Pocket 9mm opinions

Recommended Posts

Shield is good.  Galloway Precision makes a replacement trigger for the LC9.  SCCY  so so.  Nano acquired liking.
 
Pocket carry and Subcompacts are two different categories.  You'll need to check carefully.  I would make sure you do touchy feeley with them before crossing any off the lists.  Each has a big list of pluses and minuses.

I've heard very little about these and don't know anyone who has one. But the nano has perked my curiosity.

 

I have one.  Snagless design.  6+1 capacity or 8+1 with extended mags.  Striker fired.  It was what people want from Glock - a single stack 9mm.  The trigger pull is long but smooth.

Pocketgun? Go with the S&W Bodyguard .380

 

You also don't want a pocketgun as a nightstand gun. Get a full size or a compact if you must.

 

Pocket gun and nightstand gun are two entirely different roles and ideally you want different guns to fulfill those roles.

Shield is a great gun, but definitely not pocket sized. I shot a lc9. Trigger was god awful. I bought a kahr cm9. Similar to pm9 without the bells and whistles. Look into it. Its an awesome gun.

Not interested in a .380, looking for compact 9mm

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
