Ok baws, I'm looking for a pistol to keep in my car. Grew up with revolvers but doesn't have to be one. Looking for something reliable, easy to conceal, and would like to stay under say $500. A buddy was singing the praises of the Dagger from Palmetto State Armory. Thanks.

I can hear the board’s eyes roll f I dip into another thread and say something about a dagger.



But the Compact Dagger can be bought for under $300 on a special.

Its design is time tested as a g19 gen 3 clone.

But their manufacturing is not AS time tested. The trigger pin has an issue. But that’s hammered out by now.

However, it’s less of a concern if it’s stolen. Its $275.

I think the more important questions are:
1. What’s your access plan
2. What’s the plan to for retaining possession.

If you are going to keep your gun in your car at least get a console vault.

My dad has a Smith Model 15-3 stolen out of his Truck in 1984. He reported it stolen. About 6 years later it was used in a homicide. His buddy was the local detective working the case. After the trial he gave it back to my dad. I have it in my safe. It was in pretty good condition for being on the street for 6 years.

Sorry guys let me clarify, when I said for my car it won't stay in the car all the time. It would be in the house at night and on me but in the car when I'm somewhere I can't take it. For instance they aren't allowed in my office. Sorry for any confusion

With LA passing the constitutional carry law, I recently bought a Glock 43x to do what you’re talking about doing. I paid $525 plus tax at my local store. You could save a little money on gunbroker though. I’m just impatient.
I love the gun so far. It’s perfect for slipping in and out of my waistband when getting in and out of my truck, it conceals nicely even with a red dot and light on it, and shield arms makes 15rd mags for it if you want more capacity than the stock 10rds.
I’ll definitely be looking into the truck vaults though because I like to keep my 10mm 1911 in my truck too incase I run into a situation where I need a ~little~ more fire power

Canik SC Elite. It’s a wonderful pistol. Under $400, smooth smooth trigger, small enough to take with you but large enough to shoot comfortably.

I'm just here for the comments....

My truck, my life, my rules. If you want to leave a gun in your (locked) vehicle then do it. Anything that lends itself to you being armed when needed is a win. A thief does not get to dictate how I live my life and protect my family. If you can get a console vault, go for it. Don't let that stop you from being armed, however.

Just get a Taurus Revolver. Use the savings to upgrade to a lifted 4x4 F250 dually and be an OT baw/baller.
