Summer carry option

[Smarms]

Anyone have any suggestions for a subcompact or pocket pistol for the summer?

 

[Hoosier8]

Ruger LCP or P3AT would be my suggestion.

I carry in the summer what I carry in the winter.

FS M&P 9mm and/or a J-frame.

Here's a suggestion: Get your 50 QUALITY posts and head down to the classifieds to see what you can try out and resell. That's what we're all after here, right?

My favorite pocket gun is a Sig P238. It's small and easy to carry, yet has full size sights and is easy and fun to shoot. Fun to shoot is important to me since I tend to not shoot guns I don't like as much as I do the ones I do like. That means the P238 gets shot more than it would if it were a pain to shoot. It also has a manual safety which is important to me in a pocket gun.

Dude, SLOW DOWN! Enjoy the forums, savor the experience. Want to race to the classifieds, go to ArmsList or Hillbilly Topics. lol

Ruger lcp, stick it in your pocket & go. I do use a small mikes holster to protect the trigger even though it has a long trigger pull, but no safety.

WTF? He asked for opinions on a summer carry piece, not how to get around the 50 post rule. Give him a break!

To the OP - I just bought a Diamondback DB9. Size and weight of a .380 with the stopping power of a 9mm. Great lil pocket gun.

I agree with this for all the same reasons. I do however carry my LCP at times as well, but it is nowhere near as pleasant to shoot as the P238. If cost is an issue, you will spend about $250-350 more for a P238 than a LCP. I also like my little 5 shot .357. It is not quite as easy to conceal. Hopefully by Saturday I will be able to give my opinion on the Kahr CM9.
Hope you find what you are looking for.

Whatever YOUR comfortable with. Everyone has opinions, but your the one carrying.

You are right, but he started the thread because he wanted suggestions. Isn't that what INGO is all about.

 

[Sniper 79]

I dig the Kahr CW 45

You missed the several other threads one liner/WTB threads the OP made around the same time. Most have since been deleted.

Glock-26 or Glock-27

FWIW, before I made that post, I did search his old threads and found nothing that would warrant that response. Didn't realize some had been deleted. Thanks for the explanation.

Become a site sponsor it is cheap and worth not hearing about you are just here for classifieds. Although I did use them once.

 

[mpholic]

I carry a Kahr PM9 in the summer. I carry PDX rounds in it.

I carry in the summer what I carry in the winter. ...

^^^ This. FWIW, it seems to be about a 50/50 split here on INGO with respect to people who change their carry gun with the season, and those who don't. [1]

I don't. The probability of needing a defensive handgun doesn't go down just because it's summer. If anything, the risk goes UP a bit [2].
