Six Handguns: Pick one for CCW, Part Deux...

[krept]

wow, great tough choices.

I chose P7M8.

 

[45cal Suppository]

SA Pro for me.

Certainly the most reliable, probably the easiest to shoot well. Maybe not the most concealable but I personally wouldn't put that as the number one criteria on a CCW gun.

 

[Gunhead]

P7 for primary (of course) and the 442 as backup...

 

[sm]

PC 13, primary
442 , BUG

Manual of arms thing for me. I prefer same MOA or "simpler step down" for a BUG.
I admit I have little or no experience with some choices. I am a 1911 fan, they run for me. Hand me your relibale Glock and weird stuff happens, sights fall off, trigger systems breaks...dunno.

IF I had to reach into a safe in the morning and head out I would trust my choices.

I did vote for 3" K frame last time also.

 

[JOE MACK]

I'd take the SA Pro with the G30 as a backup. I'd rather have my G36 for the flatter profile. The G30 feels like a 2x4 in my hand. I generally carry a SS Colt Combat Commander in any of the surrounding states I have a CCW in.

 

[boing]

Concealment: The 442 will go many places the others can't. The P7 might go some places better than the snubbie, but not by much.

442 (and I like autos).

 

[bedlamite]

from those choices, Glock 30. However, I'd have to switch the barrel, slide and magazines for the 10mm versions normally found in a Glock 29

 

[rick458]

Definitly the SA Profesional,because it will ride just like the Kimber
Classic I do carry, or the Colt Govt I used to.
442 for a BUG.

 

[incursion]

P7
I've carried the 228 and the P7. I would choose the P7 because it's a lot more comfortable to carry. The Glock 30 is also too thick in my opinion, but I'm a small guy (5'8", 130 lbs.).

 

[ruger357]

442.

 

[Ala Dan]

West German SIG-Sauer P228; of course!

[Braz]

Glock 30 for CCW,

But, er... can I borrow the .357 for winter coat country?

 

[Bruce H]

Springfield Pro. Familiarity is the key.

 

[glockgazda]

SPRINGFIELD PROFESSIONAL,
so I can sell it to buy G-30 and 442 and have some cash left. Those who choose anything else but G-30 probably haven't shot one. A gun that you may potentially have to lose, nothing else comes close.

If I can't buy/sell/trade, it would have to be 442, because it will go many places others can't.

 

[Beorn]

Glock 30, far and away in my opinion.

 

[Hot brass]

Springfield hands down,MS VMII IWB.

 

[sig970]

Sig P228

 

[garrettwc]

What a torturous choice Tamara has given us.

I gave the edge to the Springfield Pro, but only because I have been carrying 1911s or BHPs for the last two years and they are familiar.

Take away that factor and it would be a 3-way tie between the Springfield, P228, and P7.

 

[Poohgyrr]

Hey you guys are cheating

If we get to choose a second, then I'd probably go for the J frame because it's so dog gone easy to conceal almost anywhere. And I might also go back to the PC K frame as primary.......

Decisions, decisions.....

 

[Yo]

nice choices

I voted for the HK p7, but I sure like the looks of the PC-13.

I actually posted yesterday that a 3" revolver would be just about the ideal carry gun, but I suggested an 8-shot N-frame with moon clips.

I would say these are all smart choices, although I would take a 638 Bodyguard over the 442.

 

[surfinUSA]

I'd take the SIG 228. I've always heard good things about them and the ones I've shot have been fine. If they are as accurate and reliable as my 220 and 239 thats the way I'd go.

Second choice, the PC-13, thats got to be one of the best fighting revolvers out there. Unfortunately, out of the range I'm willing to pay for a handgun. Now when a nice, used 3 inch, round butt, M13 shows up that will be a different story.

 

[rage]

G30 with Galco USA/fobus/sidearmour.

 

[OEF_VET]

Gotta say I'd go with the PC-13.

 

[Berg01]

I own a P228, wouldn't trade it for anything, but my CCW would be a S&W 442, in a pocket holster, hands down.

 

[cool45auto]

I choose Sig 228.
