“The Ruger EC9s 9mm pistol is great as a beginner carry gun. It has lots of safety mechanisms and upgrade options. Best part is it’s very affordable with street price around $280.” – Sean Curtis

“The rest of the industry has had a couple of years to catch up but the P365 is still an impressive micro 9mm that is super popular as a CCW option.”

“With a competitive price, a comfortable yet diminutive frame, and stellar accuracy, the Springfield Hellcat is a winner. It provides stiff competition for the Sig Sauer P365, as well as the other micro compacts on the market. It’s a solid concealed carry pistol with varying capacities, optional accessories, and an actual Picatinny rail.” – Travis Pike

“The Sig P365 SAS retains the high-capacity, great trigger, and reliability of the regular P365 but by going snag-free it loses standard sights, a useful slide lock, and tool-less disassembly.”

“If you need a top tier CCW, the FN 503 needs to be in the consideration. With an outstanding trigger, great ergonomics, and coming in at a very reasonable price point — this is a gun that simply delivers.” – David Full Review

“Overall a reliable and dependable CCW gun for a reasonable price (under $300). It’s certainly a step up from the G2C and usually only costs a few bucks more. Well worth the update!” – Johnny B.

The Sig P365XL has quickly established itself as one of the most popular concealed carry pistols on the market today. Excellent ergonomics, great capacity for the size, factory night sights, and an optics-ready slide make this a feature-rich gun at an affordable price point.

Outfitted with Sig Sauer trigger, frame, magazines, the ZEV Technologies Octane P365 could be considered an improved version of the P365.  ZEV offers a serrated light aftermarket slide, and ZEV tech barrel. Great for a carry gun.

ZEV Technologies Z320 XCompact is a similar size to the Glock 19. Overall, it’s a nice gun with a clean trigger and beautiful size.  ZEV’s mods make a SIG P320 really fun to shoot.
