Quick HELLO and THANKS to all forum members who helped me make my P45 (black) choice. Now, you don't know you helped cause I've been a lurking' for a while. Now you do.
Brought it home from the Ft. Lauderdale, Florida gun show today - only one there - believe me I checked!
Keeping it on the short side first time out - sometimes hard for me.
I tend of over analyze and then second guess everything, but I am feeling pretty good at the moment. Haven't fired it yet. Gonna read the manual and tech section, clean, lube, etc, and then put 200 or so down range this week.
Been all over the map last two weeks considering: PM9, CM9, LC9, Beretta Nano (rumored to exist but not at gun show), PM45, CW45, P45, etc but in the end I decided not to restrict to more "proven" pocket carry - I mean I got stuff that goes in them pockets. Plus I kind of wimped out in wanting to learn the two finger pinky-tuck hold - and I really wanted a 45. Got an old Beretta 92 Italian stainless and gave my oldest son my Walther PPS 9mm about six months ago. Did I say I really wanted a 45.
All kidding aside, figure to start out IWB with a remora and when I can find cargo/tactical pants that fit my lard butt then maybe front right pocket or cargo pocket at times.
Open to suggestions - I ain't no expert at nuttin' - but I get by.
Pete
