Gents, I'm in a bit of a conundrum. I'll soon be coming up on the end of a military enlistment and my POG ass will be leaving California to head back to freedom(ish) land. Obviously I'll need a new pistol for concealed carry. I love my 1911 to death, but I'm not willing to swap out my wardrobe for the amount of hawaiian shirt it would take to conceal that on my skinny boyish frame.
Here is my thinking so far: If I'm going to be firing a small frame handgun, I'd prefer it to be 9x19. I know, I know, "muh stopping power", but I honestly don't see that much of a difference If I can reliably hit a target. I HATE, absolutely fucking hate the "always double action" bullshit that plagues handguns with internal hammers. I've fired my brother's Glock 43 and my little sisters XDS, and my accuracy suffers while using both. I switch to an external hammer like my 1911 or the M9, and I do fine. I've brought this up with real people, and the best they can tell me is get a Sig-Sauer P226. I've heard great things about the Sig, but it's honestly real expensive. I'm prepared to blow my tax return on it, but I'm still shopping around for a cheaper alternative.
TL;DR: Anon needs a concealable pistol that is:
>9x19mm
>Single stack magazine for small girly hands
>External hammer
>Budget is about 1k, but I'd really prefer to go cheaper so I can also get a scattergat for my trunk.
