Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Conceal Carry Question

Of the three guns I carry CCW on a regular basis, I have a minimum of 18 rounds total and a maximum of 22 available. Two have two reloads to get there and one has one reload.

As for that �fighting your way to a rifle� concept, I think it is BS in a CCW scenario. Fight or run. Thinking you can�t win without going back and getting the rifle means you already lost the mind game, so go away and don't come back with your rifle. Note that "you" is a collective you, and not aimed at DD.

Yup, Gary.

I was watch a video by Hickok45 comparing the Luger 9MM against the 1911. Both guns he had were war guns in that both had been used war the Luger in WWI and the 1911 in WWII. He said the first thing he noticed was that the Luger was a real work of art. Even after all these years the Luger was tight and shot well. But he said the Luger probably would not work in the trenches of WWI or the fields of WWII as well as the 1911. The Luger was designed for officers as a badge of authority and never meant to be a work horse for the common soldier. Whereas the 1911 was a real work horse issued to everybody and their brother to be used as a true combat arm for officers and enlisted personal alike for close quarter combat.

That's the way I look at carrying a pistol. Like in the military I'm support personnel behind the lines not likely to see combat but in case of enemy infiltration I have something for close quarter combat, the pistol. However, if I know I'm going into combat I want a rifle, shotgun, or machine pistol whatever is appropriate for the job.

I bought one of the Sig 938s a month ago, used, it came with the Crimson Trace, three mags and a holster. The trigger was awful, to the point where I could just barely stay on the paper at 25 feet. I've been working on wearing the trigger in to loosen the pull and remove some of the grit and grinding.
Currently I'm working on wearing the action in with 115 grain hard ball FMJs. I've put 450 rounds thru it at the range and shoot at the knots in the paneling in the TV room. (Yes, I know no mag, no ammo, in the room.)
Have you worked with your handgun to find which bullet weight, 115 or 124, or brand od ammo works best for you?
I was over in Gun Broker looking for the 7 round mag and found a fellow whose is doing a two for deal, at what appears to be a reasonable price, $80.00 per two.
