Since when are Sigs hard to break down? Unload, lock the slide to the rear, flip the lever, let the slide go forward and off, remove spring/guide rod, remove barrel. Simplest pistols I own to break down.

And while you’re on compact Glocks, don’t forget the Glock 29 in 10mm.

Hey, if it is mounted to the wheelchair, weight is less of an issue, right? I've always wanted an excuse to carry one of these.

The Glock 30 is a super sweet gun. I’ve shot yours and another one and went away with the same great impression. The 30 hits a sweet spot of small size and weight, accuracy, and firepower.

if you’re like me and don’t like glock because they’re butt ugly, you can always go with a nice beretta 96 in .40sw. They are trivial to break down, but concealability might be a problem.

There’s always the beretta 8040 and the 8045, but I don’t know how they are to break down.

What’s wrong with .357 Magnum?

Especially out of a 1 7/8″ barrel. As Kim du Toit so eloquently stated, if the bullet doesn’t get them, the muzzle flash will set their clothes on fire…

First of all, don�t bother with a .38. The army abandoned the caliber for a reason.

That was a different .38 than we have today.

The .38 that failed in the Spanish-American War was the old .38 Long Colt of the 19th century. It was replaced by the higher-velocity .38 S&W Special, which has been supplanted by the even higher-velocity .38 Special+P and the faster-still .357 Magnum.
