You don’t have to, but I do. I want the size and weight advantages of a smaller handgun for better concealment, but have a DA/SA full size, metal handgun with 20 round mags for home defense. Personally, I’m not one to conceal and carry a full size weapon, but I damn sure want one for home...

Personally, I standardized on 9mm for handguns. It’s a military and police de facto standard, and if any ammo is available, it will be 9mm. I enjoy my 1911s and keep a small amount of .45 ACP as well, but all my carry and home defense handguns are 9mm.

Love my P226 Legion, but I also love my M11-A1 which is better suited for winter carry, and is roughly the same size as a Glock 19.

I’m not a Glock hater and own two of them, but mainly as range toys or for home defense use. Glock 19 was a great choice years ago for concealed carry, when the other choices weren’t as good. Today, there are better choices.

My LGS has 3 of them, but they’re asking $799 each. Price aside, have they fixed the extraction issues? Is there a serial number range to look for?

2A attorneys that some of us may be familiar with if you have US LawShield. They say exactly that…and not to pursue, etc.

I dared to make that point here a few months back and got jumped on. It’s a shame because I wanted one badly but now wouldn’t buy one on a bet. A year later and you still can’t find one anywhere but maybe one of the auction sites for a premium (which its isn’t worth). Other companies seem to...

I’m suggesting if there are burglars in the garage and they are safely in the house, and they go out to the garage and use deadly force…yes…they would be the aggressor at that point. Standing your ground is NOT the same thing as looking for a fight or using deadly force when your life is not...

The M1A/M14 is a great rifle and a part of history. But no way would I rather have one as a “bugout” rifle over an AR-15. Many of the same reasons that led the military to switch would apply. Size and weight of the rifle and ammo (impacting number of rounds carried), ease of cleaning the AR...

Not incorrect. My family lives in FL and has for 30 years. I carry in FL when I’m there visiting. You cannot go looking for a confrontation. When you do, that’s not self defense. Standing your ground means you don’t have a duty to retreat, but that’s not the same thing as being the aggressor.

It’s not suited for anything if you still can’t buy it a year after it’s supposed to be for sale.

In fact this is why the Ahmaud Arbery case ended in convictions. Regardless of whether the defendants had good or bad intentions, they went looking for a fight. That automatically invalidates your claim to self defense in Georgia at least.

I’m not a lawyer, but what I think a lawyer would tell you is that if you’re safe inside your home, you call the cops and wait inside your home. If the bad guys try to enter your home, then you have the right to defend yourself. But the minute you leave that position of safety to engage the bad...

While you don’t have a duty to retreat in most states and castle doctrine applies to your dwelling, if go outside and confront them and fire “warning shots” then you are now shifting the responsibility to yourself. The best action in that circumstance is to call 911 and take defensive positions...

My wife and I both have P365XLs. I rotate with my Hellcat and Shield Plus. What a great time to be carrying concealed. Not like 20 years ago when your choices were a Glock 19 or something big and heavy.

And to add to the point…my 2 LGS’s locally had 10 of the new S&W M&P 9 Metal handguns. A bit expensive and not for me, but announced on 9/1 and two weeks later they’re available. The same market forces work for S&W and Sig. So who knows. I’ve abandoned my decision to buy a SA-35.

Not calling anyone anything. And I’m neither blind nor stupid. Don’t want to make this personal, but your posts were essentially calling me naive for stating the obvious.

It’s been 11 months. If they’ve only produced a few thousand units in that time, then you’re making my case for me. Not sure why you’re defending them. Do you work for SA? And I have called SA and the answer I got was very general and non-specific.

I buy 115gr in bulk now for $0.30-0.35/round. Get 1,000 rounds of PMC or Blazer Brass for $0.30 or American Eagle for $0.35 with a few others in between. WWB sells for $0.40/round so thankfully no more of that stuff for me. The PMC is good stuff.

Exactly. To say it’s “in the marketplace” is disingenuous. The example I used is a good one. Sig released the P365X Macro a few weeks ago. I can go today…and buy one. I might have to drive a few minutes but I can buy one at a FFL or online on one of the sites like PSA. And not for double the MSRP.
