If you are looking for single stacks I'd also take a look at the Kahr P, CW, PM, and CM line. They are really nice and come in a variety of calibers.

I have a CM9 that I carry when my G26 is too big. It has 6+1 capacity so I always carry a spare mag in my pocket.

Glock 26 too big? Never heard that before!

Ny is insanely beautiful, but the laws there are crap. I'm headed to Fayetteville, ar, myself. If you like big cities it wont work, but I like smaller, layed back, mellow, and lots of greenery and streams. U of A keeps the town fresh.

It's thick and prints depending on clothing and carry method. This is why I love my shield.

I lived up there for about a year and you're right. A year was all I could stand.

Yeah, this is literally the worst place I have ever been. The only thing is that I love my job and the pay is stellar. I'm buying all my class 3 toys, etc now, and when I move all ill have is rent and a car note. Want to put 1/2 down on 30-40 acres, pay it off in a year, and build a house the next year if I'm still liking fayetteville. Would love to do vtac barracade drills in my back yard.

I cannot tell you who makes Brown Tip, but I can tell you that Barnes manufactures the projectile.

I have put XM556FBIT3 and M855 through cinderblock, as well, but they are not near as consistent. Still, even the brown-tip just "made it through". It certainly wouldn't be lethal on the other side from what I saw. More like UGLY! bruise.

Would definitely be interested in photos.

Throwing this out there. Wollf Springs has xtra AR power recoil springs for sale. Just bought 3 yesterday.

Known as "Shrevepit" in my house, or just "The Pit". But I lived in Arkansas once long ago. Didn't see much difference other than the scenery--that and a personal property tax. I don't know what the gun laws are now but when I was there it was illegal to carry a loaded weapon in your car unless you were "traveling". Louisiana was more respectful of individual rights in that respect.

Speaking of which. Have had the Z about 7 weeks now and still can't figure out where to keep a car gun in it. Could put a snubby in the glove box but leaning over to get it in a pinch is a "tell" that could get me hurt. Same with reaching behind the passenger seat which is also problematic due to a bad shoulder (unless there is some way to secure it down low)

Thought about attaching a left handed holster to the shiny cross bar under the seat which would be ready at hand without being obvious but that seems dangerous in an accident--might break loose and fly up under my feet.

Could put a mouse gun or subcompact in the center console but don't own one that small and it isn't a good time to be a buyer now. Prefer large frame revolver or full size semi-auto.

What is left? Do I need to get a permit and just hang it on myself? Any ideas?

And in the summer, sometimes it's nice to slip this in your front pocket when you run out for a bit.

Where did you live in AR? Up near MO, it is different than littlerock and below.

I like Arkansas laws, they are much more class three friendly. I have a ccw and that's all you need to carry loaded in the vehicle.
