Pocket carry sucks if in a vehicle and ankle carry is about the most untactical place of all to carry.

When it comes to stolen firearms it is to my understanding that the information needs to continuesly be reentered into NCIC every year. So the longer it has been stolen the less likely it would be to show up. So I would say the chances of it showing up stolen if it really was is less than 50% because most people don't know there serials anyway. If they bought the gun new the BATF can retreive the serial numbers if the reporting agency knows or cares to call. Stolen guns are weird, it's almost always a a saturday night special $100 gun especially HiPoints. If it is a quality gun it's almost always a SIG or a Smith. Oh and everyway there is to "run" serial numbers will require you to relinquish the firearm if it is hot.

FWIW, I have always imagined my BUG would most likely be used within a couple of feet if not pushed up against the target. This has always lead me to believe that I want the hottest round and not necessarily the one I group the best with. I understand a concearn with slower followup shots.

There is a lot to like about the CW45.

Theres something about XD45's and SWAT I'm noticing.

Gt Dist outside of Chattanooga has them in stock for $265

Did you send off for your free mags yet?

Not a whole lot smaller than the Beretta though. Send off for your free magazines now!

How much are they at sportsmans?

I have tried Glock 30 ownership twice and it just dont work for me. Not so much the thickness of the grip but the thick heavy slide comparred to the 9/40's

A Glock 3 is a curtain rod so go ahead and carry it anywhere you like.

The only thing that comes close is "Unauthorized signs, signals, or markings" TCA 55-8-113 and it basically states any such device that would translate confusion to other motorist to believe altered movement of traffic. Yes, Very vague.

Well its about flawless but about 50 yrs old technology. Its the size of many guns three calibers larger. If it works for you by all means carry one. I have noticed 380 is getting cheaper every year.

I dont think it will change prices as some of there long guns are priced higher than any where in town. If anything you may see one or two small shops have to close up. Btw I once had a Glock 17 that my Grandfather bought at Walmart. No one ever believed me but the Serial number prefix matched the batch Glock said was a Walmart exclusive.

Apples and Oranges as it sounds like you allready have two great carry firearms.

You may bring attention to yourself if you use it to justify hauling a heavier load. I have written down at work the charge for excessive payload which we have used to cite vehicles many times that tend to stall on a hill in my patrol area. You are setting yourself up for a huge lawsuit and insurance cancellation if you were involved in a wreck due to excessive payload.

All of those are personal preference. If you could shoot them all first it would help you decide, but I'm sure you can't. For me, and I have shot all but the Beretta PX4, my preference would be. 1. Glock 19(don't rule out a 26) followed closely by the 2. XD9SC then followed closely by the 3. M&P9c then the 4.PX4 SC only because i have never shot one. The PX4's feel fine in the hand but so did a pistol I bought one time and hated after shooting it. I'm really a fan of Glocks in 9/40/357 and not so much 45. I love XD's and M&P's in 45 but not 9/40/357. I think you may be better served by a Sub-compact than a compact as you aren't getting much smaller than your 92fs. Saving more weight than anything.

(Ret.)Col. Mike Walker was wearing one at speech one time but he may have been the only one.

In this situation you know well who he is and where to find him so no worries.

I doubt we will see any in the hands of uniformed due to the fact there are almost no retention duty holsters for p250's. I have looked and haven't found much that appeals to me.

The two Pawn Shops I frequent would probably just assume be gun shops anyway, but they have pretty clean guns. I thought a couple of months ago that I wanted a prelock J frame so I went in J and M Pawn to find exactly what I was looking for. It was a mint 442 Nickel no-lock and he told me $350 I said let me think about it because I had allready bought two guns that week. I came back an hour later and the other guy that was in the shop overheard and bought it. I ended up finding a 642 no lock instead but would have loved that 442 nickel. I really don't go in any others than my regular two.

I was thinking one time I had heard Sig's of a 40S&W flavor but I'm waiting to hear from others

It's really odd that there is no 45GAP's in Tennessee when Georgia And Florida agencies use them so much.

I would also like to add that some 1911 magazines will work in this gun.

I would say it's about 20% and Chattanooga is a pretty large Department. I'm surprised at how few 9mm remain.
