[QUOTE="blutch, post: 812520, member: 8352"] Thank you both for the advice. I have shot several Glocks and a couple of Sigs. I frankly hated the Sig. It just didn't work well for me. I have shot a Glock 19 and 26 and they were both "ok." Not as comfy IWB as the single stack Springfield EBM or Kahr CW9. If I were going to go the route of getting the same type/brand gun for HD and CCW, I would probably go with the M&P. This would be expensive though. I hear that a lot of people carry their M&P 9's with no problems. Frankly, I'm not sure how long it will be before I finally go through the CCW course and wait for a license. Even then, I don't know how much I will carry.. it is just an unknown. It is illegal to carry where I work. What I DO know now is that I have been bitten by the bug and right now want to keep shooting at the range and I want to take some classes in self defensive shooting. Frankly, i think I could do it all with that one gun - the Springfield 1911 EMP. With two kids in college, it will be awhile before I can drop that kind of coin on one though. I could pick up a Hi-Point and some bulk ammo this week, no problem. I'm interested in checking out the swap meet. Did they ever decide on a specific date? I'll check that thread again. Thanks for all the advice and sorry to ramble on. :-) B [/QUOTE]
