Got one more P2P to burn.... 90 days are up by April 20th, and I'll extend to 180 if need be... kinda looking at something along the lines of a pocket pistol.

 

Requirements: 

 

1.  Shall use a caliber I already stock (9mm, 38spc/357 mag)

2.  Pocket sized and/or easily concealable

3.  Relatively affordable

 

One thing which caught my eye: 9mm Ruger LCR.  Anyone try this thing yet?  If not, how about the Ruger LC9?

 

Thanks!

those requirements are no fun.  I'm not playing!

IMHO I don't like the Ruger, to many parts

 

Your best affordable option is Kahr for a pocket pistol. It's the pistol GLOCK should have made.

Kahr PM9?

Kahr PM9?

Yep that or the one that's a little cheaper but the same size.

 

If you want to shoot mine you're welcome.

CZ 75b compact.

+1. I have a full size 75b but have been eyeing a used compact model at the LGS. You can't go wrong with a CZ, great guns.

 

Coincidently, my permit expires on the 20th as well.

With those 3 requirements, it's hard not to like the S&W M&P9 Shield

I have a Walther CCP in stock

I have the ruger lcr 9mm. Nice little gun. I was shooting 147gr +p duty 9mm out of it. Recoil isn't too bad. If you are interested i have a compact p250 in 9mm that comes with the subcompact conversion kit. I liked that gun a lot just got a 26 for mag compatability with my duty 19. Would let it go for a decent price

I have a Diamondback DB9 in stock if you want a small cheap 9mm.

Joe doesn't sell guns or shoot them, someone text him and let him know his account was hacked.

I thought that post was a little odd.

I have a HK USP Compact with the LEM trigger in .40 with Night sights and 4 mags, 2 holsters for $600. Ammo can be added.

Selling a couple that i will really never use

Blf, You realize April fools has passed right?

 

I don't curently have a pocket pistol in the stable, but the last time I toyed with trying ones out the small sigs impressed me the most. I'm a fan of the XD series, but the xds isn't that much smaller then my XDM to warent picking up another

XDm compact 3.8 in 9mm. 3.8" barrel, it's only 4.75" high, and has 13+1 capacity.

 

The other pistol on my list is a Walther PPS. That's more of a pocket gun. It's very slim. Only 6 round capacity though.

I carried my p250 subcompact a lot off duty when i first got on. Weren't many dao 9mm sc choices back then

 

1.  Kahr PM9 or Walther CCP look interesting.  I'll see if I can shoot Old School's and if RTSP has a Walther

2.  CZ makes great pistols, but I'm not too interested in DA/SA guns in general.  

3.  Someone mentioned SIG pocket pistols... are they any good?

4.  What about 9mm CCW revolvers?  Any good ones there?

I got the Boberg XR9-S, from Tom at Oakridge. Going to RTSP this week to shoot it if anyone wants to give it a whirl.

 

 

Beretta Nano?

Walther CCP. That's what I meant!

I second the M&P Shield, however, it isn't really a pocket gun.  Another thought would be the budget-friendly Kahr CM9 or a Ruger LCR.

This thing is weird!  It feeds backwards...  I'll be there Thursday night for the IDPA training class and there Sunday for the IDPA itself...  If I have time I'd like to check it out.

Anyone ever shoot a P290RS?

I was going tonight to try it, but I have Rangers Devil's tickets in a suite. Go Devils! I'm heading there Thursday after work to try it out.

 

Advice on the Ruger LC9 from an owner of one - Don't buy it.

 

If you want to consider a Ruger product, consider the LC9S, the striker version.  I understand the trigger is much better. 

If you live in NJ with no planned escape why are you worried about concealability?

 

I made that mistake a few years ago. Got a Sit p238. Hated the gun, hated the round, sold it. Kicked like a mule. I can't imagine women carrying something like that.

 

In 357 you should consider a Ruger SP 101. Fantastic gun, but just 5 rounds. I know, you plan on getting into a bunch of gunfights and that's not enough capacity. Also shoots .38 specials which is a nice round.

 

Or if you'd like to save money on the gun and would ***possibly*** consider a new caliber, buy a Makarov or related gun in the 9x18 caliber. If you look you can get one that's practically new for $300-500. They are heavy guns however. Ammo is cheap. They are 100% error-free, fun to shoot, and in my hands amazingly accurate.

That's exactly the reason why I have no interest in buying a single stack/pocket pistol. What's the use when living in NJ?
