of course they go for full sticker now...I'm thinking of owning one... ;~`) It's my special gun magic, I guess.

I think you will be impressed! Nm. (reply)

Same here - the harder I try the poorer I hit (reply)

Squaring up the rear of the slide works pretty well. The AMT Backup I used to have was that way. I think Jim Cirillo pushed that technique. I did put a laser on my LCP which helps too.

I hit OK with mine... (reply)

by just shoving the slide up front of the the target and pulling trigger straight back, all at once. This works OK in good light or just enough light to confirm that the slide is square on to whatever you're shooting at. At least that's how I adapted to the machine and it gets me quick, sure hits to about 25 yards.

My LCP has been 100% reliable. It is the easiest carrying semi-serious pocket gun I've ever tried and it's even fairly accurate. But its sights are indeed pitiful. I don't have much money in mine and I'm seriously considering filing the front sight off, center-drilling the slide and tapping it for the smallest tritium shotgun sight I can find. Something along these lines, but with headlights-

The sights on the LCP are AWFUL too (reply)

Very good point. I love that red fiber optic front.

How small is the Springfield XDs 45 - well.... (reply)

Art — Wed, 25 Jun 2014 23:27:53 +0000

And much better trigger then the LCP. I have the 9MM XDs and put the pinky extensions on the mags. I love it.

I get to shoot so rarely anymore I'm drastically cutting back on gun buying. I could almost settle for this small 938, a couple .357's and a few rifles for the rest of my life.

I should pick be up, but I have been on a bit of a gun buying hiatus.

Agreed! (reply)

A pistol has that square corner that doesn't feel as comfortable in AIWB carry. The grip on the revolver naturally follows the contour of the waistline when you sit and lacks the obtrusive back-of-slide corner. I've almost fully convinced myself that a 4" .357 is my first line of defense if I need a handgun for serious work. It was good enough for Jordan, Skeeter and a host of others who's lives depended on a serious gun. I've never wanted to carry a backup but lately I've thought it might be a good idea so this 938 gets the nod. There are times it's my only carry gun but if I felt I was definitely going into harm's way I'm going first with a .357.

rob — Sun, 22 Jun 2014 02:15:28 +0000

It hasn't left my side since I picked it up. It's small enough that when I want to carry my go-to .357 it can tag along as a backup.

938... (reply)

Jared — Sun, 22 Jun 2014 02:05:42 +0000

The 938 has intrigued me, but I never bought one. I do like my XDs

It is smaller than my M&P compact - completely covers it (reply)

The thing that kills that size auto for me is that hunk sticking out past the Smiths hammer. I've had a handful of 'pocket' nines and while the fit in the same size box As a J frame and are as thin or thinner, they just don't pocket carry well for me. A buddy had a Glock 36, but sold of because it was the same size as his G19. Less power, yes, but more than double the capacity more than makes up for it! I figure if I'm going to put a gun in a belt holster, for serious social use, I'm going with a full or at least mid sized gun that carries as many bullets as possible! No spray and pray for me, but it seems like these days, groups of bad guys are more the norm.

I've said this before but... (reply)

rob — Sun, 22 Jun 2014 01:03:36 +0000

It bears repeating...If Glock would ever come out with a mid and full sized .45 in single stack and as thin as the G36, I'd go pick up one of each right now and keep them for life. I like the 36 a lot but prefer a bit longer barrel and a little more capacity than the 36 and XDs. I just can't shoot the double stack 45 Glocks well but the guns are excellent if a bit on the homely side.

938... (reply)

rob — Sun, 22 Jun 2014 00:51:13 +0000

Surprisingly easy to shoot even in 9mm.

I started to buy one... (reply)

rob — Sun, 22 Jun 2014 00:35:41 +0000

Still might, but with a Sig P938 I really don't need another small gun. However, I really like the little XDs and while I didn't think I'd like the two tone, the one I almost bought was two tone and I really fell in love with it in the store. It was very hard to walk away from it. I may still pick one up later but I'm still trying to outfit the 938 right now with extra mags, just bought a White Hat Mini-Tuck (waiting impatiently for it to show up) and next will be a set of XS Big Dot Express sights. If not a 45 XDs for me, I've already got the wife looking hard at them in 9mm and I'm sure one of those will come home soon. I love the red front fiber optic sight!

If it works for you, it's perfect. I thought the 30s was IT, (reply)

Rob Leahy — Sun, 22 Jun 2014 00:30:03 +0000

but it just isn't, for me. And I find myself carrying a 1911 more than any other.

I fiddled with Officers & officer clones for years... (reply)

Kind of what I was trying to say, but you said it better. I have every spare part available for the gun and spent maybe over one hundred dollars.

The one kink of the 36 which seems to pop up on forums is a sporadic FTE and generally cured by going to a sharper and better shaped non-LCI extractor
