What do you plan to carry?

Pay2Play · Mar 7, 2012

So for those optimist such as myself that thinks we will becoming Shall Issue sooner than later, what do you plan to carry?

I don't currently own anything that would be suitable and have a few things in mind. Was originally thinking about a Sig 1911, but I'm not sure I feel comfortable with carrying a SAO weapon cocked with one in the chamber. I think I would prefer either a DAO (like a XDm) as my first choice or DA/SA as my second choice.

Just wondering what everybody has in mind?

I was actually thinking just this. I'd probably drop the 300 for a pf9. I have no reason to buy a mini pistol until I can carry, though. Just bought a new pistol anyway, so it'd give me another month to contemplate.

My Kershaw that I already carry everyday. I'm not getting all giddy about a gun just yet.

depends on the weather. Next pay day I should have an apex dcaek for the m&p and a nice crossbreed supertuck to go along with it. I'm planning on that being my primary carry gun, the pf9 for when im in a speedo, and the p99 for winter under a jacket.

How do you like the pf9?

If I had "The Right to Keep and Bear Arms", I'd seriously have to consider one of these....

Inigoes, I kind of hate you. But it's a good type of hate. The type of hate that makes me want to be you.

Most of the time, I carry my M&P .45, there are times I carry a classic - Browning Hi-Power 9mm, but for the most part the M&P is my go to, especially since I usually carry a few extra mags for it.

This is the up-and-comer when blessed by the BATFE later this month :fingerscrossed:

Krashmania, can I use that as a substantiated threat on the MDSP carry form? :lol2:

If i had to do it again, i'd probably save more for a kahr. the cm9 and pm9 have a lower bore axis and have less felt recoil. The pm9's polygonal rifling gives the most velocity for the barrel length.

I like my pf9, but there are issues worth noting. It's hard to be accurate because the trigger is not very good. It is long and fairly heavy(good for something that might be pocket carried), but has about 1/3" overtravel after the break that throws shots off. A pencil erasor glued behind the trigger helps, but will eventually fly off. Epoxying a nub back there and filing down would be more durable for a trigger stop.

The pf9 to get is definately the hard chromed one. the factory black finishes suck fairly bad and will pit with rust. Floor wax or eezox helps bigtime, but you don't have to really worry about it at all on the hard chrome ones. The other thing to keep in mind is they're sensitive to limp-wristing. If i shoot mine with a solid wrist, it cycles everything just fine. After 100 or so shots, my hand is pretty abused and it'll start failing to feed the next round from the magazine because of my wrist slackening up. It'll eject the spent brass, but not cycle far enough back to feed the next shot. It isn't as frequent with hotter defense loads as with crappy underpowered target ammo.

smokey - I'll have to pick your brain later once that apex kit is in your M&P, it's something I've been considering for mine.

Sounds good. When i'm not sick anymore, i plan on swinging over to gunconnection and getting one thrown in. If you want, we can meet at a range after so you can toss some shots through it. I'll try to remember to PM you after i get it fixed up.

What do you plan to carry?
