How's the reliability on your 3" 1911? I always struggled to make them as reliable as I liked for carry. I think it might have been more of a grip issue for me though. I was just wondering what your experiences were and if mine were the norm or not?

I had the same issue with my 3". I really wanted it to work as I loved the way it carried/shot. It just wasn't close enough to 100% reliable for me (I had some stove pipe issues even after some custom gunsmithing. I have a 4" now and have to say I'm pretty happy with it (it took some work to get it reliable for carry however).

The S&W Bodyguard 380, IF you can actually get some. Since they dropped the MSRP, they've pretty much disappeared off shelves. Cabela's has a waiting list that was 40+ deep when they priced it at 350. With built in laser, its a nice little pocket rig.
For something larger, I am partial to the XDM compacts, in 9 or 40. Not sure how my likes fare with popularity though, plus they are a pretty new release.

One thing... the photo on your site for the P229 is a P226 E2... Other than that, nice site, very straightforward. Wish I was closer, I'd stop by for a visit. Good luck!

My favorite CC handgun, which I also OC is my Sig P250 subcompact (.40 S&W).

My favorite BUG, which by definition is a CC hangun and also a deep concealment handgun, is my Keltec P32.

NO, surprisingly it is not. DAO and a very smooth 4.5lb trigger pull.... a very cooperative firearm.

You haven't had any issues with it? Sig recently introduced the 290, and as I read reviews for it, many unfavorably mentioned the 250.

that sig is a real sweet shooter!, unless youre a girlyman...
real nice trigger, recoil is normal, gentle, reasonable,
shooting guns is not a gentle happy thing, but a sig IS!!!

they are costly, but worth it, plus secret service lighters are rare!!

No. None and I have tried to have it FTF or FTE but it shoots and feeds perfectly. The 290 is a completely different firearm. They really are not a comparable firearm.

Have you actually tried the 290? I didn't think it was generally available yet.

Yes. It is fine but I wouldn't buy it as I have no need for another small CC firearm and I don't carry 9mm. (I have a friend who owns a gun shop)

The 250 is a interchangeable firearm, several different sizes can be acquired without buying a different gun as the trigger mechanism is removable from the gun...
