EDC question ( Asking for a friend)

[GrumpyFarmer]

For shooting at the range, a larger profile is definitely more fun. My Ruger GP-100 in .357 is really nice to shoot, but then I could never use it as a CCW. The Sig p-938 is sweet for that and I will have it if needed. What good is a larger gun with a great hand feel if it’s sitting at home when you need it? View attachment 161222

Yep, You are spot on…that’s why I have a p938 too. . (I don’t use the magazine extensions or I could not get it in my box)

A 357mm handgun has good stopping power. Only Walmart is not selling ammunition for them any longer.

Skeet’s, that HK would be my choice for sure. Hammer fired, manual safety and a decocking lever would give me the safety insurance I look for. The one I looked up was a 10 round mag.

I have a p365 with the manual safety. But I can’t get past those striker fired pistols relying on about .030” of a metal pin stopping it from firing. I know, I know, everyone is going to say they have been carrying for years and never had an accident. But I refuse to carry with one in the chamber and that’s just me.

I know a guy who found the perfect pistol (several times). One is this Springfield compact LW. He found it at the LGS and it followed him home. Before it had any miles on it, he spent a lot of time wearing the knife-sharp edges off of it. Then it made a trip to Robar (RIP) for their NP3 finish.

Springfield XDS compact .45 cal. Thin, doesn't print with nice IWB holster. 7+1 but I always carry a spare mag as well. Even have a nice green light/laser combo on it.
