Keith B & Longtooth,

Thank you both for the factual replies. I had no experience other than revolvers and M-16s prior to purchasing the SW40VE so I didn't notice the "quality" of the trigger pull. FWIW it is a LOT better than my son's Kel Tec 9 mil - the pull on that is, IMVHO, ridiculous.

A friend is "holding" a Colt Defender for me (I didn't have the dollars but he did so he bought it and is giving me "first option" on it when I can swing it) but this S&W felt pretty comfortable in my hand and I didn't want to use my .357 for the CHL class so I bought it. I've only fired a maybe a hundred rounds through it and I need a lot of work, but it will do for now.

Again, thank you for the replies and apolgies to all for the temporary thread-hijack. The people on this forum are a wonderful resource to newbies like me!

BluHog,
I shot another one today. One of the men in our church is going for class this weekend & we went to the range today. It reinforced my thoughts on it that the trigger is much better than the first ones that came out. He has had very little experience w/ a hand gun & shot a 241. They have become a viable carry gun I believe. Good job gentlemen if yall have registered yet.

My Carry Pieces:



Kahr CW 40 and Walther P99 DAO (I'm kind of a fan of the DA trigger)



I carry my Kahr in a Uncle Mike's IWB holster, but looking to change it out to something tuckable once I get paid.



My Walther p99 I wear OWB with a Fobus holster. I am looking to get an IWB holster for this bad boy. I love the way it shoots.



Another angle. I always carry a spare clip with me.

No pictures readily available, but I mostly carry a Kel-Tec PF-9 in a SuperTuck or a Kel-Tec P3AT with just the belt clip.

wow its like watching a fireworks display

A few of my options for daily carry:

No, it's a Schuco Studio 1050 wind-up tin race car ("Made in U.S. Zone Germany"). I bought it new in Panama in 1952.

I haven't been around the forum for quite a while, so I thought I would renew on this thread...

The usual carry. Kimber Tactical Ultra II with KimPro TacMags, and 3 carry options.

The Tucker in the middle is the most often used option. Left - High Noon Holsters Yaqui Slide.
Right - Comp-Tac Minotaur IWB.

Kel-Tec P3AT .380 with 2 carry options.

Don't recall the ankle holster maker. The other is the Galco U.S.A. Holster now discontinued, but have similar options.
Also have a Don Hume J.I.T. Slide not pictured, as it is being field tested by a friend looking for holsters.

H&K USP .45 with Meprolight night sights, Hogue grip, and the usual Carry option for it. Galco FLETCH
with matching mag carrier.


Other leather options for the H&K.

Aker FlatSider and matching 2mag carrier, or the Haughen Handgun Leather Deep Cover SOB.
The leather you see on the bottom of the Aker helps to push the bottom of the paddle out
and the butt of the gun in towards my body.

Other Kydex options for the H&K

Holster on left is a G-Code kydex paddle holster that I originally purchased with their Comfort Carry IWB rig,
which actually made it comfortable to carry IWB. Above it is the Comp-Tac double mag carrier to go with the
Comp-Tac C-TAC holster on the right. Above that is the Hoffner's Ultrux ITP J-hook with matching single mag carrier.

Yes, I have a lot of options, but life is diverse...Gotta have something for every occasion.

P.S. the blade is a Coldsteel extra-large Voyager. 5in. sharpened edge...5 1/2in tip to hinge.
Hopefully that satisfies TX law regardless of the local DA's interpretation.
