Due to my age I don't think I will make any "buys". Edit: I have carried the SW 44 Mag on duty, SW 39 Auto, and SW Highway patrol mod. They were all good for their time. I forgot the SW mod 66 unfired presented at retirement.Can't argue with your logic Stubbs, however, you slip that under your spandex and report back to us, mile 10, and see if you want to swap out for a micro pistol, lol... Perhaps we should get on to more 'manly - men' type firearms. Your turn Stubbs, what are U interested in purchasing for yourself at some point in the near future?I have always like the revolver they don't jamb, they have a hammer that if you cock it the pull is reduced, if it is a 38 or larger will can stop a man with one round. If you use six run like hell. If you shoot a man more that 16 times its call murder in Chi town. Just hope you don't have the shooting witnessed by a Progressive.I'm always chatting up members at the range exchanging anecdotal experiences with the ever changing landscape of firearms. Most helpful and edifying are the instances where innovations of mechanics, ergonomics and utilitarian design are addressed in a positive way. Towards this end of positive feedback, advice & tips, I'm creating this thread.
The vast majority of owned firearms have been updated or improved; those that haven't are likely classics or home runs upon introduction. I'm hoping that we can jump past every 'stick' and 'hand cannon' in one's arsenal & focus on the edification aspect for existing gun owners and those that are testing the waters of potential ownership. By all means Anti - 2Aers are welcome! I do hope that we can steer this post back to its original intent as the inevitable partisanly political ideologies start surfacing...
I'll start it out.
- I'm always surprised at the somewhat ubiquitous design challenges in the micro, concealed carry (CC) pistol market. I find that double action (DA) is inherently more challenging to shoot with the long trigger pull but recognize the importance of this long trigger pull for personal defense as a safeguard against potential prosecutorial legal issues were I to use my firearm in a shooting. I recently swapped out my LC9 for the lighter, shorter trigger pull on the newer LC9S. I also found the trigger (sear) break to be much more crisp.
While the LC9S is designed as a small CC pistol, I'm really looking for a micro CC pistol in something smaller than a 9mm that has the similar improvements in trigger characteristics that I found in the 9S. Anyone shoot anything in a .38 or .32 single stack that has a polymer lower & fits nicely in women's jogging / yoga type attire?
