My problem with assault rifle ban's to date is that they really ought to
use some sort of smart criteria to decide what exactly it is they want
to ban. The 1994 law banned specific guns that looked scary or had
scary looking accessories. (flash suppressor.... so dangerous!)
In the military use of the term "assault rifle", full auto is the
feature that makes it "assault" and not just a rifle, but full auto has
been very hard to get for a very long time.
I could drop into Walmart right now and buy a very dangerous semi-auto
.277 or .30-06, and I think it might be the case that the only thing
making it not an "assault rife" in some minds is that it doesn't look as
tactical as an AR-15.
I am *not* against restricting access to a weapon that is deemed too
dangerous for untrained civilian psychos who might go berserk with it,
but they need to use real performance or design characteristics when
they come up with what it is they want to ban. Just sayin'.

i'm also a Progressive Libtard (registered independent) that thinks we
should ban assault rifles and large magazines just as we have banned
hand grenades, bombs, rocket launchers and other military style/grade
weapons. I've had my Hunter's safety card since I was 12 and I also
went to high school next to Columbine in CO. My younger sister had
friends who died in the attack.
2 cents.

It wasn’t just the backstrap that bothered me. Mostly the diamond
pattern just didn’t feel good in my hands. I just did a bit of
looking now though and it looks like there are some options for
fixing that. I might have to look into them again. I really like
the Sig P938 so far though.
I missed your comment about Glock fanboys. Shocking we haven’t
had any so far but the thread devolved into politics from a simple
question of what brand/model of pistol we like. For the record,
I’ve yet to meet a Glock that I’d want to own.

XDS has replaceable grip backstraps.

Sig P938 is 9mm and almost exactly the same size as a P238. I’ve
got the SAS model (anti snag). I’ve also got a S&W M&P Shield in
9mm and have looked at the Springfield XDS many times. I just
can’t get over the fact that I don’t like the grips on the XDS.
Prime reason to go with the XDS is that you can get it in 45ACP.
There are a lot of cheaper brands out there too.
If you have a place where you can do it, go and test fire all the
different options. My father-in-law bought a Glock 36 because
several people told him how great they were. The problem is that
it doesn’t fit his hand well at all and the trigger digs into his
finger so he shoots terrible with it. His accuracy is greatly
improved using my M&P Shield.
No matter what you get though. A major key to carrying it safely
is practice and being comfortable with it.

That was one thing I forgot to mention with the P238.. it has a
manual safety as well, if that's important to you. I personally
don't really care, but it's another good point.

A lot of people are carrying a gun that has no safety. The
safety is released by squeezing the trigger, essentially. I
have kids, and although I plan to keep my gun far away from
them, I cannot on a clear conscience carry a gun with no
safety. I have been considering a revolver. My bro has a CC
and he recommends something smaller, so it doesn't jab you in
the side whenever you sit down. I am still looking for the
right gun for a CC. I've already had a gun pulled on my at a job.

Now, I am looking for an excellent CC gun to use, as my long

I am certain that this group probably has a LOT of expertise
(and many opinions) on THE gun to use.
