If I pocket carry for a long time, it's most likely a Seecamp or Tomcat .32 ACP.

Sometimes I'll slip a .32 magnum snubnose in my pocket to step outside if I'm not already wearing it.

(I use a pocket holster in either case.)

I carry a P32. I'd still like to know how you shove a G27 in your pocket. Maybe I need bigger pockets. I think it would be easier to carry a brick.
 
Jennings J22... internal firing pin. No hammer, no cyclinder, no problems...

Jim, why did you pick a 32gr 1,000fps when you could have gone with a much more preferable and deadly 38gr JHP Hi-vel at the same speed? That, I believe (I hated physics class so I'm not doing any computational numbers here...) puts the .22LR closer to the .22mag than before... Plus, atleast around here, most people don't use any .22LR round lower than 38gr... I've never even seen anything lower than 38gr Hi-Vel ammo around... seen heavier, 40gr, but not lighter.
 
I like either 158 gr. half jackets or the 125 gr JHP in my scandium framed .357 magnum.
 
I'm really going to show my ignorance, here... but what's all this out-of-battery talk?

Simply put, in the case of a SA Pistol, it just means that the slide is not in the fully forward position, i.e., slide pushed rearward slightly. You can cause this by pressing the muzzel against an object or person's body. :(
 
With Dockers you can carry (not really conceal IMHO) 4" K/L frames and 4" N frames. I would think G27 would be to heavy for comfortable carry with most pants though.

What kind of holster and pants are the G27 people using?
 
At up-close range it's pretty easy to tie up a snubby by just grabbing the cylinder. If the hammer is cocked you try to get a finger under it.

Now I'm no expert and I'm not tryin to tell anyone anything, but this (may or may not depending on circumstances) go against whay I've been taught about SD scenarios. That you don't fight the weapon, you fight the man.

All I'm sayin is you might not want to put too much focus on the weapon he has. While you're focusing on your thumb wrestling with his gun, he sticks you with a knife with his off hand. The man is the threat. Take out the threat.

Just thoughts.

I don't get it. :confused: So you're suggesting the gun be ignored ? You don't take it away if you have a chance? :rolleyes:

The weapon is very much a part of the threat. Didn't your training mention weapon retention and disarming techniques? :scrutiny:

All that's been mentioned is one tiny aspect of many defensive/offensive manuvers. :)

If you are ever in the right situation and are not aware of such manuvers, you may, indeed, suddenly find that your weapon has been taken away from you and you are suddenly at the mercy of a perpetrator armed with YOUR weapon. :eek: Not Good! :eek:

Conversely, if the perp has the weapon and you're unarmed, you need be able to consider ALL options. One of those, should you be familiar with disarming techniques, and have the opportunity, is to simply take the weapon away. Don't rule out any options before assessing the situation. :banghead:

Gee. Did I really get that wordy? ... :D

Well shore you take it away from him. But if he's got some mammoth hold on it and dont give it up immediately, dont ignore it but dont overly focus on the gun thats all. A guns only a deadly weapon when someones holding it. If you continue fightong the gun only you may deprive yourself of other options, thats all.

If you're fighting the gun hand, the rest of the deadly weapon (man) is free to continue his attack in other ways at the same time. If you crush his larynx or or rip out his eyeball or something in the middle of it all, he's likely to turn his attention inward instead of on you or his gun.

I'm just not re iterating this as effectivly as it was taught to me, I guess.
 
Edward429451: If I may put words in your mouth? I think your trying to say don't get tunnel vision in the tactical sense.

And that you have to defeat your opponent not his weapon (ie if you can pych him out that works also).
 
Glamdring and Edward....

I don't think anyone has suggested that. :banghead: I think we can agree it's wise to Maintain All Options and Apply That Which Seems Most Effective In a Given Situation . :D
 
does my MK40 count as a pocket gun? with somewhat loose cargo pants I've been known to slip it in my front pocket. it also works in my rear pocket in jeans (with a holster), but I carry my wallet on my strong side, and I'm not used to having it on my weak side.
 
NAA mini-revolver

in .22mag. when I do carry it is a thrd gun, fits right in my back pocket. My actual bug is a G27, which gtoes very well with my G22 promary.
 
pocket gun

I own a 1908 colt .25 auto, it's dependable. A great vintage arm made in 1913, but would be more effective if there were a 50 rd mag for it. I don't carry anything for self-defense. Truthfully, if I were to carry a gun, I may be tempted to pull it and escelate into something awful. Wonder how many people carry sidearms that would be better off without them. Just my two cents, but respect others who do carry. Peace,

I agree that some people are better off without side arms and from the record of states with "Shall Issue" concealed carry license provisions it would appear that most of those people know who they are.

Right to Carry/Liscense to Carry does not mean must carry. Along with rights go responsibilities. It sounds to me that you are recognizing your own temperment and are exercising a responsibile choice to NOT carry in your own case. :what:

It's called, FREEDOM! :D
 
I carry a Beretta M21A .25 ACP in front strong side pocket in a holster. I have always liked the little Berettas but got the .25 acp for the worst possible reason - I got a good deal on it. Now I know why, the ammo for it costs MORE than 9mmP! :(
