New Carry Gun - Kinda

[KahrMan]

So I switched to a Glock 48 a while ago.  I like the slim frame and with the Shield Arms mags you can carry 15+1. 

Another TGO member had a G48 MOS for sale and I ended up doing a trade with him.  I just picked up a Holosun 407 and got it mounted.

With the 407 mounted it would almost fit but not quite my current IWB kydex holster.  Got the dremel out and did a little work to the kydex and now my holster hold both of my G48's.

I need to get some range time shooting with the holosun.  Once I get accustomed to shooting with the rds it will become my new carry gun.

That looks great. Been wanting to do that to one of my G48s and just haven't done it.

I keep trying to convince myself that I want a G48.  I think if I didn't have so many G19-sized guns, I'd probably be more inclined to do it.

They look pretty awesome and well-rounded for EDC.

IMO, lots better choices out there. Sig 365, 938. H&K VP9SK. SA 911. Lots more I can't think of just now.

No, I'm not a Glock guy.

But not Glocks, just red dot optics

I've been thinking about getting a 48 but I love my 43x. I bought the 43x MOS when it came out.

Last year I went to rds on three of my handguns (four actually but sold one). 

On the Sig P320 it makes a absolutely fantastic gun for steel.

On my lowly S&W Victory it is also a boon at the range.

On my Hellcat it looks great, but haven't carried it much. 

Have to practice a lot to get used to a rds drawn from a holster, as in a defensive situation.  I have noticed that my tendency with a red dot out of the holster is to aim a bit low out of the holster.  It takes a conscious effort to retrain my mind to "seemingly" push the muzzle up a bit when presenting the firearm.  It feels different and don't think it is just me.  At the range they are just great and am absolutely sold on them.

Guess if I keep practicing I will feel more comfortable with one on a edc,

Anyway, practice makes..."somewhat competent" in my case.

@KahrMan @Glockman isn't taken so it's never too late to change your name over.

Trying to hold off on the 48 but I think it will fit well with the 19X and 17.

In it's class, nothing compares to it. They work.

I have carried a G43x for almost 2 years. I’m surprised with it’s accuracy,so much in fact I figured a 48 would be even better.After I bought one I noticed no discernible reduction in recoil or increase in accuracy compared to the 43x.Both are great platforms.
