That's the holster you use when running?

Hey Dave, a Kahr PM9 with pinky clip and an extra 6 round clip, I load it with Speer 124gr. GD +P

Just looked at my G19 & G21.. The size is nearly the same..

If you think a Ranger and F150 are nearly the same size your more screwed up than I thought!

I just wanted to comment on this;

While I do advocate carrying a high capacity semi auto for many reasons, equipment is generally secondary. If a person is at a level of unconscious competence with a revolver, and is extremely proficient with it, versus a modern hi cap semi auto, then the revolver may be their best bet.

It has a bunch of drawbacks, but until a person is intimately familiar with their semi auto, with a good amount of trigger/training time, it may be best to roll with what you know, and carry your K or N frame .38/357, 44 special, 45 colt or whatever.

There is simply not a "one size fits all" and being dogmatic about certain things does not lend to learning new skill sets.

After reading your first post in this thread I decided I ought to try carrying my Smith in 40 cal instead of my normally carried Titantium Tracker in 41 mag. But this post reminded me of the time I was considering whether to pull a pistol on a couple of drunks who were threatening me. All I had available was a 1911 size Smith in 9mm. It had just been given to me by my FIL and I had only shot a couple magazines thru it. I remembered it had a safety and a de cocker, but couldn't remember the location of them.

I elected not to employ it and got banged up pretty good in the ensuing brawl. My 686 357 mag was back in my motel room and there is no doubt In my mind I would have pulled it if it had been available. I would have been justified under the circumstances but I'm probably better off that I didn't have it.

I carry the Tracker constantly and shoot it a lot with my reduced loads..... 215 cast at 1050 fps. Arthritis in my right hand makes full power loads too uncomfortable but when I finish practice I load it with factory rounds for everyday carry.

Thanks for the info from one who knows what he is talking about and after digesting it all, I guess I'll stick with the Taurus for carrying.

Paladin was hitting a sixteen inch rectangle at 160 yards with mine with regularity at Armijo Springs a couple three years ago.

I turned down his bid to buy it but have willed it to him.

It is right now, isn't it? You sure are a knowitall, for an office jockey.

According to at least one dumbphuck, it's not winter in Minnesota right now.
