It wasn’t just the backstrap that bothered me. Mostly the diamond pattern just didn’t feel good in my hands. I just did a bit of looking now though and it looks like there are some options for fixing that. I might have to look into them again. I really like the Sig P938 so far though.
I missed your comment about Glock fanboys. Shocking we haven’t had any so far but the thread devolved into politics from a simple question of what brand/model of pistol we like. For the record, I’ve yet to meet a Glock that I’d want to own.

I’ve also got a S&W M&P Shield in 9mm and have looked at the Springfield XDS many times. I just can’t get over the fact that I don’t like the grips on the XDS. Prime reason to go with the XDS is that you can get it in 45ACP. There are a lot of cheaper brands out there too. If you have a place where you can do it, go and test fire all the different options. My father-in-law bought a Glock 36 because several people told him how great they were. The problem is that it doesn’t fit his hand well at all and the trigger digs into his finger so he shoots terrible with it. His accuracy is greatly improved using my M&P Shield. No matter what you get though. A major key to carrying it safely is practice and being comfortable with it.

I personally don't really care, but it's another good point. On 12/7/2015 10:07 AM, Jeremy wrote: A lot of people are carrying a gun that has no safety. The safety is released by squeezing the trigger, essentially. I have kids, and although I plan to keep my gun far away from them, I cannot on a clear conscience carry a gun with no safety. I have been considering a revolver. My bro has a CC and he recommends something smaller, so it doesn't jab you in the side whenever you sit down. I am still looking for the right gun for a CC. I've already had a gun pulled on my at a job. On Mon, Dec 7, 2015 at 9:03 AM, Paul McCall <pa...@pdmnet.net<mailto:pa...@pdmnet.net>> wrote: I am getting my CC permit (Florida) in a week or so. I took an absolutely excellent class from the main trainer at the Brevard county sheriff’s office. Now, I am looking for an excellent CC gun to use, as my long barrel Colt 38 is not a good fit for that. I am certain that this group probably has a LOT of expertise (and many opinions) on THE gun to use. ☺ Paul McCall, Pres.
