Glock M30 in a Fannypack- I love my .45

smith 340 pd scandium... .357 at 12 oz.. shrouded hammer fits in the front pocket without being seen.

depends tho.. if you can... a Kimber in .45 is with me or even a makarov or... my cut down Ruger redhawk in 44 mag (they now make one very similar to the one I built called an "alaskan")

I have not ever fired the scandium 44 but am seriously thinking of getting one. I love the 44 and this seems like a great hiking or travel gun.

I don't use reloads either except to shoot for fun. I load hydrashoks in every social gun.

only had a revolver jam one time, was shooting cheap wadcutter reloads that i bought at the gun shop to make holes in paper, one primer was not fully seated and jammed the cylinder, like lazs says , only use factory ammo for "social work".

Thos ultralights made of titanium sure do kick harder. I like the good old heavy guns. Kinda partial to the 44 mag. Would like a 500 volver, just because (good enough reason, aint it?)

How do you carry the Kimber? I'm curious because I'm interested in carrying a full size Taurus 9mm pistol I have.

lazs2 · « **Reply #22 on:** February 09, 2007, 02:26:07 PM »

You won't like the way I carry the kimber.

I use a "clipit" it is a clip like for folding knives and it goes under the ejection port side grip and comes out under the ejection port. it clips to the belt behind the back and inside the pants... I have the same thing for the makarov.

as far a recoil.. I am not especially recoil sensitive but.. the 340 kicks like hell.. I have heard the 44 mag version is even worse. If I need to use it I won't care.

I believe that for most of us tho... we will carry the gun around for life and use it maybe once or twice. the ease of carry is far more important than if it stings a little when fired.

People used to tease me with that line because of my agent moulder affect.

But seriously, lets compare scars now.

Lazs, I found something you might appreciate. If you don't already have one.

Got it when they made the law about 10 round mags. Figure still a good idea to keep it with the 10 rd mag..... in case I am forced to use it, so some overzealous prosecutor, or family lawyer in civil case, won't try to hang me for having 15 rds in my older .40 Ruger P91DC (my former concealed carry tool).... just because they are legal again (and were still legal to have during the ban by grandfather clause) may not matter in the unreality that is a court of law.

Similarly, I never carry reloads. Factory only. Cor-Bon usually.

Paddle holster.

20 years with CCP's from 3 states. Never needed to use it.

I've got a P91DC, and love it! Paddle's are the way to go!

I've only ever had to draw on someone once. Came out of a store to see some jerkoff beating up his girlfriend/wife. This doesn't fly with me, so, I stuck my big nose in the situation. He turned on me with a rather large Buck knife. The old saying about bringing a knife to a gunfight comes into play. Long story short, he took off, and she slapped me for not minding my own business.......lesson learned!

Also have a Sig P226 9mm. Not much of a fan of 9mm's, but it's a sweet concealed carry weapon.

You have an actual clip mounted on the gun?

I was thinking about getting a holster. But seeing as how I mostly wear T-Shirts, is it kosher or even reasonable to get a shoulder holster? Should I look for some sort of inner belt holster?

Xargos · « **Reply #27 on:** February 09, 2007, 10:28:21 PM »

Laser, this is what I use in the hot months of summer down here in S.C.

You maybe able to find a cheaper one somewhere else, Galls can be very expensive.

I carry a Springfield Armory XD-40 in a Safariland ALS holster. Once I have some extra money I am going to buy a Springfield XD-40 compact for off-duty carry.

So, to answer the question, semi-auto.

lazs2 · « **Reply #29 on:** February 10, 2007, 09:41:28 AM »

xargos.. you are kidding right? I am not gonna wear special clothes for guns.. for the same reason.. I don't really own many holsters that aren't plain ol' plain sight carry ones. I do own a desanitis one that fits in the front pocket and keeps the butt of the 340 pd pointed up and in the right angle and obscures the outline.

I don't expect to get into some kind of prolonged gunfight at long range or I would carry my 44 with a couple of my safariland speed loaders.

If it gets worse than that..... well.. I will carry my M1 garand and move about carefully.
