I disagree that training with a Glock is a good substitute for training with an LCP. The Feel of the trigger and the ergonomics are completely different. If you don't like to or feel comfortable shooting an LCP you shouldn't train with a Glock or any other completely different pistol and then...

That is completely untrue! Law Enforcement and Military bear no responsibility to conceal the weapon! Which is why they they carry full size side arms, also in most cases they are issued or mandated to carry certain full size side arms, with only detectives being able to carry "compact" weapons...

Single action in the 1911 vs double action in the 220? Lower bore axis of he 1911 vs the higher axis of the 220? Better ergonomics of the 1911? Some of the popularity may be nostalgia, or people wanting to know what the fuss is about when they see 1911s of every type and flavor plastered all...

yes the German ones for sure but the American ones were ok until the management / ownership change at Sig. As I understand it this affected more of the newly designed guns than the old standards like the 220 and 228/9. As for the Equinox I just really think your paying out the nose for looks, an...

Gllllloooooooocccccckkkkkkkk FTW!

weight, size, weight, weight,... you see what I did there ? ;) Most often it is a comfort thing, lots of guys can conceal a 1911 or Glock 17 but anything more than a run to the corner store can get annoying quick the bigger the iron. getting in and out of a car, adjusting your pistol, etc...

I kind of agree in some respects with the OP. I'm not a gun snob by any streatch but I generally will not own or use a pistol if there is ANY question about its reliability. I own almost exclusively polymer pistols H&K USP, Glock, SA, and S&W M&P. I didnt buy one of them until they had been out...

I have never shot the Equinox but I have shot a 220. If it were me I'd stick with a box stock 220 add some night sights and be on my way. Though the 220 models haven't seemed to have been affected by Sig's bout of issues with QC, I'd look for a used 220 maybe 4-5 years old. Snatch one up for a...

I dont own a shield but my Beretta Nano is about the same size. I do own a Glock 27. The Beretta conceals and carries significantly better than the Glock! BUT if I could only have one it would be the Glock. I shoot it as well (better in some cases) than any full size pistol and I can use full...

I agree on the Rohrbaugh,but it's well outside what I feel comfortable paying for a pocket pistol.

I know you said that the Kahr P380 is out, but you can find them used for very reasonable prices. Kahr also has a CW380 which is significantly less expensive but way better built IMHO than the Ruger or other 380 alternatives. I personally ditched the .380 in favor of a micro 9, I picked up a...

I dont personally, but many people believe in the addage "two is one, one is none", lots of guys I have bumped into on forums and in shooting often have two or more identical Rifles, pistols, Shotguns, etc. The idea is if one goes down you can transition to an identical version with the same...

Barrel wise I'd reccomend the Daniel Defense CHF Pencil Barrel. The length on the barrel in the picture "looks" like an 11" barrel, I'd either go with their 11.5" and get the long FH pinned. The barrels can be ordered with a FSP from DD, but if you want a period correct FSP then youll have to...

Good pick up, good carbine. It will last you. I have never been in a Walmart that sold ARs, hell most walmarts dont even sell guns anymore. JP

I would stay away from it. Dont know who makes the bolt, the barrel is questionable, etc. Go with reputable companies; Colt, BCM, Daniel Defense, Noveske, etc. You'll be sure to get quality. JP
