Taurus g2c if you want a solid one on the cheap. They're around 220 right now.

where do you make your purchase?


I usually order online....several from Palmetto State Armory. Ship to a local ffl dealer (pawn shop in my case). Since you have several you are looking at - it would probably be better to go handle them all at a local gun shop and purchase it there. Don’t hesitate to ask if they can come down if the price seems high....they have a little room to bargain.

Thinner (width) firearms are more comfortable to carry in my experience.

I carry a Shield 95% of the time iwb, a Ruger LCP in the pocket the rest.

You have a solid list and any one of those would be fine....but I’d recommend the springfield hellcat just so we’d have a guinea pig on this board to give us feedback.

How do you keep up with the amount of time you carry those guns? I try to carry my DE50 72% of the time and my .44 magnum 28% of the time. But, some times I forget and and it takes me time to figure out which gun I should carry on a given day. Do you have an app that you use or do you notch the grips? or what? or, are you just full of sheit and trying to feed us a line? How old are you? about 8?

You just about called out everyone on this board that live in their parents garage watching youtube; so they can brag about "building" their AR and "running" their Glock. I've always had a motor "run" well, and "built" something from nothing. These Yankees won't have none of that.

I keep a spreadsheet. Carried the sig all day yesterday so now it's 80.02 / 19.08. I strive really hard to hold that 80/20 so the shield doesnt get its feelings hurt too bad.

Oh no, I'm serious. I wouldn't want to put inaccurate information on the internet. People make tactical decisions that could save or cost them their lives based on the gospel that I post.

Wow, did your mom not hug you enough as a child?

Since you know absolutely everything about pretty much everything, should the admins anoint you OB king?

Ruger LC9 although in the market for another CC because I made the wife keep the LC in her purse. I also have a Taurus G2 that's a sweet little rig.

Shield 9 M2.0 no thumb safety mostly, M&P9 compact 3.6” when colder and can conceal under a jacket. Remington RM380 executive in athletic shorts on occasion. Surprisingly good little double action all metal 380. For some reason I’m very accurate and comfortable shooting it though I typically don’t care for DA semi-autos.

So many good options these days, best to test a few at the firing range and find the best fit for you. Good luck.

They have railed versions now but only in Europe. You can buy a rail now though for $30 off Amazon. I never noticed it was missing until now.

Streamlight made this bad boy actually so no rail is okay.

Nah, I just know for a fact that I'm more knowledgeable in firearms than any poster on here. It's how I made a living and abled me to retire early. Chances are that you own at least one firearm where I did the consulting to bring it from design to production.

You may know more about firearms and all that but that fact of the matter is that you’re a complete a-hole about it.

ETA: you also make some pretty stupid comments as well.

Like you put dirty brass and media in a bowl and set it on a refrigerator.
What type of 50 year old fridge to you have?
