So there is only two k5 diesels in a thousand miles. One is to expensive (13k). The other is a .mil model that's all sorts of busted (but only 1k). Fuck  Meh. It's hard to kill an M-1009. That and old Blazer's are stupid-easy to rebuild. For the money you save, you could install new suspension, drivetrain, powertrain, and electrical and probably still have a grand or two leftover. If you go that far then I'd suggest just doing a body-off and swapping the frame as well. It's time and money well spent. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
What do y'all think about 380 as a carry caliber? I'd only use it as a primary in the most uncommon of circumstances (i.e. When I'm going for maximum concealment). It's a great backup pistol though because it's so easy to incorporate into your existing EDC getup. I don't currently have a .380, but I used to have a P3AT; and while I didn't find the quality to be overwhelming, it was still a pretty easy CCW piece. Eta: you're probably already aware, but .380 HP's are silly. Load it up with decent quality FMJ's so that it's capable of some reasonable measure of penetration. |

Ive been looking at the 42, and got a chance to shoot it. I really like it. I would go 43, but obviously thats going to be a while. With the weather warming up I cant exactly keep carrying my current carry gun... an FNX 45.
Id like something I can appendix carry in shots or even on athletic shorts so i can run with it. basically leaves me with super compacts like the shield, 42, and 43. the 42 shoots nice and I like it better than the shield. Is 380 vastly inferior to 9mm?

If you want a ultra/subcompact for use as a primary then I'd recommend looking at 9mm and above. |

Keltec PF9 Kimber Solo carry Ruger lc9 Sig P938 Shield If you hate all of the above, then get a .380. No commercial .380 loading that i know of currently meets all the FBI criteria. Not saying it won't work, but pistol rounds already suck without getting one that doesn't meet the bare minnimum criteria for lethality. |

If you want a ultra/subcompact for use as a primary then I'd recommend looking at 9mm and above. Since it's been getting warmer I've been carrying my 3.3" XD-S .45 (pre-recall, I live dangerously ). I'm currently wearing it at 4 o'clock in a Tagua leather pancake holster with the extended 7 round mag inserted and two 5 round mags on a Galco mag holder @ 9 o'clock, all totally concealed with only a T-shirt. It's a great little pistol at .9" wide and accurate to boot. They make a 9mm version now in both 3.3" or 4" as I recall and it holds a few more rounds than my .45 does.
I'd absolutely recommend one of these pistols, though there are a myriad of other brands and models that will do the same job just as effectively. |
