A nice conversation piece no doubt, but hardly the "ultimate self defense pistol."

 

If it's printing, it ain't concealed.
(especially in Texas)

I think you meant you can "carry" a glock in a speedo.

I would hazard a guess that it ain't printing on the fabric....

 

The requirement in Texas is that is has to be concealed to the point that a "reasonable person" would not be able tell what it is. Honestly, how many reasonable people do you know who are going to look at ME in a SPEEDO long enough to determine if that "bulge" is a Glock 22 or something else?? HUH??

Trust me, it can be done. If you don't believe me I'll post a picture.

 

NOOOOO!!!!!! PLEASE!!!! No Pictures. AAGH!!!

 

What's a space mag??? Is that one of those things about Star Wars???

i like the 454 casul fits easily in most back packs. haha . i just bought a taurus 24/7 40.cal and i love it .

 

So, do you get compliments from the girls on "The big gun in your pants"?

Or is it more along the lines of "Is that a pistol in your pants, or are you just happy to see me"?

 

i would be willing to bet he gets alot of attention from all those friendly guys from austin. just dont unload it on them hows your longhorns gonna do this year hoss?

I carry a Glock 23 .40 with nothing but JHP in it. Sometime (in colder weather) I'll carry my 1911 .45 or Beretta M9 under a jacket or sweatshirt.

 

I bought a Springfield XD-45 for my primary carry pistol. Have shot it a bunch and love it!! Mine has the 4" barrel and I have seen the 3" compacts and if I had to conceal completely I would go with one of those, but since I don't have to conceal at all in TN, I won't.

I have heard a lot of good things about the Taurus line. I have a friend who have had several and liked them all, price is good too!! I have another friend who bought a Sig P229 I believe was the model and it was a very nice pistol, but heavier than mine as was my friends .40 cal taurus. At least they felt heavier to me...

 

I have the XD-40 and I love it except that I am in the process of getting a CCW and I am just not quite fat enough to hid that beast. I would love to trade to a xd compact. Maybe soon.

 

For personal protection stick to .40 or .45 cal. The glock often gets degraded but has an excellent reputation for reliability. Its relatively snag free and easy to get into action, and much to my dismay, I shoot it very well so it became my weapon of choice merely because I shoot it better than anything else in draw/point/fire practice. Personally I wanted to carry my S&W 629 44 mag 3" but I shoot the Glock better..way better. Try as many options as you can at an indoor range, they may even let you try for free if you agree to purchase from their pro shop when you make your decision. My tests were with the SIG, Glock, HK and Beretta .40 cals and the Colt Combat Commander in .45. I value my life more than owning a 'sexy' gun so I choose to carry the one I shot the best. I own a few of the others but the Glock is it hands down for me. Good luck and please consider joining the NRA before our gov't disarms us all! Kurt

 

I had to shorten that for you and yeah, you read my mind again .
