Do you have the gray guns trigger kit? Put one in mine and it’s a game changer. Crisp 3.5lb striker trigger with a short rest is the tits.

Mine

You can have just a portion of the gun visible. It doesn’t have to be “fully visible”. That would mean that you couldn’t even holster it since a holster conceals part of the gun.

There is no reason to risk your own life by carrying a gun in such a way as to make you a target for the bad guy.

This is wrong. A "Concealed Handgun" is defined as any handgun which is carried on a person in such a manner as to hide or obscure the handgun from plain view.

"Plain view" is a tested legal doctrine.

"Fully visible" is not a legal term.

That's not luck, that's proper grip.

But the EZ has a specific market. They aimed it at women, typically unfamiliar with firearms, who wanted something easier to rack. That's precisely the group that's going to struggle with a proper grip and the strength to hold it firmly.

recently bought a Canik MC9, put a few hundred rounds through it and have really enjoyed it.

I love Caniks. Too bad my SC Elite is too bulky for carrying. Just a tad too big.

I have a Hellcat now, got it a month ago, and my accuracy sucks. Every shot goes to the left. My friends who’ve shot it have the exact same problem. Is this a common experience with Hellcats (and similarly sized pistols) or is it just me (and my friends)? In other words do I just need more practice or might the sights be out of whack?

Open carry basically means fully visible. If you conceal the gun at all, it's concealed.


I hate that you have put me in a position where I am forced to agree with the idiot arguing with you...

CANIK TP9 Elite SC


Won one in a raffle last summer and have actually never shot it. Really nice looking pistol and feels good in my hand. Really need to take it out.

No. Plain view means the handgun is carried in such a position as to be easily discernible by the ordinary observation of a passerby.

In Mississippi, the open/constitutional carry law says that it has to be at least partially visible outside of clothing. Of course, we also have "purse carry," which allows for carry in a purse, bag, stachel (lol), or brief case without a permit.

You can open carry with a holster in Mississippi.

If someone cannot shoot the P365 XL well, it ain’t the guns fault. Just sayin. LOL

This. I ended up going with the X over the XL. Also put a Wilson Combat grip module on it.

For some reason I can get back on target quicker with the X than I can with the XL.

- I don’t have a Hellcat but you should be able to drift the sights to the left a touch if it wasn’t zeroed accurately.
- You need to shoot it from a rest or have someone with some skill shoot it to make sure it’s not zeroed properly.
- At self defense ranges accuracy is going to suffer much, much more from adrenaline and lack of training than a gun that’s not perfectly zeroed.

The armory craft trigger spring kit is a must have IMO. Put in my X macro. Reset is much better and now has a crisp 3.5lb trigger pull. Only $20

I changed out to a mcarbo flat trigger as well.
