Re: What do you carry?
I started the voting off my self. I carry a 1911A year round. Summer time usually finds me in shorts, T shirt, and sandals. Not a problem.

Re: What do you carry?
I wanted to include the .40, but the forum will only allow 4 choices.

Re: What do you carry?
Kel-tec P3AT is most frequent. Taurus 85 (.38 Special) otherwise.

Re: What do you carry?
45acp Colt 1911 because you didn't list 357sig as a choice. My primary carry used to be a stainless H&K USP Compact in 45acp but I needed to eat so it went bye-bye.
 These days, (depending on my mood) I pick between the Colt & a P229 Sig. SR

Re: What do you carry?
You don't have .22 as an option.
Granted, I usually just carry a knife and flail/garrote in public, but when I am on my own property I am never without my 22 derringer... Even when I am otherwise armed.

Re: What do you carry?

Re: What do you carry?
Sorry but what's a BUG? I carry a Taurus 38spl or a Colt Combat Commander in 45acp sometimes both.

Re: What do you carry?
I wanted to list about 7 different calibers, but the forum limits me to only 4 choices. Sorry if your favorite caliber isn't listed.

Re: What do you carry?
At this moment nothing. Just sold my Ruger LCP of a local police officer (gun, holsters and ammo). It just didn't have correct ergonomics for my long fingers. I am an old fart and sort of favor the revolvers anyway so will probably wind up with a Ruger LCR .38spl. Have a S&W 649 that I like but have to constantly hike my britches because of it's weight. Old men seem to loose their butt.

Re: What do you carry?
Well you should have listed the .40 S&W in the choices especially since it`s fast becoming the most common caliber used. Really, I can`t hardly catch the ammo at wally world or either of the two local gun stores because as soon as it hits the shelves...Poof!
I carry a Smith and wesson .357 Mag revolver or my Glock .40 S&W. Mostly the Glock simply due to comfort and the ability to conceal. |

Re: What do you carry?
Glock 19/crimson trace lg-617 laser grips along with 2 mags of 100grain power ball. The glock is my favorite carry cause my Kimber tactical entry is a bit on the large side for my personal comfort.
Wife carries a Kahr CW9 with the crimson trace lg-437 laserguard on it. Trying to talk her into to the springfield emp in .40 but she likes her "little purse gun". both are 9mm |
