    I got an XDS 3.3 45, sold it, belongs to a friend that wanted it, nice gun.

    I replaced it with a Glock 30SF,

    Sigs are great, expensive but nice have several,

    Revolvers are fun, have a few of those

    Lately been carrying my Ruger LCR...

    I waited to long the 1911 3 inch 9mm Sig was gone.

    The 9mm Shield shoots excellent. Don't think I'd want it in 40 Cal (recoil). Still my favorite concealed carry.

    trey (son) just bought one like saturday. i haven't had a chance to try it yet but it looks and feels pretty decent for a compact. his buddy got the one even smaller, it's a 380. damn i can't remember its name without looking em up.. just seemed a bit small. but, it fit in the vest pocket might fine.. ohhh bodyguard maybe?

    Yep they do but I like the little Sig P238 in 380 better. Same size as the Bodyguard.

    I still have one and have never had an issue with it. I had a Colt Mustang that I traded off as I could never get a single magazine to fire more than two rounds without jamming up. Sent it back twice to Colt sent it to a very good Gunsmith and even he said get rid of it. Said he had several come through that have problems.
    Did you know that Kimber is making a small 380 and looks very much like the Sig and the Mustang. Check em out.

    By the way my Sig P238 has worked flawlessly and even at 16 yards offhand shooting it's very accurate.

    I've had a couple of 238's now have a 938, works fine, need to get it to the range though, the 9 prefers 124 grain... or 147.

    Yea I've been contemplating that small Sig in 9mm. I have two 380s and hard to decide which one to get rid of. I really do like the Sig338 in 380 except for the weight. The little Ruger 380 is very small, extremely light weight and hides in my front jeans pocket without printing. No don't want both.

    Go either LC9 or P938

    938 is nice, a bit larger than the 238
    but it's the same firearm, controls etc.

    Just saying the natural bigger brothers to your pocket 380's

    I prefer the 938, it's weight and feel as well...

    funny I carry my LCR more than anything, light
    easy to draw,
