9mm and $500

[Stradawhovious]

The Spanish did just that. They shoot great, and can be had on the used market for cheap.

That's not a 1911 for about a dozen reasons. That's a 1911 shaped object at best.

I'm a little guy concealing much of anything is pretty much out of the question thats what the pocket pistols are for I plan to go try out an M&P this weekend maybe a few others

Don't be to concerned about size. Yes larger guns are harder to conceal. I'm not that big & I carry a G17, I have other too. Most people are totally oblivious to what's around them. As long as you dress appropriately it shouldn't be a problem.

I attempted to carry a PT99. . . . didnt work small of back, IWB, OWB nothing worked even with the biggest of shirts it was completely obvious that I either had a weapon under my clothing or was hiding a small child

See the thread on what I bought for a plastic BUG. $335 from CDNN, holds 18 rounds, weighs 25 ounces, runs nice. Despite the labeling, it's actually a contract manufactured EAA.

True. But these two are just about as close as you can get, and still be 9mm. The Spanish jobbie is far and away the cheaper option.

Think I would prefer the Armscor for a 1911in 9mm, If I went above the $500 limit I might prefer my Hi Powers.

Dare ya to....

How about a nice gaudy Hawaiian shirt over a kilt?


(luckily for the Gopher crowd next weekend, I don't have a kilt! and it might clash with the Carbon15 holster - if that's the rig I choose this time around...)

HI Point.

With the remaining $380 you can go buy a nice used EAA witness in a real caliber.

Boy, the permit badge guy saw you coming.
