Looking to buy pistol for concealed carrry in pharmacy atfter an armed robbery with 2 guys who had 3 guns, one a 357 that discharged twice but no one was hurt thankly. Looking at a sig or mustang in 380 or sw bodyguard or glock 28 or 26. Really like pocket size of the 380 do not intend to pursue him outside the building and gun must be concealed. Guess my colt 25 is a little small unless I can shoot the bastard in the back. Got 2 permits and want to get a ccp.

Sig 938 would be my choice, I am currently lusting after one and if I dig up enough trading stock I WILL have one.

Throw a look on the S&W Shield or maybe the Springfield Armory XDs.

Personally, I would view working in a pharmacy as a reasonably high-risk environment and I would certainly carry two guns.

In addition to a pocket gun (.32/.380) that I could deploy inconspicuously, I�d carry a service pistol (9mm minimum) on the waist.

What you choose matters little so long as it reliably goes bang with every pull of the trigger and you have the skill to put that to use.

It all boils down to personal preference, Out of your choices I would choose the Glock 26... I carry a 27 everyday in a IWB with no problems at all.

Fortunately I can still discuss concealed carry from a theoretical standpoint; you didn't say whether you were there or not at the time of the robbery, but if I had been, my perspective on carrying would be forever changed.

Although carrying two big guns with high capacity magazines might be my initial gut reaction, in the real world I think it would quickly become more trouble than what it's worth (unless armed robberies are a regular occurance), but I'd certainly carry at least a 9mm that I was intimately familiar with.
