Not that anyone necessarily needs an excuse to buy a gun enthusiast in their life a shiny (or matte) new firearm, but the holidays are looming. There is a terrific variety of first-rate, concealed-carry handgun options these days. However, they’re not all as interesting as they could be. This holiday season, what if you looked around for the most interesting concealed carry for your favorite fan of firearms? Remember that small, concealable pistols are by no means a recent innovation. Be sure to browse both new and used guns for sale to find some gems.
The Springfield Armory Hellcat Pro is larger than the original, but still quite compact. It comes optics ready, but also with tritium U-Dot sights, loaded chamber indicator and Melonite finish. It also comes with reversible magazine release, front and top slide serrations, and two magazines. The flush fit holds 15 rounds, while the extended magazine contains room for 17 rounds. Compliant models are also available.
This smaller version of the GX4 comes with pretty much all of the features of the original, just in a slightly larger package. This also made it where Taurus was able to add an accessory rail and increase magazine capacity. One of its best features, though, is its ergonomics. This pistols comes with three backstrap options, allowing shooters to customize the already excellent grip.
Anything with FN’s name on it, you know you can trust. That includes the FN Reflex semi-auto pistol. This internal-hammer, single-action-only pistol is small enough to conceal but comes with features shooters want and desire. This includes a tritium front sight, front and rear slide cuts and an easy to rack slide. It also comes with a reversible magazine release, an accessory rail and two magazines. The standard holds 11 rounds while the extended holds 15 rounds.
Just because you like a compact, easy to conceal pistol that has the punch for self-defense doesn’t mean you’re wanting to be like James Bond. It does help though if you do. The Walther PPK comes in both .380 ACP and .32 ACP. It features a double-action/single-action trigger along with a decocker lever that also serves as a safety. This classic pistol shoots as well as it looks, giving a good reason why it was chosen for 007.
Few pistols have the feel and history of the 1911. And Kimber makes some of the best, from full size down to compact. The Kimber Ultra CDP (Custom Defense Package) comes with all the desired features that shooters used to do aftermarket. Adding these features during production reduces overall cost. These features include 3-dot tritium sights, Rosewood grips, aluminum trigger, bobbed hammer, ambidextrous safety and the carry melt treatment. This last helps prevent this pistol from printing, while giving it a smooth look and feel. It is even available in two of the most popular self-defense chambering—.45 ACP and 9mm.
