Around the house gun

[Marine Cpl]

.......... Does that mean they know I'm an alien infiltrator from another planet then? That's not good. I wonder how I've been passing my NICS checks then.

They probably know about your alien status Pod but with hands so soft, they know you don't mean us earthlings any harm.

View attachment 12455 That is a hand that has not seen so much as a day of office work there son! That's a lifetime of hard labor there.

Who are you kidding? Those are pencil pushing hands all day long.

You, sir, are now on the list.

As you can see you have taken Billy Madison's spot.

For around the house consider an ALS holster from Safariland. They have absolutely outstanding retention (for the little guy) and are very very comfortable since it is OWB. I use several different versions of the 7377 series and have no regrets. Faster draw than any IWB as a bonus. They have a belt loop option or, what I prefer, the paddle option which just slides over the pants/belt.

I have that holster for my G20C w/ TLR1-HL. Wanted a handgun with flashlight holster for when I walk the dog along the property line at night. Yes, I walk my dog at night, what of it? We have drug dealers next door (luckily being in the country "next door" is a LONG way away) and coyotes out the ass. Plus, occasionally the dog gets out of the leash and I have to chase her down through the woods. Hence I wanted the retention. Great holster for a gun with a flashlight.

I'll be taking that. And this:

And I'll see you in 5 minutes.

You're putting your lipstick on as we speak, aren't you?

He did already.

Not so worried that I couldn't, but that I'd forget. I may be over thinking things, but I plan to carry a G43 out and about, and will likely train with it a lot, so it's possible under stress I'll forget to disengage the safety, even if I train a lot with the shield.

Might want to buy one or the other. They are pretty similar. In my opinion it doesn't make much sense to have/carry both. Practice with one platform if you can.

I keep a taurus pt92 for my nightstand gun. Granted it's not a carry gun, but great for home. If you're not familiar with it, it's basically a beretta 92 with a frame mounted safety which will allow you to carry either single action-cocked and locked, double action with safety off, or even double action with safety on if you needed.

I have the very disturbing notion that picture arouses you. <shudder>

Lol. Yes. You have beautiful eyes.

List.

I have a list of all the lists im on.
Now I need a list to to remember all the lists I have listed of the lists im on.

 

[Marine Cpl]

You've been a good sport Pod. Now let's get back to talking guns.

 

[HighlandLofts]

My Smith 642 works as my every day carry gun and my around the house gun, but I prefer revolvers over semis any day of the week.

 

[Marine Cpl]

I believe in the whole train with what you carry and carry what you train with so in all seriousness, just get a good holster and you'll be fine. Muscle memory is everything when things happen fast

You can always go via the retention holster around the house. Even when you get used to drawing from it, if you screw up and draw the same way when you are out and about with your regular holster by accident, the gun would still end up in your hand properly.

 

[Frankly]

I didn't read every word but it sounds like your going to have three very different pistols for defensive bumps in the night and you're worried you might screw up the manual of arms when you're stressed and/or groggy.

Hmm.

Maybe you shouldn't get stressed or groggy? Or, umm, rectify your pistol choices?

 

[Frankly]

I don't use my hands to work either....

 

[zzrguy]

When I open carry in Tennessee I carry a full size 1911 cocked and locked the sweep to get a grip on the gun my thumb naturally off the safety

You're exactly right. I'm forgoing use of the shield as an around the house gun for something with a passive safety. Was also kinda trying to get people's feelings on a subcompact vs standard size gun floor the job

 

[Jem45472]

Probably the best "passive safety" would be dual action only. It's not going to unintentionally go off. How about a revolver?

I did order a Sig P250 compact. That could fit the bill

 

[Justincase]

Okay, glad you dig em, many do. I don't like XDs, never have, never will. To me the grip feel like holding onto a cheese grater.

I agree that the XDs feels awful. Didn't like that at all, but the XD Mod .2 felt great.

 

[MikeM]

My xds 9 feels great, as does my full xd9. My xds45 is too pebble and hurts my hand. But size makes it a great concealed carry.
