    rethinking my CCW choice

    CCW Choice For the most part in the past my carry gun was as S&W 642. But I have recently switched to a S&W M&P9c with a capacity of 12+1. I have over 800 rds in this auto and have not had a single FTF or FTE. Of course, I still have my 642 (along with other firearms), but now I carry the M&P.
