Is that “Active Self Protection”?

I am honestly sad that the Shadow 2 is a DA/SA with safety only. But with that being said it has to do with the gun being a competition driven gun and having a decocker would give it a worse trigger (may still be fantastic but not as good as a safety) it's also doesnt have a firing pin block.. but then again that's why there is the SP-01..

I had a first run version. The mag release was the biggest problem. Was darn near impossible to actuate. The new version honestly isn't much better, but there's replacements that work as they should. I have one but didn't install it yet. The slide release was a problem as well and they rectified that.The striker would tilt in the channel and would hang up I think. I got rid of the first P10 I bought and got a newer version and all the problems were fixed for the most part (mag release).
I thought you only got a DD214 when you were out as in retired or did your time. Sorry for misunderstanding. Do it to it then man, but ixnay on the having someone buy it then gift it to you. Just wait. Prices will go down soon anyway. And by the time you are able to buy it on your own, they'll likely have an updated version that you'll "just gotta have". Or you can get the current version even cheaper as a result.
Yes.
With 2 combat tours in Afghanistan and 1 in Iraq, I can tell you that alot of training goes away the first time you get shot at for real. NO training gets you ready for that. Youre lucky to even get the weapon shouldered properly.
After a few firefights though, your training comes back and mofos go down.
National Guard is different, when u get shipped to BCT/AIT they put u on active duty orders and to get you off those orders they have to give you a DD214 and they discharge you temporarily and either the recruiter gets you back in or your unit does but anyways I’m in possession of DD214’s. And at this current rate it looks like everyone is sold out of them so I will indeed have to wait.

Regarding carrying full sizes or compacts, I am 5’7 180 lbs. My first carry was a full sized Colt Series 70. Yeah. I was able to conceal it. But to do so properly, I had to dress around it. Some form fitting t-shirts worked and some that were tighter didn’t. That full sized grip was the main problem.
In certain areas, printing doesn’t matter. In some areas it does. You can lose your job if your boss see’s a print in a no guns in the workplace type of place. It can become a serious issue when you enter an area that you aren’t supposed to and concealed is no longer concealed like in schools or post offices and your grip is poking out
Then comes the weight issue. Some guys don’t mind the weight. Some do. If you weigh a buck 30, that brick gets tiresome. The first thing most end up doing is taking it off when entering a car on a long trip. Then back on when exiting. Some times it’s left at home because all you are going to do is run to Dunkin Donuts and just don’t want to deal with putting on a rig that will support it properly.
To put things into perspective, my lady will leave a Glock subcompact at home but will take her Ruger .380 everywhere she goes now. Why? Because it’s easy to carry. Just slip it appendix on her waistband with no belt. She doesn’t even feel it anymore.
There are always exceptions and some guys will carry a Glock 17 with every dodad attached to it but most including including guys that carry for a living do so with a subcompact.

I agree with everything you say here.
My point is that alot of gun people will insist that your first gun must be a sub compact because full size cannot be concealed properly.
Ive carried a full size gun now for over 3 years on a daily basis and hide it fine.
I spend alot of time with some friends of ours. Just recently I told the girl that I carry everywhere.
She was amazed that she had never noticed. We even went to Darien Lake amusement park and rode rides all day. I had my GP100 on my side all day......even on the water rides. She said, "oh, I wondered why you kept your shirt on for the water rides."
And yes, I wore a big ass GP100 on water slides. I wasnt gonna trust their lockers.
