That is what the S&W Shield is. I am looking at the 9mm.

I know you are already looking at the 9mm, but something else for anyone else to consider is ammo cost.

9mm's are about a dime cheaper per round than .380's.
9mm's seem to be more plentiful at the stores as well.

Brings up the Q: what do you CCW holders do when crossing state lines, etc? Forget you're concealed @ airport, etc. = Forfeiture of weapon and possible federal charges?

I haven't crossed any state lines, and MOST states have CC reciprocity with Texas anyway. And - I REFUSE to fly commercial.

What I absolutely have to be careful of is schools, government offices and post offices. I carry all of my waking hours and I'm so accustomed to the feel that I forget about these "soft targets"!

I know my Father In Law carried the larger one. The tiny one was for my Mother In Law but she never carried it.

My wife has tried several. Started with the G27, then went Sig938, now with the G43. She is pretty small and seemed to like the Sig938 in a Remora the best. I carry a G29 in the winter time and the G27 in the summer. I need to find a holster for the 938 and try it this coming summer, I don't care much for the Remora.

Short but sweet comparison video between the LC9s and the G43. I like this guys' style . . .

And, of course, a "hickock45" video of the LC9s . . .

Recd an interesting on topic email solicitation yesterday, worthy of consideration - Concealed Carry Liability Insurance.

Well, being a gentleman cost me my gun today. I went to get it and a young lady and her boyfriend walked up to the counter and we started talking about guns. I told her what I had come there to get and she decided to look at one as well.
So I let the sales clerk wait on her first which was almost a good thing for me. She pulled the gun up on her smart phone for $50.00 less than what this shop had it for and the salesman agreed to let her have it for that price.
I asked him if I could get the same price and he said yes. So he went to the back to get the guns and came back with only one box. He said they were out and the demo was the only one left. Of course the young lady took it so I asked him if he would honor that price when more came in. He said if it was still the same price at the place the girl pulled up when his came in he would.
I looked at this gun Tuesday and they had 22 of them in stock.

Phil, if you had not asked for the discount he might have come back with two boxes!
Did she even offer it to you, knowing you went there to get one?

No she didn't offer to let me have it but I told her to take it so I really don't have anyone to blame but myself. I went online and checked their inventory and they show 0 in stock.
I am fixing to ride out there in a little bit just to look. And, I will be carrying a printed copy of the sale price from the other shop.

I carry the lc9s pro as a few others do, have nothing but great things to say about it. Outstanding gun!

[KCTurbo]

Alvin, I have insurance. Not a bad idea. No one wants to save their own life or a loved ones, only to have it ruined by legal fees.

I recently purchased the new Walther CCP. I wanted to stay with 9mm for cost of ammo and easy availability. This is my second gun. I also have a Walther PPQ. The reason I like Walthers is they are ergonomic and feel good in your hand. I have smaller hands. Other guns are like holding a brick.

Anyways, this is a great shooting gun. Easy slide and a reduced recoil because of their Softcoil gas technology.

I also like the Shield and Bodyguard.

[fyrffytr1]

I was finally able to get my Shield today. It took some digging on my part but I was able to get it for $66.00 less than the advertised price. It's a long story so I won't bore you with the details.
Now, I can't wait for Christmas so I can open it! It is my present from my wife.

Today a fellow PY'er and I spent a couple of hours killing paper targets. Here is Snakepod loading up. Had lots of loud fun today!

I personally carry the Ruger LCR .357 loaded with .38 +P's w/Teflon...but also have speed loaders handy with .357 Silvertips for if/when it gets outta control or I wanna take out someone's engine block! Seriously...carrying day in and day out for years I also have a Beretta Bobcat (.22 LR) which I carry in the summer as it doesn't print. I've walked into many establishments and unless they wand you or you go thru a metal detector they would never know. Actually forget it is on me sometimes. Folks laugh when I say .22 but I treated a guy when I was a surgery tech who was gut-shot with a .22 and it is NOT like you see on TV...all he could do was moan and groan...and ooze bile out of his extra belly button. Also....22 is lethal to 400 yards...much more FPS than a .380. Talking lethal punch...not that you could hit anything that far away....but it has been tested by the folks at Savage and the .22 still had over 1,000 FPS @ 400 yards. Even the LCR gets too bulky at times. Just sayin'...I know you already found your gun, but I thought I had too until I started packing it all day every day.My S&W Model 13 .357 is my nightstand piece, Yes...I'm partial to wheel guns! Good luck and hope you never HAVE to use it! Safe shooting!
