I have stayed at that hampton a time or two, I used to cover Vanderbilt before they took TN from me. Used to be a good restaurant almost right across broadway.

My P239 in 357 Sig isn't exactly a Compact, but it is a shooter for sure


Bet it's a handful, the 357 Sig is a hot little round for sure.
I've had a P239 in .357 Sig. It was my CCW for a short while back in the 1990s. I determined to master the transition from first to subsequent trigger pulls (traditional double action auto), but eventually gave up. I found that I always needed a warm up period to make that transition with the same point of impact. In a gunfight, you don't get a warm up. Your mileage may, of course, vary.

Never fired the 357S in a 239, have to believe the little 9 to be much more manageable, I really liked mine, but, have always sucked at firing anything double action, guess that's why I love 1911's.

RW - that seems to be the issue for many using DA/SA.
Likely more so than a straight SA or DA.

Even Hickok45 - though he does decent w it - and most others. In fairness, he's likely burned 5 or 6 digits of ammo, or more. Yet seems to use Glock as his Go to.

gee Bob, that's a heck of a blow.

your comment about "playing the cards you're dealt" is altogether true--at times it's the 3 foot monkey wrench...

good to know you're traveling with a rig.

sure hope all turns out well for you.


all learning is like a funnel:
however, contrary to popular thought, one begins with the the narrow end.
the more you progress, the more it expands into greater discovery--and the less of an audience you will have...

OP


If I was forced to carry a single stack 9mm, I would give serious consideration the the S&W 3913.

It is a rather under rated handgun (in my opinion).

Glock 43

Easy to conceal and Glock reliable.
