To get back on topic, I prefer a 36 to 45 caliber pocket gun if I
need it. So I've got some J frames (442 & 640's) for revolvers.
In 9mm I've got some Kahr CM-9's for pistols. As far as 40's go,
the Shield works fine. Another one would be the Glock 23. Both
of these are a little big but in the winter up here you can't see
them when you're wearing a Parka.
The 45 is a Star PD I got in the 70's. It's just a hardball gun but it
runs fine.
I did buy a StarBM and it's verra, verra nice. Based on the caveats
I see for ammunition use I wonder how the Guardia Civil got non-
Nato Spec ammunition for it.
I'm trying to decide how to put it
in my winter coat & I"ve still got about 6 weeks to figure that out.
