Anyone else carry a S&W Airweight .38 special?
I got my CPL last week and have been using the Airweight as my daily carry firearm. It's very concealable and reliable. However, obviously it doesn't have the greatest capacity (only holds 5 rounds) and is harder to reload than a semi auto. My other option at the moment is a .380 (made by some French manufacturer) and it holds 7 or 8 but I don't like how it shoots and the rounds are weak for a carry gun.You guys think the .38 special is a good option or should I be looking for something with a bigger magazine? via /r/CCW http://ift.tt/29cWWfd
Shower thoughts on carry necessities.
TL;DR: I was thinking about how much I like my holster and belt.I was recently thinking about what I would consider my top CCW necessities and thought I'd share with the void. I've been carrying for a few years now, and have learned a couple things in the process about having the right gear to go with your gun.First is a good holster. Obviously. That's a subject that's been beaten to death here: having a good holster that fits you and your gun well is absolutely necessary. I like the hybrid leather/kydex style like what Alien Gear and CrossBreed make, and I made my own out of some leather I had and a kydex sheet I bought locally, and molded it to fit my Glock 19 equipped with a TLR 3. I also ordered a set of standard clips from Alien Gear since all the shops around me only carry metal clips that have sharp corners and put holes in my shirts.The second piece of gear I think is an absolute necessity is a proper carry belt. This is one I finally discovered for myself. I had heard that a good carry belt made all the difference in the world, but I didn't really believe it. After all, I never had any problems with my old floppy leather belt. But I did notice that every time I stood up, I'd have to readjust my holster placement. And I felt like I had to cinch down my belt super tight to keep my gun from pulling my pants down. Then for graduation I got a Magpul Tejas belt and my entire universe changed. I didn't realize just how much a stiff belt would help not just with comfort, but concealment. After switching to the Tejas, I have never once felt like I was printing. And I don't think it's just in my head, I think the stiff belt is able to keep the gun tucked in closer to my body. This was a great discovery in time for summer when I wear light shorts and a thin T-shirt all the time.Anyway, just thought I'd add another $0.02 to the pot here. via /r/CCW http://ift.tt/29cxNRT
Question regarding moving to a different state
I currently live in AZ and am a CCW permit holder. I'm going to be moving to MS soon and was wondering about laws surrounding travel and reciprocity. When I get to MS will i need to reapply and get a permit there or will my current permit be good until expiration? Also, as far as I know I'll be traveling through states thay recognize AZ CCW permits. Any resources or information is much appreciated and more information can be given as needed. Thank you in advanced.Edit: I was also reading up on some things regarding travelling through different states and came across the DPS website for AZ. It talked about having a written agreement with 2 of the states I'm travelling though. This doesn't mean I need an agreement right? Just that the states have an agreement amongst themselves, well that's the way I interpreted it. via /r/CCW http://ift.tt/29leKDP
M&P 9C anyone carry?
Anyone carry this? If so why do you prefer this to a sub c like a shield? via /r/CCW http://ift.tt/291AvtQ
Minnesota Transport Question?
I have an Idaho concealed carry and I'm on my way to Michigan where my CCW is honored. I plan to fly and check the gun in my bag. The problem is that I plan to spend a day in MN where my permit is not honored. If I retrieve my suitcase with the gun in it in MN, does that cause any legal problems for me? Would it be considered "concealed carry" if I was carrying the gun in a box inside of a roller suitcase, and separately carrying ammunition? Thanks. via /r/CCW http://ift.tt/29leAMK
