    I had the LEM version for a while but just couldn’t shoot acceptably with the trigger. I’ve heard that LEM will punish you for your failures as a pistol shooter, and it straight up rekt me, haha. I ended up trading mine for my G45 that I recently switched to carrying. Cool little gun and I was kind of sorry to get rid of it but it just sitting around in my safe, and if I’m going to have a P30 as just part of my “collection” for the hell of it, I’d rather it be a full-size.

    I can't do LEMs but for the opposite reason, I grew up with DA/SA so that is all I can really shoot, well that and P7s.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    Never ran a LEM in a class setting but I really like them. I'd love to give it a shot if I could find a left handed holster

    Lol, yes I know, sad!. Then to admit I'm still carrying a AMT, is pitiful. I have sourced a few HK- P8's in 45 acp, that are in the 1500/1800 range. Being a .45 freak, I've given this serious consideration. I'm not really into any specific caliber, if I were, I'd be shooting my 5.7 FN, just about the nastiest round I've shot thru a pistol. This round continues to impress me.

    Many many years ago I had a Conan .357, bitchen pistol, just wasn't reliable enough to carry at work.

    Quick question, you guys running the trigger condoms, are they working as they should, would you share your thoughts on effectiveness.

    I ask as I laughed when they arrived, called em condoms. I'm beginning to see the utility, would like to here thoughts from certified users.

    Thank you in advance.

    Up to date, yes. Fancy, no. I really like both the 365 and the Bugout. The XL shoots like a dream and the Bugout is light as a feather.

    Mine almost never changes. Once I find a combo I like, that's pretty much it. Only think I do change is if I can't CCW the VP9, I use a Shield in an IWB.

    I think the TLR7 and latest brightest slim Klarus flashlight are pretty up to date. Anything newer and brighter is always quickly put into service.

    I have many fancier, stronger knives but the Spyderco waves are a perfect combination of concealable, usable, and most importantly quick to deploy. One per side, of course!

    My most useful item is the unexplainably discontinued Leatherman Squirt S4 I have to buy in bulk from eBay. I think I'm buying back ones the TSA took from me post 9/11.

    How fancy and up to date is your every day basic carry?

    I prefer DA/SA but can pretty much shoot anything well enough to defend myself in a pinch. LEM works just fine for me.

    Well, after thinking about it, I lied. The S&W .460 is one pistol I’d throw instead of shoot.

    I simply can not tolerate the obnoxious recoil of that pistol. But it really isn’t a self defense or carry pistol anyway. Unless you’re defending against a Rhino attack.

    I don’t carry either of my P7’s any more but have a custom made FIST if I should change my mind.
