Summer Carry Suggestions

[daddyo]

Don't let anyone convince you that what works for them will work for you. Hold as many as you can, shoot as many as you can, then decide which one works best for YOU.

One size does not fit all.

I just got a Kahr CM9. It is a great little pistol.

I'm very pleased with the Lc9 and LCP pistol's. The LCR in 38 Special is really beginning to catch my eye as well. If the trigger pull on the Lc9 is bugging you there is an aftermarket kit avaiable for it now. Take your time and try to shoot as many of the gun's that like as possible so that you'll be happy with your purchase.

Don't forget the Kahr P380 , tiny .......

Thanks for the tip on the aftermarket trigger and hammer kit, looks like the fix for what I didn't like about the LC9. I agree, try as many guns as possible before you buy, don't do like I did and buy every pistol only to find out there is something that ain't perfect, That is until the PM9

I agree - I have a P380 and a PM45 and love both of them. P380 goes in a pocket when I can't carry anything else.

Hi,

Sig is supposed to be releasing their new 9mm P938 soon. It is almost identical in weight and size to thier P238.

If it handles anywhere near as good as their P238, it should be a great 9mm pocket carry. Although, I am sure it will be on the upper end price-wise.

My Summer Carry is either my Sig P238 380 or my Kahr PM9 9mm. I use Hornady Critical Defense in both

Alright guys, just ordered a Kahr CM9, found an AHMAZING deal online that no where locally could come close to. Went and felt the gun and the trigger really really great. Thanks for the tips!

Great choice--carried mine all last summer under just a T-shirt and in shorts.

[Guest steve24]

Great choice! I've had mine for a few months now and I love it!

You are going to enjoy that Kahr, I summer carry my pm9 also then during the colder weather my hk p2000sk is on duty.

[Fourtyfive]

Got one too , love it !

So I'm looking for a new summer carry gun. I've got a Glock 26 that I carry in a White Hat holster. I'm wanting something that's a little smaller and could be carried IWB when I'm wearing shorts and a t shirt. I'd like to stick to 9mm, could potentially do a wheel gun.

As long as you wear a good belt, look at getting a MIC holster. I carry my G26 all summer with shorts and a T-Shirt. 9mm is my minimum caliber. This thing is so easy to carry why compromise?

Though I did find that using the +2 baseplate helped keep it in place better, plus give your 2 more rounds.

Sometimes I just through it in a pocket (like a cargo or a nice big front pocket) with the MIC holster no chance of an AD. I just practiced (unloaded of course) pulling it, ripping the MIC from the gun and firing with the holster hanging in my support hand.

[dbla]

Yeah. I just haven't found that to be true for me. Need/want something even small and lower profile.

The Kahr will fit the bill. ;-)

Really like my Kahr CW9, been eyeballing a CM9... Want to see a few more positive reports from TGO(hint,hint) before I commit.

[Dave Nowlin]

The Kahr CM9 is a great little pistol that is also pretty accurate and a great deal for the price. It is my hot weather EDC period.

[tarheelbball]

Make sure to read the owners manual, 200 rounds for break-in, use sling shot method, lube it good and find carry ammo similar in shape to FMJ. Golden Sabers didn't work for me.

[Dave Nowlin]

I suppose I have a question here. Would you really carry a gun to protect the life of yourself and family that you hadn't put 200 rounds through simply for peace of mind? I wouldn't!!! All gun manufacturers occasionally turn out a bad one. I don't want to discover that I bought that one when my life is on the line.

[dbla]

Get's here tomorrow guys! Anyone have any suggestions on carry ammo they've found it liked? I'm loading up a couple hundred rounds tonight to send through it.

Year round EDC 37 rds 9mm and 15 rds 380

[Badracr1]

Kahr CM9 or CW9. The CM is about $400, the CW a little pricier. I carry the CM9 daily IWB. Can't even tell it's there, and it's a 9mm versus the .380 or smaller. I really like it. So far about 500 rounds through it with no problems at all.
