Which "style" of firearm do you carry and/or rely upon for home defense?

December 27, 2004, 04:25 PM
My two main carry guns are a DA/SA semi, and a revolver. I carry the semi-auto more often, so I chose that option.

I carry a revolver, but am thinking of switching to a SA/DA autoloader (CZ Rami) or a DA 1911-style autoloader (Para LDA Carry). I'll probably go with the CZ because I can use the high-cap mags for my 75B in a pinch.

Your categorical choices do not allow for striker-fired actions such as found on Glocks, so I guess I'd have to go with "something else."

Most of the time a P230 , sometimes a Beretta 9000S , sometimes a Ruger SP101 , occasionally an S&W 3913 , been known to tote an SP2340 or P220 occasionally , maybe even a Glock 27 or Walther P99 ; pretty much anything in the safe really . I actually have no preference at all towards action or type , though there are no wheel guns I like better than the SP so that's my be all and end all revolver . I'll usually carry whatever I've shot the most - most recently but more often than not it's about as complicated a decision as picking socks : whatever's clean and available :)

I voted for SA 1911 style as my primary carry guns are either 1911, BHP, or my xd. I also have been known to carry revolvers(642) and DASA(my brothers bersa). All of the above might have been a good option choice :D but then I guess we all would have picked that one.

Main carry piece is a Kimber CDP Custom. Secondary would be either a Kimber Pro CarryII or Springfield TRP. After that comes Kimber Ultra Carry II, Sig 228, Sig 229, Sig 226, a different S/A TRP, Glock 19, Glock 23, Glock 29 and then there is always the pocket pistol which could be from day to day either a Kel Tec P32, Davis 38 derringer, J-Frame S&W, Beretta Jetfire or maybe what's on me most and nobody even knows it, a customized S&W mdl. 38 that I've been knocking around with since my great-uncle left it to me. Yeah, it's always there, just left of the middle button on my shirt.

I carry a 4" 586 loaded with a 158 JHP. I also carry two HKS speed loaders for those times when I need to repel the Mongol Hordes.:D

And, because I live in the country, I use a Marlin 336 for HD.

January 9, 2005, 06:32 PM
My HD handgun is currently a Beretta 96 FS, but I am about to rotate in my CZ97B.
My carry gun (as soon as I get my permit, should be any day now!) is going to be primarily a SP101 .357, although the 96 and 97 will both be carried on occasion.

so, since the poll says Carry Gun, I voted revolver, since that will be my primary carry piece.
