My stainless Kahr Mk9 Elite 03 is so much better than a Glock 26 .There is no comparison .The Kahr will fit in a front pocket holster and the trigger is most excellent. The trigger reminds me of a K frame Smith with a good double action trigger job. It was comsiderably more expensive than a Glock but well worth the extra money.
 
Been shopping around a bit and handled a PPS and a G26. The PPS is certainly slimmer, but I liked the way the G26 felt in my hand. The G26 is also about $100 less than the PPS from what I have seen.

I am eyeing a Generation 3 G26, as I have "heard" there are some issues iwth the Gen 4. True or just internet BS?


Edit: Just realized the irony in the above statement/question. I'm asking if this is just internet BS............on the internet. :)

The 26 has been using the dual recoil springs for years. Should be good yo go as long as you like the slightly different grip and mag release.
 
I carry my sig p226 for summer carry whenever I can hide it. If I can't hide it, then I'l go with the LCP. I wear a lot of Hawaiian shirts so printing is a problem, if the 226 peeks then so do other things like the bersa 380, walther, etc. That's just been my experience. If it prints on the waist, I go straight to pocket carry.
 
I will say that most of the firearms mentioned are reliable enough for conceal carry, but ultimately it is your choice. I was wondering if, my friend should get rid of his Jennings Nine. I will say that I think he has never shot the pistol. We however noticed that it has been stamped (by the facotry) with x's in the slide. My thinking was it was supposed to be a .380, but then decided the last minute to change it to 9mm. I was wondering if it was like a coin that has been double stamped, in that it is a collectable??? Any information would be appreciated.

Can't you open carry in Idaho?
 
None of the above...

I carry the same guns year round but if I needed to go to a small 9mm the Kel-Tec PF-9 would get my vote. Mine has been flawless through 3000 rounds, is accurate, lightweight, and thin. My gets use as a BUG in my pocket.
 
A friend of mine has offered to let me shoot his Kahr, and I am going to do that before I make a final choice.
