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.

Hi, there. Welcome!

You’re gonna like it here. Welcome.

Welcome!

I just purchased some more Ammo Armor magazine sleeves.

I am not positive but I think he is in New Jersey.
Welcome

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.

Hello and welcome to the forum!

Well said. SIGforum is an awesome resource!

Welcome and enjoy !!! God Bless

Welcome. I really need to shoot my Golden Boy octagon 22lr some day . Lot of DA/SA fans here as well, I think.

Welcome!

HK makes some nice firearms with manual safeties. I have a few but the one I carry the most of those is the HK P30 SKS.

Then, I'd say, the HK USPc V1 is one excellent candidate. DA/SA hammer fired with manual safety, compact, lightweight, plenty of firepower.

Btw, welcome to SF!

Welcome, there’s a lot of knowledge here, enjoy.

Welcome, enjoy the best forum around!!

Welcome from southern Indiana. I've got a Sig p365 with a manual safety that is a fine carry piece.

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.

thanks for the welcome guys. and also thanks for the ideas.

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.
