Owned a Kahr PM9 for about 5 years. Shot some 300 rounds through it. Others posters say they saw shavings on their weapons, but I did not see any plastic shavings on my Kahr so your and others comments come as a surprise to me. Seems like simple poor quality control on your weapon. I now have...
Certainly agree with all the comments about the Ohio State Police overstepping their authority based on info above. There always seems to be rogue operatives at all levels of law enforcement. Just look at the recent IRS disclosures. However, if we have a certain right why does it have to be so...
I acquired the Kel-Tec P3A shortly after it came out because, at the time, it was receiving positive gun writer write ups, was a small size gun with a caliber (.380) that I consider a minimum for a defensive handgun and being small was very easy to carry. I mostly pocket carried it until the...
I have owned and shot the Kahr PM9, the Sig P238 and P938. All three guns have been reliable. The 2 Sigs seem to pocket carry very easily for me with a decent holster. The Kahr never felt comfortable. I owned the Kahr for over 5 years. At the time of purchase it was clearly the best small carry...
My current philosophy is dress for the occasion as other posters have eluded to. I carry smaller capacity weapons when I feel more secure and a larger capacity weapon when I am less comfortable with my surroundings. I prefer the smaller carries whenever possible for the obvious reasons, comfort...
I have the P238 and P938 as 2 or our current 3 CC guns. Both are highly recommended. They are tiny 1911s in function and looks. The fit both my wife and my small hands nicely. (Our 3rd and large CC is a Ruger LC9.) If I did not already own a Beretta 92FS Vertec (special small grips) in SS that I...
If I recall correctly, one of the magazine reviews I read about of the P938 stated that the 1/2 cocked position was a safety feature in case as you are cocking the hammer and your thumb slips off at 1/2 or more of the cocking action, the 1/2 cocked safety catches the hammer and keeps it from...
actaeon277,
I respect your decision and apparent right to OC. I do not agree that I am giving up significant rights by choosing to CC to minimize unnecessary conflict. I now carry my CC either in a paddle type holster that is always just encumbered by lifting my shirt or I CC in my front...
As I am a relatively new member to this site, I have been reading select posts of particular interest such as this one. The Indiana concealed carry vs open carry debate is of significance to me as I have considered open carry for many of the reasons enumerated above. Reading the posts for this...
Was in the military 7 years beginning in the early 70s both as an enlisted man and as an officer. Was assigned as a range officer for a period of time. Lived with the M16 (AR15) most of those years. On the range we would had a very low failure to feed/eject mostly feed problems from cheap...
Newer member with possible dumb comments/questions, but it seems that I have read that it is illegal to carry a loaded gun on the fairgrounds. I have always unloaded my CC before entering the grounds and reloaded it after departure. Can anyone clarify what the rule is? The first sign shown...
My 2 cents worth. I lived with the 5.56 for 7 years in the military. Was a very dependable bad guy stopper at reasonable ranges. Law enforcement agencies nation wide appear to prefer the 5.56 for most urban environments because of a very high stopping rate and minimal collateral damage...
Hi, I have the Ruger LCP 380 and the Ruger LC9 9MM. The Rugers are well made guns that have been completely reliable for me. The Ruger LCP makes for an excellent pocket carry weapon because of its weight and ergonomics. The Ruger LC9 seems a bit large to me to pocket carry. I have small...
Hi, I have the Ruger LCP 380 and the Ruger LC9 9MM. The Rugers are well made guns that has been completely reliable for me. The Ruger LCP makes for an excellent pocket carry weapon because of its weight and ergonomics. I have small relatively strong hands thus the small size is not a problem...
My Sig P938 has been completely reliable with the ammo I have fed through it. The Sig ergonomics, to me, are much better than several of the more blocky CC 9MM such as the Kahr PM9, Berretta CC or the Glocks. The Sig has the three dot night sights that I prefer over the two dot sighting systems...
Hi, I have owned and shot both the Kahr PM9 and the Sig P938. Both have been completely reliable. The Sig ergonomics, to me, are much better than the Kahr. The Kahr seems like a brick to me much like the Glocks. The Sig has the three dot sights that I prefer over the Kahr sighting system. And I...
Hi, The Ruger SR9c has very good reviews by the gun writers. The last article which I about this gun in Guns and Ammo and the writer suggested the gun was slightly on the large size for an every day CC gun. I think the gun weighs about 24 oz without ammo and is a little longer than 6 1/2 inches...
Many quality options. Some are; Ruger LCP in 380 or LC9 in 9MM. Sig P238 in 380 or P938 in 9MM. Kahr small 380 and 9MM. I have shot each of these except the Kahr 380 and all are reliable and easy to handle. Some have safties and some do not. Some are DAO and some are SA. Also owned the Kel-Tec...
