Hello all!
Been scoping around for a pistol for a couple weeks now. There is a bunch of information on the forums, so thanks to all the members and forum staff!
Initially I had been looking at the Sig P938 to carry on my ankle, and at the price, I had all but talked myself to go ahead and spend the extra $400 on the SA EMP. I grew up with SA, as my father, a retired USN CPO EWC, had always owned SA's. Familiarity is always good, right? I had never personally owned a pistol before, but have had countless rounds through a Micro or xd40 of my father's. Anyway, I wanted something cheaper to shoot at the range compared to the .45 that I was most familiar with. I picked up this months edition of G&A as it had a feature on pocket carry sized pistols. I never would carry in my pocket, as thats for my cell phone on one side and a rather large assisted open CRKT US-made knife in the other. Anyway, I saw the LC9, and did some reading. I was pretty much sold on Ruger as I wanted an American made firearm. Watched a video from hickok45 on youtube for the LC9 and noticed the SR9C on the bench as he was reviewing the LC9. It looked just the right size, around the same size the Micro I was accustomed to, not to mention with the stainless, it is aesthetically pleasing! Watched a couple more videos from hickok45 on the SR9c and fell in love. Comments and discussion in this forum on the pistol has me all but 100% sold on it.
I live 20 minutes from the infamous Buds in Lexington, KY. They have a couple used ones down there right now, so tomorrow during lunch I'm going to go fire a box through and see how I like it. From what I've read and watched though, I won't be disappointed, and will be going NIB. I won't be walking out with it tomorrow though, as bills come first. It is my Christmas present to myself, so I can wait a few weeks and lay-a-way it.
I'm quite excited for it, and look forward to many years with it!
For those of you that do, how well does this pistol profile in the small of your back? I found that would be the best CC place for me. I wear snug fitting jeans (I'm young, I'm allowed to be trendy
), so IWB isnt really an option. Dad packs his Micro in a CC fanny pack (gross lol). Opinions?
Again, thanks for the plethora of information!
