CCW GP/K/L frame vs single stack auto, why?

[03RN]

For what it's worth, you may want to consider the longer barrel if you're thinking actual belt carry. With AIWB I've found revolver barrels to 4" make no difference to concealibity and in some circumstances are actually even more comfortable than a snub of the same frame size.

I carried my 4" m19 for a year before i got my m66 and then cut an inch from the jmcustom aiwb holster.

It went from -comfortable- to -I dont even know its there.-

I definitely shoot it better then my Shield and it's less likely I shoot myself in the dick.

A thumb safety model would solve half of that equation.

I know, I know, the safety on a Shield is minuscule but it’s there...

Yeah, no thumb safeties for this guy. Especially the little nub on the Shield.

That’s right, I forgot about your no TS rule.

What kind of holster are we looking at here? AIWB for revolvers seems like slim pickings.

I bought it used here on PF. JMCK Wing claw 2.0.

The thumb safety on the shield is shit.

I’ve never understood why no one makes an extended versions like the one on the M&P 22 Compact.

I'm just not really enthused about fully-cocked single action blasters for the AIWB role, thumb safety or no. I''ve made my peace with a Glock and the SCD, but I'd really rather have a DA hammer gun for that job.

I've never actually auditioned the 3" RB K-frame in that role, and given the adjustable belt loop on the Bianchi Pistol Pocket, I really should.

I keep wishing there was a lower replacement for the M&Ps that would have it fall under my thumb just like the 1911 has since 1911, but there are probably only two or three of us out there thinking this.
