Ruger 44 magnum revolver with 6 inch fluted barrel or my Colt Combat Commander .45 auto

Why- knock down power in one shot

Thought about it a few years ago, but never saw the need.   Not to mention, my friends getting harassed by having one when pulled over.

I have carried for well over 35 to 40 years now. Like Mbaily said it depends on what I'm wearing and time of year. I started out with a S&W 66 2.5". Since then it has ranged from a Commander, Officers Model, G 19, G26, G23, S&W 642, EMP, and most often lately a LCP because it fits in a pocket with the holster.

Qualification is still required annually for the LEOSA card so I shoot both a wheel gun and semi each year.

West Virginia has Constitutional Carry, no permit required.

I carry Ruger LCP .380
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Just purchased a Ruger SR22, .22 caliber.

Small, lightweight, loud bang when it goes off, very small kick, which allows for more accurate placement. I used to have a Walther PPK .380. Way too stiff in all regards. I could have taken to a gunsmith to have them reduce the weight pull on the trigger, etc though in general, its a cute weapon that is just less effective. Also, the cost of .380 ammo is much, much higher than simple .22.

Also, the Walther has a .22 caliber that is actually slightly lighter and smaller than the Ruger, and from what I hear a great model. The biggest difference, the Walther and the Ruger is cost, the Walther is about $75 more. My little Ruger, with tax was $300 brand new. It also has a threading option for silencers, which sounds fun though I'm not James Bond type so no need of a silencer. Actually, the opposite. Having a weapon ends 99% of any situations, and if you had to pull the trigger a big, loud bang should cause them to piss their pants as they run. Though if it must be, the small kick allows for very accurate round placement. No knockdown but placement kills just fine. If you want knockdown you're going to need a model 1911 .45.

Just my two cents.

It's a safe bet that the powers that be don't actually discard data on purchases.  As for individual criminals who may be lurking bulletin boards, they have much easier targets to choose from.

True, but given that I have no clue who 99.999% of the people here are, coupled with the fact 99.9999% of the people here have no clue who I am....I really don't think it matters.  :old:
