My experience matches Dframes. I started out having nothing but auto and over the years some of them started getting traded for revolvers and I have bought nothing but revolvers in the last few years. Now out of my handguns fully 2/3rds are revolver.
For carry I tend to prefer revolvers, a...
A lot of 638 lovers here, count me among the many. Mine has glow in the dark sight paint applied (day glow orange and green) and a set of crimson trace 405's. I find it a nifty little package. I also find it much easier to carry than my Glock 19, 36 or SP101 which I also love.
I do have a...
I have a S&W model 64-5 in 4" barrel. It is hands down my most accurate handgun. I love that thing. There is just something perfect about it. I have been tempted many times to carry it. I just can't find a good IWB for it.
Back on topic, it puts WC in a half dollar at 10 yards (off...
I honestly find it amazing how much some folks are carrying or say that they are carrying every day. Some of my friends think I am nuts. I carry the following every day:
Money clip - used multiple times a day.
Keypouch - also used multiple times a day.
Small titanium whistle on key...
I gave $379 plus tax for my CM9. I love it. Accurate, flawless operation, lightweight. It earned a laser and a spot in my pocket 24/7. My one beef with it is carrying an extra mag can be a pain due to rounds getting loose and I can live with that as Iusually employ it as a bug or have a...
I have a two inch DAO model. I have had trigger work done on it. I can hit 4 out of 5 golf balls at 10 yards if I stage the trigger. That may not be great to some of you fine folk but for me that is as good as I can do with a handgun.
I agree with what was said about the trigger face...
I have only put 113 rounds through my Kahr CM9 so far but it has been flawless and is super easy to carry. I had an LC9 I traded in at a major loss after nickeling the slide and upgrading the sights. The controls were still rusting and it was ticking me off. I would recommend the Kahr highly...
I actually think this XDs is maybe the perfect CCW gun. Especially for us 45 guys. I will admit to being lazy and carrying my CM9 or jframe nowadays more than my G19 or SP101. This gun might be a nice compromise. I like the lower decibels of the 45 and of course the size.
This gun...
A generation 3 G19 has been the most reliable automatic pistol I have ever owned. Therefore it is my primary carry firearm 90% of the time with an equally reliable Smith 638 taking up the other 10% for short jaunts or athletic endeavors that do not allow the Glock. I cannot speak to the Gen4...
The whole grip angle thing fascinates me. I know people who love their 1911, hate the Glock angle, but love a Luger which is even more steep. I always found that strange.
Am I the only weird person on the planet that can switch between 1911 and Glock (at the same range session) without...
Love my Glock 36, I carry it every day. That said a shield in 9mm and 40SW are on my short list, like number 2 and 3 behind one other handgun. They are that good.
NG thanks for the kind reply. I think I was thinking mass, weight, velocity and then the whole physics thing and my head was drifting when I posted.
More on topic, many folks chose handgun for home defense as a necessity (like myself) where they may have an anti-gun spouse or small...
@ GG, your right, I saw a nice demonstration of that on Guns and Ammo show or one of those. Since I don't own a 223 and my only long guns are a 22LR and a 7.62x54 the 45acp works better for me in MY house.
Heck I just want one of those little things that look like a small toolbox but fold...
NG VI you should change your screen name to nitpicker perhaps. I meant weight not density. Not sure why I typed density. Either way it doesn't make me the dumbest person on the planet nor you the smartest for noting my poor choice of verbage. I guess maybe a Grammar Police gold star?
I...
I would favor the 45. Even in a carbine. From a carbine your fps would be well over 1,000 and even quiter. I like velocity quite a lot, but as long as there is enough of it to get the job done, then density and diameter start to make a round pull ahead. But to each their own. Most important...
Well, I think the answer is pretty clear. Carry bear spray, the 45 is for the less fuzzy threats or a last ditch when the spray fails.
I do want to respond to one other post. The fellow who said that the 45 was made to harass and not kill or some such. I believe you are referring to...
