Well if you get caught with it you'll have a lenghty stay in prison and they will extort lots of money from the family. Not worth it get a pellet
pistol.

I wouldn't carry a 9mm. My CC is a Glock 29. Big difference in stopping power between 9-10mm.

hola bajaguy,
as you stated, " NON-BAJA TRIPS " and i am sure you are aware of the problems you can encounter in mexico with a gun or even just ammunition.
i carry either a loaded sig 380 or a browning 9mm high power when i travel on long distance trips. yes, i keep it loaded and next to me when i'm
driving and IF i get pulled over, i will put my hands on the steering wheel and tell the cop i do have a loaded gun next to me.
there will be consequenses if caught but i'd rather be safe than sorry when driving through desolate areas with my wife.
i guess i've been lucky not being caught or having to use it as i've been doing this for over 30 years and if we check into a resort, i unload the gun
and declare it and have it put into the hotel safe.
i also carry one when surf fishing with my wife in desolate areas. it used to be legal as i do have an article in an older fish and game article. i
don't know if it's currently legal though.
BIEN SALUD, DA RAT

Glock 27 is a subcompact of the 23. They also make a 40 barrel for the 29 which is also a subcompact.

Nothing is free anymore. Now it's "The Land Of The Reasonable."

I'm not worried about concealed or otherwise carry......I hold an HR-218 card from Nevada.....and I usually carry a Glock 23 in .40 caliber, just
wanted something smaller/slimmer to carry in my back pocket.

The very best gun for self defence is a 12 gauge shotgun. Load that baby up with as many rounds of 00-buckshot as it will hold and give thanks to the
good Lord that you're not on th receiving end of what comes.

First of all, I would use #4 buckshot, and second of all, it doesn't conceal very well..............I already have a shotgun, looking for a pocket
pistol!!!!!!

It is a great weapon for self protection. It is so small that you can stick it behind your money in a front pocket and it is undetectable. Downside is
that it is only accurate for 5-10 feet. But when you need it you are within 5 feet. And a 380 hollow point has a lot of stopping power even on a
tweeker.

Rob...........the LC-9 is a 9MM, about 1/2" larger than the Ruger LCP in 380....and yeah, I have shot the LC-9.......just looking for any Nomads that
might have one......Thanks.

ak47 with a 30rd clip is also hard to beat, and you have to be a extremely cruddy shot to not hit something 1 out of 30 times you pull the trigger.
neither is CC however.
I have a xd45 and it's a little big but it packs a wallop and has 14 shots if I remember right.
