Stephen, why don't you give us an intro? What country do you happen to live in? How much does weapons-universe pay you for one forum post?

My quest for a CC pistol.

Post by zeke4351 » Sun Jan 20, 2013 2:12 pm

I bought a new G27 and tried carrying it and I could have hid a brick easier I think. Wound up with a P3AT and have carried it in a wallet holster for years. Went to the gun shop after not going for about 4 yrs and got the fever again. I traded the same as new G27 for a new Sig P250 compact in 9mm. I then ordered a sub compact 40 S&W x change kit for the new P250. Still I wasn't happy until I bought a new P238 which hasn't got here yet. I have a P229 with 357 and 40 barrels and I really like it. Just one trip and I lost my mind again after being gun dormant for a few years. Now I have the P938 on the brain and will most likely have one soon.

On a serious note, I got to shoot a Ruger LCR and it is a beautiful gun. A bit abusive with the +P's but real nice.

ETA: I still don't like 380, even reloading it, I still don't like shooting it.
Update: since November still carrying the LCP. It goes with any outfit/ pants and after shooting with it for 6 months ive gotten used to it. While I cannot carry at work, it makes a great carry piece at all other times. Cartridge is small but still no one has stepped up to be pegged with one.

LCP is a pocket cannon -- why I have one on right now--maybe not a full size cannon but close ;)

LCP is perfect for wearing while golfing

Only problem I ever had with mine is it won't shoot the Hornady critical defense--jams up every 2 or3 rounds--went to Remington and no issues

IMHO, you should never have to "modify" any firearm that you trust to protect your life with. If it doesnt fire the ammo I put in it, its gone.
I only carry something that I know for sure will feed and shoot reliably when I need it to.
The fluff and buff worked on a couple pistols I owned, but I never felt that these guns should be what I trust my life to.

Mine shoots it just fine but it probably has a lot of rounds through it. Is a 2008 model. ( Has been sent back and retrofit after the reecall ).

I am really liking the Kahr CM9 it is light, fits right in my pocket no issues. the trigger is long but smooth and has a nice stopping point just before it goes bang so target shooting it shoots just like any other gun.

Have you looked into a Boberg XR-9? I know they were working out some QC and supplier issues around this time last year, not sure how reliable they've been since then.
Eagerly awaiting the XDS release...
