My personal carry weapon is the Sig P220 .45

I can handle a .45, like the feel and stopping power of the .45. I'm a fan of the Sig pistols

I prefer the Glock 23 which holds thirteen 40 caliber rounds and is small enough to conceal.

Depends on the time of year. Winter with bulky clothes and coats it is easy to conceal a 9mm or 45acp. In summer I would prefer a pocket holstered Ruger LCP with CrimsonTrace laser.

Walther PK380 new is $400.00 ..good rating ... he has extra clips and 5-6 box of ammo .. Then I would think about buying it (not a fan of Walther Weapons)

Walther PPK/S new is $550.00 .. lower rating again extra clips and ammo... Then I would think about buying it (not a fan of Walther Weapons)

$200.00 Straight out no way.... extra clip and ammon ...you make the call if that what you want..

Question:
Is it pretty easy for servicemembers to get a CCW? Someone said it was much easier than a normal citizen.

wel, they just don't have to do the training, but I believe you have to provide your military training cert

No truth to that... You take a test and classes/ three day classes and qualify with a certified trainer. Get a signed certification of the completion of the training. Take it to the Sherriff Department, pay the fee and then in a few weeks pick up the card.

My buddy was in the Airforce and still took the classes.

He has been discharged longer than 6 years. That's probably why.

Thats interesting since not everyone in the military qualifies with handguns.

I'm looking to buy a Glock 23 soon.

I think it depends on if you are certified with a handgun or not. When I was in the service, I was not qualified with handgun, therefore I had to take classes to get CCW.

The class is easy and only 12 hours is needed. I did it all in one day, then went to the Sheriff's office with my certificate and then in a week or 2 picked up my card.
