Not sure how small some of these pocket/nano guns are with you guys. I've met some of you before and some of you are really big dudes!

On a topic worthy note, Ill be picking up my first shotgun later this week. getting a Mossberg 590 Tactical w/light forend. Will post pics when I get it.

I love my S&W Shield (9mm)! I have fairly large hands, I always shoot using the extended mag and I picked up a pachmayr grip glove which helped a lot.

Yup, for now. More in the future though, for other purposes.

Going to sign up for my ccw class today. Met a retired ISP trooper who's hosting a class with another trooper for a decent price. Hopefully I can get my permit by Feb or March 2014. ISP apparently hired 80 guys to implement this whole thing so hopefully it's fairly streamlined.

Nice that they are finally letting you defend yourself bro!

11-02-2013, 12:54 PM

It's long overdue. Not sure what I want to carry though.

Are you required to test, then assign only one handgun to your CCW, or does your CCW allow you to carry any handgun under the permit? If you don't already have a favorite handgun in your collection. I suggest you find a store that will allow you to handle and shoot as many makes and models as possible to find the right fit. I personally enjoy the XD9, Glock 17 or 19, and the 1911 is awesome for home defense (just a fun model IMO). But each gun feels different to each person. However, I am interested to hear Remo's response has this is in his wheelhouse... Regardless, good luck bud and let us know your selection.

Off to the range, need to qualify with my new optic!!

per the trooper I talked with at the gun shop, I can test with whatever pistol I want and carry whatever pistol I want. I don't have to test with the gun I will be carrying. I haven't read the entire law yet so it's possible he's wrong about that.
