Your CCW piece...

[cold dead hands]

Anybody here own more than one of the gun they carry concealed so they can shoot one or more for practice while occasional function testing/ammo rotating the "unused" carry gun?

I know a guy who rotates 3 Glocks and ammo for carry, but he has no dedicated carry gun.

thanks for your input

I Don't 'rotate' but while I shoot my CCW 1911 I try to put the heavy wear on other 1911's.

Same with my Glock 19 although that is not a CCW other than for that one month of familirization.

Since all the Glocks have the same manual of arms it shouldn't be a problem , switching between the types could be a big problem (like going from a 1911 to revolver ) But the caveat is the shooters familiarity with his weapons .

I have a number of pistols I use for CCW, but are duplicates. I always keep one on me when I shoot the others since I shoot out in the wild.

I do own multiples of some of the guns I carry. I have 2 Glock 27's, 3 Sigmas,
several 1911's in various barrel lengths etc. I predominantly carry either a G27 or a 1911 as a primary with a P3AT or AMT .380 backup in my pocket or on my ankle as a BUG. As long as you shoot regularly with what you carry you shouldn't have problems. I don't worry much about wearing out a gun with practice. If I do I will just replace it or the parts that are bad. Many pistols need springs replaced periodically anyway. Just routine maintenance.

I have several guns I can carry, and at one point or another have carried them all for some period of time, but my primary carry gun is the one I shoot the most--it's the one i need to be most familiar with.

I like to know exactly how it behaves, and exactly where it puts the bullets.

 

[Dorryn]

I carry my S&W 637 to work, and I carry my Glock 27 when im not working.

 

[HuntAndFish]

Yeah, two glock 19's and two S&W 642's.

yes. I have a backup duplicate. If nothing else, for parts.

In The Past

I have rotated "carry pieces"; but nowdays its usually some type of 1911
in .45 ACP~!

A West German SIG-SAUER .45 caliber P220A (duty weapon) lay retired
in my safe; and now only sees occassional duty, or a trip too the range.

Two, soon to become three

My primary is a Kahr P40. If I wear a suit jacket I carry my Kimber Tac II (4inch). I might add a third in the coming months as I'd like to pocket-carry sometimes and I'm not able to do that at present.

 

[Big Calhoun]

Out of five, I rotate between two. HK P2000 in fall/winter, 1911 in spring/summer. Steel can make for a good morning wakeup in the winters...

 

[30 cal slob]

i rotate depending on the need.

for workplace ccw (deep concealment) i carry my Glock 26.

for when i can wear a vest or similar concealment garb - a clunky 1911 with 2 spare mags.

does the G26 shoot as accurately as the 1911? no.

is it better than having nothing? yes.

 

[romma]

I carry a kel-tec p-32, a Kahr PM-9, and a Walther PPK/S... I am comfortable and confident with all three...

 

[steveracer]

I have two ef every carry gun

I recommend finding a gun you like, and that is in the most powerful cartridge you can comfortably shoot. Then get two of them. (And ten magazines if it's an auto, or ten speed loaders if it's a revolver, and two good holsters and a way to carry ammo) In the end, If a gun costs about $500, I budget $1500 for it, so I can get all the support for it I will need, and then relax.

The rest is gravy.

 

[tinygnat219]

The gun doesn't rotate, the magazines do.

 

[waterhouse]

Yep. Only difference is that the carry version has night sights and more holster wear.

[CavalryJim]

Pharmer,

Can you post a picture of the Davis .22 mag next to one of the other pistols? I am interested in getting something similar and was wondering about the size.

Thanks,
Jim

 

[mavracer]

I have several different carry guns but really only two trigger modes da revolver friendly ie 442 and seecamp or 1911 friendly ie 1911 and BHP

 

[coelacanth]

yup. . . . .

2 Model 13 Smith & Wesson

[Dravur]

HK P7, Clock 19, Kel-tec P3AT or S&W mod 36

Kind of get rotated through.

P7 when i can wear the full belt with the IWB waistband and the mag pouch.
Wear it under a shirt, no prob.

If Im going to be doing bending and or working where the shirt rises, then the Glock 19 in the shoulder rig.

Shorts and a T? then its the P3AT.

If im walking my dog and want somethng fast then the 36 in a quick detach belt holster

My rotation

 

[nitesite]

Nah, I don't have twins of anything. Every one of the four different handguns I carry at one time or another is my only version of that particular design.

1911, XD-45, Glock 29 or S&W 442.

Don't believe I'll ever wear one out. But if I do it seems a simple matter of getting it repaired or just replace it.
