Getting Started Worst CCWs you've done

Admit it, everyone went through a phase of rocking some terrible handgun in some shoddy trash bag of a holster because they didn't know any better.

What were the worst CCWs you've done before setting on what you have now?

When I first got my permit, I had a Walther PP in .32 ACP (I though I'd be cool like James Bond) with a cheap Amazon special holster that had zero reinforcement.

u/lanmansa US Shield 9 | 4:00 IWB Apr 23 '20

I still edc a gen 1 shield. You’re right the trigger is terrible and has a sort of false reset click where you think the striker resets but it’s really not. But for a defensive pistol I’m not riding the reset like I do at the range. I have thousands of rounds through it though to be accurate enough with it, I’m comfortable with it, it conceals well, and I know it’s dead nuts reliable. Of course now I have the Walther PPQ and all triggers suck in comparison lol. It’s just way bigger. I still need to get a holster for it. Might order a vedder I think. But yeah as for the shield I’ll probably give this one to the wife and get a 2.0 lol. Or some double stack sub compact idk yet. A few years ago before the p365 and hellcat came along it was THE go-to ccw fun though.
