speedytriple Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 So I took a trip to fin feather fur today to see what compact 9mm single stacks they had. Looked at the sig p290, the kahr cw9, the ruger lc9, the taurus 709 slim, and a 1911 in 9mm. The 1911 was out of my price range, and super heavy. The p 290 was also pricey at $600 and the trigger SUCKS! No thanks. The kahr, the ruger, and the 709 were left. Didn't like the 709 triger to much, also the grip didn't feel to good in my hand. Liked the kahr but liked the ruger better. Ended up putting one on lay away $339. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-bus Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Nice work! Let us know how it does. I was at the Ashland location at around 9:30 this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted November 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Anyone else own one? Starting to look for holster options. Pocket carry is not out, but it is a tad bigger then the 380 it replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblosser Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Crossbreed, Kholster, Comptac, Raven.I have one Crossbreed, two Kholsters. Basically the same, but the K's leather is just a hair thicker.The K is also $20 less than the CB.8mm Dale has an LC9 with a CB in his shop - if you happen to come down here I'd imagine he'd let you have a look-see.

speedytriple Posted November 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 I saw that. But the drive down and back would eat up any savings I would have gotten on the price of the gun and its a right hand holster which does me no good since I am left handed. I already got mine from fin new for $339. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 I just got a used one. That's a good price. I pocket carry it, without any problems, though with the grip extension, it prints some.It wouldn't work well in tight jeans.I still carry the .38 mostly until I get some more practice time in. Gonna take a while to get used to that extremely long trigger pull. Nice gun, but shot it side by side with a PF-9 and like its trigger a little better. More predictable.

C-bus Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 That kimber solo intrigues me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblosser Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 I looked at the LC9 at Fin' date=' in Ashland. I thought it was rather large for a single-stack 9mm. My double-stack KelTec 9mm was smaller, if I recall. I could be misremembering, though.[/quote']The double stack is a bit longer, same height, and slightly thinner. It's thinner than their own single stack, at least according to the website. Doesn't make sense.That kimber solo intrigues me.Me too, but the price doesn't. Thing's as thick as my LCR .357 revolver.

Tpoppa Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 I am pretty happy with pt709 slim with a crossbreed. It's almost invisible with only shorts and a t-shirt. The 709 is surpisingly accurate for such a small 9.The DB9 looks interesting, but I am not yet convinced of their quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted November 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 The guy at fin said the solo is getting bad reviews. Said he's been hearing issues with feeding and jamming up? Looked at a single stack keltec about the same size as the lc9. Its a hair smaller then the kahr cw9. And thinner then the p290. They don't have the berreta nano in yet but it is priced $100+ over the ruger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE GRUNDISH Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 I shot the LC9 and overall def good gun....my only complaint is the LONG trigger pull....I wonder if it can be modified ...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
