Favorite CC firearm?

[mcofboise]

Today was a good day, the waistband didn't feel too tight, so the Colt Officer's Model rode with me in a Summer Special. I've had the gun since they started making them and it's almost always within reach, along with a spare 7-round mag full of TAP. If I'm wearing a jacket, there's always a Wilkinson Arms Auto-Nine with 9 rounds of Stingers and a spare mag in a pocket. Some days the Walther PP will either be along in an IWB Bianchi or a Safariland shoulder holster. The shoulder rig is very nice under a T-shirt if I take a morning run. And then somedays I steal my wife's LadySmith and just drop it in a pocket. So many choices, so little body space...

Depends what the weather is and what I wear. In the summer, M35, 642, backup Mini Pug or TCP. Winter, anything I want.

Glock 27 for sure.

Followed by the FNP-9M and the CZ 75D PCR. The other two guns I don't like less than the 27, but they *can* be more problematic in hot weather. The Glock I can carry in just about anything, including board shorts.

I always hear people say they are chunky this or no easier to conceal than a 19/23 that or the grip is too short blah blah blah.

They really aren't chunky, maybe if you're stepping up from a pocket gun they are different but they are no wider than any other common service-type compact or subcompact, and the short grip makes such a major difference in concealment that there is just no comparing it to a larger gun. And the grip extensions dick it up. They shoot best with stock nine round magazine.

I can see them being no easier to carry if you insist on carrying them in the same holster you use for your 17 or 22, but as long as you use your noodle and buy it it's own dedicated IWB holster with the strengths of the gun in mind, it is the absolute best small carry pistol around.

For OWB I really like the Glock holster, it's cheap, super low profile, keeps it in nice and tight, at the right angle (modifiable by the way), holds it well, and it's cheap.

Kahr MK9 with smooth, hand filling, no clothes catching Hogue wood grips in an IWB Galco deep cover holster; or Keltec P3AT in a pocket holster when pocket carry is best option.

If I had to pick a favorite it would be my Remington Rand 1911 circa 1946.

My usual daily carry pistol is the HK45CT with Crimson Trace laser. In the summer, when it really gets hot here, my HK P2000SK. Both pistols have the light LEM trigger and shoot almost the same, with the exception of higher recoil in the 40S&W.

Glock 26 in the summer Glock 19 w/Crimson trace in the winter NAA 22mag everyday in my change pocket

 

[antiquus]

Mostly a S&W 242 scandium frame, titanium cylinder 7 shot .38 loaded with whatever is appropriate for the season. Frequently a PA-63. Sometimes a CZ-82. Sometimes a HK USP 9. Once in a great while a Victory model 10 in .38. On rare occasions I get the LCR back from the wife for a few days. Once a year for a week or so I tote a 686-6 7 shot in .357 just to remind myself why a scandium framed .38 is a sweet carry.

.38 snub suits me all right.
