I've heard great things about the XDS too, just need to see how it feels in hand.

On a side note Murph, that timeshare at Ocean Pointe is open again, I wouldn't mind heading back down to WPB

Agreed, always liked the P232 I think it is.

Let me know if you decide to make the trip.

Yeah, absolutely the best .380.
If you go that route, seek out the HD model.
That is the one I got for my wife.
It is a heavier gun with less recoil than the standard model.
My wife has great control with it.

Has that completely replaced the p232? I had a line on a used P232 a while back when my wife was starting to look at getting her CCW.

cigarmonkel · 02-12-2014, 02:40 PM

went to cabelas yesterday to get some ammo to shoot my 9mm at the range yesterday. they only had one type in stock, didn't think too much of it saw it was 115g 9mm luger so i snagged a few boxes... oops. Opened them up and they are the nylon jacketed ones. FML these things shoot dirtier then ANYTHING i've ever shot including my hand loads and are inaccurate as all hell. At first I thought it was me since I haven't shot in awhile. I took out a box of my normal rounds i shoot and nope, definitely the nylon jacketed rounds just being junk. Not to mention the kick on them was SIGNIFICANTLY more then normal 115g 9mms. lesson learned.. never buying those again even if they are the only thing on the shelf.

Nope.
That is a nice one too, close to the PPK in appearance,
I was just correcting on the one I felt was the best little .380 out there, like a mini 1911.

That's too bad. I bet that's why they were the only ones left on the shelf. I am still finding it very difficult to get 9mm ammo. I've been reloading mine for a while now, but I miss the good old days when 9mm ammo was cheap and plentiful.

I was just at Sportsman Warehouse and they had pallets of 9mm in 250 round bricks. I picked up a couple hundred rounds just for the heck of it

MurphysLaw · 02-15-2014, 02:31 PM

Spent a few hours at the gun show this morning, got to check out lots of new possible CCW weapons. Both the XDS and M&P subcompact offerings felt odd in my hand. I played with a Colt new agent 1911, wasn't too crazy about the sighting system, and there wasn't much in the 3" 1911s that I couldn't live without. The two guns that really fit my hand and felt natural were the HKs. The USP compact felt great in the hand, as did the P2Ksk. The P2Ksk felt easier to conceal and I was able to talk the guy down to below any NIB price I saw online so I walked out of the gun show with this (and a box of hornady critical defense ammo).

Cool Brian!

Anyone have any first hand knowledge on the Gunsite Scout Rifle?

Very nice! I figured I'd sign up there, I can already tell this won't be my only HK, I really liked the USPc and 45c as well. Do you carry your SK at all? If so what rig are you using? I ordered a full kydex IWB from zero concealment, they're lead time is about 30 days but they have so many options in colors and patterns that it's worth the wait to have something unique.

How's it shoot in .40? I'm hoping to get to the range today.

s0leful0ne · 02-17-2014, 10:53 AM

I plan on carrying it, I'm still working on get my CCW, i've heard crossbreed is the one to get, i'm still exploring my options.

The .40 isn't as bad as I thought it would be, its going to take some getting used to before I get as accurate as I want to be.

I'm also heading to the range as we speak haha

MurphysLaw · 02-17-2014, 04:35 PM

Not a bad day at the range, fed 150 rounds through the HK. No malfunctions even running double tap drills. Here's my last 2 groups of the day, 10 rounds at 10 yards DA/SA. I'm really impressed with this little gun, think I made the right choice for sure.

Bruzee · 02-17-2014, 09:42 PM

Hey all you 1911 dudes... Looking to pickup a 1911 soon and to be honest, I'm a bit overwhelmed with all the choices out there? Kimber? Springfield? Para Ordinance? My head is spinning..... What do y'all carry?
