Yes indeed!It gets more complicated when your valid threat matrix includes four-legged predators whose body mass profile exceeds the capacity of the typical antipersonel 9mm JHP.
The top level requirements are different.

Ouch. You seem to be taking my comments personally. I was trying to address your statements respectfully; sorry that you feel the need to disrespect me without having even met more or being aware of my experience and qualifications.Considering all of the requirements is an essential tenet of the requirements analysis process. You apparently do not understand it.
Not at all!Ouch. You seem to be taking my comments personally
No disrespect intended, but I found it very odd that anyone might disagree with establishing as ta requirement hat a firearm intended for concealed carry be concealable.That just didn't make any sense at all.sorry that you feel the need to disrespect me without having even met more or being aware of my experience and qualifications.
Yes, it is a rather simple process, conceptually. I certainly have not intended to complicate it--just to describe it."Requirements analysis process?" Really? You are complicating a simple concept
Nor have I suggested otherwise.t's not up to you to set the requirements for concealed carry.
Different subject entirely.Now if you desire to address legal requirements for concealed carry (in your state), fine;
Absolutely, and it is a requirement that I derived for me. As I put it "I came to the same conclusion as...".Whether or not you desire to "trust your life" to a safety switch that requires a separate and distinct operation to disengage is solely your decision and not a requirement for anyone else.
Great post(s) Kleanbore.
I said:"...I bought the first handgun I ever owned, a Smith & Wesson model 915."
Like this one?
I imagine so.
I've often thought I'd have been better off if I had stopped buying guns after that one and concentrated on mastering it. BUT with factory support non existent for Third Gen S&W and magazines 30% more expensive than Glock magazines I think I'm good
The Mothership no longer supports the 3rd Gen autos?
So true. I'd much rather level a .357 Magnum at a panther or hog than a 9x19It gets more complicated when your valid threat matrix includes four-legged predators whose body mass profile exceeds the capacity of the typical antipersonel 9mm JHP.
I don't spend that much time in the woods anymore but when I lived in my offgrid cabin for awhile my walkabout was my slung 1894 which I recently sold. Back then a Cinnamon Black Bear called my yard his own but my Chihuahua chased him off, so much for bears.
There was a Mountain Lion or two in the area, never saw them in 10 years owning that cabin but neighbors did and I may have seen a paw mark but I'm no expert, coyotes were more of a problem that a 9 can take care of as well as the Lions.
For city and semi-rural my 9 is just right.
Panthers are thin skinned, hogs, 9 probably isn't the right ticket, probably.
I don't change what I carry much. I always have a Black Widow NAA in my pocket holster, if in the woods a 45 colt or 44 and if in the city or doing security a 45 acp. I am old and have settled on what I am comfortable with. Even after years of shooting I practice at least once a week to keep up to speed. If the time should come I hope to be able to do as good as Jack Wilson did.
Hasn't for several years
I know several guys that tote those NAA pocket pieces. Many more do that than actually carry anything bigger. Maybe there is something to them that I’m missing.
FWIW, I sent my 6906 in last year for what I though was an issue with my sights. They replaced a shot-out barrel under warranty and sent it back free of charge and on their dime. They also still offer a 3rd Gen Action Package on the Performance Center services page.
That's good to know I called them to request some parts for my 6906 and they told me they no longer made them and no longer supported them.
Maybe the CSR I spoke to was just having a bad day.
