I finally got my CCW after 2 years in the process. I have had my open carry for over a decade.


I qualified with my S&W Shield that I bought specifically for my CCW. But after shooting it the first time at my qualifying shoot I have determined that it’s not very user friendly for a left handed shooter.

Do any of you have/carry the Springfield Armory Hellcat?

I checked one out at the local gun shop and strangely enough I really like the sights. Plus it will allow me to carry 10+1 instead of 8+1 like my shield.

I have no experience with the Hellcat.

I bought a Sig P365XL when I was considering getting a carry permit in NJ, but with all the restrictions on carrying in NJ and considering I spend most of my time in NY I decided not to bother. The SIG has a 10 round mag and it is smaller than my Springfield Armory XD which I prefer for the range. I have larger hands and the smaller SIG is not as comfortable in my hand as the XD. IMO Springfield is underrated.

I also have poor eyesight for short distances so I added a Holosun red dot sight which is better for my eyes. I can't focus on the metal sights without my glasses but if I wear glasses, the target is a blur. The red dot eliminates the need for lining up the metal sights.

BTW, I have seen some videos about SIG handguns firing unexpectedly if the slide is hit in a certain way. I think that is an issue with the P320. I have not had any experiences like that with the P365XL.

I have never liked any Sig. The grips always feel like I’m gripping a baseball bat. So I stopped looking at them altogether.

I don't get that feeling, and I can only speak to the P365XL. For me the problem is the distance from my grip to the trigger is too short and I have too much finger on the trigger - I am not sure I am explaining it right. It is not a natural feeling and I have a tendency to pull the gun to one side when I squeeze the trigger. But the P365XL is a good size for concealed carry. I might be a great gun for someone with smaller hands or a chick.

Sig's are crap. In the past the screws rusted very easily. Second, they constantly jam. I did some training at their academy in New Hampshire a few years back and we all got Sigs right out of the box. Each and every person I trained with had issues with the guns jamming. I don't carry a Sig....never will. Never had these issues with my Glock and that's what I carry. I just have to be extra careful with the kids because it doesn't have a safety.

I’m looking at the Springfield Hellcat, or now the Canik MC9 is CA Compliant and available here finally.

I love the sights on the Hellcat and the way it feels. But it also is not left hand friendly, although it seems much better than my Shield.

The Canik has Ambi controls (slide release) and the mag release can be switch to the other side as well.

Anyone have any experience with Canik? Specifically the MC9?

The level of fucked-upness on this from the people that clearly believe crime is ok is laughable.

First, these kids are pure thug trash. They were armed, they shot at the homeowner and then he returned fire, killing all 3.

Second, and just as big an issue is the complete utter failure of parenting here. Not only did they raise trash kids, but then they have the gall to insist this homeowner pay them millions of dollars for defending himself.

Society is so fuckedup everywhere here. Parents who raise these losers should start being held accountable, not whining on TV about how their kids didnt deserve this.

Bravo to the homeowner who put thes sacks of shit into the ground.

we gotta quit coddling people, if the judge is worth a shit, he'll toss the case out before it starts and admonish them for having the audacity to bring the case in the first place
