Pocket carry big bore

Like the Para 6.45 but damn that thing has some heavy ass springs to overcome the light slide weight.

What about a Glock 30? Or a G29?

I also like the Taurus .44Spl snubbie. It has a very acceptable trigger but shooting hollow points is unnecessary. Thru that gun I would load LSWCs.
 
Through my Taurus 450 (45LC) I shoot LSWC handloads for woods or winter carry. I have faith in them.;)

Pocket carry big bore...

5 Wire....I believe I have decide a way to fix my mistake. I am looking for a gunsmith to take the spur off the 7.45 and either trim the grip safety similar to the 6.45 or just replace it with the same one.
 
I remember Charter Arms (or whatever the company is called now) made a 44 Spl snubby and a few other revolvers. Does anyone know what their current quality of manufacturing is? That might be an option if they're any good. I'm interested in them myself but don't have any solid info on them.
 
I've had a 44 spl Charter Bulldog Pug for years - I put a bobbed hammer on it and have carried it my pocket without a problem. Of course, it has to be the right pair of pants as its a tad heavy and prints nicely in tight pair of jeans! That said, in the right set-up it works beautifully. I know Charter has a spotty rep but that old Bulldog has served me quite well over the years - it's still one of my favorites!
 
I have a new Charter Arms .38 undercover. For the price it is not a bad gun. They still have the .44 spl in thier line up. I'm hoping that they will come out with a .45 apc on the same frame.
 
AMT Backup 45

I bought mine when they first came out.

Nowadays, you can get one used for ~$250 'round here.

Searching auctionarms.com, the most somebody paid for one in the last 90 days is $370, while some fellow bought one for $273 that included 3 mags & a spiffy aluminum pistol case.

I tried various HP rounds when I first bought it, but settled on hardball, as I doubt most JHPs would expand.

I point shoot very well with it & get COM out to 10 yards.

"I'm hoping that they (Charter) will come out with a .45 apc on the same frame."

I asked them that very question a couple weeks ago. I said now that Taurus discontinued their 2" 455 and most will not pay S&W custom shop prices, they'd be the only (reasonably priced) manufacturer of a snub .45 acp revolver and suggested they do so on the Bulldog frame. Whereas they responded to my second email regarding the Bulldog grip and hammer (interchangable with the Undercover) the morning of the next business day, I did not receive an answer to my question regarding a .45 acp on the Bulldog frame. I may ask again. Who knows...could happen.
 
...get on target for you at ranges beyond 10 ft. which the smaller P-10 just won't do.

Oops. Maybe you traded too quickly. The 3-inch Bbl Paras may take a bit of getting used to but unless you had a dud, I'd say some more trigger time would have changed your mind on that.

I had the same initial impression with my 6.45 LDA which is a single stack (LDA) version of the P-10/Warthog and also going from 4-in Bbl revolvers to snubbies. Shorter sight radius through me off until I got used to it. You probably couldn't punch 2-inch groups at 25 yards but you could definitely do 2-inches at 7 yards and paper plates at fifty feet. Excellent personal defense gun.
 
RTL, look around for a used Rossi 720. They're a good .44 special with a 3 inch barrel. I've had one for a while now and I really like it for what it is. It's a lot stronger than the Charter Arms and sells in the same price range.
 
Like Car Knocker. I carry a .45 ACP Kimber Ultra Carry II in an Andrews Pocket holster. It's approx. the same size as a Charter Undercover .38 but has more firepower and rounds. I have no problems with concealing and drawing it.
 
Glock 30

I'm considering getting a 9 rd flush mag and a Jagwear pocket holster and trying carrying it in the front right pocket of Docker style pants. I also have some Columbia brand pants with an extra zipper pocket behind the regular right front pocket. I currently carry a Kel Tek P-11 that way and would love to be able to carry my G 30 that way. I'll let you know how it works, or not lol.

I seem hung up on the AMT BAckUp DAO, but wanted to share what I have found about the item. High Standards is making them again. Not just parts, but guns as well. They have them in: 9mm; .40S&W; .45ACP; .45WinMag and .30 cal Carbine. They might appear ugly but I really like mine.
 
I think if I shot a DAO AMT in .45WinMag I would probably cry like a little girl. :eek:

I can't imagine firing a .45Win mag...OR a .30 Carbine round. I know the S&Ws are good, but they're having to win my trust back lately. I bought 2 M-645s and carried and trusted them. Also I have a M-39-2 and an old blue M-59. But the late versions of semi auto Smiths don't do it for me. Their Sigma series is, to me, no more than a copied Glock. Their CS-9s and CS-45s I have seen all scream, "I'm not a Chief's Special!" I wish they more respect for their own traditions.
