    I wish I had liked my LCP. I wish it were more reliable actually. The thing barely cycled ammo. I probably just had a Friday afternoon or Monday morning one.

    What did you you switch to for pocket carry?

    I carry either Springfield XDs 3.3 or Colt Enhanced Officer's Model.

    I have carried a full size 1911 in a shoulder rig.

    Bought a Star PD .45 3 weeks ago and have carried it daily.
    Carries in and out of waistband wonderfully. Shoots straight using 185gr gold dots.

    I like the Kimber Ultra +II. I have bigger hands so I like it's bigger grip. I have had only 1 malfunction with it and that was in the first 20 rounds.More than 500 since and no issues.

    S&W SW1911PD - a lightweight (Al frame) commander clone with an external extractor. I put so many rounds through it I bought a Colt combat commander to practice with so I wouldn't wear it out. It carried fine IWB in a horsehide holster when I spent a lot of time in Florida.

    I wanted to carry a 1911 for a while but decided that I wanted to carry something that could be reliable without all of the maintenance.

    Still debating and waiting for the Shield to get approved. I have a buddy that has one in purgatory so I'll look closely at that once he can get it.

    I have been carrying the G30 IWB in either a Theis or Sticky holster. Both have advantages and disadvantages and in the winter with more clothes, it's not too bad, but I'm still leaning towards a somewhat thinner profile and lighter weight for an everyday IWB carry pistol in .45acp

    I will look more closely at the 30s as well, since I like the idea of the larger capacity. It can mean the difference between carrying a spare mag or not and that is a factor also...

    The 30s with a Little Foxx IWB holster is very comfortable and very concealable.

    Glock 30s hands down.

    Why is this? Because you own 20 Glocks and they're "the best"? You don't even carry .45.

    Pretty tired of your zero gun experience blowing the Glock penis. Glock is not the end all carry pistol out there. Geezus. Give it a break. You've shot nothing else, and tout Glock. By your own admission, you don't get to the range enough. Oh, you had a shield that you got rid of because it wasn't a Glock.

    Did I piss in your cornflakes? Block me if you don't like what I have to say. I am caught a little off guard here because I didn't know WE had a problem but if we do so be it. Unless you are just drunk posting in which case you are forgiven.

    By the way you quoted a post from early September. It took you two months to go into dick mode?

    Dude, Glock is not the only decent brand out there. Just because you have limited experience, doesn't mean every other brand sucks.
    It's just tiring when someone asks about a recommendation, Glock is the best. It's getting old. We know you have Glocks, and you hate other brands. Other brands are good too. Anyone who is a shooter, can shoot anything.
    Just letting you know, Glock is NOT the only quality pistol out there.

    First of all I didn't scale back my handgun collection to all Glock semi-autos and Ruger revolvers until last year. I have owned numerous other brands of handguns over the past 25 years and started carrying in Maryland in 1995. Of course I haven't shot a few million rounds on the taxpayers dime like you have but I don't exactly have zero experience either. I do often carry a Glock 30s so your super LEO xray vision may be lacking somewhat when you think you know what I carry. I didn't say any other brand sucks so again, wtf is your problem? Block me if you don't like what I say.

    Chime in with some other positive gun brand experience then. All you post about is Glock. It's tiring.
    Well, my xray vision knows what you carry because you always post it. That, and in little fox holsters. JUST. GETTING. OLD about Glock.

    Funny since I can remember a time when all you talked about was Sig 229 and the .357 sig caliber but I guess you have matured in the last few years.

    What's tiring is your constant mood swings on the forum. Why be a dick? Is there some reward in it for you? I frequently type a post and read it before hitting submit and then delete it because it would be a dick move to post it. Clearly you just hit submit no matter how ignorant your post is.
