What gun ?
« on: August 03, 2008, 04:32:51 PM »
What gun do you carry? Or, if you dont carry, what gun is your main for your Home Defense plan?

Im basically down to 3. A 9mm M-3953, a .45 SIG P-220, and a .38 snub S&W M-36. Loads are 9mm 110 grn +P+ JHP, .45 Speer 200 grn +P JHP, and for the .38 a 125 grn +P JHP. When I carry I always have 2 of the 3 on me.

being an avid outdoorsman, i have several guns.  Mostly hunting rifles and shotguns.  I don't carry a gun (on my body) every where i go but i usually keep an unloaded 12 gauge under the seat of my truck.  I do have a S&W .38 i keep in hidden by my bed for easy access. But if you want the guns i own i can list all my shotguns and rifles  :)

I've a nearly new Colt Detective Special and a Ruger LCP for that.

I've got a lot more but concealed carry is so much easier with the smaller ones.

I recently purchased a used (in very good condition) Walther PPK/S .380 auto as my primary carry pistol. Sure beats trying to lug around my old Taurus PT-99 9mm. That thing is just too big to conceal seeing as it's a full sized combat pistol. I have 95 grain Federal Hydro Shock's in the PPK. It'll put someone down if need be as long as they aren't wearing a vest and I don't see the hood rats around here wearing those too much. If I carry my 9mm I load it with 135 grain Federal Hydro Shocks. On very rare occasions I'll carry my Kimber 1911A1 with Hydro Shocks as well, but again that hog is tough to conceal also.

For my apartment I have my Remington 870 12 gage pump loaded with #4 Pheasant loads. Plenty of direct penetration but they wont carry any power through a wall so my neighbors don't get blasted.

I'm looking at a Titanium Smith & Wesson snub gun in .38 Special as well. Shot one at the range last week and really liked it even though I've never been a big revolver guy. Nice handgun, but only 5 rounds so that's a bit of a downside. It would make a nice backup gun though.

Springfield XD Compact and Kimber Pro Carry II both in .45 ACP. If I make it to the car there will be a Thompson making oh so sweet music.

S&W Model 60-9.  I have other firearms but prefer that one for the street.

Glock 19, the same one I carried both on and off duty before. I also have a S&W 66 round but with a 2 3/4" barrel that conceals very nicely.

The Colt Officers model that I carried off duty before the Glock is in the safe. It shoots well but is heavier than the Glock and I don't trust the recoil spring retention system on it.

I don't carry on a day-to-day basis, but around the house I have a Ruger P-345DP loaded with 230 gr. ball rounds.

Seems like everyone prefers not to be undergunned. There are several mentioned Ive always had an interest in, unfortunatly Im a slave to Dept. regulations as to what I can carry both on and off. It used to be they had a sense of humor about it but now its all a big deal.

I always wanted a Walther PPK just cause they are so cool. I think when I retire Im going to treat myself to one.
