Couple of points regarding Israeli carry. It is primarily used as a safety issue for the untrained. Also the handgun is essentially a backup gun for Israeli soldiers as they are normally carrying rifles. Not really transferable to civilian situations. It also in use is much more likely to induce a malfunction/misfeed when you are forced to save your life or that of a loved one. It also assumes one has both hands available to work the action of the firearm. How many times is one hand occupied holding a child, carrying an object, holding a phone, etc. Much slower and less optimal if one chooses to carry a handgun.

There is enough concern that several high profile trainers will not allow students with 320s to take their classes.

Both a really nice guns. As mentioned, shoot the echelon and make the choice. Or, do like most of us, own both.

Private sale to 18-20 yo legal. FFL =no sale/ illegal.

I’ve got one of the Remington SBR10 made by Baikal. It is O/U 12 ga; built like a tank. I would expect this .410 to be the same.

Similar.....2x7 Bushnell with offset RedDot for CQB

There has been several settled law-suits with Sig. The last 2 AD's I've read about seem to be legitimate. There is enough concern that some LEO agencies have changed duty guns and some well known instructors do not allow 320s in their classes. Enough concern to make me question their use. I did have one early on. Sent it back for mod and the trigger was unsatisfactory IMO. Sold it. Only gunI haven't regretted getting rid of.

one of the best pocket guns for weak hands, older shooters...and a great price

Sounds good to me.....go ahead and sell to a gun store for a loss, at least I won't be tempted

long story short...I acquired several thousand rounds of 9mm FMJ under the condition they needed to be pulled, not shot due to risk. I have the RCBS puller as noted. Easy peezy to reload using my powder and reclaimed primed brass and bullets. No need to run through sizer they drop perfectly in sizing gauge. Simply run through bell/powder drop station, then bullet seater and Lee FCD. Still perfect. Will shoot some tomorrow.

I've had both. My choice is the Rival-S. Very disappointed in the Smith. Couln't compare to a 5" 1.0 M&P that I apexed out with barrel, trigger and performance kit. FWIW

If classified as a park, one must still possess an ECP or CCP. Signs may be posted but knowing your laws is important.

Just my 2c, I’m not a fan of compensators. As a SO running shooters, very loud. If shooting inside a building or covered shed even louder. Sometimes shooting through or around barrels even more so. And of course we are talking about those magnum long blaster explosive 9mm!! And shooting from retention is still another story. So that’s why I’m not a fan of the pictured TTI.

Imo, one of the best polymer M&P products they have put out. Bought an extra slide and had it milled for a dot. Otherwise I'd get this one.

I believe SB 0441 does that in some form or fashion: https://legiscan.com/TN/bill/SB0441/2025

still can be an issue with Federal buildings, courts, schools and posted property.

Been an instructor, especially with new shooters around 12 yrs. Many hours taking (borrowing) from others in regard to SD. Karl Rehn favors their use if the student practices. IMO, for SD in low/ambient light they may be a tad quicker. Truly a point shooting situation. Understanding the laser will never be without movement. Also like you, after shooting 'dots' my iron shooting got better. This also spilled over into my clays shooting.....I know, crazy! But maybe target focus, or any focus just improved.

https://legiscan.com/TN/text/SB0807/id/3098760 This could be a slippery slope. Especially a concern with long guns. If one drives a SUV or similar vehicle without a trunk this law may be hard to adhere to. Going to the clays range or target range for rifle classes may put you in jeopardy. Ammo etc must be kept from casual view. Guess I have to carry a blanket. My shotgun simply won't fit in my glove box. But it does seem to allow for the vehicle to simply be locked and no container required for a long gun. Handguns will have to be in a locked container evidently.

I've had one since early summer. Thousand + rounds. Very reliable. If you like heavy, you'll like this gun.

Back to your original question....the Beretta 300 is very reliable and about as good as it gets for the money. It can be had in a tactical model. Also can easily take care of a coyote at 50 yds. As far as ammo, 00 Buck in federal flight control, 8 pellet is regarded as one of the best. Same thing can be had in the Hornady Black and low-recoil Remington. 2 3/4 " is all you need and this will help with mag capacity. Be aware, as shells come from the factory they can be a little longer in comparison when unfired this again can cut down mag capacity by 1. Preference for VanComp side saddle velcro cards. PS: if you have your gun, I recommend training with Randy Harris, known on this forum as Cruel Hand Luke. This is a class relatively close to you:

So much for crime prevention:

Great perspective! Do you mind if I borrow? Credit to Kurt Vonnegut?

Or, possibly you lose Your gun at gunpoint and the robbery continues. Possibly he shoots one or more people in the process just to prove a point. As explained in the video, a concealed carrier had a fighting chance.

another reason not to OC

I can certainly agree with OC in conjunction with typical outdoor activities, especially in bear country or big cat In TN, one must still have a permit to carry in any park, OC or not. Police OC but are still victimized.
