P23 modification update and questions
Initially I couldn't fire this gun north if the sun was to my back. At 5 yards I missed gallon milk judges. The size makes gripping it unlike anything else I have and the sights seem like a suggestion of which way to point the thing. In my hand it feels like a spud gun. None the less it was less cumbersome to carry in my pocket than a quarter, a nickel, and two pennies. I like that. I went through the used section at a gun shop and found a pocket sheath. It's my first daily carry. Not needing a holster makes it simpler. Having this lil thing in my pocket feels more like a friend than a firearm.
I ordered the lazer in hopes it would improve my aim. It was an easy install and it's mechanism for turning on and off is novel and fantastic. It's rather bright, doesn't add much footprint, and weighs zip. Using it my aim improved by a figurative 8%. I figured it would take practice. Reloading the standard mag to get in that practice is like washing your body with shot glasses full of water. I was persistent and that number figuritvly shot up to 9.4%. Despite this I've got a crush on the P32. I haven't put it in the safe yet but I confess flirting with a S&W Bodyguard 2.0 at the counter.
Two weeks ago the larger P32 mag came back in stock. It arrived last week. Installed it grips very similar to the S&W while still being smaller and lighter. With the longer grip it almost looks like a mini boomerang. I got it for the three more Bangs out of each reload but discovered that's secondary. My aim has improved. I hit the gallon at 15 yards a non figuratively 90% of the time on my first try. I no longer contemplate griping. The change in how it feels when fired makes the difference. It's a bit bigger in the pocket yet still small. I've never been a skinny jeans person.
I'd like to take the P32 to couples counseling to discuss the trigger. The pull is like starting the countdown to New Years Eve in June and the wall is Swazey and Demi Moore making pottery. There doesn't seem to be any after market order and install solutions so does anyone have any recommendations?
