Gunsite. As mentioned, this is the perfect time of year for it.

I loved my P11. I would still have it if it weren't for the trigger. You can't beat 13 rounds of 9mm in that size.

A snubby is meant for bad breath distances. With the 642 You have the advantage of sticking the barrel into the ribs/stomach and the gun will fire. You won't have that option with an autoloader.

I would say a Glock 19 or a 3" barreled revolver in .357 Magnum(Ruger/S&W). My duty weapon is a Sig and they have been hit or miss at our agency. I don't think they are as reliable as Glock. Fwiw, I carry a glock or 357 snubby off duty.

Count me in for a blued one. Any updates?

I love the xs front sight on the m&p 340! It's so much easier to get on target than the sights on my older 642.

great gun for carry, however the lightweight snubby is harder to master than semiauto pistols. They have quite a kick to them that turns off women. I wanted one for my wife, but after shooting it, she will not own one due to the recoil and we are searching for a semi auto. I would rent one and...

I would go with the Ruger in 3" barrel or a GP100 as mentioned.

I just picked up my M&P 340 today for $549 before the $50 rebate. I put 100 rds of Speer 135gr 357 short barrel ammo throught it before taking it home. I don't see what all the fuss is about. Using the high revolver grip that Miceluk recommends, I was able to put 5 rounds in a quarter size group...

The J frame really isn't that fat. The cylinder is the widest part. Everything else is thin. Budsgunshop has new NO-LOCK 442s in stock for $391 shipped which IMO is a great deal.

I used to feel under gunned with my S&W 642 when off duty so I started carrying a G23. I've been carrying a gun everyday I'm out of the house for the last 13 years. I've finally gotten to the point where I like to enjoy my off time without having a larger handgun stuck in my pants. I'm now going...

I carry a 229 on duty in uniform and in a Don Hume PCCH AIWB when flying commercial airlines or plain clothes. Its a thick pistol for concealed carry. Thats why I carry a G23 off duty. Its much easier to conceal and is more reliable. I am on my second P229 service weapon in 2 years. The DHS...

I have one of these that I bought from Brownells for under $25. It works great! It does its intended job of keeping smash and grab thieves from getting away with my handgun. It's nice for the fact that it slides underneath one of the seats so it's not visible and it's portable so it can go with...

1. what gun are you carrying there? Glock G23 and SIG P229R 2. what holster do you like for appendix position? i'm assuming IWB, but educate me if i'm wrong. most seem angled for 4:00. All IWB holsters with a straight drop 0 degree cant....FIST Kydex #, High Noon Mr. Softy and Don Hume PCCH 3...

My 642 peeled quite a bit. I bought it used and the finish was close to 100%. I only used Break-Free to clean it. I called S&W and they told me they would refinish it for free but I had to pay shipping to them. A month later I got a bill in for $350 for refinishing the handgun. When I called...
