I joined last week but am just now getting around to saying hi. My boyfriend and I have been going to the range together, and he encouraged me to get my CHL, we we did that class this month and now I am just waiting for the plastic. My check cleared yesterday so we shall see how long it takes. I grew up in East Texas, and shot my brothers .22 rifle a bit, plinking mostly. I went Navy after high school but only shot once in boot camp...I was, as my name suggests, a computer tech and was exempt from all other duties onboard my ship. I had gone to Reds in Pflugerville a few times just shoot, but again, I only went in for .22 shooting. MTICop introduced me to Longtooth, and a Baretta Px4 Storm I believe...and the rest is history. I have been going to the range with a pretty sweet Sig P6, and have shot MTICops impressive array as well...and have to say that I am really enjoying every aspect of it. My CHL instructor in San Antonio was very knowledgable, and I am looking forward to seeing where I can go with my training.

So, hello from Round Rock from a new enthusiast...I look forward to reading the threads, and learning from the vast experience represented here.

Welcome Round Rock boy.

My apologies Round Rock Girl. What did you settle on CHL wise?

Do you mean what have I picked as my CC? officially nothing. I have the P6 and am proficient with it...so that is what I will use until I get more experience and can make an educated purchase for that particular piece. I want to shoot the Springfield XD Sub-Compact in 9mm and see how that feels. My issue has been finding a small enough grip, and the single stack on my P6 played into that issue perfectly. So, I am still searching.

I can't find what a P6 is.
If youi're comfy with 9mms (excellent) Have you tried the Walther PPS single stack? There's also a Kahr to test. Of course if calibers don't bug you a nice Kimber Ultra Carry or Springfield version can do you for in .45 and .40 as well. I've heard good things about XD types.

Anyway welcome.

The P6 is a Sig...thats the military classification. "These are SIG P6 9mm pistols, which were the German Police and Military version of the P225. Standard single action-double action, with SIG decocker." Pulled that from a resale site. Here is a blog on it that was informational to me...

I shot a Springfield XDm .40 for my CHL class and love it, and am very accurate with it. Caliber doesn't bother me so much as the size of the weapon WITH the caliber. I shot a Kahr that was either .40 or .45, and putting 5 rounds through that was all I could handle, I thought my wrist was going to snap. (thanks for the lesson Longtooth!). I shot a Kimber .45, and that was a little too meaty for me as well.

Welcome to the forum!

Have you tried shooting an XD? I carry an XD40SC and it fits my hand much better than any Glock has as I have fairly small hands.
