Bang Shootie conversation

I didn’t make it clear. It’s for my concealed carry permit. Leaning shield still. The goal is for nobody to know I’m armed. I do not think that the 1911 accomplishes that.

You can shoot whatever you are comfortable with for your permit test. I shot my large frame so I could shoot accurately and fast.

 

[82_VOL_83]

Several of my friends that carry went with the shield. One totes a sub-compact in his pocket. I think it's a ruger

Ruger LCP with Crimson Trace Laser FTW

 

[82_VOL_83]

If I were carrying, and I’m not saying that I am, but if I were right now it would be the Ruger 380. Which is ok but lacks the dropping power I’d like to have.
All hypothetical of course

Hollow Points tend to take care of that somewhat.

Fair enough. An officer sized 1911 has a 3.5 inch barrel vs a 5 inch barrel on a full size 1911, but it will still be substantially bulkier than something like a Ruger LCP or LC9. The LC9 is a nice compact 9mm.

I've got short, fat fingers... so I dont like a gun with a double stack clip; or one that you have to squeeze your finger in between the trigger and the guard. The kel-tec fits my hand nicely. I think it was a sig that I looked at in the sub-compacts that wasnt to tight for my comfort.

I like this one - 10+1 standard capacity....they also offer & I got the 12 shot clip....it is amazingly accurate

The gun snobs are picky about a “clip” vs a “magazine”

that wasn’t a shot at you by 82. He’s just saying the dipsticks will be along soon to point out the difference

I prefer clipazine.

Must have missed those....Thx for the clarity...

Apparently it’s important to know that a clip is disposable a magazine is not.
I cross it up all the time just to piss people off

 

[Orangeslice13]

Or a clip is something that helps load bullets into a magazine. My ammunition I prefer for the AR I may or may not have...comes in clips to make loading the magazine easier. Hypothetically
