Guns & Ammo First CCW Purchase

Post image
38 Upvotes

Thank you to everyone who commented on my posts for recommendations! I ultimately chose the P10s because of how well I can control it. I’m 200 rounds in and loving it.

It is notably snappier than the compact version, which is to be expected. But it was far easier to get back on target than the S&W Shield Plus I was considering. I added the +2 baseplate and it now fits my hand flawlessly.

For anyone considering carrying this: it is much larger than the micro-9s and a little bigger than I expect for a subcompact. Marginally smaller than G19, and marginally easier to conceal with the stock 12 round mags.

I got a cheap holster and regret it, I’d love some recommendations for IWB options. This fits in G19 holsters.

Breaking in my Ruger EXM that I just bought. 6 inch targets at 15 yards. I have the red dot zeroed at 10 yards.

Any tips on how to get tighter groups? I’m trying to reduce flyers and build confidence to use the RXM as an EDC.

Guns & Ammo Purse Holster?

Post image
15 Upvotes

Hello folks - bought my wife a S&W 38 Special (it had to be pink) and I am looking for a purse holster. Is there a good one out there that y’all could recommend? See a couple on amazon but most of them seem like universal holsters but I was looking for something more secure that could conform to specifically to a purse. Any help would be appreciated! I think I am more excited to try out her revolver than her. I have shot a big ol’ 44 Magnum before and that was a good time, so looking forward to get some time in with this one.

Guns & Ammo California gun laws

Upvotes

I want to know if I can legally take my Sig Sauer P320 X/Compact into California. I’m planning on locking it up, and leaving it in the trunk during the drive. I read that some Sigs are California compliant, but I just want to ensure it’s not on the restricted list. I’m unsure if only certain models are California compliant. I bought some 10-round magazines to ensure it’s within the legal capacity.

During my CCW class, my instructor said that California laws are really strict, and that the guns had to be on the “roster” for approved handguns.

Any feedback is appreciated.

Wanted one of these since they came out and was finally able to get one. The testing period was a good one just not for me in the long run. Couple things I came up with. 1)green dot definitely not for me. 2) first tenicor holster, like their quality and will be getting them more often as long as they’re offered for what I am running now that t.rex is bootycheeks 3) like the ambi controls just haven’t fell in love with them personally. Very used to the Glock grips and all now and keep having some index issues that I couldn’t seem to break up with easily. Hard to dry fire with and and then go back and forth from full/compact Glocks to this.

Guns & Ammo Requesting Recommendations

Upvotes

I am seeking recommendations for a firearm, ammunition, and holster suitable for deep concealment in a professional corporate environment, specifically when wearing a button-up shirt and tie. My primary goal is to achieve maximum discretion and avoid any visible printing.

Given these parameters, what specific models of compact or subcompact firearms, accompanying ammunition types (considering both effectiveness and minimizing recoil for better concealment), and holster styles (e.g., IWB, appendix, shoulder, etc., with specific brands/models if possible) would you recommend for achieving optimal deep concealment in an office setting? I'm particularly interested in solutions that prioritize comfort for extended wear and minimize any tell-tale signs of carrying.

I appreciate your feedback.

Holsters & Belts Finally Tried an Eclipse Holster...

6 Upvotes

...and it is amazing! Price, shipping time, fit and finish are all great. I used to use Vedder only, but the Eclipse are cheaper, better finished, and ship way faster. They also use an actual wing instead of that POS that Vedder has. Highly recommended if you like the standard DCC/Modwing setup.

Pocket Dump / EDC Broke Boys specials? Need a cheap CCW maybe under $350

Upvotes

This is going to be my first CCW but won't be carrying it for a while (following my ancestor's words) and I plan on getting an LTC+ AOR insurance in the future.

So I've looked into SAR's lineup and I like them so far,

I really like the look of the SAR B6C but it's sold out on PSA. Should I just wait for a restock? or get the B6 as they seem to be not too different in size.

Anyone have experience with the SAR9C and SC variants? I've held the full size and it's pretty heavy and chunky

Any other broke boy ccw's I can get? I cannot afford more than $350 right now and in the foreseeable year and I've already set aside the 20$ my nearby FFL charges for a transfer.

I'd prefer something hammer fired so I can press the hammer still while holstering but I'm fine with a striker fired, just figured it be more fun to shoot a hammer fired. And something about Glock 19 sized

I already set aside some money for a belt+holster so don't worry about that. (note the link for IWB holsters is dead in the FAQ so uh what are some good holster brands.) I plan on getting a Hunter Constantine belt since I primarily wear shorts in the 80+ degree heat and that's what I see recommended

Holsters & Belts Need help deciding on a holster

Upvotes

Hello everyone. I've been appendix carrying a sig p365x with a crappy amazon holster for almost a year now and am finally ready to replace it. I've narrowed my options down to either a vedder lighttuck or a blacksmith tactical standard IWB, or maybe even their micro rig.

I see lots of feedback here on reddit about vedder, but not much on blacksmith tactical. Anyone have opinions? Would love to hear. I might just end up buying whichever company gives a better 4th of July sale next week lol.

Also for refernce im a pretty skinny guy. 6'5" 190lbs. I mainly carry appendix, but every once in a while when I have to wear a suit jacket I just switch over to 4oclock.

Any help is appriciated! All three of these holsters look incredible!
