Best SA consealed carry gun.

vector91 · February 13, 2013, 09:52 AM

So I am looking to buy a nice sa concealed carry gun. Up until now i have carried a Ruger LCR. Really want something with more power than a 9mm maybe a .40 or .45 any suggestions would be appriciated.

There are lots of good choices out there. I really like my Springfield EMP in .40 S&W.

vector91 · February 13, 2013, 10:20 AM

I'm looking to spend up to about 600

vector91 · February 13, 2013, 10:21 AM

Also I have heard alot of bad things about the .40 have you had any problems wiht it.

ScottRiqui · February 13, 2013, 10:23 AM

I only have the one .40 pistol, so I'm no expert. The recoil is certainly "snappy", but I don't think it's excessive, considering the EMP has a short barrel (3 inches).

Ok thank you what is the price range on those do you know off hand

The EMP is quite a bit more than $600, unfortunately.

I may be confused, though. When you say you want a "nice sa concealed carry gun", do you mean "Semi Automatic" or "Single Action"? If you just mean that your're looking for a semiautomatic to replace your LCR, there are a TON of choices, at almost all price points.
