Thanks to everyone for such great suggestions! I will certainly look into the grips suggested and, yes, Treo, we have the same idea about keeping our guns similar as far as ammo needed and such. Your suggestion about the 26 is something worth looking into further. I did rent a 26 before we purchased our 19's and I remember liking it. And, the Kel Tec carbine suggestion will be most helpful. I didn't realize it would be compatible with our 19 magazines! In the meantime, trying out the grips will my next move since the cost of e grips are so reasonable!
(PS I didn't mean to hi-jack this thread! I am hoping this is helpful information for all newbies!)
Here's everything you ever wanted to know about the
Kel-Tec Sub 2000 pistol caliber rifle.
Here's the Kel-Tec gallery of one of the best firearms photographers on the planet,
Oleg Volk. Many of the marketing pictures that you see of firearms are his work.
If I recall correctly, this is a picture of his 15 year old daughter firing the Sub 2000:
And this is a "go bag" with a S2K in its folded condition, with a Glock (19?) included in the kit:
Customizing a S2K is easy.
A 9mm's ballistic profile is significantly improved by being fired from a rifle barrel, and the Kel-Tec Sub 2000 is one of the most versatile, as well as one of the least expensive, platforms for squeezing the most velocity and energy out of the 9mm round out there. And yes, they are made to accommodate the Glock 19 magazines.
And finally, for all the ladies looking for advice on concealed carry or weapon choice from a female perspective, I ran across this young lady's YouTube channel a couple or three years ago, and it has turned out to be the first place my wife goes when evaluating different carry methods for herself. Here is the
link to her Channel, and this is one of her early videos on different holsters she's either tried or that she uses on a regular basis. Hope it helps.
