consealed carry guns that missed the mark

[Lloyd Smale]

Just thinking about guns that make me scratch my head. First is the 26/27 glock. Probably the least ergonomic handgun made. Without a extension mag its like hanging on to a 2x4. Because its the same thickness it doesnt conceal any better then a 19/23. i had one of each and dont miss them a bit. Especially now that you can get a hellcat or double stacked shield that holds as many and is much slimmer. The other one I still even own. Its a springfield emp 40. Absolutely gorgeous little gun. If looks counted it would be a first pick. Runs well too. Two problems and the first is a deal breaker ITS HEAVY. I have a full sized kimber with an aluminum grip frame that is noticeably lighter even with a clip of 45s in it. They made the 9mm emp with an aluminum grip frame but for some reason i cant comprehend used all steel on the 40. If the gun was lighter id carry it all the time. But as is its become another range gun that once in a great while i carry (usually open carry when im heading to camp)

   Some times, certain guns can surprise.  My grandson, (LEO) has 3 @  9mm handguns  1) Smith & Wesson SD9 VE

  2) Taurus G2 C  and recently purchased a SCCY, CPX2..SCCY is apparently a new entry in the gun business.

  He is very pleased with this gun..  More accurate than the Taurus and just as accurate and reliable, but handier

   than the S&W, it is now his main carry.

ive thought of picking up one of the sccy 9s. Problem is read one test and there they claim they run like a glock. Next review has the jamming. I guess for what they want a guy could pick one up and if it was a pos just hawk it at the gunshop. Probably loose 50 bucks at most on a 250 dollar gun. I remember just a couple years ago that was shield price territory. Now there closer to 500. Every time i see a 9 and get antsy i tell myself ive got so dam many of then now that they hardly get a workout. But for fun free shooting a 250 dollar 9mm that runs would sure be hard to beat. I can cast bullets and load them for not much more then 22 shells cost. That is until my primer stash ends.

  All I can say is that after many rounds through it, for function, reliability and accuracy, my grandson is very pleased with his SCCY, and prefers it over the other two, mentioned.

hickock sang its praises too but I wonder sometime about what he brags on and what he doesnt like

[oldandslow]

I shot the one my grand daughter in law received for Christmas not long after they appeared on the market. I considered it difficult to shoot with a very heavy trigger and rather nasty recoil. Her opinion is she hates it.

I have never seen Hickock actually bad mouth a gun in any of his videos. He might point out something some people "might" not like but never says it's junk or difficult to shoot. I have quit watching him. I don't care for videos that are long winded and beat around the bush and he is a master as being long winded and can thrash a bush into shreads. I have to give him one thing though, he's a very good shot.

I agree. I guess if any of us had access to all the free ammo and guns he does wed be better shots. Bet he isnt paying 40 bucks a box for some 9mm ball. Just bought and paid for advertisement
