For a 9mm I EDC a Kimber Solo. Its very easy to conceal and I shoot it well. That being said, I recently purchased a Glock 27 and love it. You've made a very wise decision in your willingness to be prepared to protect yourself and family. And you've made an equally wise decision in you're EDC choice. Congrats and welcome to the ranks of Sheep Dog.

+1 for the Kimber. I've loved mine for the past 4 years. Great gun.

Well I traded for a Ranch Hand in 45lc. I already don't like the sights so I'm going to order a new set. I've ran a set of 45lc snap caps through it several times and it seems to load, feed and eject perfectly. I've even got it to feed and eject while spinning it like John Wayne. (A move only preformed with snap caps. I've got no desire to put a hole in my foot or my head.) After I get the new sights I'll take it to the range and see what kind if accuracy I can get out of it. I think I'll make a shoulder scabbard for it also. If nothing else it should make a neat pack gun. Or at least keep me entertained with tinkering with it for a few years. Lol.

Anybody?

Sig P238/P938, Colt Mustang, Kimber Solo, Beretta Tomcat.

I've been thinking about getting a Rossi Ranch Hand and wanted to get some first hand opinions from people who own and have shot them. What are the pros and cons your reasons for pick the caliber you did. Thanks in advance.

I have owned and carried my solo for about four years and absolutely love it. Striker fire, single action with 1911 ergonomics. Only issue I've had is the finish on my bitone black frame is easy to scratch. I'm just waiting until I can't stand the look and get it cerakoted. Its a short slide with heavy springs and Kimber recommendes shooting 124 grain or heavier rounds. I pack mine with Hornity 147 xtp. BTW, $500 is a great price.

Good looking Rosco. Heavy enough to be a nut cracker too.

I still haven't gotten mine to the range yet but I have high hopes for the performance.

I felt the same way for years with every Glock I've shot but the G27 actually feels normal to me. I've been playing with the back straps and I think I've found the right grip ergonomics. Hopefully it'll all play out nicely at my next range visit.

In the words of Robert De Niro from Ronin "Oh, you know, it’s a tool box. I don’t care. You put the tools in for the job. That’s all."

A buddy of mine uses the G23 magazine in the G27 with an A&G mag spacer to make the grip longer but still keep the compact frame.

Thanks TNWNR and Grand Torino. I've been working on my leather skills. Its not perfect but it functions very well.

So I've finally broke down and got a Glock. I've always been a 1911 fan boy but after having numerous folks twist my ear about the reliability, I decided to purchase my first Glock a G27 gen 4. I haven't got to shoot it yet, but I did make a new holster for it.

Seems to me the two you are considering (Kimber micro vs Sig P238) are just variants of the Colt Mustang. Why not just go with the original? I've owned the Sig P238 (great gun) and the Micro Desert Eagle (also a great gun and very compact). I've also shot the bersa, khar seecamp and keltec .380's. But once I got my hands on a Colt Mustang Pocket lite, I'll never carry any other .380 again. Hands down the best .380 pistol ever made and well worth every penny I paid for it. Just my 2 cents, but if you can, shoot a colt before you pull the trigger on any other .380.
