Have several small autos I use, mainly a Ruger LCP and a Para PDA 9mm. Sometimes also carry my old Colt LW Commander in 45 acp. Wanted a revolver also as carried mainly revolvers during my LE career plus was a factory trained S&W Armorer. Couldn't find much readily available, but a distributor had 2 different ones that interested me. Number one was a Taurus 905G 9mm that uses full moon clips. Works like a charm, will work with it more once we get a day above freezing. The other one will arrive Tues. and it is a Charter Arms .327 Fed. Mag. Already have an older Ruger Single Six in 32 H&R Mag so that's why I wanted this one. The 9mm was a natural as I have a 1911 in 9 and the PDA. Might even get my old S&W 36 back from my son, so then will have 3 different makes and calibers. Will see how they work out for me this spring.

popplecop,
Like you, I carried many guns in my LEO career. Autos are nice, but per my experience, they are dependent on PERFECT ammo and Perfect magazines. I also went to the S&W Armorers School and built 5, M65 3-inch .357 revolvers and was allowed to buy one. I carry either my M65 or a Colt Cobra in a pocket of my Woolrich hunting coat as I go about town in Winter. Bad Stuff will go down in three seconds or less so BIG Magazines are merely mental games for those never before in a "Hot Corner." Be well. Adam

Can't remember for the life of me what we built, do remember it was 3 and allowed to purchase one. Later sold mine to a fellow warden who still has it after all these years. I have, had, son using it now S&W 36 that I got back in the mid 60s, and liked better than the ones we built.

I have settled in with a Springfield XDS .45 compact. Small, fairly light, easy to carry.
Most of the compact 9mm pistols are no smaller, and I like a .45 over anything else for CCW. I liked the XDS so much, I bought two of them.

8X56MS,
Nice looking guns and a nice photo. Are those as-issued extended magazines or after market magazines? How many rounds will the mag hold? Adam

Had a gal down the road give me a Kel-Tec 9mm to sell She shot it a whole 5 times. Think it was a little bitey if you know what I mean. She even bought another mag for it. Momma has a Kahr 9mm and really likes it. I may keep this Kel-Tec. Like the Kahr better but I can buy this darn thing for about 275..I guess that is a fair price..I don't follow pocket pistols much..but I get the box of ammo too. And can buy two more from her for 10 bucks each. Heck the Kahr cost a good bit more than that. As far as carrying.. I don't very much..but when I do it is usually the Wilson Combat. and I also have a Smith M-19 4 inch gun that is fairly easy to carry. I sometimes.. mostly summer..carry the Para LDA 6 shooter. Pretty easy to hide. Small but heavy. Trigger pull on that thing is kinda weird. Ya always wonder if it is going to fire..but it always do.
