Darn It, Darn it, Darn it!

Post by marksiwel »

Wife saw me looking at Hoslters for the Hi Power. She asked why I was looking, told her I needed something for Summer wear untill I get my Sig p250 Sub Compact.
So she says
Lets go buy the Sig right now
*Jaw Drops*
Go to Academy all they got is the show Room Model, nothing "New in Box" Show model looks beat to Crud, ask guy if they are able to drop price because its the show model, he says "Nope. would be nice right?"
He looked around nothing in the area or the State expect Corpus.

So I walked out sans gun :mad5

I need a Sig P250 Subcompact New in Box! HELP!

I was shocked

Guess I'm leaning Toward a Glock 26, XD-9 Sub Compact, or a M&P9c

Anyone tried to coneal any of these? Was it easy?
I just need something for the summer months, but I want a 9mm, and I want it to not be TOO small.

Glock 26 was my choice. Grip angle and finger grooves happen to fit my hand best over the others - you should see what feels best for you.

The 26 is a great shooter and easy to conceal - plenty of good reviews on youtube you can check out. I can pocket carry in some pants/shorts and jacket with stock magazine (10+1). Using +2 mags and Glock 19 magazine as extra mag (15 round capacity) allows for easy carry of 28 rounds. :fire

I have the Glock 26. I use the Com-Tac MTAC holster and it works great. http://www.comp-tac.com/product_info.php?products_id=95" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I have worn it with shorts many times. I would just suggest you wear an undershirt during the summer to help absorb sweat.

Any chance you can have your wife talk to mine? :lol:

Stinks they wouldn't even consider a token discount. Did you ask to speak to a manager?

Cargo Shorts, 175 lbs., 6'O'' 34"-36" waist, but carrying IWB I wear 36"-38" and a 40" Comp-Tac belt TALL-sized Men's T-shirts (J C Penneys had Tall Men's for $9.00) with a TALL Guyabarra shirt unbuttoned in front, over the T-shirt.

I generally carry my Glock 26 with a Glock 19 magazine and 19->26 mag Spacer IWB at 3:00 so I have 16 rounds handy. (Except around the house I use a 17 Mag and 17->26 Spacer) The Promag Spacers are more textured than the AG spacers, though I use a soldering iron and add slight texture anyway to the finger groove and fingertip area, but not so much it sandpapers my side or holster.

Unless I'm carrying my 19 at 3:00, in which case the 26 is 9:00 or crossdraw or SOB. (Still doesn't interfere with the PT709 IWB crossdraw or 9:00 nor the PF9 in right front patch pocket or AMT Backup .380 in left front patch pocket or the two Seecamps in my normal front pockets.) I don't carry spare magazines, they get a little heavy..... Unless I'm using a Tuck This 2 holster (On Clearance at Midway, $20.00; not the most comfortable, but very versatile and concealable), then I carry Spare Glock 17 mags with 17->19 spacers so I can use in either the 19 or 26 :mrgreen:

For the times I feel under-armed with JUST the above, I might also put my Safepacker on my belt at about 3:00 with the PT92 in it and a spare mag too, it fits my belt right on top of the IWB Glock, so any bulging is probably attributable to that medical device anyway.

Same setup in Jeans without the patch pocket guns, which then one the PF9 or PT709 become another IWB.

On Sundays I button up the front of the Guyabarra shirt and tuck the T-shirt in for Church, and toss a DB380 into the Safepacker flap in case one of the Deacons forgets to carry that day, I can share..

I have a variety of holsters, Kholster, Comp-Tac, Comfort Carry by jnd Tactical, Uncle Mikes, Desantis etc etc etc for different occasions.

Remember people wearing ankle weights and carrying weights to lose weight and get in shape while they walk .....?
Still, I've cut way down since I used to carry about 20 to 30 guns concealed ... that many got heavy and uncomfortable. Also, you sink faster if you fall out of the kayak while fishing; so, I store my P11 with belt clip in my Life jacket pocket so it floats, just in case, and I only carry enough to get me back to the several spare 33 round magazines in the car.
