Concealed Online Reviews - TOP 8 GO-TO GUNS FOR CONCEALED CARRY

Whether you’re new to the concealed carry community or a long-time member, check out this list of our top 10 go-to handguns!

It can be a challenge selecting the best concealed carry gun. The team at concealedonline.com compare and contrast 10 compact guns, grading them on portability, stopping power, weight, handling and cost.

#1 – Taurus PT111



Perhaps our favorite, the Taurus PT111 is a perfect conceal carry weapon. The compact design and 13-round capacity make it a great IWB gun with features like manual safety, slide stop and tear-down bar.

But the best thing is the double-action/single-action mode — a potentially life-saving feature. When the slide resets the internal striker in preparation to fire the next round, the trigger is in single-action mode. If the round fails to fire, it automatically switches to double-action, allowing you to strike the same primer again. Pretty amazing stuff!

#2 – Glock 26 Gen 3 (9MM)



If there was ever a handgun meant for carry, this is it! The Glock 26 boasts a small frame and short barrel that make it easy to conceal – plus it packs the punch of a 9mm!

But even with the small frame size, it has the same width of a full size Glock for improved grip and confident control. Plus, like a Glock, it has the same proven and reliability.
