What Hand Gun do you use for Personal Protection??

[Outlaw6.0]

I usually carry a 2" .357 in a Simply Rugged IWB holster. I handload 180grn XTP w/ H-110, makes a little bit of a fire ball but it works.



I just picked u a Para-Ordnance Wart Hog. It's a compact, Double Stack 1911 in .45acp. It's bark is almost as bad as it's bite Pretty stout recoil but manageable.

. Thanks for taking the time to post a pic. I should have got folks to post pics of their Borrowed from sidecarflip........."Pocket Rockets"

At my age the only 'pocket rocket' is a firearm.....lol

I'm not all that impressed with Para-Ordinance or Kel-Tec. One of the guys at the club has both and I've handled them and fired them (both). In my observation, both are rather sloppy compared to my Kimber or my Wilson but then you get what you pay for....

A Kimber costs 3 times what either costs and the Wilson. 5 times. The Para-Ordinance was especially sloppy in the slide and both triggers were clunky.

When I think of clunky triggers, I think of Ruger, the standard of clunky.

Speaking of triggers , that is one of my complaints with my Smith & Wesson M&P the trigger has kind of a swivel section in it. Reminds you of a toy . The other down fall to the model that I purchased is it has no thumb safety just the trigger/safety . I carry inside the waist (in the front) I dont keep one in the chamber for fear of blowing my 3rd leg off

 

[SidecarFlip]

The parts get smaller and the price gets more competitive and quality and feel go south.....

One of the gals at the club has one as well. It feels like a toy in my hands. No doubt lethal but it don't 'feel' like a firearm.

My Bond does, one reason I bought it.

No worry about blowing mine off, I don't use it anymore, well, not much anyway.

Just a conveinent drain now.....

I'd love to carry my double action 44 S&W long barrel. Problem is, it's not concealable. here in Michigan, you can open carry. Problem is, with a CCW, you can't.

My bedroom gun is a Ruger Super Redhawk with laser grips. I've got it loaded with 44 Special Speer Gold Dots since I would like to avoid going totally deaf should I need to use it. Also, backing off the full up 44 Mag loads reduces the number of walls it will go through. A fact I'm sure the neighbors would appreciate. With the laser grips it will also take the head off a grouse way faster than lining up sights.

My carry piece is a 45 Detonics Mark VI with 185 grain Golden Sabers. I know the guy (Sid) who designed the Detonics 45. I was hooked when he let me try his. It is amazing. You point your hand and you are on target. I've never seen another like it. I also love that it does NOT have the grip safety.

More to the point however, Sid designed it because, while on duty, he shot a guy through the heart with his service 38 Special and as the guy was going down, he squeezed off a couple rounds and took out Sid's knee. From that experience Sid determined he needed more knockdown power but didn't want to carry a full sized 1911 – thus the Detonics 45 was born. I carry it just right of my back pocket in a Bianchi #5 Blackwidow .45 Auto Colt Cmdr holster that is really quick. So, I can choose to give the bad guys my wallet or a surprise depending on the situation.

I've got smaller calibers but after seeing how badly Sid limped I wouldn't bring one to a gun fight if I had a choice.

I carry a Springfield xdm .45 and the wife carries a sig mosquito .22

 

[IDAHOHUNTER]

I carry a springfield xd 40 with Golddots. I use a crossbreed supertuck deluxe to keep it out of sight.

I carry a Glock 27 in .40 S&W. It conceals well with a 9 round mag but I carry a 13 round mag on my belt in a pocket knife sheath. I drive a tow truck and have just got in the habbit of carrying whenever I leave the house. I used to carry a 1911 in .45 but it was hard to conceal in the summer and I like the idea of having more rounds available.

 

[Trever]

I don't conceal carry often but when I do its a sub compact 22 lr. For personal and home perfection I have a Taurus 357 mag., an sw9ve sigma, and recently added a Beretta m9. I also have a couple guns throughout the house in accessible places. I do plan on getting a compact or sub compact 9 when I move to ak. Been looking at a sub compact baby I eagle with polymer frame for that fix.

 

[bigbuck]

Cool to see all of the different combos and set ups . I like the Idea of an extra clip in a pocket nife sheeth.

 

[tlittle]

I carry a Glock 30SF daily in one of the holsters I make. Very comfortable.

 

[Mossy49]

Use old school 45 cap, brand is a Para Ordance P14 Limited!!! No replacement for displacement!!!! 185 gold dots!!!

I just bought this from Bud's. Acording to CZ75 guys it's not actually a clone but made from the same design with a few key changes, namely in the trigger (I'm going with a clone). Think Beretta 92 and Taurus PT92. The CZ fans seem to like it as much as their CZ's, they go so far as to claim it's equal. Quite a statement I think.
