This 100%For concealed carry I won't carry a handgun that has a manual safety.
Carry what you shoot the fastest, most accurately and the best. Carry this handgun like your life - or the lives of your family - depended on it. Because they might. If it does its job, you're not going to sweat losing it, even permanently. Isn't that why we carry handguns?. But one hesitation is that it's such a nice, and pricy gun. I am not so sure I want to use it in a defensive situation and then lose it to the system. Sometimes, people don't get their guns back. I don't want to lose it. Rather lose a cheaper, plastic gun
Well, that seems to be a vaild reason to not carry a specific handgun. I would say that's why I never warmed to the HK P7, myself.I won't carry anything where I have to squeeze the grip for it to function. I have found that my hands are an usual enough size that having to squeeze the grip significantly changes my grip and trigger pull on the firearm. Essentially it adds an element of fumbling around with the firearm that is just unnecessary for me with today's wide selection of available models.
Wait, you'll carry a Taurus but not a Glock?I won't carry anything Glock makes because I personally think that, other than being reliable, they are bottom tier budget built pistols compared to the competition. Not interested in carrying any Sig other than the P239, and especially not the P320 and P365 because I believe they're overpriced for what they are, and I don't trust any Sig striker fired pistols. I'm not interested in any Ruger semiautos because they feel cheap, unrefined, and the one and only one I purchased broke right away.
I prefer revolvers, DA/SA pistols, and metal frame pistols.. I'm not obsessed with capacity either. I typically EDC a S&W 686+, Kahr K40 or MK9, or if I need something small and light for pocket carry, it's a Hellcat.
A Taurus revolver? Yes. A Taurus semiauto? No, and I'll pass. If I was on a budget, their are a plethora of better semiautos in the $300-$400 +/- Taurus price range.Wait, you'll carry a Taurus but not a Glock?
I've never had any experience with a Taurus revolver.A Taurus revolver? Yes. A semiauto, no.
I hear a lot of good about the Taurus G3 & GX4 pistols. Have you ever tried one?A Taurus revolver? Yes. A Taurus semiauto? No, and I'll pass. If I was on a budget, their are a plethora of better semiautos in the $300-$400 +/- Taurus price range.
I've owned a PT111 G2 which is basically like a G3. No, I haven't tried a GX4. I'm not bashing them, and I've also heard good things about them. They are great options for people who simply can't afford anything else.I hear a lot of good about the Taurus G3 & GX4 pistols. Have you ever tried one?
What's the maximum weight you'll carry when it comes to handguns?I prefer 9mm but 380 acp is my minimum carry caliber.
I wont carry any of my 2 1911's. One is broken, the other is not reliable in my hands.
I wont carry an unreliable gun or a gun I cant hit with. I prefer to not carry an overly heavy handgun.
I own lots of handguns but only carry (in public) 2 of them - My Ruger LC9s Pro and Glock 43X.
Occasionally, I will carry a different handgun but only if I've shot it recently.
