High Plains, Here's a couple: 1) Intentional failure to conceal. At least in Texas the OP would have committed a Class A Misdemeanor when he lifted his shirt and showed his carry gun. A Class A Misdemeanor comes with a fine not to exceed $4000, confinement in jail not to exceed one year or...

Let me be the first to say...big mistake. I don't want to sound critical, but in my opinion you should never under any circumstances reveal to someone that you are carrying. EDIT: Maybe "big" was the wrong word, but I still think it was a mistake. :)

Ahhhh...another happy Glock owner. :D I too have a new G17. I shot it for the THIRD time on Saturday when I took my CHL renewal class. I still need to get some more practice in with it, but I was good enough with it at 3, 7 & 15 yards to still score 250/250 on the Texas DPS CHL...

Any chance he knows EXACTLY what they are and just wants you to admit it?

Okay...nothing is official until I actually hold and shoot one, but at this point I think I've pretty much ruled out the J frame. I went and looked at one at Academy tonight. The guy behind the counter let me stick it in the front pocket of my jeans. There is NO WAY I could carry that thing in...

Kmrcstintn, what you've said makes sense for pocket carry in a jacket, but I've already said that this would be for pocket carry in jeans or pants. I agree that in a jacket the revolver could definitely provide somewhat of an advantage (in theory anyway), but for jeans or pants you're not going...

I don't particularly like IWB carry. It's very uncomfortable. That's why I carry my G22 OWB. I'm not a fan of ankle carry either, but for the times I'd be going that route I'd probably have time to reach down and unholster (for instance, while sitting in a church auditorium of 600-700...

Perfect for what? Concealed Carry? Competition Shooting? Plinking? Combat? I don't think you'll find a gun that's perfect for everything...except maybe my Glock 22 (which isn't so great for pocket carry). ;)

MCGunner, what you're saying seems to make a lot of sense. The P11 is 5.6" long, 4.3" tall and 1" thick. The J frames are 6.4" long and I'm guessing they're probably roughly 5" tall and 1.25" thick at the grip and the cylinder. Granted, I've never tried sticking either of these in my front...

Thanks for all of the suggestions. Right now it looks like the votes are pretty close between the P3AT and the J frame, which is pretty consistent with what I've seen on the other boards. I honestly do not like the idea of carrying a .380, but when I'm carrying this gun I will likely be...

I'd be ashamed to show the target I shot up when I stopped off at the range today on my way home from work. This was my second time to shoot my new G17 (which I bought thinking that since it was 9mm I'd be able to afford to shoot more often). Yikes!! It wasn't pretty. I shoot MUCH better...

Monkeyleg, I think you lost your bet. ;) We've got some good shooters on this board. At 25 yards freehand if I keep them inside the circles on a 25 yard slow fire pistol target I've done pretty good!! At 15 yards I can usually keep them in the black. At 3 and 7 yards my target looks...

This is interesting. I was really expecting the snubbie to win the vote hands down, but it appears the P-3AT has the lead (at least for now). I'm going to be going to Red's here in the Austin area for some range time one day this week. I believe they do rentals there so if they have them I...

Based on comments and suggestions in THIS thread and similar ones on Glocktalk and TexasCHLForum, I have revised my list of potential pocket guns and I'm once again seeking your input. I haven't shot any of these three handguns so before making a final decision on which one to buy I will need...

Honestly, no good reason. I'm just not a revolver fan. I don't see any advantage to using them. Why go with a heavier, larger, lower capacity revolver (S&W 642 or 638 for instance) when you can have a lighter, smaller, higher capacity semi-auto (Kel-Tec P11 for instance)? That said, everyone...

Psalms 9-11 Right book, wrong chapter. Psalm 23 "The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake. Even though I walk through...

For those suggesting a revolver because it can shoot from the pocket, I'm not quite sure how you would actually pull that off. Say I do reach down into my pant or jean pocket and grab hold of the gun. Isn't it going to be a little awkward trying to orient it while still in the pocket and get...

I want to get a good pocket carry gun and I've pretty much narrowed it down to one of the following. I'm looking for input regarding the pros and cons of each. Those of you who own or have owned one of these models please chime in with your input. Kahr PM9 - I've heard nothing bad about...

You may want to have your Glock checked out by a certified armorer.

I sold my PT145 about three months after I got it, but my wasn't the pro series. It was inaccurate and the trigger was terrible. That's the only gun I ever sold that I don't wish I still had.
