I have a small .38 revolver.
I don't pocket carry but if I did, I think the Ruger LCP or LC9 would make a better "pocket" gun. Plus, they hold more rounds.
Yes. someone messed up the bulleye by mounting a sling mount on it.
Because your bulleye hole is jagged/ uneven. I would take the sling mount off. Fill the hole with color matching wood filler (sold at home depot, etc ). Once the filler has dried, refinish the area, redrill the hole and insert...
Sold my G26 after I brought a shield plus. I like the way the shield plus fits in my hands (& I wear a size large glove). It's also slimmer for conceal carry. The G26 was more chunky.
I have a G19 for HD. I don't carry it because the shield is easier to conceal.
I believe Walmart started that process around a year ago in order to purchase ammo from them.
Some/ my Walmart has a computer setup to take your info instead writing it on paper.
