[QUOTE="p238shooter, post: 2897940, member: 24583"] I totally agree with shot placement as number one, I would not want to take a 22 short up my nose. For my carry, I need size 35 waist jeans, impossible to find. I buy 36's and carry a .45 IWB to take up the slack rather than having a belt wrinkle and it works well for me. It also helps that I had worn a tool pouch on my side for many years, so the weight feels natural. For shorts or slacks, and while doing some high movement activities like rolling on the floor under a tractor or automobile I sometimes carry a Sig P238 which is a baby 1911 in .380 cal in my front pocket. Both function identically, draw while pushing the thumb safety down, push out to aim, trigger pull, done. I practice two mid body shots, then after I have their attention, one head shot. I am a little more accurate on my second shot with the 1911 for some reason, I guess the recoil gets my attention more, need to work on that with the .380. Been thinking about practicing 44-44. I know I will never get there, but I can practice getting as close as I can. 4 yards 4 inch target 4 shots And THE kicker, 4 seconds Yep, I got some work to do, especially if I am going to be taking 4 steps backward while doing this. I most likely will not be joining the pro tour soon, but it is fun practicing. Kinda like trying to make babies at 70 yr old. Everyone has to have an ultimate goal in mind to work on while having fun. don't they? Did I mention shot placement has always been important to me? [/QUOTE]
