[QUOTE="Mad Professor, post: 3220371, member: 5316"] I get that. But seriously, why do you have to go all the way from a $250 gun combo to a "$750-$1,000 for a gun and a holster" statement. I'm sorry if I offended you. I've been fortunate to be able to afford the purchase of guns, supporting equipment, ammo, and training to devote to the pistol craft. The statements I made were intended to help pass on some of the knowledge I have gained through my experiences. I've seen gun after gun fail in classes in one way or another. It doesn't always have to do with price. I think I've seen as many Kimbers fail as anything. People even invest large amounts of money to get Glocks to fail. It that is all you can afford, fine. Clarify your statements that a budget is the primary consideration. Keepers Concealment is top-shelf for the targeted application. I would have pushed you toward a used Shield and a Keepers Errand (if AIWB is your desire) and you would have been in for $325. You don't have to go to $750. On my hip right now, I am carrying a 1st Gen M&P Full Size in a Milt Spark VMII Holster. You can get into that used ~ $350 gun, $150 for a new holster. Taurus does not have a good track record. I admit the G2C does look a bit promising. It may be acceptable, but they have an uphill battle to overcome all of the negatives. I also do not recommend a manual safety for anything be a SA gun.
