A P-38 as a CCW gun?

[Adam Helmer]

Mr. 16 gauge,

Points well taken about the P-38. I do not carry a P-38 in a trench coat or jacket pocket, so I do not have a problem with snagging. My Colt M1911 also requires two hands to change magazines: strong hand holds the Colt while strong thumb presses the mag catch and weak hand feeds in the new mag. I do the P-38 by holding the grip in my strong hand and pressing the mag catch with the weak hand thumb and inserting the new mag. I hope I keep my "fiddling" to a minimum and after 8 rounds of Silvertips, I may not need the second mag. LOL.
