The Sig Sauer 938 Equinox, 9mm.

http://tinyurl.com/p7ah6bo

Nice and small, great size for a carry weapon.

$659 at Buds Guns, plus another $25 for the FFL guy.


===

Looks interesting. Will they let you try it before you buy?

No, they don't do that unless it's one of the ones shooters can rent. This one isn't. I haven't done
the deed yet. May put it on the Christmas list.


===

Let us know how you like it if you get a chance to shoot one.

The only way I'll get a chance to shoot it is to buy it. But I sure like the feel, the size, and the
smoothness of the trigger pull. It's as smooth as my Kimber, and that's smooth.


===

Kimbers are smooth. I've only shot one once but was very impressed.
Do they make a small carry gun?

Yeah, but it's not as small as the Sig. I liked this (my local dealer has it in stock also) until I
saw the Sig P938. I mentioned this Kimber a few weeks ago when Bud's Guns had it mistakenly priced
at less than $900. Tim responded to the post, "Go for it at that price!" But the price was soon
corrected.

Here's the Kimber I was looking at:

You'll note it comes in 9mm also.

Yes, but I wonder how much difference 9mm makes in size and weight. At
around 2 pounds (loaded) the 45 seems way too big and heavy for a
pocket gun, maybe OK with a concealed belt holster however, but that's
not what I'd want for casual carry.

I think I mentioned this once before but it may be worth repeating.
Last year I was talking to the manager of a local gun store who could
own and carry anything he wanted. His choice for a pocket gun is the
Kel-Tec 9mm (PF-9).

http://www.gunsandammo.com/reviews/kel-tec-pf-9-review/

It's not beautiful and probably not silky smooth, but it is small
enough and light enough to be a good pocket gun.

The Kel-Tec is a DAO, which I don't like, but which is probably preferable when there's no safety.
Bud's is out of stock but appears to be getting a little less than $300 for them when they're
available. That's not bad if expense is an issue.

Ruger copied it without the kinks and they added a thumb safety and an
obnoxious loaded chamber indicator. Some folks don't like those
features. Ruger also copied Keltec's 380 and fixed the bugs in it as well.

Ruger probably did that to make them legal in MA and CA.

Overall, I like the Ruger handguns that I've tried. I also like their
rifles.

I don't go to the range as much as I did during the summer and am now
looking at my modest armory and wondering why I have so many different
types of firearms. Might pick a couple of favorites and get rid of the
rest.
