Just finished a BUG class with Ken Hackathorn/ J-frame thoughts.

[Dave Williams]

Great thread gents. I've shot with Ken. Another nice gun to consider is the Sig 938. 8rds, cocked and locked, great sights and trigger, very shootable, pocket carryable, ready to go out of the box. I've got a real nice Ritchie ankle holster for it.

Given that the J-frame is often the "this gun or no gun" carry piece due to its size, it is very important to be proficient with it. Being in the hot weather Southwest where standard summer garb is often a t-shirt and shorts, you just don't get many people carrying large capacity autos for everyday.

Wish there were some classes on the J-frame in these parts.

Claude Werner ran a .22 Beretta like a boss.

Which model?

Been carrying a 442 as a pocket gun for about 20 years now. Never could find a pocket holster that allowed a half decent draw; finally just dropped in an empty pocket. At least I can get the damn thing out in under two minutes now!

There are days I think about a Glock 43, but not there yet. I sort of figure if things get much weirder I will just wear the EDC Glock 19 for eventualities.

Meanwhile I ought to get off my duff and shoot the 442 more.

Holster will stay in the pocket everytime.

Carrying without a holster is not a sure way to have the gun stay put at the same place all the time.

Did he discuss laser grips for low light scenarios? Can you share the comments?

Yes, it's a good idea to have one. I have it on several carry handguns including the J frame (it's a must on the J frame revolvers).

Any thought given to one of those .22 WMR j-frames? Somebody is making defensive-minded ammo for them and they have better capacity than a .38, plus they're light as hell. Was thinking one would make a good jogging gun.
