that's a pretty sweet piece. though if i was gonna get something like that/a semi it'd be a 9, ammo cost/availability and recoil are big factors for me

They do make it in a 9mm. Another option is get a 2011. Which is a 9mm 1911 essentially. Places here are finally starting to get them in store.

that's a ridiculously reasonable price. kinda kicking myself for spending so damn much on a piece... at least it's cool, i guess :(

so hey, guys, trying to think of a good "desk gun". concealed carry just doesn't happen in MD, so even if it's a big frame piece it's OK. i'm very partial to stainless DA 357s, though if someone has a better suggestion i'm all ears.

ideal piece:

You on MDshooters?

.40 really isn't that much more expensive than 9mm, and when 9mm was impossible to find .40 was plentiful.

The recoil is fine too. I have a Glock 23 and have no problems managing recoil.

yep, very inactive though.


good suggestions everyone, i'll try a few out when i go to the range next, thanks

Personally I like .40 because it has more stopping power (I do a lot of hog hunting, and that's usually my sidearm, although I've never had issues with the 9 as a sidearm), it's just as easy to find, still cheap, and whenever there's an ammo scare it doesn't go out the window quite like 9 and .45

I actually ditched my .40 in favor of the 9mm. I never liked how snappy it was, and after years of trying I just never could do as well with it as a 9mm. I shoot .45 great as well, so it's not just a matter of recoil.

Different strokes....

Different platform? There is a lot to be said about for the design of the firearm. Shooting a .40 on say a 92T like mine 'could' be different than shooting it in an M&P40. I would say the 92T shoots nicer than the P89, id assume that's because the 92T is actually a physically larger/heavy gun.

Out in Arizona for the weekend. Got a lot of shooting in. 3 boxes of .45, a brick of .22lr, lots of 30-30/30-90. Had a great time Arizona is great hah.

Where'd you find a brick of .22lr? I can't find a box, much less a brick.

[myinfernalbmw]

Actively pursue it online. Between black friday and Christmas I got several thousand rounds of 22lr. Just have to be diligent.

Bass Pro and Palmetto had bulk boxes for very reasonable prices.

Thinking about picking up a double stack CC 9mm. I have been carrying my lc9 when my clothing won't cover the print of a full size or the revolver, but I would like a little more capacity than the 7+1 the lc9 offers.

Suggestions, go.

[jalopi]

double up on the lc9 and dual wield like a boss, because accuracy is overrated :D

on a more serious note, are you looking for something to wear when you've got heavier/more concealing clothing on? or are we still talking about light clothing?

[Exodus_2pt0]

Light clothing. I conceal a g17 when I have heavier clothes on.

I'm thinking something similar to the xdsc, but I don't really like Xds.

The lc9 dissapears under a T-shirt 100%. Just looking for something to bridge the gap between it and the sp101. Plus, excuse to buy another pistol.

[myinfernalbmw]

No real complaints about my G27. I traded it off for my first AR and plan on getting a Gen4 G26 at some point. That is of course unless Glock finally drops a single stack 9mm at SHOT this week.
