I did get out to the range for a little while yesterday, working with my Ruger SR9c. As I admitted, I've gotten a little lazy on EDC, carrying smaller and smaller guns. I decided to turn that around. My EDC recently has been a Kahr CW9 backed up with an 8-round magazine, chosen specifically for the full-sized grip (and the fact that the Kahr shoots like a house afire). I carried the SR9c, a Glock 26-sized gun, for a while a few years back but just got out of the habit after a long stretch of carrying a revolver. The advantage of the SR9c is pure capacity…10 + 1 in the gun; 17 rounds in back-up magazine.
I reached out to my friend Mark Houskeeper at Mag Holder, who make the best horizontal magazine holders in the business, and he says the SR mags will work perfectly in a mod'ded XD holder, so I ordered a couple. As an aside, I hear that a top gunsmithing group is looking seriously at the SR9 platform for some offerings. Right now, Galloway Precision has the field all to themselves (and I LOVE what Galloway is doing on their Tier One Carry Service, adding a red dot to the smaller guns...definitely thinking of trying this with the CW-9) I've always felt the SR9 was far too overlooked for the great gun that it is. I have shot the crap out of the full-sized SR9s and the compact and have never had the slightest issue with them. If Ruger would make me a longer slide version cut for optics, I'd love them forever.
Bane, thanks for posting this. I bought one of those mags some time ago and this post reminded me. I couldn't find it (lots my stuff seems to go missing) at first but finally did along with a holster for double action revolvers. I almost needed that holster a few weeks ago but could not locate it. Thanks!

Mance v Holder: Dist ct applies strict scrutiny, holds ban on buying a handgun from out-of-state dealer violates #2A.
Ironically, My Kahr P9 (I've posted picts of it before, a SM&A gun) had the grip cut down to PM9 size. I have small hands, so it's not a big deal for me. I too love my Kahr.

Expect the court case to eventually be appealed all the way to USSC if they will hear it...

Add me to the Kahr klan. My CW45 equipped with Viridian's green Reactor laser may be the finest CCW I've carried in 27 years as a permit holder.
