So I was all set on a P365x that my friend was gonna hook me up with, but it’s taking time. I don’t want to hound him as he is asking it as a favor to his friend that owns a gun shop. I might just go get one on my own in the end, but what this wait time has done is allowed me to more throughly confuse myself with YouTube vids.
Ideally I want a hammer fired pistol, like the P30sk/P2000sk etc. with the LEM trigger. I figure it would give a new guy a little more leeway on safety as I could hold the hammer when reholstering. Those 2 aren’t optic ready so I would have to send it out for milling if I went with a RDS.
If not hammer fired then maybe move up from a micro9 to a sub compact.
My question for you IWB guys who have carried a bunch of different guns is this: it’s seems obvious a thinner gun will be more comfortable to carry, but between say a p320 and a P365 is the difference a lot? Mag capacity isn’t a concern as we are limited to 10 round mags here so the benefit of the larger gun would be for recoil, and the ability to get a hammer fired model. I don’t know if a 1911 variant would be a good first choice for a newbie like me with the cocked and locked thing, and the light trigger. I own a SA 1911 and did some shade tree gunsmithing in it so I have a feel for them and their internals. It’s purely a range bullseye toy that turned out pretty good, but I don’t trust sticking down my pants considering what I did to it lol.
Anyways I’m rambling…any insight?
