I bought an FIE Titan many moons ago at a gun show to carry as a back up gun. I put three or four boxes of FMJ through it over the years, never a bobble. Several years ago the pin holding the firing pin gave way and the pin came flying back and hit me in the chest (always wear eye protection!)...
I have a Keltec and my wife has an LCP. These guns are straight up self defense weapons and don't pretend to be anything else. I've been reading about trigger pulls, resets, sight improvements etc and find it funny. These guns are NOT target guns; they are designed for across the table, under 15...
Since I moved to the hot, humid South my primary carry gun has been my Kahr CM9. I see it as the 21st Century answer to the Chiefs Special. Easy to carry, easy to shoot, quick to reload...mission accomplished.
My minimum is my Keltec P32 loaded with 71 gr. FMJs. If I'm carrying this small gun it it for maximum concealment. If I need to use it it I need maximum reliability; the .32 is good round but I need it to go bang every time I pull the trigger and I need the rounds to go deep enough. I practice...
I was issued this round right out of the Academy. The department was going through a "lighter/faster" phase. As I recall it was downright tame our of our 6" barrels (Smiths and Colts). After about a year we went to a 95 gr +P which was even easier to shoot. They finally settled back on the 110...
I've always felt that for CCW the holster should not have and active restraint systems; thumbsnaps, straps, buttons or other impedements to the draw. The holster should be fitted to the gun carried and perhaps have a passive restraint like a tension screw, but for a smooth draw that is already...
I live north of you and rethought my 9mm loadings for the exact same reasoning. Even out of my Kahr CM9 the 147 gr is a very easy round to shoot quickly and accurately.
Bellevue WA carried S&W M-39's in the late 70's - early 80's. Many small WA departments carried 1911's. My first department allowed M-39's until the Chief had to shoot a suspect 12 times to put him down (FMJ's - go figure)...it wasn't until many years after he retired that auto were even...
