CigarSquid · 01-15-2013, 03:56 AM

I can hide that better. I play softball year round.

emopunker2004 · 01-15-2013, 04:00 AM

why not try the one u have first

CigarSquid · 01-15-2013, 04:02 AM

I will, around the house and when I got out. See how it does.

spectrrr · 01-15-2013, 10:43 AM

for anyone using a .40 loaded with "safety ammunition" for home defense, these ballistic gel / wall test videos should be very interesting.

40S&W Glaser Blue 115gr Safety Slug penetrating Interior Wall

40S&W Federal 135gr EFMJ Versus Interior Wall (SHOT 2)

40S&W Speer 180gr Short Barrel Gold Dot versus Interior Wall

40S&W Speer 180gr Short Barrel Gold Dot, Gelatin + Interior Wall + Gelatin

Moral of the story - doesn't matter what ammo you're shooting, shot placement still matters, A LOT.

emopunker2004 · 01-15-2013, 10:48 AM

In 40 I'd use what we issue, 180gr Winchester ranger t

colinb913 · 01-15-2013, 11:20 AM

I carry Hornady Critical Defense in my .40. My fiance carries Hornady Critical Defense in her .380. I love the stuff.

spectrrr · 01-15-2013, 11:29 AM

I'm sure all the stuff hits hard and works good... the point is, it ALL goes through walls, even the fancy safety slug stuff. So shot placement still matters.

In my Glock 23, I carry the Federal HST rounds.

bonjing · 01-15-2013, 04:00 PM

Wish I could have afforded one of those as well.

emopunker2004 · 01-15-2013, 06:51 PM

Don't forget the added cost of $200 for the ATF tax stamp and waiting 6-9 months for the paperwork to be processed.

spectrrr · 01-15-2013, 07:32 PM

I'm suddenly getting the urge to move to Texas

That right there is gorgeous, in more than one way

Does anyone have any first hand experience with carrying the G27 or springfield xdc inside the waste? I already have an LCP for the back pocket but i have been wanting something for IWB option. I have made a chart of all the different .40s I'm looking at and the Glock 27 and xd are very close in size. The big size difference between the 27, xd and the shield is that the shield is .23" thinner. However the xd and 27 both hold 3 more rounds. Thoughts or opinions on any of the guns above?

emopunker2004 · 01-15-2013, 09:11 PM

What's ur height and weight? Both those are thick

What do you recommend for IWB carry for a 6'5" 330lbs guy... Just curious... Didn't know H&W factored into CCW carry but it makes sense... what factors does this change?
