Glock or Smith?

Hijacking the Saab thread yet again

Forget all these little girl pistols and carry a PDP Compact or a VP9K
 
Having struggled with Concealing vs Comfort vs Competence, I’m going to go out on a limb and say:
- Body size / Hand size matters +50%
- Holster matters +30%
- Gun matters -20%

Most any gun will do the job for CCW, IF matched with the right holster for a body size.
 
I own and competed w both… in the end, I’ll choose Smith and Wesson.
