Had my permit a few years. I own several guns but this gen5 19 in 9mm has been my go to lately. Light, small, high capacity, and enough range time to trust my family’s lives to it. Over 1k down the pipe without a ftf, fte, or even a squib. Not really a fan boy but this is what’s in the waist and ALWAYS one in the hole. Works for me and the fam. My wife checks when she hugs me to see if I’m carrying... she thinks I don’t notice but she frisks me a little bit every time. If she didn’t feel it, I bet I’d get asked why.
I do a little goofy thing at the door when I leave everyday. I pat myself down and say “spectacles, testicles, wallet, and watch”. It’s kept me armed at all times. Luckily I’ve never had to draw it. I run Hornaday Critical Duty and Green Dots.
