 :o I have a Larcin .380 and it is a straight shooter. But I carry a 357 Taurus 651SS2 so I can be the guy who goes home. I pratice regularly and prey I do not have to use it.

If she says, "What are you doing?"  ... It's too small.

No, you just have to respond - "Pleasuring you?"

And hope she doesn't respond - "well, stop it, it's annoying!"

Ya heard about the guy with the small Johnson went to a whore house.  When he undressed the woman laughed and said "Honey. who do you expect to please with that?"  To which he answered "ME, BITCH!  ME!"

This thread sounds like it's going towards "Show Me Your Snubby".  Please ... no pictures.   :o

To this thread, I had an experience that goes to whatever you can carry on you.

Was living in Houston and had just come out of my customer's office which was located in a not-so-good part of town.  Had to mail a letter and across the street from their office was a mail box in a bank parking lot.  Normally, I would have had my HKP7 (or a custom tuned S&W 3906) on me.  But because I was at my customer’s office it was stored securely in my car between my seat and console. 

As soon as I park and walk over to the mail box, a car pulls up between me and my car.  Loud rap music is being pumped out of the oversized speakers in the trunk.  The driver smiles at me.  He either had a piece of pepperoni or a ruby on his tooth.  Just when I was wondering if they didn’t see too many 5’9” blue eyed blondes wearing nice suits and driving new cars in their hood that it dawned on me that they were not going to mail a letter. 

Just as I see the driver reach for his door handle the passenger who was scanning the parking lot taps him on the shoulder and they leave … smiling at me like a Cheshire Cat.  A Houston PD car had just pulled into the bank parking lot. 

Moral of the story.  Carry the gun on you.  In the car or in the safe will not do you any good.  Carry what you can shoot reliably and carry comfortably. 

I am in the market for a smaller handgun. Would get a S&W “J” frame tomorrow if I didn’t distrust the internal lock so much. As to caliber and this thread, I would not have an issue with a 32ACP if it was reliable and on the right platform.

I sure wish I could be a Liberal. World peace, harmony, food for all, no disease, gluttony, greed..

Guess I'll just have to settle for going "GREEN" for the environment.

AND I blend in well in the produce section of my grocery. Right Ron J, always carry.



PF9-P3AT.

So, how many rounds do you have through that PF9?  Snappy to shoot?

Haz, I put 300 rds of WWB through it and 50 rounds of Federal Hydra-Shoks. Then I Dura Coated both slides OD green and test fired with no malfunctions.

Snappy? Oh Yea, but manageable at close in ranges. ALMOST as easy to carry as the .380, and when you fire them side by side, you really experience the extra "thump" you get with the 9mm. Now I am both comfortable AND comforted. It's the same carry size as a Model 60 S&W, and a few ounces lighter.

Mac.
ps. IMHO, forget the belt clip and trigger shoe options. The clip removes meat from your big knuckle under recoil and the trigger shoe is significantly wider than the trigger guard, making holstering or pocket carry certain disaster. I have both items for sale at half price if anybody just has to have them. PM me, please. DM.
