Your personal protection journey is your own personal journey and no one can make you do anything. There is no one-size-fits-all solution for personal protection. Therefore, you must find ways to make concealed carry fit into your lifestyle.

GLOCK Pistols 

The most popular GLOCK models for concealed carry among men and women are: the GLOCK 19, GLOCK 43, GLOCK 43X and GLOCK 26. When you’re selecting a firearm for concealed carry you should be able to handle the firearm comfortably.
