Any Gun owners out there?

I have a Hi-Point JHP in .45

not a real popular weapon, but it sure is "on target" when used.
The weight of it keeps it from jumping up between shots.
I can empty the magazine fast and keep all of the shots inside the circle at 25 feet.

Center mass with expanded hollow points? the intruder is going down.
Sleeps in a pocket in my recliner in the Living Room... which is where I am when not in my home office.

It has nice clean lines. I've always thought that the best gun for someone was the weapon they are the most familiar/comfortable with. They are all designed to do their job well. The biggest variable is the shooter. If he/she has confidence in their choice, it's a great choice.
 
The Hi-Point was a gift from a friend. I have very large hands, and he thought it would be a good fit for my 275# frame and XXL hands. When I first picked it up I thought "gawd is this heavy".

Then I went to the range and learned to shoot it properly with both hands.... and doing it that way, I can keep the full magazine in a 3-4 inch grouping at the 25 ft pistol range.

I don't practice enough to ever get "really good", but as my CCW instructor said.... if you put a 357/380/9mm/40mm/.45 Hollow Point in the middle of the chest 3 times, they are going down.... get the weapon that you can use, and learn to use it.

He was making a hard sell point because we had approximately 8 ladies in our class, and a lot of them were concerned about being able to hold a "decent weapon"... he also said that if an automatic scares them, get a revolver, they never jam.

I just bought my daughter, a young 41 this Christmas, a pink SCCY in 9mm.
I want her to get her CCW.... I am very concerned because she is in a sales position ( her own company ) and meets folks in parking lots, etc... to sell her products.... I go with her sometimes when her customers are guys, not women.
 
I have three daughters. They all know how to shoot. I think it's imperative. My wife carries a Sig P938. 9mm is a sweet spot for women it seems. "Her gun", for years, was a Smith & Wesson 38 revolver. Nice gun and could be carried. I finally talked her into the nine and the 38 sits idle in the safe now.

All women should have the means to protect themselves. They are viewed as easy targets. :(
 
Looks like a fine choice to me. I was going to suggest the XDS9 by Sprinfield Arms but see that it's a bit larger and more expensive. :( It's too bad IWB is not an option for you. BTW, they do make some great ankle holsters... just a thought.
 
I'm looking at buying an LC9S to carry in my pocket. IWB doesn't work in office clothes unfortunately

That is why I chose the LC9S, I want it to be inobtrusive, and yet still fit in my hand.
I bought a Sticky Holster to try and use it inside the waist band, or pocket, but able to pull the weapon out in seconds. The holster stays where it is, the gun slides out with ease.

The "imprint" on your clothing does not look like a weapon. Usually is mistaken for a wallet.

love it, gave mine to my daughter for her Christmas present, a SCCY 9mm in Pink :p,

The Sticky Holster will slip into a pocket, waist band, purse, and covers the trigger so it can't be touched.

gun slips right out of it in a hurry, now I got to order up two more for me. I liked it so well, I am going to get one to fit my Hi-Point .45 ACP which in a super rugged military sort of way, "might be" considered a CCW weapon :rolleyes:

Not likely though, it weighs 10 lbs it seems like, huge heavy slide on it, but it don't jump up when you pull the trigger, it stays on target until the magazine is empty.

I understand completely. I'm fortunate that I can carry with an IWB holster. I've carried so long that I don't even notice it's there. It's comfortable.. but yes, it does print somewhat. Here is my EDC

And the holster ... a different gun than mine

Not to distract from the conversation (much), I have to crow about a new IWB holster I acquired. This has to be the most functional and comfortable holster I've ever experienced. The padding is super comfy, it's adjustable, and the shell is actually customized to YOUR specific firearm, ensuring a snug fit. Highly recommended!

Alien Gear Holsters

I just received an email on that today, looks interesting, have no experience with it though.
 
It's my goal to have a 1911 at some point.

But for right now, I need something I can carry in business casual. I don't wear a suit coat, so I'm basically limited to a pocket carry or an ankle holster.

The StickyHolsters are great for PocketCarry, look into them... very slender and they stay put, the outside has a slightly Velcro type effect, it stays where you put it. I doubt anyone would realize what is in your pocket with it.

I have always carried my Wallet in my right front pocket, I am switching the Wallet to the left front, and the CCW-StickyHolster goes in my Right front pocket.... I'm right handed...
I am also ambidextrous, but Right Hand dominant.

Don't think it would work at all for AnkleCarry.

I've got an Alien Gear OWB for my Glock 26. My only OWB, and I love it. Very comfortable, very good retention, keeps the gun snug against my body. Thinking about getting an IWB from them as well. Otherwise, my IWB holster for that gun is a Remora, kind of like the Sticky Holster.

I've also had my eye on one of these lately:
