You’re limited to 8 rounds, what’s your choice?

[mavracer]

Guess my carry rotation would get slimmed down to just my LCR 38 and PPS 40 might put the retired Colt Officers ACP back in the mix. Home defense would fall to 1911 45 or 10mm and revolvers.

 

[Hasaf]

I have been thinking of a Charter Arms Professional, which is a 7-round 32 revolver. Other than that, I have my Browning 1911-380 which would remain a top choice. Other than that, I sometimes consider the Springfield Armory EMP.

That said, How one would respond depends on many factors. I would expect grandfathering of existing firearms. No matter, right now, with no actual legislative proposals, it is just speculation.

I would keep carrying my compact 9mm with 8 rounds or my sw airweight with 5.

 

[rubberduck]

glock 23 40 s@W

 

[sparkyfender]

Glock 36 or 1911.

Just remembered I also have a Sig 239 in .40 S&W, 7 + 1, is a great pistol and it would definitely be a contender.

 

[Varminterror]

I’ve spent MOST of my “carry life” over the last 18yrs carrying pistols which had 8 rounds or less of capacity, so to me, the proposition that this reflects some kind of innate change is a false premise. All of the compelling reasons slimline autoloaders have always been the best options for carry remain compelling whether round count is artificially limited to 8 or not.

“There can be only one” 1911 in 45 ACP. Even the dems can’t outlaw it as it is older than Joe or Nancy

 

[wesmonster]

Guns that I own or have owned that I'd recommend in that cap range are 1911 (.45 or 10mm, and a compact 1911 in 9mm is 8 rounds), sig p220, Star BM, Zastava M88A. I do love revolvers but below .44 mag there's some autoloading calibers just as effective. Also S&W Shields in 9mm & .45. And EZ380.

If I was limited to less than 10 rounds I'd focus on .45, 10mm, .40s&w or .357 sig and skip 9mm. It's a very versatile round and cheap for range plinking.

 

[Ks5shooter]

Still a 10mm Glock.

This in a 48/43x would be nice. Slim and powerful.

Interesting choices. I haven’t been aware of the astra that was named.

I guess my thinking is that I don’t particularly like high cap 9mm guns or the spray and pray mentality they have spawned. So with the 9mm being neutered by round count limitation.... is it still queen for all those that like it. And if it’s only merit is high capacity.... what then is the choice?

And in this theoretical world ya do get all the spare mags and backup guns ya want. If I’m not mistaken, NY state did just this a while back, minus confiscation, limiting mags to legal use with only 7 rounds. So it’s certainly not that far fetched of an idea.

Nice! What kind of knife is that?

For a similar size and weight gun? Shootability. Less recoil. Quicker double taps.

My .32 mag revolver is easier to shoot and less painful than my same weight .38 special revolver launching +P loads. Both being low capacity guns.

Look at the muzzle rise on the single stack G36.

The reason I don't like high capacity guns is because of double stack mags. They're too fat and they're usually plastic.

 

[C-grunt]

I'm sticking with 9mm in a semi and 357 mag in a revolver.

 

[chicharrones]

That's what draws me to the CZ75 series. With thin grips, they are as slim as many metal framed single stack guns.

I forgot who made it, it is a custom I bought at a gun show years ago when my hair was dark and I could see my toes! Here is a different angle, third knife on the right.

 

[Nasty Canasta]

I suppose 7+1 of 50AE would be one option, more likely a 1911 that I'm used to carrying. The Eagle is actually not horrible but not exactly "summer carry" unless you're Andre the Giant size

I could get with this, stack and a half 10+1 10mm with just a slightly thicker gun or 7+1 single stack. Especially if Glock finally gets their short recoil, locked breech,rotating barrel design fielded here in the states. Even better if they start looking at a gas system similar to the S&W 5.7 with their "Tempo" system, that looks like it would be nice to tame a 10mm in a small package like the G48.

 

[Meeks36]

Auto 10mm, revolver 41 mag

 

[Retired MSG]

I'm with @chicharrones and @sparkyfender , continue to carry my G36 with the plus one mag extension

 

[JeeperCreeper]

Desert Eagle 50AE

 

[Bazoo]

Interesting replies. Thanks all for sharing. God hope we don’t have to ever give up the options we have.

 

[Seedy Character]

Same as everyday

1911 .45 ACP
S&W M-28 .357 mag
Ruger Blackhawk .41 mag

 

[Space Ghost]

Two guns...
