Does anyone have a compact and only use it for HD and at the range?

 

I own a M&P9 FS and love it. I'd like to stay with the same platform, and I'm considering the M&P9c. Does it make sense to buy a compact when the primary use will be for range shooting?

 

I would not. For that use I would get a full size M&P in .40 or a 1911

I have a S&W BG380 I use for CCW when I'm out of state along with my Glock 19. Keep both ready at home along with 3 shottie's, 2 870's in 12ga and 20ga and a Mossberg HS410.

My vote is 1911 if you don't own one ...shoot one and it'll change you're world..lol?.....I'd go with the commander in your shoes...it's essentially the middle size...they cone in essentially 3 sizes....govt-commander-officer officer being the smallest along the size of a thinner slightly shorter glock 19/23

Yes, you want to shoot it as much as you can to become repetitive with it if you are going to CCW..

Having shot and carried full size and Commander 1911s for almost 40 years there's little difference in carrying or shooting them. The Commander is about 3/4" shorter and about 1 oz lighter than a steel Commander and 2 1/2 oz lighter than a full size. Not a lot of difference when you're talking about a 2 lb gun. IMO full size and Commander 1911s are all about the same unless you really have a unique list of requirements.

 

I know a Glock 19 is considered a compact but I consider it to be the best all around 9mm on the market.

I have all sizes of Glock but my favorite one to shoot is the Glock 26. I also enjoy shooting my airweight snubby. The compacts and sub compacts are not just for ccw.

XDs, the best carry gub ever made IMHO :-)...45 cal, exteemly small 5 or 7 round mag, extreemly accurate for this type of gun...See my two posts on two seperate shoots....Can't beat 45 cal for self defense...

 

For range there are so many chiocis but everyone should be required by Government/Obama ;-) to own a 1911 (in 45 of course).
