I would never do a crime, I'm a good boy who pays his taxes and doesn't even jaywalk... but I'd be lying if I wasn't considering how to get it out of the wheelchair and let it run free.
I've heard things like the go fast bits don't directly drop in... but its not hard to get them to drop in if you're mechanically inclined....

Probably not technically illegal to own the go fast bits and the crippled gun at the same time, but I of course would advise NOT to own those parts.
 
A 19 sized gun or even a full sized gun can be successfully carried appendix or strong side.

I don’t want to put effort into being proficient with a gun that’s objectively worse than a G19 or larger gun from a performance shooting standpoint. I can dedicate all my dry fire and range time to a gun I shoot well and enjoy shooting.
I mean that's up to you, I like my 38 in my pocket and not a brick in my pants lol. 38 in a snubby has enough confirmed kills under its belt that I'm confident in it.
I don't drink, or smoke, because I'm not cool like that. But that doesn't stop me from making bad wallet decisions at 2AM.

A good home defense/daily carry
Just need to mount that to the back of a truck. Holy shit bro that is fucking cool. Does the mag feed work now that it's only semi auto?

Also I think this week is the week. I'm buying the SD40 2.0

Got all my ammo in, got the accessories I want, case, 25 round stick mag, ammo box, I'm gtg to buy this thing. It'll be my first semi auto pistol I personally own. Ready to get that Resident Evil Sigma energy man, just updated to modern times.
 
I have been thinking about 10mm... but I don't want a glock (might reconsider) , P223, or 1911.
Are Tanfoglios any good? I have seen people talk about them in very good terms, but its typically only in reference to competition use.
Are there just no other options besides converting a USP to 10mm?

As a 10mm owner and Glock hater.
Get a Glock.
I sold my sig to go back to a g20. The tangfolios need work but are fine. 1911 to this day picky on eating hollow points etc.

There's a lot of options but honestly with my trigger and port job my Glock is good enough and as a carry the 5+ rounds more than the sig had was really a big deal.

USP cut to 10 is dope. One of my hi points is 10 but that's a meme more than practical.

Tangfolios are basically just Italian CZ-75s and typically built to a high standard. They are very popular in competition use because they're accurate, reliable, and have a fairly low bore axis. Competitive shooting is very hard on guns, so guns used in those sports need to be reliable and stand up to heavy use because having your pistol jam means taking time to clear it, which means a lower score.

Glocks are shitty get a tangfolio.
 
you would absolutely save substantial money on 300 win mag long term.
I'm not meaning to be overly pedantic but it depends on how much he shoots. If he's only running his rifle once in a while it's simply not worth the upfront costs. Also, reloading is not a time-friendly endeavor. Finally, he may not be enough of an autist to really enjoy reloading. He doesn't need to be all Primal Rights about it, but you get what I'm saying.
I will never understand the obsession with micro guns. I know 5 foot tall 100lb women who carry a Glock 19.
They do make carry and concealment a lot easier. I tried my level best to get into it with 2 Springfield XD-S pistols and a S&W Shield. In the end I opt for an M&P 2.0 Compact in 9mm when I want to carry light. This isn't to say snubbies or micro compacts don't work because they'll stop a fight just fine. I'm like you in that I appreciate a pistol that isn't so small it brings additional challenges to shooting it well.

S&W M&P in 10mm is decent. Getting Apex Tactical fire control parts in it makes quite good. The Sig 320 XTen is pretty good too but it's damn big. That too has excellent aftermarket options for upgrades.

They no longer import these but EAA used to bring in a lovely 10mm in their Witness Elite Match line. I'm no longer looking for one but I've heard those are solid (if you can find one these days). Might be worth looking into if you want a steel framed double stack 10mm.

I have owned a shield and before that a Berretta Nano. They are similar to all the other micro 9mm in size, which is to say not significantly smaller in a meaningful way to increase concealment or comfort, but are more difficult to shoot.

Until you get to true pocket sized guns, I don’t see any advantage offered by smaller guns. Even then you are mostly gaining convenience, while significantly losing capability.

From what I saw of the HKCC9 (and the Sig P365) is that while slimmer than a G26 or VP9SK, they're still about the same size in height and length. Thicc isn't all that hard to hide, and neither are as skinny as a true single stack gun.

The G20 and G40 are good, don't write them off too quickly.
10mm 1911s have come a pretty long way since the Delta Elite, even RIA is fairly good. I'm wary of Tisas but supposedly they aren't awful.
I will second the suggestion of the M&P, bonus if you get the Performance Center. Their finish is amazing even if the guns seem plain.

Have people found out how to ream the chamber yet, or are they still buying softer barrels for that? While I would trust the gun I wouldn't trust an aftermarket barrel.

What's wrong with an aftermarket barrel for a USP?

Part of the draw of the USP is that it doesn't blow up, introducing an unknown variable to that gun irks me in a way putting a KKM barrel in a Glock doesn't.
ETA: If I wanted to run hot ammo through a USP I'd just use .40 Super or just .45 Super, those are on par with 10mm at its best.
 
Seems that Q isn't a fan of .338 ARC.
I was hoping that it was a .223 case and bolt face, but I guess not and it's probably not a good move. Shame that there's no .338 Spectre, Whisper, or Thumper being made instead of some new shit that does the same thing in a dumber way. Ideally we'd get a subsonic oriented loading of .350 Legend with a 1-5 barrel chucking 300-400 grain slugs out like a better 9X39, but no, we get a retarded bolt face and bad mags.
I emailed Q about sub .350 legend and I guess they wanted sub AND super performance, but it'd really be nice if they'd stick with one or the other so you could just use a smaller gun and mags if you wanted subs.

If you go to handgun hero, you can compare just how trivial the size differences are.

For example:
G19 vs snubbie, and G19 vs P365

Well I got a gun I've been wanting for a while. I bought a CS 75. I'm probably going to go to my uncle's land tomorrow to shoot and align my sights. It's used so it should be broken in. It's completely blued steel, no polymer. It feels good to handle, I like the weight and how balanced it feels. It's a full sized barrel.
