My late wife appropriated my S&W Model 681 after I put a Crimson Trace grip on it. She kept it loaded with Remington .38 Spl +P 125 gr SJHPs & used it to kill 2 coyotes in the back yard. Sent with some arcane communications device.

With a good belt, a pancake/IWB holster, & a Hawaiian shirt, & I can conceal a 4" K-frame or a 5" M&P9 2.0. I'm 5'8" & weigh 170 lbs. Sent with some arcane communications device.

Update to #1915 above. I gave the SD9 to my grandson after I bought this M&P9 2.0 5" FDE w/ambidextrous manual safety. This is one of my EDCs. Sent with some arcane communications device.

I gave my SD9 (all black w/fiber optic sights from Academy) to my grandson after I bought an M&P9 2.0 5 inch FDE. The SD9 was my EDC for just a short while because I grew up on M1911A1s and (mostly) S&W revolvers and, by God, semiautomatics need manual safeties. Sent with some arcane...

My old 2" S&W Model 12-2 has a bit more "honest wear" than my comfort zone. In other words, most of the black anodizing on the top of the frame is gone. I'm considering Cerakoting it even though I've retired it to the safe. Satan & Bubba have nothing to do with it. Sent with some arcane...

Okay. I have purchased 4 handguns since I started this mess (none at Academy) and have had zero issues. Last 2 guns: Sent with some arcane communications device.

Captain of the security detail at city hall when I retired. Sent with some arcane communications device.

Bought this S&W M&P9 2.0 5" FDE 2 weeks ago with a total of four 17-round magazines & received the "JustHolsterIt" IWB in the mail on Friday. I ordered the holster with a "claw" for AIWB, but it was too long to wear that way. Worn at 3:30, this is my new EDC. Sent with some arcane...

1. S&W M&P9 2.0 5" FDE. M-12 GI holster & Just Holster It Protector Plus (I removed the "claw" because the gun is too long for me to carry appendix.) Waiting for an Alien Gear shell to modify a cloak holster. 2. Ruger EC9s. CYA IWB. 3. Grand Power Stribog SP9A1. I added a Magpul loop on the rear...

Did you get to keep the Model 10 and leather duty gear? Sent with some arcane communications device.

Does the purse match your shoes? XD Sent with some arcane communications device.

I carry Federal HSTs in my Taurus 856, but, after the first 6, reloads will be Speer 135 grain "Short Barrel" because the HSTs don't go into the cylinder quickly due to their wadcutter profile. Sent with some arcane communications device.

I'll pass on the .500, thanks. I did fire a cylinder full of .357 Magnums from a 340PD one time, just the once. Sent with some arcane communications device.

These are Bianchi Lightning grips made by Pachmayr. They came out just as most PDs made the switch to semiautomatics & didn't last too long. I carried this off-duty & in plainclothes. I the Model 13-3 to my son-in-law last year.

With the .30 Super Carry you get near 9x19mm power with a 20% increase in magazine capacity. I'm happy with my 9x19mms, .38 Spls/.357 Mags, but then I look at my Grand Power String SP9A1 30-round magazines & imagine 36-round magazines the same length... No, I will no go down that road...
