poll: which gun next? (bug vs .45) - Page 2

I voted for the bug also, because in really hot weather it may be the only gun you can carry in shorts and a t-shirt.

My Kimber Ultra does everything...but it isn't going to hide in my front pocket like my KT.380.

Stay armed...stay safe!

I'm a little contrary too.

At the risk of committing heresy, another gun is just another gun. Get the holster. It'll put a smile on your face every day that you strap it on.

BUGs are incredibly useful and if thats what you find you *need*.

What gets me is, why not just use the pm9? They really aren't that larger than a p3at,...If I had the money, I would have gotten that instead of the cw9 I ended up with.

"Fill the needs first, then worry about the wants."

Yep, though you may have already filled the niche for covert carry in glancing at the list of what you already have. Which snubby do you have? Bottom line: define your wants vs your needs and prioritise them. There isn't a right or wrong answer, onmly your answer.

just for the record, here's a Kimber Stainless Compact (4"), a Kel-Tec PF9, Kel-Tec P3AT, and Kel-Tec P32. About the only real perceptable difference in size between the P3AT and P32 is the Bersa finger rest I have on the P3AT, otherwise they are very close in size. There is a real difference in size between the P3AT and PF9. I actually carry the PF9 in an old Don Hume IWB made for the compact 1911.

Maybe it's just me, but I fail to see how one has trouble hiding a PM9 or a "Snubbie" Revolver. Both of those guns make a good BUG, although I would favor the "Snubbie" for various reasons.

I agree with Sixto, "fill the needs first."
