what do you like to carry concealed? revolver auto? What caliber? Why?
just asking because my next purchase may be a CCW firearm and im thinking about a few options and just wanna know what you like
I carry a M&P .45 ACP from Smith and Wesson. It is the one gun that was slightly less costly than a 1911 Colt Combat Commander at the time. Both guns were good in my hand, racked easily etc etc...
But ultimately the .45 has nothing on it except a slide lock. Basically idiot proof if you please for me. I can do shotguns all day with thier safeties etc.
Just my gun that I chose as a first gun. I am aware that there is a bit of conflict with Glock in the past and other things. But 500 rounds of 230 grains and counting and no failures yet except I was new and didnt know better.
One word of warning, Get your grip down low. That slide will bite you on the recoil. Dont ask how I know.
I been in law enforcement for thirty years and have carried many pistols for off duty. I purchased a 380 Kel tec about 5 years ago and found with a pocket clip, extended magazine, and hydrashock or corbon ammo I am more likely to carry it all the time. The weapon you are most likely to carry all the time is the best choice.
Today? I'm carrying my Kahr P45 in a UBG IWB holster, in a pair of shorts, no belt. I'd rather be carrying my Kimber Ultra CDP, but the Kahr weighs 18 oz vice the Kimber's 24 oz. (Note: with a belt, I can do the Kimber)
During the heat of summer? I'll probably revert to my Kahr PM9. Fourteen ounces and 6+1 of 9mm +p+ is hard to beat.
When winter returns? I love my N-frames, when I can conceal them. Require a real belt, and a cover garment (sweatshirt/jacket).
Bottom line...there is no one answer. Lots of variables, lots of choices. Of course, you could carry an LCP/P3AT year round (some do). If you live in Miami I guess that might be the answer.
Most of us live where the weather changes, and carry accordingly.
I carry a Glock 22 strong side IWB and an SP101 BUG on my left ankle. I like the 16 rounds of .40sw from the Glock combined with its unsurpassed reliability. 5 extra rounds of .357 mag from the BUG in case something happened to the Glock.
i carry my Ruger SP101 2 1/4 in barrel, 3 o'clock IWB. I like the certainty of a revolver going bang as well as the way the grips fit in my hand. As far as ammo i load it with what ever i can get my hands on....
I carry a Taurus 605ss most of the time. Winter when wearing a coat, I'll carry a Smith & Wesson 65 with the Taurus as a back up. Revolvers work for me.
Right now I carry either a 2 1/2" k frame 357 in the appendix position with a cheap Uncle Mikes IWB hoster, or a 442 pocket carry with the DeSantis Nemesis. Sometimes I carry both with the pocket holster in the weak hand position.
I like the simple reliabilty of revolvers. I also carry a speed strip for a reload. I know speed strips are slower than speed loaders, but they sure pocket carry better. I do practice reloading with the strips too.
you guys that are carrying the s&w 1006 all I can say is WOW. Great gun, but I carry it as a duty weapon in a safarialnd holster on my duty belt, and its heavy carried that way!
I applaud you, thats dedication.
For me its a Ruger LCP for light clothing, and a Glock 29 for everything else
Currently it's a dead reliable xd40sc but as time goes by I've been seriously considering a high quality pocket sized 9mm because I'm more likely to carry it all the time.
I've carried a Walther PPK/S in .380 for a long time now. It's 100% reliable, I can tear it down and put it back together in the dark, and it's as accurate in my hand as anything I ever take to the range, just because I've worked with it for so long. I wouldn't think of leaving home without it.
