Fourth, if you fall on your back or get taken down hard that pistol is going to hurt you.ĪIWB (appendix inside the waistband, basically between your centerline and your 1 o'clock if RH) is the fastest draw and very concealing if done well, but I'm told it takes quite a bit of trial and error to get right.

Third, if you have to go hands on with someone and you end up on your back, you will lose access to your pistol. Second of all, it's going to suck when sitting down. First of all, it's the slowest position to draw from. Leather pancake holster work better than the kydex versions because leather molds to your body and will pull the pistol in tight (assuming you have a proper belt).ĭO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT carry a pistol on the small of your back. With a regular (not fitted) untucked button down shirt I can conceal a pistol the size of a VP9 in a pancake belt holster with ease. Polos tend to be a bit more clingy than square-cut button down shirts worn untucked. Your VP9 will absolutely disappear under a properly sized garment in an IWB holster as long as you select an appropriate holster and appropriate belt. I've learned a thing or two in that time.…. I've been carrying every day, virtually everywhere, for the last 14 years. Maybe I'm wrong but the questions you're asking and the assumptions that you seem to be under do point that way. I understand your mindset, but a revolver or a Glock with a minimum of controls is just one less thing you gotta think about in a stressfire situation.You sound like you're fairly new to concealed carry. The striker fired design with a plunger is safer than any DA/SA setup on the market as long as you keep your booger hook off of the bang switch until you need to destroy something. I can understand your thinking on the merits of a DA/SA system, but having to adjust you finger in order to fire your DA/SA tool effectively IMHO I think you are better off with a Glock. I am adamantly against the spray and pray mindset, thats how innocent bystanders can get killed. Statistically what is the probability as private citizen of having to face off more than one attacker (I am reminded of a great scene with Kenny Rogers in the "Gambler"). If you read back on many of the Ayoob files you will find that the DA/SA trigger could hurt you in court (I know its stupid, but lawyers can be worse than bad guys). It all comes down to practice, practice, practice.
#Best sub compact 9mm plus
5 rounds of real knock down power plus a couple speed loaders in your pocket and you are set. In a self defense situation, the distance will probably be within 30 feet, the last thing you will be thinking about is staging a trigger. Mine has the black slide finish and it isn't the best finish. I now have 2 friends that bought ones after shooting mine. Everyone that looks at mine loves it.once they shoot it they have to have one. Remove mag, flip leaver, and it slides right off. Can remove the slide while chamber is loaded if you so choose. Not ammo sensitive, not limp wrist sensitive.goes bang every time. At one point, another guy is pouring a bucket of water on the gun with steam rolling off while they are firing and it just keeps on getting it. The Bersachat forum has a video of two guys putting over 1500 rounds through one rapid fire one mag after another. It has a metal alloy frame, long frame rails, and thick metal controls.

It also has a de-cocker so you can carry chambered, de-cocked, the hammer then rides off of the firing pin, and you can carry it with the safety then off. The Bersa Thunder 9 ultra compact (aka Mini 9 Firestorm) meets the bill.
