New CC gun

[Chief]

Not much of a CC but for my nightstand, "The Judge" will do!

I went with the sw9 over the ruger. Absolutely love it. I'm sure the sr9 is a good gun but as someone said, once you've narrowed it down to a couple, feel in the hand is key. The gun is starting to shoot straight now too.

Is the SW9 too big for CC?

Did you have to slap it around a bit?

The Shield and compact models are made for CC- the others can be a bit cumbersome if they're kept in a pocket or some hidden holsters. Shorter barrel doesn't really matter if the "Rule of threes" occurs- the shooting happens most often at 3', in three seconds, with three shots fired.

So what you're saying is this one might be a bit cumbersome to carry?

Looks like the .88 Magnum Joe Piscopo carried in 'There Goes Johnny, Dangerously'.

One thing to always remember, there is no such thing as a one shot-drop gun, even a shotgun if it hits the right spot. PCP, meth, etc all induce no pain, extreme strength rage in a person. I have heard from LE friends of a shot to the heart (exploding) and the guy still comes till the brain dies and bleeds out.

You can't go wrong with the 870, I've had this 870 Express Magnum with 20" factory rifled barrel for years, shoots slugs and shot.

(Lil Sheridan)- "So, what's your name?"
(Johnny)- "Johnny- Johnny Dangerously"
(Lil Sheridan)- "Did you know your name is an adverb?"
