I don’t carry the G3, Honest Outlaw tested the G3c and G2c and both went 1000 rounds without a single problem. I’m not on a tight budget I run what works for me. If I had a need to carry a full size gun it would be one of my M&P’s. But I don’t. I get rid of any gun that doesn’t work. Honest Outlaw has recommended both of the Taurus compacts multiple times. Carry what you are comfortable with, and fit your hand. Many of the guns recommend on this thread don’t fit my hand. In his most recent video, he did indeed suggest that in his experience it's 99% reliable. His individual gun may have been, mine’s been 100% reliable. I don’t believe anyone can say that about any manufacturer’s gun, unless and until it’s tested.

https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/19051253/1I was carrying a Glock 48 last couple years until Makay started this post.....I shoot it well but realized that the ONLY reason I chose it was because it was 1/8" narrower than a 19..... you could make the "shield arms 15 rd mag" argument but the fact is that they will NEVER be as reliable as a factory Glock mag and also can't accept anything else like a 17, 24, or 33 rd mag. I went back to a 19 3 months ago and have put about 1200 rounds through it and will never go back. My opinion on the pocket guns is that you just haven't found the right holster for your larger gun.... I just don't see the benefit of a pocket pistol anymore. pretty much how I see it.my Gen 5 19 is one of my most grabbed carry guns. though i am considering a p365 Macro

I'm starting to have trouble with my hands. The small 9mms are getting hard to work, currently have a springfield 911. I checked out a glock 43X with night sights the other day realy felt good in the hand. It's bigger, than the mircos. I'm thinking about buying it. Trading for it. Seems like alot of guys like the 43-43x, I'm not a big glock guy but carried a 23 for 9 years, for work never failed me!

M&P Shield Plus. Totally reliable, good trigger and sights, quite accurate, and a big enough grip with the 13 round mags. Outlaw's pick besides!

That XMacro or XL-size gun is a sweet spot.

Protects the trigger so gun doesn’t fire in pocket.

I have to try the XL, I shot the Macro yesterday, and I like the grip frame on the original P365 better, and I shoot it better. Plus you cannot put the macro in your pocket! I think my next step would be the xl for holster carry.

I love my Kahr CM9
Each time I would find something different I just went back to it
But than I got a P365 and same size twice the capacity

Sig 365. Had a lc9 I bought new. After second or 3rd round , magazine would fall out and hit my boot . Sent it back to Ruger and they fixed it , but couldn’t warm up to it after that .
Love the sig 365 !

When thinking "small" are you also thinking light weight? I have both a Sig P365 and a Kimber Micro 9! The Sih holds so many rounds, it's far heavier than the Kimber. Also -- the Kimber is noticeably thinner than the Sig, so I carry the Kimber in the summer and the Sig in the winter when I'm wearing heavier clothes!

What's the weight difference with the same number of rounds in each? That would be more relevant. BTW - the Micro 9 is also bigger in every dimension than the Kahr CM/PM9, and only .3 oz - three tenths of an ounce - lighter. Still no reliable 9mm pistol that I know of - and certainly none in any post above other than that which has been reported to have questionable reliability - is smaller than the CM/PM9.

Nobody complains about too much ammo in a gunfight.

Nobody complains about too much ammo in a gunfight. Absolutely true. But that wasn't the question now, was it? Nobody ever complained about having a longer sight radius or less recoil in a gunfight either, I'd bet.

It’s heavy enough you can throw that pos at the bad guys when it jams. LGS got two of them in when they first came out. Both jammed and were returned within the week. You’d be better off with a Taurus G3 C. Or a High Point. 😂

I don’t believe anyone can say that about any manufacturer’s gun, unless and until it’s tested. My little brother and nephew both live their Taurus G3c Both have been reliable. I’ll stick with my Sig P-365 or Springfield Hellcat. Both are 100 % reliable and very accurate too I prefer the Hellcat a little more nowadays as it fits my hand better and the magazines are easier to load than the Sig mags. If folks ARE on a tight budget, I’d recommend the G3c to them, if they ask. If I carry a “bigger” 9mm, it’s usually my Glock 19X.
