Thanks. I'll do that. A 2" belt sounds attractive.

M&P 2.0 Compact

Thanks. The Alien Gear band has the Kydex holster built in. It claims to be breathable but I can't tell how it'll feel without buying it which is the reason I asked. I'll have a look at the Alpha for sure. I forget the one I tried when this leg issue started but it was so hot that it was nearly...

Due to inflammation of several processes on the outside of my right hip, I can't wear any holster there. Yes, I can do an appendix carry without irritating the area but I'm mentally uncomfortable for all the common reasons with that carry. I tried a belly band and while it worked for carry, it...

I'll mention the 1911 in 380 but he specifically liked the no safety release of his S&W. I suppose the grip safety of the 1911 works well but everybody I know who is familiar with the 1911 and so carries it keeps the manual safety on while carrying. That's his issue. I don't think recoil an...

Yes, I looked the Staccato up and while I'd very much wish to have one, they are out of bounds in this case for several reasons.

I wondered if a .32 existed that met his criteria but failed to find one. While a tip up firearm would be better than no firearm, he's mentally ready to 'downgrade' to a lesser caliber but not to the point of losing that many follow up shots. I wonder if people are tougher or what. A 32 used to...

Yes, seeing your post made me realize I left out important and relevant data in my OP. My apologies.

Shield

Again, he's my senior. I'm trying to help a nice neighbor. I figure it's for him to decide these things just as it will be someday for all of us.

I never heard of that brand. I'll look into it.

He knows these exist. Again, I'm trying to accommodate him rather than change his views. A revolver would also be available in the 22 mag.

He apparently defines the 19 as full size. I also think, as does he, that a 22 lr. is better than a nothing but the idea of 22 mag seemed to interest him.

I have to accept his statement of condition. I'm *hardly* the guy to try to give him instructions.

His concern about racking is clearing a jam. This man is well trained and knows his stuff. I doubt he'd also be willing to ask me to clean his weapon after a range day. He's got his dignity that was earned. It's his issue if he wishes to carry a duty size or compact or sub compact or one of...
