I like the looks of that EMP. Especially the one with the silver frame and dark slide. To be honest, I’m not sure I knew these existed. Thanks for your thoughts.

I might give that a try. I’ve got digital calipers somewhere so I can determine the height and diameter of the current screws. Thank you.

It amazes me that some of the optics cost more than the gun. It’s kinda nuts. Oh, and by the way, I’ve had to remove many splinters from my rear end because of poor life choices.

Springfield makes a good firearm. My only issue with the Prodigy is that the optic keeps coming loose because there is so little room between the slide and the extractor that you must use very short screws as slightly longer screws will hamper the extractor and the gun won’t cycle. I’m going...

You’ve certainly had a childhood with more than your share of hardship. That is something I’d never wish on a child. Thank you for sharing. Best, Tony

I learn a lot by soliciting the opinions of others. Honestly, I didn’t know Sig had that model. I’m built like an ogre so I’m sure with more experience carrying I’ll be able to hide a larger firearm. Sometimes the options seem endless. Thank you for lending your knowledge.

If I was wealthy and collected, I'd be interested in acquiring unique pistols. When I started feeling older and had grandchildren around I decided to get a pistol to protect them and me. Well, I enjoyed the first one so much I got a second. My wife asked how many pistols am I was going to buy...

With time and training I hope to find myself comfortable carrying and a pistol no matter the capacity. Well maybe not a derringer.

You make perfect sense. If I can’t land the first couple shots capacity is a moot point as I’ve likely put my family and myself in a position where my lack of preparation might be disastrous. I go to the range almost every week but admittedly I do need to engage in repetition with my carry gun...

The legalities of personal protection is something I need to familiarize myself with if I’m going to carry. I’ll do some research or find some nearby classes to attend. I’ll make myself smarter. The human response to a loud noise is also something to understand. I’m sort of in my infancy with...

I can wrap my head around that.

I certainly hope that in the event of an emergency situation I would be able to neutralize the threat. And if the report of the gun distracts the assailant, all the better. I’m definitely training to be the best protector I can be. Regards.

I’ve seen that movie but my recollection just isn’t there. Geez I’m getting old.

To me comfort is an important consideration. If it’s uncomfortable you won’t carry it and then find yourself exposed. That said, training and practice are equally important. What good is a pistol you can’t shoot? Thank you for your perspective.

I appreciate all the thoughts and opinions here. My daughter in law’s father carries a revolver. And a friend of mine has a S&W. Right now I’m on the capacity gravy train. There’s a part of me that thinks the louder the gun the more intimidating it might be to a would be attacker. I know if...

I’ll look at the XD too. Best.

Ha! I’m glad I didn’t run out and buy one. I once told someone my competition gun was the Beretta Bobcat. Do they have bobcats in Italy? Apparently my sense of humor needs polishing because the comment wasn’t well received. Thanks again for contributing. I learn a lot from other people’s...

Thanks all for lending your thoughts. When I was younger I shot a few pistols, rifles (for hunting) and shotguns. I’ve been shooting every week for a year (except for periods in the summer when I was backed up with work around the house). I fully intend on practicing with my EDC and...

I’ve taken to holding back on a full magazine as well. As it was pointed out above, you’ll run out of time before you run out of ammo. It makes me feel more protected to carry an extra mag on me, or near me in the pickup. I hadn’t considered the Reflex. I’ll check it out. Thank you.

I promise, no sissy played pistols. I’ve seen a fair number of movies but don’t recall the scene above. Best.
