One thing about being a gun guy or gal is you will do a lot of trading. \u00a0You see something you always wanted, buy it and after a while you fall out of love with it and move it on for something different! \u00a0Carry guns are different, you don’t really take them to the gun range and shoot them a lot, but enough to be really good with them! \u00a0They are harder on your hand with their lighter weight, they often have pretty good recoil. \u00a0A carry gun is mostly for just in case situations. \u00a0Situations you pray will never happen!!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
My carry\/car gun for several years has been the Smith & Wesson Shield 9mm. \u00a0It is \u00a0good gun, very reliable, fairly compact, but I really hated the trigger. \u00a0I traded it for the gun above, the H&K VP9sk. \u00a0This is a bigger gun, heavier gun but with a great trigger, and not carries 2 more rounds, 10. \u00a0I may still get something very compact for t-shirt carry, but I love this pistol.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It’s hard to beat H&K quality. \u00a0This one is the LE variant, with night sights and \u00a0it came with 3 – 10 round magazines, two with the very comfortable pinky extensions. \u00a0I will try carrying it for a while and see how it goes. \u00a0At the range, in combat type firing, (one shot a second or faster), I was able to keep all shots in a 6″ area from 7 yards, 20 times. \u00a0Not sharpshooter territory, but perfectly adequate for close range emergency shooting.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I will keep you updated on how the H&K is doing for it’s intended purpose!<\/p>\n
