What's Your Next Handgun?

[papaairbear]

Next (on the way, actually) is a Kahr CW380 that I plan to use for daily carry in a back pocket holster.

Allow me to suggest Uncle George for your holster.  I love mine.

My list is on hold again also.  Once I figure out how to quit hitting deer maybe I can buy a gun.

move to Chicago. No deer up here in the city. Wait. What am I saying?? Scratch that. Nobody should move here. Everybody needs to run away screaming!

I've got a canik 55 9mm stingray chrome compact on the way.  I'd also like a tangfolio witness .45 full size. 

I just built an SP-01 with all the bells and whistles and its really nice, although I shot my SP-01 Shadow yesterday at IDPA.

I've also been working on a sig 938.  It's a nice little piece with a terrible trigger.  I put a stainless trigger on it and have been polishing the action and working on the springs.  I've lowered the 9lb trigger to 5.5 and its getting smoother as well.

Twowheels. I also have a 938, but other than extended magz ive done nothing to it. For a close range, short barrel pistol Ive been impressed. And honestly as far as concealability, the little iron package is impressive (and reliable).

I love every gun I own............. But I sure would like to own a pocket pistol like an M&P Shield, or an XD-S, or a Sig P-238.

Hey Googe... ever paid a visit to the burbs??? Man if they allowed deer hunting it would be heaven. Seriously the deer in the forest preserves around Chicago would shock most out of state hunters. You can walk or bike through the woods around here around sunset and pass within 10 to 30 feet of more Bucks and Does then the average hunter will see in a season. Drive down Higgins road past Bussie woods and it's common to see herds of 20 to 35 deer in the clearings just off the road.

Just keep an eye out for eastern massasauga rattlesnakes:

Believe it or not I do manage to get outside the city limits from time to time Artist! Parents are in Hinsdale and they have deer walking around in their backyard all the time.SIL is out in St. Charles; ditto.  I used to spend a lot of time in the preserves and your right; they're loaded with deer. Never seen that scary looking rattlesnake though.

MI is said to have them to.  I was born and raised there.  Left when I was 19 and never saw one and did spend a lot of time in the boonies.

One nice thing about western WA ? no venomous snakes west of the Cascade crest.  They must not like our winter monsoons.

I bleep near stepped on a prairie rattler in WY on two occasions.  The first time  the snake rattled as my foot was raised and poised to step on him.  I have no idea how I did it, but in mid-stride I made a 180? turn and set a record for the 50-yd dash through the shrub-steppe terrain.  The only reason I stopped was the realization that I might run into another snake.

Next time I find myself in prairie rattler habitat I will have my 75 Compact strapped on my hip and loaded with CCI pest control rounds with 53 gr of #12 shot.

Skookum, that eastern massasauga rattlesnake is one beautiful snake. I'm cool with vipers as long as they aren't sinking their fangs in my leg (or elsewhere) and wouldn't shoot one like a lot of guys unless it posed a serious risk to my family. In other words if he's in his area and not setting up shop in my back yard like a lot of southerners have to deal with on a regular basis. I've never seen any sort of viper in the Chicago area and I was born and raised here. My dad did see a copperhead in downtown Chicago when I was younger and when we would visit relatives in Ohio I did see copperheads, rattlers and water moccasins. I like and respect snakes, they have their place in the world, although I sometimes wonder if they really need that nasty of a venom as some of them possess.

Another 10mm would do my just fine   
Since I'm not a huge S&W fan, any of their offerings are out, even the 610   
The DW Titan would be a great choice, if the Price wasn't so astronomical     
BUT, if CZ ever gets off their behinds and make the 10mm 97 a reality, I'd be all over that

I've seen three of the massasauga rattlesnake here in Michigan and they were all in S.E.MI around the rural Ann Arbor area. One of the Metro parks has signs for to watch out for them. Two of those previously mentioned I found in that metro park. Both were out in the open cut grass getting some rays on a hot summer day.
