Ive seen the glock extensions that just have a spot for an extra finger but dont do anything in the back. Does the xd extension fit the entire grip?

Yes it does. It's not just an extended grip. It's an extended magazine.

It's a personal choice. Ultimately a person will go with what they like.

I usually carry a S&W Model 49 Bodyguard. Especially in the summer when an ankle holster is the best way to go. It isn't an ideal carry method, but it's easy to conceal and at least I still have something.

In the winter when sweaters and coats are the norm I will go with either my GLOCK 26 or GLOCK 19 on my belt. Just depends on my mood. I always carry a reload as well.

I like a handgun that is compact and relatively light to carry. 9mm and 38 +P Special is good for me.

I dont expect to be stopping bank robebries, just muggers. So 380 would suit my needs, 9mm or 38 too.

I'd carry around a 9mm compact with me with a combat load and that should be more than enough. Even if I get ganged up on for some odd reason, me shooting my gun off would scare them off.

You should never fire warning shots. Warning shots are bullshit (hehe reference). Seriously, though, if it gets to the point where you feel your life or anyone's is truly threatened, you shoot your gun to physically neutralize the threat, not mentally neutralize it. Whenever you fire your gun, the bullet has to go somewhere, and firing it to warn someone WILL end up hurting someone or something else, and when you have to talk to the police and you tell them you fired random warning shots, you end up sounding like a paranoid gun nut (yes I said it) who shouldn't have a gun in the first place. A (key word) "defensive" firearm should be used to neutralize threats to the users or any civilian's life or safety that may be encountered, not scare these threats away. I know some guys who have gotten in trouble for just brandishing their guns (which is the next worst thing to shooting it willynilly). You can make up your mind beforehand and have a plan for action, or give a verbal warning, but the firearm is not a tool for warning.

umm aren't most muggings of CCW holders thwarted by just brandishing the weapon?

I remember GM45 saying he wants to use a para p-14 frame, colt slide to make a "cara" and add his compensator on the end. Full size 1911, 15 rounds of ammo in it and a compensator...........and he said he palns to carry it. I just hope his pants dont come down in public.

A little Smith and Wesson 9mm with 2 spare mags (If I'm wearing a coat) a little Smith and Wesson .38 with one reload or,if I can't comfortably fit either of those on my person, a tiny NAA .22 Magnum revolver (I got one for my Dad for his Birthday and it's suprisingly accurate)

If I am wearing a coat all the time, I'd keep a full size pistol on me. Depending on my mood like a USP in .45 or a Springfield XMD in 9mm.
