4DAIVI PAI2K5 Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Thinking either the Diamondback DB 9mm or the Ruger LC9. Anyone have either? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidgetTodd Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 I don't like the whole must carry a small gun thing. If you're gonna carry carry a gun. G19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 I don't like the whole must carry a small gun thing. If you're gonna carry carry a gun. G19Then why are you carrying such a small gun? All kidding aside, I agree. If you are going to carry a weapon then carry a weapon. The difference in comfort is minimal. But the difference in firepower and rounds delivered is pretty substantial. With 7 + 1 in that Ruger you better hope there is at most 2 bad guys and that you are a very good shot under extreme pressure. Your Glock and my XD have more than twice as many rounds, glad I have them.The question, imho opinion, should be: What kind of holster do I need for this big ass gun I am going to carry.

redkow97 Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 I believe speedytriple carries an LC9. I know he has one, just not 100% sure that is his carry weapon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Yep I have a lc9. It is one of my carry guns and shares time with my xdsc as my primary carry gun. It is much easier to conceal then the xd is. Shoots pretty accurate for a subcompact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4DAIVI PAI2K5 Posted January 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Ill be carrying my CZ or G23 most of the time. But there are times esp. during the summer a smaller gun would be nice. Thats why I was looking at these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 That why I got mine. The xd pulls winter carry duty. And the lc9 will be used in summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawi kid Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Small guns are for the convience of dripping it in the pocket and going. The problem is IRS very easy to foul a draw from the pocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is IRS very easy to foul a draw from the pocket.Hence the popularity of today's internal hammer (not hammerless as they are called) revolvers. You can shoot from your pocket if needed. Try that with a semi auto. Potential powder burn is still better than death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawi kid Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Yep. And if you are transitioning from condition yellow to orange its less obvious to slip your hand inti your pocket than put it on your hip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your Glock and my XD have more than twice as many rounds, glad I have them.The question, imho opinion, should be: What kind of holster do I need for this big ass gun I am going to carry.The truth of it is we will not be gunning down whole gangs. A one on one encounter is still the most common incident encountered by legally armed citizens. Everybody knows the FBI study of 3/3/3? 3 shots in 3 seconds at 3 feet. So is a bigger gun going to save you? No prolly not. The first rule of gun fighting is having a gun right? Comfort may be the last thing considered when fitting a soul to a firearm but comfort is what keeps you carrying when the newness of it has worn off. What is going to save you is training and readiness and carrying.Also for small gun haters..380 and 9mm are ballisticly identical the first 20 feet fired from the same length barrel. So yeah. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least AFTER the first shot. I can see it getting potentially jambed after first round, but would think it would at least fire the first shot.

C-bus Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 I'm still trying to get used to carrying G19. Once I find that magic holster, maybe... I may invest in a real holster soon.... I still end up going with the 642. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
