I am trying not to be a sell out!

[Skullglide]

I carry a Glock 43 all the time at home. When I leave, I usually have two. Also carry my gen 1 Glock 17 a fair amount. After over 2500 rounds a piece out of the 43’s, I am very confident with them. I spent sometime yesterday shooting a gen 5 17, that a coworker won at a conference. It runs well minus a trigger that drags on the trigger guard.

I'd rather take a .380 to a gunfight than a knife.....

What if the fight is at arm's length and your gun is still in the holster?

 

[Coach]

Sling shots and air rifles can kill. Doesn't mean they are a good idea for self defense.

I cannot rep you. Amen!

 

[Coach]

The best way to avoid the temptation of carrying only a .380 is not own a .380.

I cannot rep you either. .380 is kinda like mopeds.

Then I've still got me. The weapons are a convenience I like but I depend on me before I do weapons

I belive Harry was making a more humerous personal reference? Maybe not?

I just don't bother getting armed while playing in the garage. I spend enough time upside down or doing something filthy that I just don't want to be inconvenienced by carrying some extra weight....even if it isn't much at all.

I think shorts and an ankle holster looks tough!

Only if you're wearing sandals and black socks, and you tuck the holster under the sock.

July 21st, Muncie, I'll bring my training blades and a little water based paint. The "dead guy" buys the beer?

I am also guilty of carrying only a .380 often in the summer

Isn't it a fact that crime is actually higher in the summer? Something to ponder.

I bought 2. The first one, an LCP, was simply to show people how crappy little .380s really are. It is a miserable piece of ....... Then the G42 followed me home because I wife was looking for something smaller then her Kimber. Dang if those two didn’t meet in my safe and a third one showed up a couple of weeks ago. Wife saw the front of American Rifleman and said this looks interesting, buy one so I can shoot it.

No way I am hanging out in the garage or mowing grass without a snub in my pocket or small 9mm on my hip. The G42 is just an experiment. I am to old, fat and married to do anything really. This is as close as I get to living dangerously.

One of the guys that hangs out at a LGS up here in Anderson carries on the ankle in shorts regularly

 

[nakinate]

While not my first choice, I wouldn't sweat it too much. (See what I did there?)

What kind of draw times do you guys have from the pocket?

What kind of draw times do you guys have from the pocket?

Obviously slower then from the belt but that would depend on the pocket, pants, holster. Truth is I am not a big fan of pocket carry. A real gun on the belt with an open cover garment or untucked shirt is the fastest presentation. Small gun, tucked shirt, pocket or other deeper concealment is slower. Always a trade off between speed, power, size, comfort and concealment.

One advantage of a pocket or purse is that a person might be able to put their hand on the gun prior to the need to draw. Lot of what ifs.

Pizza was good, having a houseful of family "Priceless", but situational awareness sets in when you are standing there (anywhere) wondering "if" you have the wrong Glock in your pocket.
A G-42/43 holds 6/7/8 depending on your .380-9mm magazine, your Glock 26/27 at least 10/12 9mm or .40.
Again its a moot point, but for pocket carry I say go with Gusto, which in my case "should" have been a G-27 with BORII 2A, holster, and standard 15 rd magazine in opposite pocket as a spare.
God those wild cherry slushy/freeze/slurpies are so good.

BW3 Wing night tonight, Wild, x tra wet, takeout with you guessed it Wild Cherry "freezy" from Speedway station at SR37 & 141st st...................I'll be that guy in the camo cargo's and Detroit Tigers B Ball cap with the G-27 in his pocket!

How is your pocket draw when sitting down?

Pretty dang slow. Which is why my gun is currently on my belt. But with a tucked in shirt I am not sure my presentation would be exactly blazing.
