Thread: Sold my G26, too big to carry, considering "mouse" guns

Quote: I like my Springfield EMP- slightly larger than that sig, but carries 4 more rounds (9+1) of 9mm..... ...it's a bit large for pocket carry.... but it is flat (it's a 1911!), so it carries IWB pretty well. Yeah I looked at it on their website, wish it was .45 though. I'll hold on to the little guy, next gun will be another single stack I can carry.

The Glock is a little thicker. Otherwise about the same. I carry my G26 or a G19 in the same position, Appendix IWB. Sometimes even a G17 there.

Quote: I thought a .380 was considered a 9mm short? I mean, did I make a bad decision on which gun to carry? I figured .380 would be sufficient enough for personal defense, did I go in the wrong direction? For the record too, when I carry the P238, I carry gold dot's. .380 is also called 9mm short; the bullet diameter is the same (.355"), but it is not a derivative or version of 9x19 (also known as 9mm Luger or 9mm Parabellum)....

*sigh* The caliber wars have claimed another victim without a shot being fired.

Quote: For me in a pocket carry it had to be light and small which is why the LCP worked for me. I know the kahrs are small too but to me there just to heavy for the pocket IMO. See, I think you make a point that a lot of people seem to be missing. Sure, there are more than a few handguns out there that are superior to the LCP and its ilk in terms of controllability, firepower, general ergonomics, etc., but how suitable are they for practical...

Sandman-Grats on the purchase! i think im the only one who noticed it since no one reads whats said between the first and last post.Except jontz,he hit reply before i was done typing BTW i suggested the P238,its a great gun. Ive become rather familiar with mine also,its almost exact copy of a series 80 1911 inside the slide,so treat it as one. I carry mine in my back pocket in a Nemisis holster cocked and locked with Speer Gold dots,Corbon...

I have an MP 340 as well as the LCP and there is no comparison on which one is easier to carry. For me in a pocket carry it had to be light and small which is why the LCP worked for me. I know the kahrs are small too but to me there just to heavy for the pocket IMO. As for the tests and reviews and so on. Tests only tell you so much lets be realistic and look at the number of times someone shoots an attacker yet the attacker continues on with...

Try the EMP 40!

I have a SEECAMP in 32. Finding one in 380 is expensive to buy and to feed .It is my EDC. I LIKE THE FEEL OF STEEL.

Makarov?
