its not breakin, its actually because the gun is so small the spring doesnt have enough coil to eject the cartridge.

you actually have to modify them with a stronger spring to make them any sort of reliable

For those that carry concealed weapons, are any locations off limits?
Example: Banks, Hospitals, Schools, Public transit, Etc.?

Just curious as to what the limitations are.

Thanks,
Zak

In Indiana you can't in a court house, airport, business that has a posted sign, school (you can have it in your car if you are picking up or dropping off) state fair, river boat gambling facility. I think that's pretty much it, may be a few others like a bar but I have not seen that listed for Indiana. This is with a CCW permit, exposed or concealed. You can carry a loaded long gun without a permit. As long as you can legally own a gun.

In an observation tower
I carry any one of the following
-S&W model 638/Crimson Trace
-Sig P228
-Glock 23

The manner of dress & mood determines which gun.
Usually the revolver..I have a pocket holster & fits well inside a cargo pants pocket.
If I wear jeans I have to go to some manner of pancake hip holster.
I carry everywhere that doesn't require me to pass through a metal detector.
Just picked up a Glock 29SF for my bro..
10mm of mayhem in a very easy-to-carry package.

CCW here. I use an inside the waist band holster to conceal my Glock 17. Very rarely I will some times conceal my AR-15 in a small back pack broken up into the upper and lower.

Funny, I have easily put 1,000 rounds through my Kel Tec PF9 and had one issue. It was with a reload out of bag my buddy bought at the range. I have NEVER had a jam of any sort either. The gun does what I want it to and with its small size can be concealed just about anywhere on my person.

I carry my Ruger LCP 380 every day in my pocket. If I'm wearing heavier clothes or just feeling like something more, I carry my Kimber Custom II. That one I carry in either a Desantis thumb break OWB holster, or a Desantis NY Undercover shoulder holster.

i think my plan is to keep my xd .40 so Id be picking the walther up in 9mm form

I have one in Florida and carry a Glock 27 but thinking about picking up a Kel Tek 380 because of how small they are.

i just dont trust that small of gun. my thought is, if it was small and reliable, other manufacturers would adopt it. until springfield, glock or someone builds something similar, i'll shy away
