Slow Hand I have a Grandson 40. And a Great-Great Grandson that's 6 months.

Fat thumbs on my part I had a 3" 640 Centenia..... (reply)

I think you safe I admire that Folly gun, I do.

My go to is a model 10 with 2" barrel and round butt (reply)

I love that gun but I often cheat with a Glock 26 or 30SF. I convince myself that arthritis makes the double action less suitable so I carry the soul-less Glock for a while then I get a need for the old round gun on my side again. I have a 640 also and I love those centenials but there's just something extra special about a K frame snub.

That is purty, adjustable sights and all... (reply)

I used to carry a 3" 36 for 2 reasons, it was all I had and all I could get. Have vacillated twixt this and that since becoming a financial success (i.e. convincing the kids to get out on their own and paying off all the associated debt) but have yet to get the urge to tote one of those little plastic .380s. Just can't love 'em. However, if that was all that I had and all that I could get...

Slow Hand, I think anybody of age fifty or over has been there done that.

You mean you don't carry all three?!? (reply)

Well said Bob Hatfield. I haven't forsaken my J frames, but (reply)

Rob Leahy — Sun, 16 Feb 2014 16:05:41 +0000

there are times when my XDs or LCP goes along with me. What I appreciate about the LCP is it is the no excuse not to carry gun. personally, I feel that way about the J...but time has taught me many folks just won't bother to try and hide them on their persons...I miss my 3" 649...THAt gun shot like a laser...traded it for a 629...

Naw - the dark side is when I carry my Sith M&P Compact (reply)

Bob Hatfield — Sun, 16 Feb 2014 11:33:03 +0000

The last few days I've been contemplating laying down the LCP for my 442. For some reason I feel more confident with the Smith. Not that I doubt those Winchester high dollar HPs that are in the LCP, but the LCP still feels like a toy. Not putting it away either, just use either at different times.

I've shot both and I agree with you mostly. For some people the p2at can be carried in situations where the J-frame could not be. But the J-frame is easier to shoot.

Same here, Jared... (reply)

My LCP sits on top of my dresser almost all the time...my XD-S 45 is the go to any more.

Matt

I still like my LCP but don't carry it all that much anymore (reply)

Jared — Sun, 16 Feb 2014 01:51:08 +0000

Lately I have really fallen for my XDs 45. But there is always a j frame close by. I was out in the pasture off and on all day today and a 442 was in my pocket loaded with Keith hollow points.

"Sith Airweight 38" (reply)

Ah the dark side. ;)

stonewalrus — Sun, 16 Feb 2014 00:52:50 +0000

I started with a Taurus 85, went through a couple of compact autos, a Keltec, an LCP and then back to my roots - Sith Airweight 38. Like you I can hit much better with it. I still carry the LCP some depending on the pockets of the pants I am wearing at the time but my near constant companion is the Airweight.

I've also tried several small 380's, old stuff and new models as well. The BDA 380 is the only one I can shoot reasonably good but larger guns are much better. I've tried the "J" frame type and can't do with it either. Right now the best relatively small one for me is the XD9C. My conclusion is to use what works for you; after all, effective use is what counts. Enjoy that J....I'm sure you are welcome back.
