Very cool. Thanks for the info. My boss is actually looking for a carry gun right now and I told him to look at the PPS in addition to the standard Glock, XD, and M&Ps. It looks like a nice gun.

In other news, I've found that I am indeed allowed to keep a weapon in my car in the parking lot at work, so I need to work a bit on keeping it as secure as possible. I'll keep it easily accessable while driving and stowe it away securely when I make it to the office.

I had a Glock 26, and looked hard at the M&P9c (I have an M&P9L already). The attractive thing to me about the PPS is the single-stack magazine. That nice slim grip makes a HUGE difference in providing a low-profile carry compared to the double-stack G26 and M&P9 compact.

The Glock is very compact length and height wise but it's double-stack design still makes it pretty bulky, which can be annoying in the summer.

Right now I am looking for something that I can keep in a pocket holster for summer, and use the Glock mostly in the spring/fall/winter. I'm looking hard at the Kahr CM9 because I really would like to stay with the 9mm round and that one seems like it would fit the bill -- but I know it'd require at least 200 flawless rounds to ensure it's reliability.

What about a Smith & Wesson J frame? Very light weight and knockdown power of a 357 magnum. Sometimes I forget I have it in my pocket.

Smith & Wesson M&P340 with Galco IWB

Bump-firing can be done on any AR-15 (really, on any semi-auto rifle period, although it's easier on some than others). Once you get the technique down you can pick up anyone's AR-15 and bump-fire at will. What they're selling is a modified stock/grip assembly that's supposed to make it a little easier and more reliable (and probably not beat up your shoulder quite as much).

The general idea with bump-firing a regular AR-15 is you want to leave a small gap between the stock and your shoulder, mostly support the weight with your left hand on the handguard (or forward vertical grip), keep your trigger finger at fixed location in space, and let the recoil of each shot bounce the rifle off of your shoulder and back into your trigger finger.

Some people find it easier to start out this way: Start with the butt against your shoulder and your finger on or just in front of the trigger, and then use your left hand (on the handguard / front grip) to pull the rifle forward into the trigger and away from your shoulder to fire the first round (at which point the same cycle happens as above).

Yeah but with this stock it makes bump firing so much more easier especially with a 100 round drum

100-round mag dumps. Looks like a great way to ruin a good barrel much faster. Each to their own....I think I'll stick with semi auto.
