No need to be sorry. I was more or less spouting off tongue in cheek.
I strongly doubt it, but nothing would surprise me with this world today.

Excellent - I've always wanted two Derringer's, one for each pocket, and an ivory handled .45 like Patton's....I'll pay for dinner and coffee and donuts at Tim's later!;)
Ohhh...may need a bit of firearm's instruction, as I've never held one, let alone "capped" a few rounds (did I say that correctly?):o
I like that .45 idea Phrank, but we will be headed through Miami Gardens on the way to the buffet,, that .45 is gonna be a bit slow to reload,,, I was thinks more like a Glock,,,
Well this is Calif,the land of fruits and Nuts.In talking with my insurance agent the other day,these folks have to show proof of auto Insurance.
They get the License,than cancel the insurance a week later,the penalty for not having a valid proof of insurance card is only 50 bux.
win, win situation for them:(
On the Kansas carry laws, I would contact Kansas Bureau of Investigation. I'm sure they are the ones fine tuning the laws like here in Oklahoma where Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation makes the rules/oversees for CCW.
I've had an AZ permit for almost 15 years now. Being that I was in the service and honorably discharged I only had to do fingerprints and send in a copy of my DD-214 with the check for $65 the first time. It is now $35 every 5 years to renew.
Shoots great, light, and easily concealable. Glock finally came out with the long hoped for single stack 9 ....... :y

It is almost identical in size to a Kahr PM9, but the barrel is about a half inch longer. I like Glock's trigger better than Kahr.
I have got to get my hands on one! Soon there will be trigger parts and the such to customize it even more.
Could you post a pic of it next to another double stack glock for size comparison?

Thanks Jimmy, I've got to research them on weight compared to my sig 938 & see if I NEED another ccw. Looks like the same as my G26's (my wife and I have a matching set for travel), but thinner...which I like for IWB.
Thinner and lighter, not only because it is thinner, but carrying 4 less rounds. Here is a comparison page from the Glock website ;

Eyeballing the specs, they are really close...except for price. I'll most likely end up with one one of these days...Sure do like my lil Sig though.

I had a Sig P238 (380). Great little pistol. I had it in an IWB holster when I went to the range to shoot glocks or kahrs. I'm so used to DAO that I even shoot revolvers double action.
Anyway, I had shot the pistols I carried in my range bag and decided to run some 380 through the Sig, which I carried 'cocked and locked' in the IWB. So I pulled it, pointed it at the target, aligned the sights and squeezed the trigger.
Nothing happened. With some bewilderment I looked at the Sig and realized I had forgotten to flip the thumb safety down. From that moment on I never carried it again and eventually sold it.
If the omelet hits the fan I want to just pull whatever I'm carrying and go to work. Having to remember a thumb safety may be alright if that is the only type of pistol a person carries, but since I'm so used to DAO it is not feasable for me. YMMV.

You have to practice with the gun you carry. Personally, I won't carry a gun without a thumb safety. I own several Glocks and shoot them sometimes but I do not like it and won't carry one. I carry two identical guns and use the same guns for target and competition. Variety is nice but it sometimes creates confusion under pressure
I am in the exact same boat you are in, so the 938 is just a smaller version of my 1911. My problem is that I have been thinking about "reality & real world". Lets say I have to use my ccw for what it is designed for. Law enforcement will want to secure your ccw until it is fully investigated. THIS is where my over-thinking comes in, I ask myself: Would I prefer a $500 glock be "held" for who knows how long or my 1911 costing three times as much? Both will serve the purpose they are designed for every time. Oh what to do....
I honestly hated my sig p938, it was only consistent at hanging shells if you fully loaded the magazine, so I spent 50 bucks on an extended sign magazine for it and it did the same...last sig I'll ever buy. I'll stick with my Kimber ultra raptor II. Bit wider but concealment isn't an issue with it.
That's odd, mine has yet to jam or have any issues & I've put anything I can find through it from 147gr gold dots to winchester white box 115 fmj's. Kimbers are really hard to beat...I used to carry a ultra cdp ii in 45, but traded it off after I picked up the super carry pro. Boy do I love that round butt in the hand & much easier on shirts as my other 1911's truly eat my shirts.
Well you've seen my single stacks, they all have thumb safety's. Its a natural part of the draw. I also have a p238, I like that little guy. Had a lc9, for my swimsuit carry prior, and hated that thing. About a month after I bought The sig, they came out w/the p938. Had I been up to speed, I probably would has waited for it.
And now, more eye candy....

Please forgive me if some of these are reposts.
Love those bobtails! Nice eye candy for sure.
I had the same debate and my deciding factor was the fact that I shoot the 1911 much faster and more accurately than anything else I've tried. If I have to use my CCW I want every advantage I can get.
@Dennis
I'm sorry, it sounds like you got a lemon. Like Shooter I've had nothing but reliability from mine.
I ended up with a S&W Bodyguard 380 with the Insight Technologies built in laser a couple years ago. The laser went out and I contacted S&W, they said to send in the old laser unit and they would replace it. They did & I finally got around to deciding to install the laser today...only to not remember where I had stashed it here in the house! We went and ate & it came to me where I thought it was & it was there. Installed the new laser unit (I was installing it to trade or sell it off) and dang it if I'm not sure if I am changing my mind on getting rid of it. What I remember is that the trigger is miserably long DAO & heavy. More of a "get off me" type gun. I'll put it back in the "stash" place (I have several firearms stashed about the place) and think about it. It is a good little pocket gun....just hate the trigger.
Wow a lot of guys carry on this site. I wonder if the mentally of DIY and old fashion thinking is why.
One of the first things my wife and I did when we moved from CA to UT is get our ccw. Every woman should have one.
I'm still looking for something to carry but she has a Ruger SP101 with .38sp Critical Defense. Low recoil for quick follow up if necessary but strong enough to deter or put down a bad guy.
I had to talk her out of using. 357+p+ hunting rounds😀
Anyone have any experience with the CZ 75B PCR? A friend is thinking of picking one up as his ccw, and my only experience with the design is my Dad's old, and heavily modified, EAA Witness he used to shoot competition.
I have the P01, which is essentially a PCR with a rail. It's been a reliable gun and actually came with a decent trigger, which is not the norm for CZ. Fits my hand perfectly and I shoot it very well. I bought it to replace my Glock, but it never made the jump. They have some wonderful ergos that make them strong cult favorite, so I would say your friend might be very happy with it.
My honest take is that the sights are mediocre, the trigger can be very gritty out of the box, and the poly-coat finish will not hold up to carry use. There is unevenness in the metal work like ribs that don't match up and sharp edges. The stock rubber grips are comfy, but will grab on a shirt. The slide has very little area to grasp so its hard to clear malfunctions. CZ-USA doesn't have the best customer service or warranty (5 years, original owner only).
I liked CZ when they were <$400 guns, but now that I see them going for $500-600, I'm less thrilled to recommend them. Overall, I just think their a bit overrated out of the box. As you know, they make a great platform custom work. I realized I would need to spend a few hundred to get my P01 to the point where I would be happy with it for carry. (sights, round the edges, refinish, trigger work, grips)
What do I know, I still carry a Glock.
Depending on where I'll be on what I carry. Most of the time S&W Bodyguard 380; then either my Springfield XD (45) or Springfield 1911
I heard good things about the old CZ in general, so I became interested and began to investigate. I read a lot of reviews online, on forums, and gun mags. Then I took a look at the different models. There were so many variations that I found it confusing and decided ain't nothing wrong with the Glock.
BTW, a friend finds the double stack mag leaves too large a grip for his hand. Now Glock came out with the single stack G-43 9mm, so it is a slimmer profile if that is an issue. Good CCW. Been carrying my 43 quite a bit lately.
