I want to thank everyone who replied recently to some of my questions about
the S&W 6906. The consensus seems to be that the 6906 is a fine, reliable weapon
but is a little wide for concealed carry for some people. I test-fired one
at a local range and couldn't stand the trigger pull.
So, I decided to get the Star Firestar. I have already ordered it from my
friendly neighborhood FFL. My questions now are the following:
1) What do you suggest for care of this handgun? It has an electroless
nickel finish.
2) Has anyone out there had good or bad experiences with various
holsters for it? I don't even know whats available. I want a
holster that's strong side belt-level, but I haven't decided
whether I want an inside-the-pants, pancake, or whatever. I'd
love your comments.
3) Finally, what do you feed this little rascal? I'm currently leaning
towards Federal 115 gr JHP's, but i'd love to hear some discussion
on the various 9mm loads. (Maybe a thread on this topic alone?)
Thanks in advance for your replies.
