I am with Neil, shotguns for most applications

A good .223 is always a nice option also. I carry 9mm and .45 for handguns and a pocket .380, I figure any gun in hand is better than one in your car.

I'm seriously considering a pistol permit. I'm pretty sure an intruder isn't going to wait around for me to get and load my shotgun.

Dave,

You could move to America and the you wouldn't need a permit to have a handgun.

I'm sure you're reply is in jest, but I'm still not sure I follow the intended joke?

I think he was referring to New York's strict gun laws.

I am about to purchase a M&P Shield in .40. My everyday carry is a S&W E series 1911 which i love. I have had a Beretta Tomcat .32 for about 10 years that I carry in my pocket once in a while. I recently got my PI license and in Florida even if you have a Concealed License (which I do) you can't carry with that license when you are working on a case. You have to get a Florida G Statewide firearms license. And you have to qualify with whatever caliber you are going to carry. Did that with the 1911, and will now have to do it with the .40. The .32 isn't an allowed caliber to carry so I figured I would get something that was on the list that is smaller (than my 1911) and I could fit in a pocket in a pinch.

Anyone have any experience with the 9 and the 40 shield? I was a little concerned that the recoil in such a small framed pistol in .40 would be snappy. Talked to a guy that has one and he said it wasn't a big deal.

I was able to get an awesome deal on one with my first responder discount. Looks like the pistol, and extra extended mag (for a total of three, it comes with two) shipped to my FFL and background check will be just a few dollars less than 400 bucks.

I dont think the recoil in that frame will be a big deal to you since yu are used to the 1911. Should be pretty similar in my opinion.

Remo · 02-27-2016, 01:45 PM

I have the Shield 9mm, and have yet to shoot the .40, I have heard that they are not friendly, but who knows, can you shoot one before you buy?

I got my shield and my ccw about the same time. I picked the shield 9mm due to cheaper rounds and more carry capacity. It is a great gun and shoots like a laser. I chose it over the xps 45.

My EDC pistol is a Glock 23. I carry it at 4:00 in a Crossbreed SuperTuck Deluxe.

I typically have it loaded with either Federal Guard Dogs or Winchester PDX1.
