Many gun owners in the U.S cite self-defense or concealed carry as their primary reason for owning a pistol in recent years the demand for concealed carry pistols has increased quite significantly and manufacturers have been racing to put out the best concealed carry handguns they can however not every gun is suited for.

Concealed carry some pistols may just be too big While others may not have enough Firepower to be effective a good concealed carry pistol needs to be lightweight have a small silhouette that does not print through your shirt and have decent Firepower it also needs to be reliable and easy to shoot under pressure.

Well there are several Pistols that fit this description and you can find loads of videos listing the best concealed carry handguns on the market however no one tells you about the guns you should avoid when it comes to self-defense and the protection of your loved ones you need a concealed carry pistol that will have.

Your back and here is a list of the top five worst carry handguns that you shouldn't rely on the life card I like the life card as an oddity it's a well-made durable and reliable pistol however it's still a single shot 22LR that the company advised that you may not carry with a round in the chamber.

That makes it a poor self-defense firearm 22LR is an anemic personal defense choice but the real issue is the Rimfire primer failing to ignite because Rimfire just does that the life card is somewhat slow to reload and has a trench sight and still requires two hands to operate if I was James Bond sneaking through security I.

Might consider it but I'm just John going to Taco Bell Magnum Research Desert Eagle 50ae it's not uncommon for concealed carry firearms to have a seven round magazine capacity it is uncommon for concealed carry guns with a seven round magazine capacity to weigh 72 ounces empty popularized by the 1997 movie The Matrix.

The handgun of agent Smith is just too big and heavy to be carried concealed by the average person unless you go around wearing a pea coat at all times and even then you're going to look a little lopsided the solution of course is to carry two though at that point suspenders might be mandatory even with the toughest of gun.

Belts the sad part is that all of that weight and a good bit of engineering makes the Desert Eagle a much more easy to handle firearm than most would think it's also extremely accurate Raven mp25 The Raven mp25 is a direct blowback semi-automatic pistol chambered in 25.

ACP it is made from Palm metal and what appears to be the cheapest chrome finish ever applied semi-automatic is a technical term here just don't rely on it regularly loading the next round in fact everything about this pistol is technical technically it has sights.

Technically it has a safety technically it has a finish technically it's not the worst self-defense gun but it's definitely up there the gun seems to jam every other round or so the 25 ACP round is anemic but guns like the Beretta tip provide you an ultra small option with minimal recoil.

And Centerfire reliability in The Raven you get an overly chunky and heavy pistol thicker and seemingly larger than the Ruger LCP the sights are really bad the safety is far from that and the gun isn't drop safe so be careful Smith and Wesson x-frame.

Yes the 460 snw redefines what a powerful handgun cartridge is yes 500 snw is impressively gigantic yes both are not impossible to control with the soft grips extra large frame an integral porting of the average x-frame revolver but regardless of length they're just too big for concealed carry even the short barrel x-frame is just.

Too bulky and that's putting aside for a moment the fact that these cartridges really come alive with barrels longer than eight inches snub nose two and three quarter inch versions offer a little more muzzle velocity than your average 45 Colt revolver with a four or five inch barrel while cranking up The Recoil and muzzle.

Blast to nearly unsustainable levels I don't think they make the two and three quarter anymore and there's a reason for that it's not because it was a highly effective carry piece FN FNX 45 tactical if there's a better handgun than the fnx45 Tactical for pulling out of the box removing the thread protector.

Installing the 45 caliber silencer of your choice and going to work we don't know what it is but the fnx45 is certainly not a jack of all trades it's a master of Silent Target elimination its 15 round magazine capacity and extended base plates mean you can shoot longer and reload faster but these features are not going to be.

Hidden very easily under a t-shirt put a red dot on it attach a silencer in a weapon light even better a Surefire or Steiner with an infrared laser to go with your white foes nvgs and you have the best home defense handgun on the planet just don't expect to hide it at the grocery store or feel comfortable with.

It digging into your waist on a long road trip unless that road trip is to the grocery store derringers derringers possess a certain kind of cool that can't be replicated by modern pistols these small double barrel pistols can be chambered in anything from 22LR to 45 Colt some derringers like the Bond Arms.

Derringers are brilliantly crafted guns however they are among the worst guns for concealed carry you get two shots a single action only trigger teeny tiny grips and super short barrels the combination of these three features gives you a lot of recoil a slow follow-up shot and a very slow reload time.

Derringers might be cool but they are not a good choice for concealed carry Glock 40. like the fnx45 Tactical the Glock 40 MOS is a purpose-built firearm that excels at a few certain tasks these tasks include ringing steel plates with authority at 200 yards and Beyond bringing home dinner for the entire.

Family for a week or more and making Delta Elite owners feel inadequate when you show them your 15 round magazines unfortunately these tasks do not include hiding the pistol on your body sure you could do it with the proper attire but you could do it a lot better with other Firearms like the Glock 29 for example if 10 millimeters your thing.

Everyone regardless of gender should own a 10 millimeter at some point just like everyone should learn how to drive a stick shift how to splint a dislocated shoulder and how to build a fire but knowing how to do these things is not the same as doing them every day if your average day makes Ron Swanson look like Richard Simmons maybe.
