I got in on this late and didnt read through all the other posts lol. I dont conceal carry yet since I havent gone for my class and permit yet. But when I do I already have what I'll be carrying.
Ruger SR9 Compact. Its 1/2" shorter barrel and 1" shorter grip (with 10 rd mag) then the standard SR9. Loaded with Hydra Shock rounds.
For home defense and open carry while camping I have a Ruger KP944 .40 cal loaded with Hydra Shock rounds.
If I didnt already have the 944 I would get a Ruger SR40 which they just came out with. A .40 cal version of the full size SR9. The SR9c has a bit more snap then the 944 but its more controllable and much lighter and easier to conceal.
I havent become a fan of the pocket pistols yet. I've fired Mikes (protetype) LCP and it hurts my hand. Maybe one day I'll get one anyway. As a side note, the LCP is the exact same size and shape as the Kel-Tec P-3AT. I would rather have the Ruger.
My other toys
Ruger 10/22 - many internal mods
Remington 572 pump action .22
Ruger Single Six .22 LR/WMR
Western Field (Marlin) bolt action 12 gauge shotty
I'm on the hunt for more Rugers. I still want a new model (580 series) Mini-14, a Mini-30, PC9 (9mm) rifle, and PC4 (.40 cal) rifle.
