If a guy was going to get serious about concealed carry, what gun, cartridge, holster?

Glock 17, 19, or 43 (all 9mm), depending on your comfort level in relation to size/weight/width of sidearm (Personally, I carry the Glock 17 99% of the time, and opt for the Glock 43 only when concealment is either more challenging or where non-printing is more crucial). My recommendation in holsters/belts is El Paso Saddlery C-Force IWB and Galco SB2 belt (belt is as crucial as holster), regardless of which of the above three handguns you choose.

I've been routinely conceal carrying and shooting handguns since 1980.
