I didn't need one either...

But I suspect you will after this weekend... ;) :cool:

I fear you are correct. I hate these threads. Onewhipped is a dead man.

I think the standard for a 9mm pocket pistol is the Kahr PM9, or CM9 if you want the cheaper version.

I'll make you a good deal on a P250.;)

I had a PM9. Magazine fit was poor. It did not go up tight to the bottom of the grip. I also had reliability problems with WWB, which is pretty standard stuff.

It fit my hand well, but the P250 shoots reliably.

Taurus TCP here. There is never an outfit it doesn't work with.

And a G26 for most of the time.

And a G17 for winter.

Now Illinois just needs to start issuing CCWs.

Seems that the Springfield stuff has gone up. My MilSpec was $450 in 2008, $750 now.

Did you break it in for the specified 200 rounds?

As for the mag, I suppose but that's the way it was designed.

Be careful, tabs is going to drag up his old posts telling you what a great investment firearms are...

.38 is perfect (for me) in a revolver. Manageable and easy to use fast... I HATE shooting high power mini revolvers. Nasty recoil.

Randy I agree with you, I had a Colt Cobra that made warm .38 specials uncomfortable. I'm just saying that I was very impressed with how shootable an LCR is even with .357 mags. I thought it would be miserable, but instead it made me grin.

I went to the range yesterday with 3 guns, .38 airweight, .357 Blackhawk, and my Sig P226 .40. I had intended to spend some quality time with my Sig. Until I discovered that my magazines were at home in another box:( I had prepaid for the lane, and I figured would blast away with the .38 and the .357. I guess I need to turn in my man card, but my damn hand hurts today!

No love for the mini 45 s?

Kimber Super Carry Pro HD. Great comfort, 4 inch that shoots as well as a regular frame.

Kimber,,,,,nice but for 1600+ it should sleep with me.....

LC9 Gun Review: Ruger LC9 | The Truth About Guns

I am not a big fan of Kimbers. Grossly over rated.

I shoot fewer rounds more frequently than most. I might shoot 50 or so center fire, and a handfull of .22, and maybe a rifle or two, a couple times a week in my yard. I don't know if I've ever shot 100 .357 magnums at one sitting. I do know that swapping the LCR shooting .38's for a 3" K-frame Smith made the Smith feel like a .22 in comparison. I find 30+ .357's in the LCR to be hard on the wrist. But the LCR fits my hand in such a way that it doesn't beat me up. I've shot a 4" Security Six (with wooden service stocks) that was far more punishing than the LCR. I'm not suggesting at all that the LCR does not recoil, or that you're a sissy if you can't handle it. I assumed (based on my experience) that the LCR would be nearly unusable with .357's, but after shooting one was impressed by how the little gun is not just a .38 Special with a longer cylinder, but is actually a shootable .357 magnum in a remarkable package. And I don't like plastic guns.

Look at Walther PPK/s and Kimber Solo Carry. Both small enough to pocket carry. Both beautifully made. Never a single FTF/FTE from the PPK/s and only 3 jams ever from the Solo carry. Prolly a thousand rounds through each.
I like revolvers too, I keep one in my car. But I find it too bulky to carry.

Took at a look at some carry guns today. That Sig 938 is a nice little machine. Its $750, but it feels like its worth it.

I need to go handle them, but I'm about sold on a 238, 938, or PPK. I prefer SA and metal over polymer.

I'm going to be out of town this weekend or I'd tell you to come down and shoot my 938... ;)
