Your carry guns?
Im enrolled in a CWP course and am looking at carry potions for when done. Thing is I have little trigger time on most. A few smith snubbies and a lcp. Anyone want to give impressions on whats worked for them?
Snubs are decent but i want an auto im married to thumbs forward now and dont want burnt thumbs. The LCP is a good carry siize but i get a finger and a half on the thing and it has no sights. Wondering what else to look for? |
I bought a Kahr CM9 a few weeks back. The trigger is a 100 times better than the LC9 I had. Still need more practice with it, but I feel like I'll end up being more proficient with it compared to the LC9. I've carried my Les Baer Stinger in a Milt Sparks VM-2 sometimes. It's bit on the heavy side. But a good belt definitely helps.
I shoot thumbs forward with my semi-autos. Crossed thumbs with revolvers. |
Buddys getting a cw40 i can try out the kahr trigger. The 40 will be hard hitting but id get a 9 if i got a kahr. The connection to the moonies bothers me but good guns are good guns.
I handled the lc9 felt great in hand and had decent sights but the trigger was awful and i hate mag disconnects. |

How reliable is it, how well does it handle, and how well does it conceal? |
My brother is going to get a Glock when he turns 21.
I have an XDM 3.8 Compact in 9mm as my profile shows. |

Ive heard you need to use slide stop on kahr as racking may cause jams, any thruth to this?

For me, it depends on the gun I am using. My 1911 has a pretty standard slide release, so I would have a problem getting to it. So for that gun, I use power stroke like when I first load up an empty gun to reinforce repetition. For my XDM, the slide release is big and positioned closer to your thumb and you can easily press it down.
|
I like power stroke for consistency. Stovepipe/fail to fire/fail to eject you rack for all. So reload i rack. Same motion for multiple occurences. Also guns with a tiny slide stop like sig and glock under stress would be very difficult to actuate. And racking works with any gun out there, no need to change muscle memory to different locations.

I watched a lot of Magpul vids after I had some proper training, so I had all those techniques in my head

I carry a Springfield ultra compact v10 45acp in a right-hand-draw leather blackhawk inside the pants holster and a Micro desert eagle .380acp in a left-hand-draw leather inside the pants made by Don Hume, both in which are very comfortable with easy excess and they are both molded for their guns. Then sometimes i carry a glock 19 in a Galco summer comfort holster in which i also really really love and that one is a right-hand-draw.
|
Glock 21 in a Tagua IWB right hand holster. Carry it right behind my hip bone so my "love handles" help to cover it.
An XL t-shirt or untuck button down covers it just fine. For more casual wear, I just got a 642 froma buddy that I'm experimenting with for pocket carry. |
So who carries spare mags? I usually have 2 spare 19 round mags for my compact at my side.
|
I carry a spare mag for my primary right hand draw like a 7rd for my Compact 1911 and a 15rd for the glock 19, but no extra mags for the left hand Micro eagle...mostly because its not a reload kind of gun and would only really be practical for two shot use my left

Nah. I figure if 14 rounds of .45 ACP doesn't stop the fight, plus a possible 5 rounds of .38 SPL, I should have just stayed home.
