What kind of handgun do you carry most (the poll)

[cookekdjr]

Okay, I never could get the poll for this up and running. Now I can. So, please vote and let us know what kind of handgun you carry more than any other.
Thanks,

David

P.S. I voted first; I carry a .32 Mag S&W revovler most. The poll will be open for 60 days. Act now while supplies last.

Due to it's size & weight and to weather & clothing options (shorts & t-shirt), I find myself carrying my Kel-Tec P-32 more than any of my other handguns.

 

[DoubleTapDrew]

9mm is considered large caliber?
I guess I usually carry a small large caliber semi-auto.

 

[chieftain]

95% of the time I now carry a 5" Government model 1911. Either Colt Gun Site Pistol or series 80 Government or Kimber Warrior or CDP. Again all 5".

I am now setting up a FN Highpower. It is even more narrow than the 1911.

I no longer carry my favorite, SIG 228. Arthritis does not allow me, an old revolver guy the ability to hit in double action. It is not a strength thing, but a distance thing.

I don't care about caliber. If I choose good ammo, and do my job in the delivery dept, Any of the calibers I choose will or will not do their job. Ain't no guarantee's in a firefight, particularly when using a handgun.

MY BUG is one of my two 642's or my 638. (all airweights in 38spl. The 638 is not rated for +P.

All the pistols normally ride in a Milt Sparks VM II for CCW. For competition most often a Comp-Tac or a Wilson Combat and rarely a non locked Black hawk.

[High Planes Drifter]

Usually a 5" 1911. Sometimes I carry a Makarov.

 

[Titan6]

Did not see the one I carry the most so I went with the one I carry the next most often. (CONUS anyway)

 

[elrod]

Usually carry a M60 primed with 125g .357's. Easy to conceal in pocket or OWB. On weekends usually have BHP or M686.

 

[elkhuntingfool]

I carry a 45acp 100% of the time when I am able to carry. I work for the Federal Government and we are not allowed to have weapons on the property or even in the car. Bummer!

But, my 45acp is a Taurus PT145 - easy to conceal. Oh and I shoot 230g FMJ

 

[azhunter12]

I didn't vote because I don't carry. BTW the close date of the poll is my birthday.

I just thought thats a funny coincidence (spelling?).

 

[BADUNAME13]

Please change the poll so that you can vote for more than one option.

Thanks

 

[Jayb]

I've carried a 1911 for many years. Current carry is a Kimber Pro CDP

 

[slow944]

I carry either a Taurus PT140 or PT145. Both are 10+1 and hard hitting.

 

[MrTwigg]

I carry a Glock 22. (For the newbies that's not a .22 !)

However, MrsTwigg prefers a S&W1911PD (Commander size.)

I was nice enough to break it in for her and will be soon switching to a full size S&W1911PD of my own.

Why ? I shoot the 1911 better than my Glock and the ballistics of the .45 ACP beat the .40 S&W.
(Short & Weak ? )

Don't see the point of the caliber choices unless you're undeceided on a caliber and while any gun is better than no gun, a self defense caliber needs to start with a "4".

 

[Im283]

Ruger SP 101,
.357 158 gr Hydra Shocks at day,
Corbon .38 Specials at night.

A guy could go blind from fireballs out of the .357

 

[Common Tater]

Kahr P45.

 

[mavracer]

442

 

[GroovedG19]

Glock model 17 9x19mm.

 

[obxned]

It's summer, so it must be P3AT time!

 

[PracticeFreedom]

HK P7 and Smith 642---can't pick 2 so I didn't vote.

 

[Eightball]

Since it's what I have, my .357 Smith 620.

 

[Zor Omega]

carry the makarov, but once I get more proficient with it, I will be carrying the XD9 SC

 

[yongxingfreesty]

glock 36

 

[glockman19]

Lately I have been carrying the S&W 642 & 442 more than the Glock 26. Thursday I'll be carrying a Kimber 1911 Ultra

 

[denfoote]

Glock 36 mostly, but my mouse gun is a Kahr MK9.

Favorite Carry

I just switched up to a Kahr P45, was carrying a Taurus PT745 but the Kahr is about 2-3 ounces lighter. Sometimes I will carry my Kimber Ultra Carry .40 or Springfield XD40 Sub-compact, and rarely a Keltec P11. I also have a Taurus PT1911 but it is too heavy and large for summer carry.
The Kahr has become my favorite because of it's light weight, reliability, and the fact that it is in .45. I use a Bianchi Paddlelok with auto retention
