I have had a pistol permit(= CT CCW ) for years but only carried on rare days,shoot lots for fun,plate shoots,cowboy,past IPSIC,some IDPA.
Stuff has changed in my life and although not totally crazy it is time to carry on a regular basis.
I have a colt officers which works but is heavy.
I have a S&W 686 snubby but it is kind of "fat"
I have a colt mustang which goes fine in my front pocket or back on my hip and is fairly heavy(this is an all steel gun,believe they also came in alloy)but much better than the officers model.The part that I don't like about the mustang is that I feel a .380acp is really for backup or emergency use .
If I thought the chance of a gunfight was real high I would stay home or come out with an ar or shoty.
I want to get something in 45,40 or 9 if I have to.I want flat and light.I can deal with recoil
and small grips(hands barely medium size)and don't care about sights.Only possible use is if someone gets up real close with gun or knife.(I know if this happens I have allready messed up but is about the only time I would pull a trigger on someone.
What ya got that works for you ?
Thanks and sorry for the length.
Cost is an issue but I will bend the plastic to get something I feel ok with if I have to
