Re: Women's Concealed Carry
The pm9 is nice... I like the small frame, but I've actually never handled a gun that small before. I guess it just depends on what you're used to!
Does your girlfriend carry in her purse, or on-body? Where does she find to be the best place to holster it? I imagine that small frame is MUCH easier to conceal than my G23!!!

For a Monday our district was quiet but our neighboring district was going nuts (as it is usually the wild west in our neighboring district).
Problem is; the two areas she frequents are also the two areas with the most tourism which in turn results in more crime (person and property crime).

Does John have any recommendations for you? He must work with some female officers/detectives on his shift, maybe he can ask what they would recommend for you..?
I saw this thread in passing through BBR tonight and since I know John, I thought I'd ask...  |

Even in the case of the misfire you just got to pull the trigger again - and next round will go. I don't care what that article says, you better be careful believing that crap. Depends upon the type of mis-fire. If the primer fires, it leaves the bullet jammed in the barrel. The next shot blows the gun up...and maybe blinds or kills you.
In a panic-situation, you won't comprehend the meaning of a low-noise primer firing.

True, although you should note that it's not a revolver-specific problem; anything from a revolver to a bolt action rifle to a semi-auto handgun can potentially encounter a squib round. An ammo thing, unrelated to the host firearm.
On that note, have you seen this before? Scary.

I have to ask: how can people victimize themselves? Unless, of course, you mean something along the lines of the "New Sheriff" scene from Blazing Saddles.

said by RR Conductor :Oh, just wondering why she wants to carry on, is New Orleans that dangerous now? How about but because is her constitutional right to carry!
How about because is a free(somewhat) country, and people have the right choose to protect themselves if they want to!
To OP.
The Kahr are not bad to shoot, i have no experience with the PM9, but i can tell you the P9 and K9 series are very well made and very accurate.
Another thing to mentioned is to make sure you get some night sights installed.
Train, train, and train some more.
And a gun wont help anyone that does not have the right mindset. ie why do you need to carry, or why not just pepper spray. |

Actually no, most of the female officers here wear their sidearms on the outside waste band and just throw a baggy shirt over their sidearms.
Most of the ladies are either uniformed officers or detectives. Some of them when off duty they wear pants with ankle holsters. Others just don't carry on their person.
I've been asking around though.

I can imagine that after 12+ hours on a shift, that some officers want to just leave the job at the job and not want to carry the enormous moral and ethical responsibility that carrying a gun 24/7 would bring.
But then there's probably also some who carry in a shoulder holster as well as their backup an ankle holster everywhere they go......
Comfort level maybe?? |
