A little hard to carry concealed, but definitely make a nice hole. Your Glock comment reminds me of a guy I saw at Walmart one day... if you’re carrying, do not wear your “GLOCK” hat... couldn’t resist checking for the print and found it in about two seconds!
I’ve been tempted to get a “Guns are scary!” T-shirt, just so no one will look for the 686+ on my side.
I guess I could get a “Save the Whales” shirt and have the same effect.
Now, if the author wanted to compare and contrast carrying a Glock 43 & a S&W 686+, he might have some significant differences to discuss! Me? I think I can hear an XDS 45 calling my name.
Yeah, it makes it a little difficult, but I do OK with it. I just don’t like the looks of a Glock and up to a certain point, all you’re buying are looks and a name. My Webley is a perfectly reliable sidearm, looks mean as hell, I can plug a target in the black from 30 meters with it, and as you said- it makes a very nice hole.
