What caliber is your primary CCW?

[Alan Fud]

I carry a 1911 most of the time ... either my Para-Ordnance C7.45LDA or my C6.45LDA when deeper concealment is needed ...

... in both cases, that makes my caliber a .45ACP. What about everybody else? What caliber is your primary CCW?

[Hkmp5sd]

9mm 1st Generation Glock 17

 

[PATH]

The itty bitty mod 36 J-frame. It's alright to be itty bitty!

 

[coltjeeper]

I voted .45ACP because I currently have a choice between two Colt 1911s. But I also have two Glock 19s that I occasionally wear.

 

[Schuey2002]

9mm is my primary CCW "cartridge", out of dual G19's..

 

[TheFrontRange]

.45ACP in my Kimber Custom.

 

[dude]

I don't CCW unless out in the woods or road tripping
Taurus Ti sunb .357 for everyday short day hikes, cross contry sking or fishing with friends locally

or a 4"-6" Dan Wesson for the more remote solo trips, ocassionally a DW .44Mag for the really isolated trips (often!)

 

[Ikari]

XD-40 with Hogue HandAll (I don't have a CCW permit yet, though ). It's my only handgun so far.

Hard to define "primary".

I prefer to carry my 1911 whenever possible, but I always have my KelTec P11. And even with my .45 on my belt, the KT is usually in a more convenient pocket, making it more likely to be deployed first in a surprise situation.

So that makes my "primary" caliber...I dunno.

I picked .45, because in a perfect (sheeple-less) world, concealment wouldn't matter.

glocks, 17 or 26.......tom

 

[jmbg29]

G29

 

[voilsb]

I voted for both the 9mm and the .45ACP

I currently only have a 9mm as a CCW option, but as soon as I can afford it I'm getting a compact model 1911

 

[Marko Kloos]

My primary CCW guns are either .357s loaded with .38+P, or 9mm Luger.

 

[popbang]

45 Colt

 

[MikeJ]

My primary carry gun is a S&W 640 Centennial.

 

[Kahr carrier]

45ACP _Ultra Carry.

 

[Lennyjoe]

G19 in warm weather

Taurus PT100 AFS .40 in winter.

Since I spent the last two years in Tucson before coming here guess which one got carried the most.

 

[KP95DAO]

I carry my KP95DAO most of the time. However, the load I use pushes a 125 gr JHP out at 1350 fps. So It's really something more than an ordinary 9mm.

 

[stans]

During cool weather, I usually carry a 9mm (Smith 439), but in hot weather, a 357 Magnum (Smith 640) in a IWB holster. The 640 is smaller and conceals better when wearing less clothing.

 

[gypsy3]

Para C7.45 Companion, most of the time. Second choice and carried occasionaly glock 27 .40 Cal.

 

[triggertime]

.45 Auto

 

[cratz2]

45ACP, 9mm Mak, 32 ACP

 

[Onslaught]

If, by Primary, you mean the "main gun" in your CCW arsenal, the one you carry when you're "carrying", then I voted .40.

If, on the other hand, primary means the one you carry most often, even when you're just running to the grocery store, etc... then oops... That'd be a .38.

I'll always consider my 642 a BUG, even though it gets carried by itself quite often. But when I take the time to put on the gun belt, strap on the holster, consider the day's attire to fascilitate concealment, etc... Then there's a .40 on the hip, and a .38 in the pocket.

 

[10-Ring]

I am currently in my 9mm phase...I flip flop throughout the year, 9mm, 45 acp & 38 special.

 

[V-fib]

Ruger Sp101 .357!
