OK, I'll bow to Al's superior knowledge on this one. I've been trying to find a 9mm small enough to really conceal. Never tried the .380 except with regular rounds and wasn't impressed.

Phil, you can play with my S&W Shield in a few few weeks.  I sold my G27 for the shield and haven't looked back, although that Sig does look pretty sweet.
Now if the would just make it DA/SA...

Currently 3 private sellers trying to sell the P365. Two want $700 and one wants $720 for it. Free market but I hope they can't sell them

Too big for EDC (for me, anyway), but the longer barrel would be nice. You were a shoulder holster guy -- it works for that....

I like my XD-S in the 4.0.  It works for me being left handed with an ambidextrous mag release.  I do like the G43, and it shot really well. 

I hope nobody pays $700 for the 365, all they need to do is wait and they can order one for $200 less!

So many options!

Ruger LC9s, hands down. I've carried mine on the beach in swimming trunks and a tshirt without even a belt.

In addition to a Ruger LCP  .380  I have a Ruger LC9s pro in 9mm.  It is larger than the LCP but depending on what I am wearing it is my go-to gun. I really love the trigger.  My .380 is not the II model and trigger is real stiff. Has anyone had both and how does the II compare to the original trigger.

Get the LCP II.  The trigger is hands down one of the best out of box pocket gun triggers (Kahr may have it beat but it is close). The original LCP trigger is what always kept me from getting the LCP.  For a $300 gun, you cannot beat the LCP II.

Conceding a screwed-up position, I am amused with any discussion of which weapon has the best stopping power or is the most comfortable to conceal, by folks that most likely have no first-hand evidence or support (luckily never had to pull the trigger or hopefully never will). 

So, from this 17-18April conversation I was forced to grudgingly recall the numbers.  We have more guns and approximately 80% of us believe in angels, and we might be a tad too paranoid.  Are we the greatest of the great?

What did you do with that shotgun with the sights off Hiner? Did you send it back?

No, I put a TruGlo Multireticle sight on it and now have a good pattern with the new combination 5,6, and 7 loads, out to ~ 40 yards. 

Missed a turkey on Sat.  – came down with  a bad case of turkey fever – trembling like a 15 year old boy on his first date – plus I really miscalculated the distance – added to the surprise that I actually called the peckerwood close – learning experience.

It's a fine pistol. I prefer the mid-sized ones like the 19 or 23 for EDC, though. I've toted a G23 every day for years, and love it. I have no idea why everybody thinks a pistol has to be a little tiny thing the size of a soda cracker to comfortably CC? Half of those little things I couldn't get enough grip on to hit the broad side of a barn.

I hope when we are sitting around the campfire you use some of these same arguments.  There are so many holes in these arguments/propaganda that it is like watching the 1919 World Series.

Also, can someone be non violently killed with a gun?

Freedom is scary to sheep people. I'd much rather be stabbed or acid-washed in London.
