Thank you. I just recently found this forum and am looking forward to reading a lot of great information.Also welcome to INGO I just saw that was you first post... Glad you've joined. There are a lot of helpful and knowledgable people here!
I will definitely look into the Kahr's.They are great little carry pistols so long as you're ok with it having a safety. They are very easy to rack for ladies. They are very easy to take care of and shoot very very well. The night sights are also very good!
While the Sigs are great, if you are unsure or want to check out a few other things I would suggest looking into a Kahr cw380 or cm9. And if you can get a bit bigger Glock 43 or S&W shield (great gun).
While looking up the Kahr, they compared its size to a M&P shield. Does anyone have any experience with the shield?
I have a Ruger LCP, but I originally bought it for my wife. I'm looking for something similar in size to carry myself. I like that you can keep it in your pocket and it's easy to carry. I've thought about purchasing a Sig P238 or a P938. Anyone have experience with these or other options?
Thanks for the reply. That was also what I was thinking. It seems like 9mm is much easier to find (especially on sale).I have a Sig P938 and couldn't be happier. For its size, the recoil is very manageable, plus you get the benefit of having 9mm instead of .380. Also, no matter how you choose to carry, that Sig will basically disappear. Unless something better comes along, I don't see myself being without one.
Thanks for the info. What kind of holster do you use?I have a Sig P938 as my EDC weapon, and it fits nicely in the pocket of pair of khaki shorts or some other loose-fitting pants. I tend to carry it IWB (and it just disappears), but it is small enough to carry just about anywhere. I have carried it a few times as a pocket carry, but it is just not my favorite way to carry.
I had an older version that would get occasional misfeeds, but they redesigned the MSH and sear spring, and since getting the upgrade to the new design, I have not had a single issue. Any new gun will have that new design, so no worries there. The Sig is an amazing, quality gun, and I would recommend it highly. I carry it "cocked and locked" since it is a SAO design, and you should definitely practice drawing and releasing the safety if you are not familiar with the design.
Any questions, let me know.
That helps, because I would like something to carry in my shorts during the summer.I have had a couple of Shields, 9 and 40, they were both a bit too large for pocket carry for me. I went with a Sig P290RS, just a bit smaller than the Shield and a DAO without a safety.Welcome to the site.
