And I'd bet that's a diet coke!

I have the Sig 226 XCarry Legion and it is very nice. A great update to the P226. Accurate to a fault as per all 226s. I carry it in a Legacy Firearms Cronus IWB with the Sig Loc Pro optic. It’s very easy to conceal with an 18 rd capacity.

I think when most best carry lists are made they tend to look at Echelon priced guns, not $1400 niche market guns.

They did list the CZ Shadow which is bigger than the XCarry. BTW, thanks for the holster tip. Looking for another one for a better fit.

there is no debating..
'
the 'best ccw" is the one you like, not what some article says.

I’m thinking the one you actually have with you. That .22 NAA in your pocket trumps a full custom $4000 1911in the safe at home every time.

I really don't think anything can top the Bodyguard 2.0 when it comes to EDC. It's the size and weight of a modern cellphone and we all know none of us would consider leaving the house without our precious cellphones. And I really don't think 12+1 .380acp is anything to sneeze at and would make even your most dedicated two legged threats change their mind at the very least if it doesn't stop them cold. Plus the magazines are tiny, you can easily carry 1-2 reloads along with the gun. It's extremely versatile and allows me to feel armed without feeling weighed down at all.
