The sights are perfect, especially compared to those (or lack thereof) on the Kel Tec P3AT and other Kel Tec clone pistols. I plan on getting one for a back-up. My usual CCW is a Kel Tec P11, as it is small enough to wear with almost anything, yet still can handle 10+1 or 12+1 capacity of 9mm. The P11 in a Cell Pal holster make it practical, when you cannot conceal a full-sized Glock.falcon_01https://www.blogger.com/profile/12757035581276689343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-77739160989092573872013-09-02T21:25:50.732-07:002013-09-02T21:25:50.732-07:00Some localities will charge you if your concealed ...Some localities will charge you if your concealed gun is revealed.

Someone reporting you have a concealed gun on your person isn't important since in the eyes of the law, all that matters is if you made reasonable attempt to conceal it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-13677443954879711652013-08-28T21:00:29.738-07:002013-08-28T21:00:29.738-07:00I agree with Arcturus.

In the super hot climate where I live, if I was dressed heavy enough to conceal a full sized gun, I'd get a lot of stares and unusual attention. <br /><br />My choice is a .38 snub that I'm very comfortable with and have practiced with twice as much as anything else. I carry 1-2 reloads, and I've practiced reloading till I'm medium fast. <br /><br />Although I can understand alternate viewpoints, I'd rather have a pocket sized gun I can reach instantly walking casually across a parking lot, rather than a full sized gun buried under my clothes that takes 4-5 seconds to get to.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-57654302146045462013-08-28T06:00:25.489-07:002013-08-28T06:00:25.489-07:00I used to EDC a full size s&w M&p but now ...I used to EDC a full size s&w M&p but now I almost exclusively carry my LC9 with an extra mag. I am fully aware of the lost capacity, reloading efficiency and poor trigger. The reason I choose to downsize is because I can wear my LC9 with any outfit in any conditions without thinking twice. I live in the hot/humid climate of South Louisiana and what I commonly wear is athletic shorts and a t-shirt. I can easily conceal the LC9 with even that outfit, try that with a full size gun. I know, you're not supposed to choose the gun for the outfit but rather choose an outfit to accommodate the gun but lets get real. I wear what I want to wear and if I'm walking out the door with lightweight summer clothes on and I'm looking at my 1911 on the dresser I'm going to keep walking. I have zero excuse not to pick up the LC9. The best gun is the one you have with you. My advice, carry the most effective gun that you can under the circumstances. As a side note, I train endlessly with my LC9. It's a very difficult gun to master. The sight radius is short and the trigger pull is long. Also drawing from concealment is not easy. Training is critical.Arcturus13noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-63784015056908522002013-08-28T05:59:51.243-07:002013-08-28T05:59:51.243-07:00I used to EDC a full size s&w M&p but now ...I used to EDC a full size s&w M&p but now I almost exclusively carry my LC9 with an extra mag.
