My primary carry piece is a Sig P239 DAK SAS in 9mm. It's about the largest weapon I can carry concealed in warm weather. The mag holds 8 w/1 in the pipe.
You?
Sorry, I meant I would own a Taurus PT745, the single stack version of the PT145. I think it has 6 round capacity. So I would go either Ruger LC9 or Taurus PT745. And likely will once I leave this idiotic state.
I thought it was just me buying them 20 at a time...
Back on topic; I carry a Glock model 30, because when seconds count, the police are only minutes away. And I don't believe you are a caring, responsible adult if you refuse to take measures to protect your loved ones, yourself or others in the community.
I see in the paper/magazine “Military” that the Govt is looking for WWII CAP’ers to award them the ‘Congressional Gold Medal’ for their service.
They say there is only a few hundred out of about 60,000 members.
I have a contact name and email if anyone interested - they also want to contact family members of the vols...
I was a volunteer in the mid 50’s in Dutchess County NY, on the flight path around Stewart AFB (Newburgh NY)- neglected to mention it in Navy Boot Camp in 1956 and it ‘cost’ me SN coming out of boot camp....oh well....
My carry is Ruger/LCR 38 spec, like the one poster said, the punks will normally cut and run if threatened....
This is what I carry.
Good old fashion Smith Airweight.
1. Goes bang every time I pull the trigger, even in a pocket. 2. Light enough that I don't walk loopsided. 3. +P ammo does a very good job. 4. Accurate at knife distance where most shootings occur.
If I really need high capacity, face multiple adversaries or the ability to touch someone over 100 feet.
Forget a pistol, I'll bring my M1A
Ed Brown Custom Cobra Carry 1911.
Why? Why not! Great gun, experienced and well trained with it, conceals easily.
or my Glock 19.
I also own a SA Ultra Compact .45, asked the MFG about using +P’s, they advised against it.
Of course, if it comes to that, I might need a new parka.
The Mrs saw it, and she had to get one, too...
Ditto on the Colt commander. Brushed stainless. Pretty but deadly.
SIG is an excellent choice. The main thing to remember - especially for the smaller folks - is that the lighter item you have with you is always better than the big one you left at home.
It doesn’t always have to be the 1911 or the S&W 29.
Guns, plural.
The Taurus P745 Millenium Pro .45 ACP is also my primary carry gun. Shoots well, carries great and has the stopping power. Key for me was that it has one of those old fashioned less than PERFECTION things called a POSITIVE SAFETY.
Glock 36 45acp in an inexpensive Ace Case in pants holster(these holsters ride extremely low which I prefer) and an extra mag in my pocket.
Colt Combat Commander.
Same. I actually shoot it more consistently than either either 1911A1 I have. Better in the hand, I guess. I tried an Officers Model for awhile. Too small in the hand.
Sweet. I shall have to look into that one as a candidate for my bicycle pack. Florida bike paths can have some nasty critters which one can come upon. Some with legs. Some without.
My first Commander was a brushed stainless. My preference was parkerized so, I switched it out some years ago. I love the Commander. My 1911A1’s feel so neglected.
