Glock 29s a pocket gun you wear some baggy ass jeans don't you boy...

OK.

Glock 29 sounds awesome for pocket carry

Sometimes violating a law that prohibits concealed carry is easier than resurrecting from the dead.

I'm not a pro gunslinger, the wisdom is sound in the OP.

My possibly misguided belief is something is better than nothing and if it isn't *comfortable* I don't follow through and carry anything on my person. While nothing I've tried goes unnoticed from a comfort standpoint I've recently been toting a Hellcat Pro, appendix. Not full size, but, *for me* large enough that I am confident as I'm going to be if the need should arise. 15+1 and a spare 15 rounder is ok by me - going to pick up a 17 rounder here when I see one on the shelf, should be more better.

All that to say there is always a compromise somewhere, except for the fact that Wrapids is a twat. On that there can be no compromise.

If the folks in my CHL class are any indicator I’m guessing most folks should not be engaging an active shooter at the wood grill buffet on Saturday night.
Told my wife if we’re ever out and see any of the idiots in that class we’re leaving the location abruptly.


One idiot shot into the floor after the idiot leading the class thought it would be a great idea to do some draw and shoot drills with folks who’d never shot a gun before.

Good times.

#collateraldamage.

Oh wow 😵

Grip frames on the G26, G27 and G29 are way too short, IMHO.

Geez. How the hell did you end up in that class?

At the time, it was required by the state and this class was local to me.

It was pretty representative of society, 90% should’ve been humanely put down.

Gotcha.

some of us understand exactly what you're saying. but then again we're not all just like you.. make sure you put on a half by the way my CCW class has been many many years ago. the ones taught on my range are not talk quite the same as just basic

26 is probably the worst choice available as a concealed carry piece other than the Hk sk size guns and subcompact 1911 offerings.
Too fat to carry and too short to shoot accurately coupled with a smaller than widely available magazine capacity.

Whut?

You'd sell cunt drugs if you were told to. As long as the money keeps coming in, right? Kunt

bet they tell Jack drugs and they both could use them

I have carried daily since around 1990.

Started with a Colt Mustang in 380 ACP.

My parents bought me a Taurus 92 for my 40th Birthday, but being a full size pistol it was a bit cumbersome, as concealed carry at that time was illegal in Texas. Due to the nature of my occupation at that time, and the places in BFE I had to frequent, it was worth the risk.

Around 2002 I started carrying a Glock 36, 45 ACP.

IIRC, I carried it for several years and put down a number of wounded deer and hogs with it.



Then I got charged by this beast. I put 7 hardball rounds in him in starting about 10 yds. out. He expired at my feet while i was clicking and empty mag.

After that it was no more Mr. Nice Guy. I went out and directly grabbed a Glock 20 SF in 10 mm. I figure sixteen friends are better than 7 or 8.

But now being an old man I have "old man's butt" and a full size pistol and a spare mag tend to expose my shortcomings.

So I compromised for a bit and started carrying a Glock 43 in town.

Glocks are butt ugly, but I've yet to have on malfunction.

When the Sig P365 came on the market I decided to try it as one could have a creatively easy to conceal pistola with capabiltity of 10, 12 or 16 rounds.



It turns out that I shoot it as well as a full size pistol and I"ve only had 1 failure to feed of the three Sig P365 iterations I've owned and carried. I refuse to carry a pistol where an FTF is a factor.



I have others, but these are the 4 that see the most service.

The Glock 17 with light and laser is on the nightstand each night, and accompany me at night when roaming my lease.



The Glock 43 w/ light and laser is available close at hand in case things go bump in the night.

The P 365 Tac Ops w/ red dot is carried in the day (17+1). I"m not a red dot fan at night. Night time I carry the P365, night sights and 12 round mag.

I consider myself fortunate that in +/-33 years of carry I've only had to display my weapon to diffuse the situation.

ya!

GWB

Good stuff GW. IIRC, you got that Glock 43 from me.

I too carried a Glock 36 for a long time after they first came out. Like you, I finished off several hogs with it and killed one doe and one whitetail buck with it too. Went back to carrying my LW Commander in 45 acp, for quite a while, then went with a Glock 32 in .357 Sig for the longest time.

Now the. Glock 32 is my dedicated “truck gun”. Both my Glock 17 and 19X are house guns equipped with light / laser combo’s. Mostly carry either my Sig P365 or my Springfield HellCat nowadays on my person. Both with factory 15 round mags.
Unless I’m out hunting, then it’s my Glock 20. No telling how many hogs I’ve killed with it now.
