The carry weapon debate

[whatboat]

The Kel Tec PF-9 was a little thin for me to grip. So I got the P-11.
Still only 1" wide. Larger mag, but if I need that many rounds !! Zombis

Very happy with it. Also great forum group.

The Springfield Sub-Compact XD .40 is also a really nice CCW. I have one of these also and can't find anything wrong with it or my full sixe XD(M) .40. I have a couple of Kahr's, a CW .45 and a PM .40 and they conceal better but I just don't like them as well as the Sig or the XD's, but when you need to ankle carry, the PM.40 is nice. Dave

Interesting post. I am 6'6" and also have large hands. 36 inch waist. I don't want to gain either. Grip is an issue.

Glock has a model 36 single stack that is 1/10th of an inch narrower than my 30, right at an inch thick, but only 6 rounds. My outlook is you can never have enough ammo. With the mag extension it fits my hand well. I carry right up front with no sign of the weapon showing. A 12 pack could change all that. Another reason to keep trim.

I really like my S & W airweight 38 special with covered hammer and laser sight. My Ruger 380 recoils worse than my Glock 45.

I have an old aluminum airweight that I carry occasionally. I can't use +p ammo in it so it's not my go to gun. Iwas schooled on the 45 at a young age and don't like to carry any caliber smaller except as a back up.

I still prefer my old Officer's Model 45acp but I recently bought my wife a Ruger LCP 38 The sights were a tad small for our old eyes so we put a slick little laser on it. So far we are both very happy with it. We have a couple of hundred rounds through and no feed or ejection problems. I may have to pick one up for me. <g>
