I live in Vegas and carry a G26 12+1 90% of the time.
My IWB Crossbreed SuperTuck is my preferred carry method.
Colt Combat Commander. In a pinch it will double as a bludgeoning instrument.
I hesitate at the moment to apply for CCW...don’t want my ID on ‘their’ list. But if I had anything and were to carry, it would be a Springfield XD-45 w/4” barrel...with 13 + 1. It is not big, nor is it heavy, and it is accurate :) ... easy to keep on target ... does not ‘lift’.
Now my question...should I or should I not get a concealed carry permit?
You’re getting a lot of “what” and little “why”.
My “what”: You don’t have a need to know and if all goes well you’ll never find out.
My “why”: Given my age and condition, I couldn’t prevail in any kind of fight but a gun fight.
C’mon, I bet you can guess.
I carry a concealed 9mm Taurus in Florida for self-defense of me, my family, and for protection of the general public in case of witnessing a felony in progress. I believe violence in our day will continue to progressively increase, and society at large needs to be prepared to protect one another. Law Enforcement will not be staffed enough to efficiently deal with the increased violence that is coming to America. American citizens need to step up and take back our country from the thugs. They need to know we mean business and will not stand for it.

Kimber pro-carry II, .45acp, with an extra magazine.
Why? If something happens, and if i can pull my piece, and if I can hit them in the first 3 shots (95% of shootings happen in 3 or less shots), then I want the most powerful punch possible.
There’s nothing wrong with a .40, or a 9mm, or even a .38, but personally, I’m a good shot, and I am just as accurate with a 1911 as any other piece, so why not do as much damage as possible?
I would advise to carry something that is comfortable. You should know that you have it and be ablr to get it out fast. However, if you get a hand gun that is not comfortable to carry, you WILL NOT carry and you never know when you will need the gun!
1911-A1 Government model in .45 ACP. Its the gun that God carries.
.40 cal, because it aggravates freedom haters to no end.
I can’t get a CCW here in California so I don’t get to legally carry, but if I did, I would want either a Ruger LC9 or a Taurus Millenium PT145. Or both.
Sucks to live in a “may issue” California. Just another reason to retire out of state. Perhaps the BEST reason.
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.
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.
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.
