I’ve pretty much grown up I’m the south all my life, won UKC and PKC hunting and show trophies (PKC was money and since I was 15, thst was nice), I ended up being number 1 in NC when I was 15 PKC. So I’m very comfortable with shotguns (skeet, dove, and duck hunting, etc) and rifles (I honestly cried (deep inside lol) when someone stole my 30-06 Xbolt and 2-12x50 swarovski illuminated scope. I’ve replaced about everything (bought a 7mm rem mag super grade (Winchester maple instead of walnut, it’s AAA maple and looks like it should be in a museum it’s so beautiful, one side looks like tiger stripes and the other looks like about the same but almost like strips of flames) (even the salesman said that lol (about the museum) and it’s glossy) instead of the 30-06 though.
All I need now is a scope (gonna go with a swarovski or Leica, can’t make up my mind) anyway,
Onto the pistol question. I want something that is gonna stop the criminal in their place, and of course I understand shot placement is everything. I had my heart set on buying a Glock, but somehow I stumbled across the Kriss Sphinx.... what do you all think about that for a EDC. I’m in SC, so it has to be concealed, so if I can attach the holster to the belt, I don’t think it would be that heavy. (I have no idea what a 12 pound trigger pull would even feel like (but I think in a crazy adrenaline situation like that, I could pull 12 pounds like it was nothing. I’d like a gun that is extremely reliable and fun to plink with.
I know the Sphinx only comes in 9mm, but I figure with some good dots or some Lehigh ammo, that should put them down. I’m honestly sort of far away from a real gun store (with a large choice), unfortunately the biggest is probably basspro in Myrtle beach (but they don’t carry Kriss products), I don’t mind spending around $1300 and below or around $1300...
I’ve tried to watch numberous videos, but I can’t make up my mind and most people on YouTube of course have just the main guns (I used to be on here and post all the time as JackTheRipper, but I lost my email account (due to graduating college and without warning I lost tons of travel pictures and important emails forever. Argh!
Thanks so much!
