It’s Giffords

I have a Rock Island M206 that shit the bed on me. It's a $200 gun. I really don't feel like paying to get it fixed. How do I dispose of a broken gun?

Im not in love with the compact pistol I currently own. It's a SAR b6c (hammer fired, 3.7" barrel) and it's fine, but it just doesn't really excite me. I'm not very accurate with it, the grip is fine... better than most, but just fine, not great, or even really good. Also, very few holsters for it, and none that I have run across that work well for me personally. Consequently, the b6c is on the chopping block.

I'm a practical person, not a gun collector. I want the few guns I'm going to own to be exactly right and if they aren't, then I'm going to sell them and either get something I prefer or maybe just go without.

So, since I want hammer fired, with the option of an actual safety (I grew up shooting rifles and berettas) my options are relatively limited. I have tried the CZ P-09 C at the range. I prefer the trigger on the b6c by a good bit. The CZ has a long DA pull and a very abrupt, almost "touchy" SA trigger. But I'm more accurate with it than the b6c, the grip feels better, (but it's also just bigger in almost all dimensions, so that's always going to feel better). Being larger makes it harder to conceal, although I don't actually carry now, and likely will never regularly carry, but I MIGHT, and if I'm going to have a 2nd 9mm in addition to my sar9 full size, it needs to fill a different role.

So my question(s) for folks:

If you have a p-07 or p-09, how long did it take to get used to the trigger and how do you feel about it now? (I know cajun makes various trigger packages but I'm not looking for a competition gun or to spend another $150+ modding the gun after I buy it)

For those who have the compact P-07/09, how do you feel about the added width compared with other ccw guns? How does it affect your carrying?

Please please please

This is a pretty deranged take.

To clarify, my pistol is my primary. This is a supplement. As the sole person responsible for my family’s safety I have multiple roles: driver, medic, and of course making sure my family is safe. In the event of an emergency my main goal is to get them away. If this rig gets deployed, something has gone VERY wrong. That said… I have begun to view my firearms as a martial art. While fun, drills like these take on a meditative quality for me, not unlike Iaido practitioners. I hope you like this and found it entertaining.
