Precisely the info I had hoped to learn. Thanks all

My search didn't return any results. What is the feeling on the quality of these rifles?

Every now and then I pull out this beauty from the cold war and admire its simplicity. I've carried it concealed on occasion. Who carries a Makarov regularly? (Define 'regularly' in any way you wish) Do you rotate it with other CCW carries? What ammo for defense? What carry rig? Any...

It's funny how over the past 20 years I've gone through phases with respect to concealed carry. Even though your PM9 has fallen out of favor in summer of '15, I wouldn't be surprised to see it make its way back at some point in the future. Given your situation you described, I'd keep it.

Well, since you said any input, I'll chime in. I have the P11 and I think it's a good pistol. I believe Kel-tec's traditionally seen as more established than the Sccy. I have had 4 Kel-tecs: P11, P3AT, PF-9, and Sub 2000 and I've felt good about all of them. I haven't owned or fired a Sccy.

So the OP's pretty impressed by the thoughtful responses.

Phaedrus, you've gotta get yourself one. It's about as handy as a wristwatch.

So, I'm bored tonight. Arbitrary poll... between the two, which would you choose for home defense and why?

Let's see pics of your favorite Personal Defense Weapons (the specific genre that term refers to) and tell us why it's your favorite.

I'm hoping for an intelligent discussion on the issue of high-powered handguns for self-defense. Here's my premise: It's been well established that handguns are under-powered as anti personnel weapons. If one were to be forced to knowingly go into harm's way, he would want to carry a long gun...

I don't know much about the American. Is it a good rifle?

Well it's clear Therma is looking for a fight, and I know some people enjoy stirring the pot a little and I won't actually begrudge him that too much. Insulting the Garand around here is like insulting the flag. But while everyone else will jump at the opportunity to flame him, I'll say the US...

Saw it on Slickguns.

Last info on this weapon here on THR was from 2011. Anybody have any experience with these?

I outfitted mine in the Kahr wood grips and, yes, it is absolutely gorgeous.
