pretty much hits the sweet spot of # of rounds, concealability, and ease of shooting. But while the Beretta carries less at 7 or 8 rounds depending on magazine, and is a bit bigger -- it is standing toe to toe with the P365, AND it is waaaay easier to shoot. Just feels good in the hand, and shoots so smoothly -- I definitely wasn't expecting that from a gun this size. Another option for folks to consider.
lcp custom is really worth a look . Better trigger and sights .
You are missing the P320 Subcompact in your list.
I have a p32 that's so ultra concealable I don't even know where it is.
Phuc loc it's all about the Sig Sauer p365 XL
Honestly I like the Taurus Spectrum over the LCP/LCP2.
True double action, good trigger, better 7 Rnd magazine baseplate design (takes a page from some of the old snubnose revolver concealed carry grips), and the rubber coating on all the parts where recoil and vibration affect your hand. Its a great design. It's not just pretty colors.
My list would be Taurus Spectrum, Ruger .38 LCR w/ laser grips, glock 42/43, Sig P365, and Taurus G2C.
Taurus G2C
Awesome vid, thanks. Huge fan of the little guns.
Can’t believe the S&W bodyguard didn’t make the list. I much prefer it to the Ruger.
I wonder how many people with pocket pistols actually practice drawing and shooting...?
My Sig P365 with the 12rd magazine .
Nice!
Springfield hellcat
