Tip #32 of 52 From Gun For Hire: The Five Most Popular Carry Guns

When it comes to concealed carry, the right firearm can make all the difference. The ideal carry gun should be reliable, easy to handle, and well-suited to your personal needs. As with any major purchase, choosing the right carry gun involves finding the balance between comfort, practicality, and effectiveness. There are many options available, but certain models have consistently stood out as top choices for concealed carry. Let’s explore the five most popular carry guns on the market and explain why Gun For Hire’s Gun Shop should be your go-to destination for your next firearm.

  1. Glock 19: The Glock 19 has earned its place as one of the most popular concealed-carry guns in the world. Glock pistols are also known for their legendary reliability. They’re designed to function in nearly any condition, whether it’s wet, dirty, or hot. The Glock 19 also features a simple, consistent trigger pull that ensures accuracy and confidence in every shot. STORE SPECIAL: Purchase a Glock 19, 43X or 47 and receive three hours of port time absolutely free! That’s a $75 value!
  2. Smith & Wesson M&P Shield 9: For those looking for something a bit smaller than the Glock 19, the Smith & Wesson M&P Shield 9mm is a popular choice. With its slim profile and lightweight design, the Shield is incredibly easy to conceal, even in lighter clothing. Additionally, Smith & Wesson’s reputation for durability and customer service adds another level of confidence for users.
  3. Springfield Armory XD-S Mod.2: The Springfield XD-S Mod.2 is another compact concealed-carry option that has gained a dedicated following. The XD-S combines powerful performance with a slim profile that makes it easy to conceal. Its proven performance and reliability make it an ideal choice for those who want a reliable, small-frame handgun for personal protection.
  4. Ruger LCP II: If you’re in the market for something ultra-compact and easy to carry, the Ruger LCP II is a standout option. This pocket-sized pistol is chambered in.380 ACP, making it a low-recoil, easy-to-handle firearm. The LCP II’s ease of concealability and quick deployment make it a top choice for those seeking a firearm to carry in situations where larger pistols might be impractical.
  5. Sig Sauer P365: The Sig Sauer P365 has quickly become one of the most popular choices for concealed carry since its release. The pistol’s ergonomics are excellent, making it comfortable to shoot even for extended periods.
