Do you reliably carry? It seems like everyone is gung ho about carrying at first but it ultimately fades into "I'll just leave it in the truck..." or "maybe not today". Is the solution just carrying a smaller gun?
>>64415167Yep. Throw it in your pocket and go about your day. Can't beat it
>>64415167is this a good piece anons? The current production one
>>64415167Yeah, if you want things to get done consistently, reducing friction works. Otherwise, you need to increase your enthusiasm for carrying so that it's enough to overcome the friction.
>>64415167Exactly. I carry my LCP every single day because it's so light and concealable.
>>64415167That was my thinking. I used to wear a holster but eventually just bought a pocket pistol, and it's much more convenient.
P2K erry day. I never leave the house without it.
>>64415167>Is the solution just carrying a smaller gun?Yeah, pretty much. You can carry a bigger gun if you dress around it or just don't mind a bit of discomfort, but why bother? It's pretty unlikely you'll ever need you gun in the first place, it's extremely unlikely you'll ever be in a situation where you need a gun AND specifically a duty-sized handgun with 15+ rounds on tap. I pocket carry a Bodyguard 380 most days. Sometimes a P365 IWB if I feel the need.
>>64415342It's not the same for everyone.Depending on where you carry and jeans ride height/how much sitting you do, a slightly larger gun can pardoxically conceal better because the barrel guides it into place. For me the P365 eventually shifted around and dug into my leg or started printing, but ever so slightly larger guns stay in place and there's less overall discomfort.Revolvers have their place in comfort as well. The center of mass is closer to the belt and they can use more compact holsters, or no holster at all if you're just a little retarded. +Overmolded grips make printing look like a wrinkle instead of a gun.
I carry a p22q in my front right pocket. no light, no optic, no burr coffee grinder so I that I don't get fine particles in my french roast. Maybe I'll get fucking smoked for not shooting competitions and carrying a crackhead 9mm with more doodads than the fucking space shuttle. Maybe those stopping power simps are right and I'll get smoked because I don't carry a .500 SW Magnum....I highly doubt it though.
Either that, or you get used to carrying it. I can't since my workplace doesn't allow it, so I carry some pepper spray.
I just carry whats fits the situation the best.I have holsters for>S&W 638 (Pocket)>Beretta 92 and 1911 (M12 holster)>S&W Shield plus (Pocket and IWB>S&W 686 (IWB)>Glock 19 Gen 5 (multiple IWBs)I've been thinking of buying more OWB holsters since OC is finally legal in my state and a pocket holster for my PPK
>>64415402you can't carry a pocket?
>>64415167Why does this gun have so many copies?? Some of which are somehow worse
>>64415428There's always a chance, as in above zero, that the fucking grip will pop out and some fucker will say:>"Hey anon, watcha got in your pocket?"I lost a job that way, but man it was a job I wanted to leave so badly and I even got plenty of covidbucks from the unemployment.
>>64415437I have no idea what you're talking about lol
>>64415437I remember carrying it w/ me while working at some shitty retail store. Never trusted the people there.
>>64415443Nigger I lost a job before because I carried to work when I wasn't supposed toFun fact, I was carrying two guns that day and the pocket gun was a backup
>>64415288Yes. It's cheap, unimpressive, trigger is shit, but it weighs nothing, it's tiny, and it's very reliable. If you take to shooting it for fun you'll eventually need to replace the recoil spring guide rod around 1k, at which point you switch to a steel one. (I think they're still shipping with plastic ones anyway) If you're a pro gaymer you can use aftermarket Ruger LCP triggers, the fat aluminum triggers are a nice upgrade. Run FMJ, no 32 JHP reliably expands or penetrates from the 2.7" barrel.
>>64415463Howd they find out

It became instinctive for me, it's a gen 2 glock 19 that I bought in college for $200 from a pawn shopOver a loose t shirt with an IWB holster it seems to mostly disappear. Really every season aside from summer is easy I could change it up to something smaller but I dunno it just feels natural now.

When it is sweater weather I carry either a glock 19 appendix with a tlr8.or a glock 34 or a 4" 629 owb when i want to feel pretty and wear a big jacket.
>>64415696if they arrest you you'll just sue them and become a millionere
>>64415902lol, lmao even.
>>64415402Where do you work that doesn't allow guns? Unless its some high security facility with metal detectors, fuck them
>>64415167Yes, and it's a p32. It's an absolutely legendary carry piece at under 10oz loaded. Nothing even comes close. I also keep a px4 sub in the truck, but I very rarely carry it on person. Mostly for potential road rage and gas stations. 29 oz loaded. My middle ground gun is a 32 J frame, 14.5 oz loaded. I carry that quite often because the p32 only really works in the pocket and a proper AIWB setup is more effective than pocket carry. It's kind of awkward logistically, but it's good to have options.
>>64415167This is what I'm getting next. 9mm 15rds weighs 1lb loaded
I feel naked without my LCP in my pocket. I can't go out without it.
>>64417414The P15 looks sexy in green too
>>64415295I used a buddy's LCP at the range and managed to get good results with it, despite the trigger. Guns like this are very practical carry pieces, but they need a LOT of draw practice because they're so small.
Paul harrell swore by carrying a 25 auto
>>64417414You can get a vastly better gun for another $100 or so.
>>64418114I added an MCARBO flat trigger, grip extension, and a HandALL grip to my LCP.
>>64418460Have you ever shot a p32? It's noticeably smaller than an LCP and shoots very well despite it's diminutive size. Fully loaded it is still lighter than an empty LCP. No cool triggers for it though unfortunately, and if you don't desire anything lighter, the LCP is a great choice. I was personally shocked by how truly tiny the p32 is in comparison and I think it's in a class of it's own as a result of being designed around the 32 acp.
>>64417414I love my p32, I think it's the best carry gun in the world. That being said, I have zero interest in any of their other offerings, and this is a prime example. Have you ever shot a 16oz 9mm? It's not exactly something you want to do a lot of, especially when it's so slim. I would recommend a BG 2.0 over that if capacity is a huge concern. You'll shoot it much better and you'll actually enjoy your range sessions, which goes a long way to getting better.
>>64415902You need a few hundred thousand dollars or so to fight them in the courts.
>>64417758>>64418141>>64418510George Kelgren is the John Browning of the 21st centuryAlso 2.75" barrel, no thanks
>>64418141What would that be?
>>64417414Fucking horrible gun, and I'm a giant faggot for Kel-Tec and regularly suck off George in my dreams. The P15 is trash, terrible to shoot, terrible to live with. There are much better guns that are similar in size and weight.
>>64417400>It's kind of awkward logistically, but it's good to have optionsId ditch the subcompact px4. It isn't doing anything for you in your rotation. You've already got deep and edc concealment covered.I'd honestly step up to a full size 327 magnum revolver. 32 revolvers can shoot some 32 acp so you'd have full ammo compatibility then.>But I need a 9mmMeh not really. I've got one and we waffle about selling it all the time. The ammo availability thing is a meme with online shopping and it wasn't in stock during the scamdemic while 32 was so I don't think the argument holds water. What you've got is what you've got imo. I'm thinking of going to a 22lr snub and a 500 S&W for my min max. It'll do everything I need with those two pistols.
>>64418510>I love my p32, I think it's the best carry gun in the world. That being said, I have zero interest in any of their other offeringsSame same. The P32 is the goat. It wouldn't be my only gun in a 1 gun or you die and op is a faggot scenario, I'd want a 22lr, but it's one I absolutely would have in any real life scenario.
>>64418912I think the 9mm is a necessity. I have options for 13, 15, 17, 18 and 21 rounds mags. Cheaper ammo, etc. Realistically, it society does break down, we probably won't be carrying rifles so a good 9mm is a great thing to keep around. It's mostly in a bag or in the truck as a more capable option if I feel the need. My real fall back is 9mm,22lr and 556. The 32 snubbie is my normal rule of law functioning society EDC . It's a luxury piece highly dependent upon the vulnerable support chain, but one I find great value in given that times are relatively good and I can get ammo. I do see the merit in your min maxing strategy, and I do try to adhere to a similar mindset. At one point, I did think 38/357 would do everything I need, and realistically it could, but I have a tiered system that gives me a lot of options instead, while still being able to fall back on the basics if I need to without losing much capability.
i open carry one of these on the range i work at
id like to see keltec make an even slightly smaller one in .25acp
>>64418915Yeah I was thinking about that, and I agree, a 22 would be better, but the fantasy, last man alive scrounging for ammo like a fallout character is just that, a fantasy. Either way, for a day to day piece, you can't beat the p32 at what it does. 8 rounds, 10 oz loaded, minimal recoil, safe trigger. I would absolutely love if they made a gen 3 with a flat trigger, decent sights and perhaps some nice extended baseplates, but to me personally, concealed carry was solved over a quarter century ago when keltec released the p32 and S&W released the 332 air-lite series.
>>64418460I ended up buying the LCPII, which has a much improved stock trigger and better integral sights. It's a good shooter.
>>64419129I would like to see it. It's crazy, everyone who bypasses the "anything below 9mm is useless" filter absolutely loves this gun, yet it's still only a cult favorite with a vocal fan base. You would think keltec would follow up on it but it's just there, defiantly 20th century in it's design approach and aesthetics, still going strong after all these years, even beloved by avid shooters who are well skilled.
>>64418684Lol, I looked up prices and realized it's even worse than I thought. You can get good G19 clones, a trade-in G19, and various non-shitty imports at the same price point that are better than this. Shop around.
>>64419137If you haven't tried it yet, the BG2.0 is the first small gun of note to come out since the P32 and P3AT. As an avid lover of tiny guns there is just nothing else out there that comes close, it's by far the best gun ever made that I would call "pocket-size", though obviously it's much bigger than the P32. Personally I keep the BG2.0 in my front pocket and a P32 in the coin pocket above it, because memes.
>>64415167You're far down the line of CCing when you realize convenience is a priority. I started pocket carrying exclusively and now I don't have to worry about printing, can carry to family events and dates without someone noticing, I've been patted down and got into clubs with it, don't reach for something on a shelf then walk around the grocery store with my gun now exposed, and don't get stopped by overzealous mall security. All of those have actually happened. Just pocket carry and you never get caught.
>>64419159Which of these is similar in dimensions and weight to the P15?
>>64415167>Is the solution just carrying a smaller gun?It was for me. I was even already carrying small, Ruger LC9, and i hated carrying it, so now i carry a P32. shit is so cash
>>64419171I considered it but went with a brace of 32 J frames instead.
>>64415167M&P Shield gen 1 gang gangWould like more than 8 rounds though but single stack is cool
>>64415167I've been concealed carrying more regularly. It seems to me that people have generally become more outwardly vicious. Never know when someone is going to get homicidal road rage or something stupid. Before I would only CC when transiting rough areas, but now I always have my Makarov on me.
>>64419669>MakarovBased combloc enjoyer
>>64419674First gun I ever shot when I was around 4 or so, it was my dad's I cut the shit out of my thumb shooing it because I held it wrong and it made me not want to shoot guns for a while until I got into it in my teens, when I turned 18 my dad let me keep it.
>>64415167Yes, I don't go to work, the gas station, the grocery store, church, the post office, the bank, the mall, for a walk around the neighborhood, or anywhere else unarmed.In the summertime when clothing is lighter I carry my Ruger LCP in 380 in my basketball shorts and when the weather gets colder and heavier clothing like jackets are required it's my 9mm M&P and 2 extra mags.
>>64419669>>64419716based makarov enjoyer. I picked up one in .380 thinking it was going to be a crappy Saturday night special, but it turned out to be a very reliable little gun. The finish is wearing off and part of the grip has a little bit of surface rust on it, debating whether to retire it after five years of daily CC or refinishing it.
>>64418683Kel-tec is indeed innovative, but they tend to cheap out so much on the manufacturing process that the end product is sub-par. Kind of like Soviet/Russian weapons.>>64419319Size-wise they're all a bit bigger, except maybe the Taurus G2C, a gun which is known to be durable. None of them weigh less, and that's a good thing. I mean come on, that thing is slapped together like a Harbor Freight bit driver. They couldn't even use a monolithic slide and put a plastic bit on the rear to shave off a few dollars/ounces. But go ahead and be Kel-Tec's beta tester if you want. What's the worst thing that could happen?
>>64417414Bought mine for 200 new. Insane deal if ya ask me. Looking to sell it though, really wanting the all metal version instead.

>>64415167i carry my lcp max to work everyday. in my personal time, it's either the lcp max or hellcat 9mm.there's a few times when i cant or dont want to carry (going into police stations, courthouse, etc) and i always hate the feeling of not carrying.
>>64415505I carry an LCP II with one of those every time I leave the house. It's super convenient. You can be in a 90 degree heat in a t-shirt and gym shorts and nobody can tell you're carrying
>>64415167Now I do, used to be a lot more sporadic since I carried larger, heavier handguns like a full size M&P 2.0, a TPR9, and a Model 65. Tried a CSX, didn't like it. Actually carried a 686 daily and always had it in arms reach but I realized 2 things one day: 1) I spend a lot of time outside at night for my job and prefer to travel at night and 2) The 686 is an awful gun to try and shoot in the dark, it'd likely render me deaf and blind if I had to use it. As a result I moved to a Shield Plus, less likely to blind and deafen me and has the ability to mount a light, plus is lighter while holding twice the shots. Much like its predecessor it never leaves my side but now it's much easier to keep handy
I carry my full size. Just find a carry method that's most comfortable for you. Appendix isn't for everyone, maybe you're a 3 or 4 o clock guy. It really matters.

>>64424327If yer gonna .38, at least go full retard and get pic rel
I carry most of the time a 32 S&W Iver Johnson Safety Automatic. It is much smaller than a P-32 and slides into literally any pocket.If I could I would carry a HK MK23 but I am still hunting for the right deal.
>>64425617Beyond miserable to shoot.
>>64415167I found that pocket carry works for me. It is sub optimal for many tactical reasons, but if the added comfort means that I have a gun on me where I otherwise wouldn't then t's worth it.Usually a Ruger LCP or a S&W J frame, but the new Bodyguard 2.0 is calling me.>>64415288Good enough. They aren't pleasant to shoot, but they are very small. The S&W Bodyguard 2.0 is compelling due to significantly better magazine capacity in a similar form factor and better shooting characteristics. That said, you can pick up old KTs and Rugers for just over $100 all day so they make a good CC gun if you are poor.
>>64425656>It is much smaller than a P-32 and slides into literally any pocket.There's nfw. Post it.
>>64415167>Is the solution just carrying a smaller gun?Yes. Too many people try to conceal carry a large powerful handgun and this is simply awkward, requiring a change in wardrobe with oversize floppy shirts to keep it concealed (and thus the person looks like a sloppy wigger) but concealed carry is all about concealability and ease of carry, so that you've ALWAYS got the gun on you. A gun that's too big and thus ends up sitting in the gun safe, is worse than useless.I've been carrying since the late 1990s and initially, my carry gun was a Glock 23 but that only lasted a week, as it was just too big, bulky and heavy so I switched to a .380 Makarov for about a month but even that was too big, bulky and heavy, so I bought a North American Arms .32 Guardian and a pocket holster and have been carrying that ever since.I'm not going on a building clearing mission slotting zerg rushing floopies in Fallujah, I'll be defending myself from a random basketball American trying to mug me at a gas station at arms length away and in that situation, it's more than enough gun.
>>64416763NTA, but I work on airplanes and they're pretty strict about not bringing guns onto passenger aircraft. >We used to be a real country.They also don't want us to even keep firearms in our cars in the parking lot but good luck enforcing that.
>>64415167Pocket carry is the answer. Most comfortable, least hassle, and you still have plenty of gun. Unless you are a women without pockets or a faggot that wears skin tight pants, there is no reason to not pocket carry something. It can be a J frame, a P32, a Bodyguard 2, or whatever youre little heart desires. Some people Pocket carry larger guns too. I have a Smith EZ 380 in a vedder pocket holster and it works well for me, since I tend to wear cargo pants or shorts.
>>64415437"Oh, that's my car keys. The damn FOB's battery died so I have to press it into. . ."They lose interest quick. This isn't really an issue if you aren't an awkward faggot that can't speak to people without stuttering.
>>64416763>Where do you work that doesn't allow guns?Unless you work in a gun store, no employer is going to let you carry on the property, there's too much legal liability.
>>64415167Pocket carrying a compact in a pocket holster every single day everywhere you go is the answer. Never leave a weapon in your car. Even if you live in the middle of nowhere you risk it being stolen and being used in some type of crime even a murder and you just don't want that on your conscience or even if you don't care you just shouldn't to look after society.>>64426302A lot of employers actually do. Definitely not most big corporations but a lot of small businesses do. It's pretty unlikely unless the boss is a gun person though.

>>64426361sounds fun
>>64415167still carry my 23.5 every day, its a matter of mental fortitude
>>64415167>Is the solution just carrying a smaller gun?Honestly yeah, a smaller gun helps a LOT, though you have to consider your own environment, clothing etc too. But like a lot of things, EDC is ultimately about habits, consistency breeds habitual consistency and any obstacles, even seemingly small ones, that break you out of that "just this once" can snowball in a hurry.Smaller guns do make everything easier, in terms of both printing and comfort, at the tradeoff of less capability and often being shitty to shoot much. But fortunately self-defense is almost exclusively ultra close range. And environments where you need more (like if you're going to go innawoods in an area with problem bears) don't have the same requirements for concealment so you can take a full size instead.
>>64427434>problem bearsI want to add it to the list
>>64426335I was able to open carry at my job on a college campus. Sounds like you just live in a shitty state for cucks
feel free to add anything.
>>64427571The P32 is recoil operated rather than blowback so it will have less recoil despite being the lightest.The Beretta Tomcat isn't all steel. The frame is aluminum and it will crack and die after a while.NAA Guardian has a spring for the trigger that breaks easily, but is otherwise pretty solid.
>>64427571Are you trying to make this but worse? This is the newest version I have and it's a PDF with no attribution on it so I don't know if newer versions exist.
>>64427681yeah mine is an updated list of currently produced pocket pistols that you can get any time. I forgot to include kahr tho
>>64427678What's the difference? Blowback isn't recoil?
Nevermind. Short recoil = tilting barrel. I didn't know the terminology.
>>64415167only embarrassing tactical timmy pussies need to carry full size pistols with an extra mag. An LCP or a j frame is plenty for basically anything
>>64415295This.
>>64415437Second phone for my second girlfriend.
>>64415167I carry 100% of the time unless I'm going to a theme park, water park, etc., or specifically going out to drink. I used to carry either my glock 17 or one of my other full size handguns in a leather holster that I had to thread the belt through, until that got annoying. Then I carried my .38 snubby in a paddle holster for a long time, but recently I've gotten into the IWB trend and found it to be quite comfortable at 4 o clock. Now I typically carry my glock 45 mos with acro and tlr7, and only sometimes still rock out the snub nose.
>>64426402>Do you shoot your guardian much?lol, no.It's painful to shoot despite being made of stainless, as you can only hold it with your middle finger and thumb (and I'm a manlet) but at point-blank range where a CPL-type shooting it most likely to occur, this is acceptable.
>>64428014not necessarily, the beretta 92 is short recoil but uses a falling block design. but yes, all tilting barrel guns are short recoil.
>>64415437least autistic pocket gun fan
>>64427995Blowback actions have a large amount of reciprocating mass which increases the "perceived" recoil. The energy of the same loading is constant but the human experience of it varies widely.
>>64429240So what would those weirdo rotating barrels be? /hg/ is always shilling the storm. It's like Langdon tactical has a dedicated spambot.
>>64431200also short recoil
>>64415167Trouble is almost always visible from a distance and there are clear signs for like 20 min before shit happens
i just bought a used one for $129.99 before tax. what should i do to it besides cleaning then shooting it
As I get older I realize I'm not carrying to shoot attackers, I'm carrying to evade being captured alive.
>>64431851based and they'll never take me alive pilled
>>64415167>Is the solution just carrying a smaller gun?Yes. Pocket carry is awesome because it’s so easy and you don’t have to change your wardrobe. Not that subcompacts are hard to carry, but pocket guns don’t even bother you. Also why I got a P32. It’s awesome.
>>64431444Kel-Tec usually has parts available, and they're usually the cheapest place to get them: https://www.keltecweapons.com/collections/class/parts/?weapon=p32Check if it's a 1st gen or 2nd gen. If it's a 2nd gen just make sure the plastic recoil spring guide rod isn't chewed up. They include a fresh plastic one with a recoil spring kit, or you can upgrade to a steel one separately. If it's a 1st gen then replace the hammer and hammer block right away, no way to verify if a 1st gen has the early or late style ones and it's not worth the risk. They can fail suddenly and leave you with only half-cock and light-strikes, or jam the slide open. The 1st gen firing pin retainer screw likes to back out and send the firing pin and spring into your face, carefully Loctite the bitch without getting any in the firing pin channel. May as well pick up an extractor kit, you'll need it eventually.1st gens really are fine, just make sure you've got the updated lockwork and know the extractors don't last forever. The 2nd gens are all around better made and could be more reliable. I love both and own multiple of each because I'm a gigantic faggot. For either be sure to pick up a pocket clip, and if you need a reference this autist covers a lot: http://www.1bad69.com/keltec/

People just ignore the signs because >that can't be right >surely I'm just overthinking this>this can't be happening That's why I've always thought it was stupid how so many gun guys talk about how fast they need to draw their pistol, and that any design or any thing that would "impede" that is not worth having. Such as the entire idea of appendix carrying. Unless you are asleep, you're going to see the threat coming and have like 60 seconds to draw your gun. The only time you would need a fast draw is if you're a cop, or a gangbanger and you're going around expecting enemies to get the drop on you. >but here's one ludicrously rare exception!Proves my point.
>>64415167If I could move to America I would carry every day of my life just to make up for the fact that I couldn't carry before. I think I'd pocket carry an LCR with .38 wadcutters. Or maybe a classic S&W snub. I won't lie, I've never had any concern for my safety, I'd carry just for the feeling of having all that power in your pocket. I think it'd give me confidence.
>>64415505Yes
>>64432134>no way to verify if a 1st gen has the early or late style ones and it's not worth the riskUnless you take it apart and look at them.
>>64432529That's a Taurus hammer block for a PT738 TCP, it's not a P32 hammer block, and they are not interchangeable, just similar. Yes, Taurus had to revise their P3AT clone, so did Ruger. It is not the same as the update made to the P-32 several years prior.
>>64432538P3AT not TCP god dammit I shouldn't drink and post
>>64427333That's tarded. anon. It's a double action trigger. just keep one in the pipe.>t. j-frame with hip grip clip carrier
>>64432538No, they are p3at hammer blocks, but it shows the same change to p32 blocks.
>>64432368
>>64427571I had an NAA .32 and the mag kept dropping while shooting. Apparently this was a known problem, because they sent me and extended magazine catch to fix it. Nope, mag still kept dropping, so I sold the fucking thing for $200, don't know if anyone else has had a similar problem.
>>64415505the sharp checkering can hinder drawing if you have a thick belt and hook the belt clip over it, so I sanded my checkering a bit and now it pulls a lot smoother. I used 600 grit, it took a good hour to do that and the corners and surface of the trigger, I did it while watching that one movie where kristen stewart is barefoot and underwater the whole time.
>>64432134ok, its for sure a 1st gen. thanks for the info, ill look into cleaning it up and swapping the hammer block
>>64426367What is that bad bitch about the gold pistol. Aesthetic
>>64417400>It's an absolutely legendary carry piece at under 10oz loaded. That’s what I love about it. You get an extra round vs .380 and fully loaded it’s lighter than an empty LCP. Plus .32 makes recoil quite tame for such a small gun but FMJ still gets plenty of penetration.
>>64423280Me minus the soiface
>>64420021>recommending Taurus over Kel-Tec for QC reasons>1-800-come-on-niggerBoth have stepped up their game in that regard the past decade but seriously did you eat paint chips as a kid?The whole point of the P15 is to be as thin and light as possible while keeping capacity equal to other options. That’s Kellgren’s whole thing. Just like their 5.7.
>>64425656>I carry most of the time a 32 S&W Iver Johnson Safety AutomaticPretty based choice but it absolutely not lighter and smaller than a P32. It also shoots a slightly weaker round, but I don’t think that matters.
>>64426302Unless they have metal detectors and make you empty your pockets and bag (which they don’t), then yeah they do let you carry. Not openly endorsing it doesn’t mean you can’t. Against the “employee handbook” doesn’t mean you can’t.
>>64427019I use the Ruger cloth pocket holster that came with my LCP II. It’s honestly good. I slip the clip over the holster and onto my waistband. It works for my LCP and my P32 that way. You can also get small kydex trigger guards but they cost about the same as a simple cloth holster and I didn’t like how it juts out through shorts. That said, with a P32 you don’t really need to cover the trigger. It’s a long DAO pull like a revolver. I’ve tested this quite a bit while the chamber is empty and there’s no way it will fire. Your waistband basically covers the trigger guard anyhow.
>>64427678>The frame is aluminum and it will crack and die after a while.Supposedly the INOX ones hold up a little better and the heavier slide helps with this. Or use a weaker .32 like PMC ammo and you’re ok.
>>64432368Where do you live anon?
>>64432913Did you try different mags? Wonder if it was a mag issue or the mag catch spring was the problem
>>64433536>Plus .32 makes recoil quite tame for such a small gun but FMJ still gets plenty of penetration.I use Winchester white box ball ammo in my NAA Guardian, as with a lower powered cartridge like the .32 Auto, (all the more so with a very short barrel) ball ammo provides more penetration whereas hollowpoints are actually a disadvantage.>>64433670>Not openly endorsing it doesn’t mean you can’t. Against the “employee handbook” doesn’t mean you can’t.The point anons were making is that many employers _allow and approve of_ employees carrying a handgun on company property while on the clock. Sure, maybe a small mom & pop convenience store is fine with that but the liability issue are just to much of a danger.There was a story several years back about guy working at Dollar Tree who pulled out his legal concealed handgun on a robber and chased him off (I don't think he fired a shot) and he was immediately shitcanned by the company.
>>64434263>and he was immediately shitcanned by the company.Yeah. I can find a new job. If I need to draw and use my gun at work (extremely unlikely) it’s because my life is in danger. I can’t find a new life. Also where I work has ~400 people. Not big, not tiny. I’m valuable enough and well liked enough I don’t see anything happening to me. If I’m wrong and they fire me then fuck them and I misread upper management that I do get to interact with already. That’s a personal situation and choice.
>>64432529Couldn't get a great pic without taking the block out but the block in my gen1 p32 looks just like the old one there.
>>64432368You sound like an American to me, fren
>>64432368Learn how to use a chainsaw safely and correctly, few things as easy are as much of a confidence booster.
>>64434534Nah just an autist who reads American CCW related articles. I just love revolvers, even though I'll probably never shoot one
>>64434345Don't delude yourself, they'll have to fire you if that happens. Not that it's worth your life or anything
>>64435323If it's just 400 people the policy will be much more flexible than a national chain's
>>64435323>have to fire youWhy? Is this fictional scenario I would have saved my own life and other employees lives. What liability are they exposed to by keeping me employed? None. Also nothing quite like tanking employee moral after an attack on a very safe area by firing the person who saved people. Sidenote, I quite literally told our VP of HR “eh nazis aren’t that bad” and she laughed. In context it was a joke about control freaks but still. I talk hunting with our COO. I’m not concerned. It’s all a hypothetical anyways that won’t happen. Like I already said, I can get a new job. It’s not that big of a deal. It’s well worth the “risk” to me to carry against the “rules”.
>>64435323Also, a cashier is easily replaceable. I know I’m replaceable too. Everyone is. But that doesn’t mean it won’t suck for a couple months until someone is hired and up to speed. It also means stressing a team without a ton of capacity. I’m not acting like I’m amazing. I’m smart, have a good career, etc, but so do ton of other people. I’m not that special. Working somewhere a handful of years, being liked, and not being a giant corporate entity makes a big difference. Nearly everyone can do that.
>>64435323What a weird demoralization attempt.
>>64423280I got over 380 and moved to 32 J frames before the BG dropped, otherwise this was me although I only considered buying the g26. I was a g42 enjoyer.
>>64432134Nice link. Here's a guy finishing up a 12 part, 2,000 round test. The p32 is a special pistol.
>>64435712Forgot link like a dumbass https://pistol-training.com/p32-tuesday-13/The p32
>>64427019With a P32 you just don't have to worry about it unless you're exceptionally retarded.I sometimes carry a grip chopped G19 like that, and the solution there is to get a scrap of kydex and make yourself a little trigger guard. 2"x4" should do it and if you paracord it to a belt loop or something it'll just pop off as you draw.
>>64427995What he means is the P32 has a locked breech.
>>64432813>circumcised cylinderFucking disgusting.
>>64415167No but I'm in and out of gun free zones with metal detectors all day and carrying it from my house to my car and back in the evening was a waste. I do better on weekends when I dont gotta fuck with security.
