Also, the average vest only protects the rib cage area. A shot to the pelvis is an easier target, and he WILL be on the ground.

Fictional story but interesting real modification.....
I still prefer a conventional secure holster setup.....i’ve carried concealed for almost 40 years.... deployment, aim, and fire is second nature at this point...
If he hasn't slowed down after the 2nd center mass shot, go for the head.
If you can't hit his head after 5 shots from 25 ft. you need more range time.
She had some surgery and couldn't rack the slide on her 42, so I gave her my J-Frame temporarily, and while she had that, I experimented with pocket carry of the 42.
I fell in love with pocket carry so much that I ended up buying a Ruger LCP and now that's my EDC.
No hassle with putting on a hybrid holster in the morning, no worries about dropping trou in a public bathroom stall, no fiddling about with trying to tuck a shirt around the "tuckable" hybrid IWB holster.
Just put the LCP into a pocket holster, slip it into a front pocket, clip a spare magazine on my belt, and off I go.
I'm not worried about the lack of stopping power with today's .380 defensive ammunition, and with 13 rounds on my person, I don't worry about being in an extended firefight.
And for those 25 foot head shots, I have a Viridian laser on my LCP that is activated automatically by removing the pistol from the pocket holster. There is a magnet in the holster that turns off the laser when inserted.
I still carry my Glock 26 occasionally, but frankly I have used it more at GSSF events than I have for EDC since getting my LCP.
I shelved my LCP for a Sig P238. I modified the right front pocket of my pants to provide a little more room. If you don't mind the 1911 style safety, you get a superior trigger pull.
Made up, fabricated bullshit is for guys like Pencil Neck.
With the P238 you also get far superior sights.

LCP.
Thank you for this.
I think I will look into the .357 Sig version, converted.
I got my LCP about a year after the LCPII came out, and I paid $199 for it.
Ruger still makes both the LCP and LCPII, but the LCPII is about $100 more expensive.
Not as crappy as the Keltec P3AT that the design was ripped off from.
The only problem I see with CCW is once you apply for one, the government knows where to go to grab it. Now, IF I had any guns, I wouldn’t want the government to know. Unfortunately, I lost any that I may have had in a tragic boating accident.
Might as well get a CCW for all the benefits.
Still carrying the Kahr PM9 I bought 10 years ago.
What is generally considered the best compact 9 available today?
Anyone?
Anyone?
Are you intentionally trying to start a bar fight?
;^)
Could have been worse. Ford or Chevy?
haha
Yes, the Keltec P3AT is a crappy pistol. The trigger is terrible. The sights are a joke (but a laser makes it borderline usable). There is no revolver or semiautomatic pistol sold that would be worse in a gunfight. However, I love mine. The P3AT in its holster is the size and weight of my iPhone. There is no time, ever, when I'll leave the P3AT behind because of the weight or the bulk. Pistol is better than no pistol, and the Keltec is for that situation when you would otherwise not carry at all.
