On another note, I have been thinking about buying a Kimber as a sometimes carry gun. I have been looking at the CDP or the Supper Carry. Anyone have any thoughts on these? I carried a Glock 21 for a number of years, and it was a great gun, but I wanted something with a better safety mechanism (and please, do not start a lecture on "if you need a safety you need to be more responsible" and so on. I am, and when not on me they go in the safe. This is a beer forum that I enjoy, and I would like to keep it that way).
I have a Glock 27 and a Kimber Ultra carry (same thing as a CDP). The kimber cost a lot more and the finish is easily rubbed off. It depends how hard you are on your carry pistol. For example, they say not to let the slide fall on a empty chamber, over and over, because it could damage the sear. This only a big deal if you're taking classes that do clearing MF, you don't want to spend a few hours smashing the slide around. And the officers size grips are large for me to carry, they hit the back of the chair or car seat when I sit down. But you can't go wrong with ether. Both great CCW's.
Thanks for the reply. That is basically the choice, Glock 27 or 30 or a Kimber. If I went with the Kimber, I would opt for the full stainless slide, so I suppose that eliminates the Super Carry. Have you had any reliability issues (besides the common finish issues)? If you had to do it again, would you buy another Kimber or go with a different gun?
I've seen a few mentions of open carry here, why would one even want to open carry? From a constitutional (or personal freedom) standpoint I could understand wanting the option, but from a practical/tactical standpoint I just don't get it. And I could see open carry becoming counter productive to us concealed carriers.
I don't mean to jack this thread, but what if this happens to you http://www.tampabay.com/news/public...-at-walmart-attacked-by-vigilante-for/2214432
Concealed means concealed, most people could care less about guns, unless you scare them like the people walking around with AR's on their back's. I would think "why does a guy have a AR in walmart?" What does this non LEO need that gun in here for? It's not like some guy hunting in a field walking back to his car. The NRA is telling these people to stop scaring the sheep, causing "NO GUNS" signs to pop up all over the place. Sorry OP don't mean to jack your thread. I wont say another word about it.
Glock 19 Gen 3. I know all the arguments 9mm not enough knock down power blah blah. I wouldn't want to get shot with a .22 let alone a 9mm. It's defense. I'll pull the trigger until the threat is stopped.

Well basically its the same as all other rights, if enough people don't exercise them eventually the government will take them away. Too much evidence to suggest otherwise. As far as it bothering other people to see it, your feelings dont trump my rights so get over it cupcake. Hell if your nice enough and open minded I may inspire you to make a life change. Just don't come at me with bullshiz.
What didn't you like about it? I was always curious about the trigger pull on them, and never able to test it out for myself.Tried a ruger lcp that thing not fun to shoot

Small frame (especially the compacts like the LCP, Shield, etc.) can be a surprise with the level of recoil, simply because the gun doesn't have the mass to absorb it before it slams into your hand. If you're not ready for that - especially if you're shooting a naturally snappy round like the .40S&W, it can be unpleasant.
