What firearms/weapons do you take with you for a weekend trip?

[dgvc63]

I have a core that I usually base my mobile "Weekend" arsenal on...

.45 auto
.357 revolver & levergun
.22 auto rifle

What do you usually "Happen to have with you?"

 

[ByAnyMeans]

It's gonna be my Glock 9mm and KT P3AT with a spare magazine for each. Should cover all carry situations I could encounter and get me through whatever the situation is.

 

[Cmiller21b]

M-9 Beretta, M-59 S&W and 590 Mossberg with extra mags for each.

 

[highorder]

My M&P9 goes wherever I go.

 

[ball3006]

A couple pistols and lately, my M1D. Otherwise, my AK or a shotgun.....chris3

 

[Unistat]

I always have my G23 on me and a Kel-Tec SU-16B with the Get Home Bag, but on a long trip I go with my S&W 13-3 .357 Mag. I drop it in the door pocket next to me since the Glock is hard to draw while sitting.

 

[Greybeard]

Depends on what the weekend trip is for. If going to hunting lease with long guns, I often do not take BUG. Just one less to keep up with. If traveling with family, I usually throw in XD-9M to suppliment an "always" 5-holer. That Springer bought a couple of years ago in honor of our new president, for it's 20-round capacity.

 

[Ryanxia]

Assuming a non-hunting trip and taking someone else's vehicle:
Rossi .357 Magnum snubbie
RIA .45
and as of last weekend: S&W .44 Magnum 29 Classic

I WOULD take my Beretta CX4 Storm 9mm but kind of hard to conceal that one

 

[Geckgo]

usually just the XD and a 22 unless hunting deer is on the roster

 

[Russ Jackson]

1911 and a Walther G22...Russ

 

[revjen45]

Steyr S9 primary. 2ndary: .38 revolver

 

[gunnutery]

Same gun as I take with me the rest of the week, SP101.

 

[Ignition Override]

This stays home for shorter drives (state parks etc), but for a 6-7 hour drive to visit family, the SKS, concealed under a camouflage net and other stuff in the trunk.

My folks aren't interested in shooting, and it stays concealed in the trunk when there.
It seems better to have something on a long drive, even through small towns, just in case a natural disaster or Al Qaida-inspired event happens, no matter how small the chance.

The only ammo is on stripper clips, kept separate. I don't have any handguns.

 

[doc2rn]

For the long haul I stick with the basics.
Colt Diamondback .38
Colt Python .357
Marlin 1894 C .357

 

[pikid89]

not to say you shouldnt bring any of the above mentioned guns on weekend roadtrip type trips but it seems packing long arms on a non hunting trip is a bit overdoing it. If im on a long trip i bring the same gun that i usually carry...smith 642...maybe a g19 for the center console,

...but an sks under a camo net in the trunk in case of terrorist activity??? our world can be bad but this isnt the opening chapter of patriot games

 

[Dr.Rob]

Depends on where I'm going.

Usually a centerfire handgun of some sort.

 

[lokpyrite]

A G21w/ 3 mags and atleast a spare box of 50rnds, a PF9w/ 2 mags and a spare boxof ammo, and depending on how far out I'm going a Mossberg 500 with 20 rounds onboard and maybe a box or 2 in the trunk.

 

[bikerdoc]

CZ 75 compact for me 38 3 inch for wife

 

[Skyshot]

A CZ97B rides with me every day with a couple of mags of Hornady 230 HP's in +p.

 

[BlackSky]

 

[JohnBiltz]

My carry G26 and a long gun in the trunk. If I'm staying in motel it will be a Sub 2000 so I can carry it in with my bags without being obvious. Otherwise a shotgun or AR, mostly the AR.

 

[Win1892]

Full size 1911 and a J-frame

 

[Erik M]

If you mean vacation in a populated area I carry my Glcok 19 with a spare mag.

If you mean 'inna-woods' for some camping & hunting then It would be one of my .357 Ruger's (Vaquero or GP100) and Winchester Mod 94 30-30. I usually keep my cheap-o Heritage .22 revolver and a brick of 500 rounds as a pack gun just as a backup/plinker.

 

[TexasBill]

Depends on the trip and what I feel like. About the only constant is a Smith & Wesson J-frame.

 

[mikerault]

Usually at least my XD9mmCD and a .38 SP bodyguard. May also have the .22LR rifle and Hi-Point 9mm carbine and maybe a 8mm rifle or 12 guage in a ready bag in the trunk...
