Are 9mm and .380 single stack guns still viable for carry in a world of double stacks? I say yes.
This video argues that single-stack 9mm and .380 ACP firearms remain viable options for concealed carry, despite the prevalence of double-stack alternatives. The presenter highlights the enduring advantages of single-stack pistols, including their affordability, availability, reliability, and compact size. Specific models mentioned as still relevant for carry include the Smith & Wesson Shield 9mm Gen 1, Ruger LC9S, Smith & Wesson Bodyguard .380, and Sig Sauer P238. The core message is that new firearm designs do not necessarily render older, established models obsolete.
