What would you choose?

[dmxx9900]

If you had a choice of only these guns which would you choose as a ccw
1.Taurus 85
2.Bersa CC 380
3.Taurus TCP 380
4.Keltec PF9
5.Ruger LCP

 

[Stacer]

PF9, although I've got an 85, and carry it often, and had an LCP as my primary CCW for a few months.

 

[Deaf Smith]

Tough choice with only one 9mm in the bunch.

Now Ruger makes a small 9mm like the PF9. The LC9 I think.

AND I've shot the Bersa CC and it is one nice really concealable auto.

I also have the TCP in .380 (as well as P3AT and P32.) And I have a Taurus 85 to boot with DPX Cor-bon ammo in it!

I'd have to say of the five, whichever fits your hand and you shoot well with it (yes it's a cop out but that is the way I look at it.)

I chose the PF9 I just wondering what you all would of chose given a $300 and below budget and a choice of those pistols

 

[KennyFSU]

Great choice. I had similar options years back and went with a PF9. Carried for 2 years without a single issue. No fluff and buff, no polishing, no break-in period, nada. Worked perfect right out of the box. I now have a PM9 but still keep the PF9 in rotation.

 

[dmxx9900]

second choice would have been the bersa cc.
I really wanted more punch so I chose the 9mm over a 380.
The PF9 will be my backup of my G26.

 

[wlewisiii]

Of those? The Taurus. Put Buffalo Bore +P in it and you'll have the best of the bunch. The 9's not bad but if I'm carrying a 9, I'd rather it were my G19 for the additional shots.

 

[GRIZ22]

What I would choose only has value to me and should not influence what anyone else should choose. All those youy list are quality firearms and I would feel okay with any of them...or quite a few others.

I just wondering what you all would of chose given a $300 and below budget

In this two part question, if I had to buy new, I'd buy a Ruger P-95.

If I could buy used, I'd get a Smith and Wesson Model 13 (paid $225) a Model 10 HB ($135) Colt Detective Spl ($300), 100 yr old M&P ($110), KelTec P-11 ($200) or a LNIB Charter Arms .38 ($85). All of these guns I purchased for the price shown and would carry all of them ahead of the choices the OP listed. If I had to look at guns currently available, I'd look at the used Model 64's or 5906's

and a choice of those pistols

I don't trust .380's as a primary arm, so that leaves the PF9 and Taurus 85....whichever one proved itself, but I'd lean towards the .38

I carried a Taurus 85b3 for a while. Now that my CZ is in the shop I have started to carry it again. (I had to call my friend to get it back since I sold it to him.) It isn't the most mechanically refined gun in the world. However, it works well, shoots accurate, and with Federal LE 158gr+P LSWC-HPs I know it will drop a 130 pound dog in one shot.

I know dogs and humans are made quite different. However, it is confidence inspiring to know that the gun and bullet combination have proven to work.

 

[Bobson]

Of the items on your list, I would go with the Ruger LCP.

That decision is based on nothing more than the brand names you listed.

 

[JHenry]

id go with the pf9, because its 9mm and i love the way that little gun looks.

The square checkering pattern is very appealing to me for some reason

 

[dcarch]

Taurus 85. No doubt about it. That being said, none of the firearms on that list would be my first string pick.

 

[Trad Archer]

My experience with Bersa Firearms is they are very reliable.

 

[papa_bear]

Pf9

 

[neilin]

Bersa.

 

[Hondo 60]

I wouldn't feel comfortable carrying a 380
So I'd get the Keltec PF9

 

[purpplehaze]

Of the items on your list, I would go with the Ruger LCP.

That decision is based on nothing more than the brand names you listed.

IMHO I would take the LCP or an LC9.

 

[jp]

Lc9

 

[roadliner]

LCP I picked it because I did pick it as my small ccw pistol earlier this year. Nice little gun. I haven't shot the others on the list so I can't comment on their qualities.

 

[orionengnr]

LCP.

 

[Pukindog12]

PF9 then Bersa.

 

[SwampWolf]

The Ruger LCP-but only for use as a pocket ccw pistol.

 

[Itsjustme]

For under $300, PF9 no question.

 

[holdencm9]

LCP, which is what I have. Although a PF-9 or LC9 will be my next purchase so that I can "bridge the gap" between the LCP (which can go anywhere) and the Beretta 92FS (which I can only conceal in a few situations)
