I know there are many factors that contribute to the type of weapon and ammo used for home defense. I currently have a Mossberg 500 ATI Tactical 12 gauge. I have a wife, 2 dogs, and 2 cats. Everyone sleeps in the same room together at night. I still have concern about over-penetration due to my...

Thank you!!

Great to know! Thank you!

I have done a lot of research on ballistics, performance, and price of handgun ammo. I would recommend Federal Premium LE 124 Grain HST JHP for self defense ammo and I would recommend Federal American Eagle 124 Grain FMJ for range ammo. Always at least run a mag of your self defense ammo when...

Thank you for your help! I will definitely look into the LC380 now.

Concealment Express Kydex IWB for S&W M&P9 2.0 Subcompact

I carry a S&W M&P9 2.0 Subcompact IWB in a Concealment Express Kydex Holster. The thickness isn’t typically the issue for me, it’s the height of the gun. I am 5’6” and 150 lbs, so any pistol that has a height greater than 5” will print for me. I would avoid carrying OWB in public places unless...

Kershaw Bareknuckle Olive

All you need to know. Best video discussing calibers I have ever watched. The real discussion in the video is toward the end.

None. I either have a 12 round mag or 15 round mag in my CC depending on the clothing I am wearing. I do keep an extra 17 round mag in my car, and two 12 round mags by my bed. But, I also have a 12 gauge next to my bed as well. Statistically, almost all citizen involved self defense shootings...

APEX triggers are nice, but unfortunately they do not have a drop in trigger for my S&W. They only have trigger kits which will reduce the trigger pull weight, which I personally do not want to do on my CC.

It’s ok. Definitely better than the first gen. I do want to upgrade the trigger (I do not want to reduce the factory trigger pull weight, though). But if I never replace it, I wouldn’t lose sleep over it lol

S&W M&P9 2.0 Subcompact

I personally don’t have experience with shooting both of them, but the only advantage you’ll get is accuracy due to a longer barrel and increased site radius. How much difference in accuracy can depend on the shooter. Your gain in FPS is negligible at those lengths. Other things to consider...

I carry the S&W M&P9 2.0 Subcompact with Trijicon Bright & Tough Night Sights. I always carry IWB. I switch between the 12 round mag and 15 round mag depending on the clothing I am wearing to avoid printing. Before the S&W, I had the SA XD-S MOD.2 in 9mm, which I like a lot.

Great point! I was also considering the S&W Bodyguard for that same reason.

I don’t want this to be a discussion about caliber. I carry IWB everyday, but there are some occasions where that is not an option. I’m looking to get a pocket gun for concealed carry for the times I may need to conceal in my pants pocket or blazer. I am 5’6” and 150 lbs. In order to pocket...
