Welcome, @rchmol5. Enjoy, carry always, practice often, know the laws.  Keep an eye on the DE legislature. Stay safe.

I remember it like it was yesterday.

I also remember when my wife got hers: it was a Saturday, and we were about to drive to Rehoboth. For some reason, I had a feeling that the mail might have good news. I put my J-frame in an Uncle Mike's pocket holster in the center console, and we picked up the mail at the end of the driveway... when we saw the permit, I handed her the revolver to put in her purse.

Congrats.  Opening that envelope is like coming down the stairs on Christmas morning.

Yeah I went and ahot a few mags yesterday to stay sharp.
From 1 day of carrying a G26 with a Gatco holster, I feel like
I need to trim a few pounds and that the baby glock doesnt
Feel so babyish its a little on the thicker side. My only other
Right now is a full size M&P .45 fits in the holster but u might as well
Have 9lbs block hanging off u. Any sugguestions? LC9  seemed
Like a good one but I hat that long travel for the first shot. Budget
About 500 maybe this M&P for a trade I dont know a hwlpe out guys. ??? ???

Yes, they're big and bulky, but you can trust your life to a Glock. For me, reliability -- and 10mm firepower -- trumps comfort.

We all just watched that video from New York City. Sure, a LC9 might have come in handy for that poor guy... but a big-bore Glock would have been even better.

Be a pessimist.

Guessing. IWB with usual size waistband?  Do you have one size large waist trousers and a good stiff belt?  G26/G27 is a good EDC.

Yeah I have a iwb stow n go but I might try the tuck in go seein
How it says it hold the pistol lower but the re-holster part is what takes pratice,  when I was
In AF we had the old worn M9 Berretta that strap in into the vest
So this conceal thing  is weird.

You might try a Safepacker... it seems mostly invisible to police and civilian alike, even though it hangs out there on your belt in plain sight.
