howdy all. new member here, but not new to gun ownership. i had a New Jersey CCW permit for 25 years and carried my S&W 45-06. i did a lot of military work and had to be armed in ordinance areas i worked in. also with my federal security clearance they wanted me armed in secure areas of newark and atlantic city airports. unfortunately when i stopped working in secure areas, they did not want to renew my CCW. now with the relaxed CCW laws in NJ, i in getting my permit back. but i want to carry something smaller than the 45-06. the kids bought me a Henry Homestader and a glock 19 gen 5 for my birthday a few months ago, but i dont like the fact it it does not have a manual safety. so i am looking at a M18. I have a large collection of assorted shotguns, rifles,(including 5 Henrys) and 6 S&W handguns too.
Welcome aboard- for CCW, that Glock 19 should do fine; Probably one of the finest combined size vs capacity. The best safety is between the ears.

Welcome! You came to a great place. I'd take a look at the p365xl with a manual safety although I wouldn't hesitate to carry a g19. It's one of the top ccw pistols for a reason. If you like da/sa, consider a cz pcr.
Welcome. I changed my attitude about external safeties during a training session. Drew in mock urgency and nothing happened. I had forgotten to select to fire. Had I been in real peril and time were critical, I would have been porked. I went to a firearm with a trigger safety and then to an HK law enforcement mod gun. Been there ever since.

Welcome! I've been here a couple of years now, and have to say just a great forum. Like you I prefer a manual safety, bought the Sig p 365X with manual safety. Very nice for ccw.

. Lot of DA/SA fans here as well, I think.
