Carry guns... got yours picked out yet?

[Rocket Power]

Being a big boy:goof I think I'll be ok with my FS M&P Pro or my 4003, but I may pick up a S&W CS9, 3913 or single stack4013. Or possibly a S&W 442 .38. Yeah I'm a fanboy:rolf

I'm leaning towards a 38 revolver. I really like the Bodyguard 38's I got in. I may snag one for myself.

[Rocket Power]

I do like how high the grip comes up the backstrap on them. Seems like it would dampen recoil pretty well.

[davidrab]

Although I'd like to try one out, I always figured on it being a Kimber stainless ultra carry.

[TheRX7Project]

My dad is planning on carrying his full-size 1911.... I told him he's nuts.

I've got a Sigma 40 but I'd like to get something smaller, and preferrably a revolver for reliability.

[Reverend Cooper]

I will carry my Judge.
No jury required.

[Mudd Runner]

My Millenium Pro.

Post of the week!

[xxtremeteam]

my glock 22 40 cal

[hotrod96z28]

I'll have my glock 30

[Silver350]

I will probably carry my sig 229 for now. I have a holster for it and with a baggy shirt you cant even tell. I would like to get a Kahr PM40 when money allows

[spooln30]

FN PS90 custom holster.

[william schlosser]

The S&W 3913 is a great carry gun.

[Coops Brother]

G23 or Ruger SP101 .38Spl. 3" barrel

[Korndogg]

I wouldn't mind picking up the Kimber pro carry II.

[That_Guy]

I plan on getting a pk380 for carry. I do have a s&w airweight 442 that shoots 38 special +p

[-stew-]

S&W40 for now. I used to have a Taurus seven shot .357 that I really liked, wouldn't mind another one of those and or a compact pistol. Not really knowledgeable on the choices out there currently.

dear lord they better not let you conceal anything more powerfull then a slingshot,im afraid for you

[Coops Brother]

Slingshot.....the cheap silencer.

[-stew-]

This dude named David used to be boss with the sling back in the day!

[Reverend Cooper]

yes and fortunately he was a smart well trained soldier,you are neither,i fear for your safety.

[subliminal1284]

Mine will be a Walther PPS in .40 cal. Nice and small enough to fit in a cargo pocket.

[GsxrBots]

I'm leaning toward a Ruger LC9
But I could be talked into a Springfield subcompact XD. :D

[Bart H]

I think a G30 will work fine.

and want.

One of the 2 will live in the car. I don't have any real justification to carry.

Do want, I've been eyeing the PK380 since before they came out. Let me know what you think of it if you get one.

[That_Guy]

I'm going to pick one up within the next 2-3 weeks here.

[350-Z28]

Thinking my full sized 1911 as well, or if I end up buying another hand gun maybe a beretta 92fs or m9 or maybe a beretta in .40 S&W. Nothing says you fucked with the wrong guy like staring down a 5in barrel in .45 ACP with some hollow points waiting on the other end.

[Brian98GTP]

Resurrecting this thread.....

I sold my H&K USP 9mm at a gun show this weekend for $535, and picked up a brand new Walther PK380 for $373 for my CCW. I'm thinking of getting the Theis holster for it as well. Hopefully I'll have time to go shoot it this Weds after work. Any complaints about the PK380 from those of you that own one?

I bought one for my girlfriend to shoot. Great gun, very comfortable. I like it.

Out of curiosity, how will the ccw bill change how handguns can be transported in vehicles? Do they still have to be cased and out of the drivers compartment?

[Korndogg]

Last I saw....It can be loaded, in your holster or wherever.

[88Nightmare]

So it can be holstered on you, or in your glove box or under your seat? Basically it no longer matters if it is loaded and within reach?

[Silver350]

Last I saw....It can be loaded, in your holster or wherever.

Correct me if I am wrong I thought I read some where that carrying it this way is only an option for conceal carry permit holders. If you do not have a permit it has to be unloaded and cased. Also long guns like Riffles and shotguns also have to be unloaded and cased.

Edit This is from the DOJ Student handbook.


Weapons in Vehicles
License holders may carry a loaded, concealed handgun in a vehicle. Rifles and
shotguns, however, must be unloaded and enclosed in a case that is completely
zipped, snapped, buckled, tied or otherwise fastened with no part of the firearm
exposed

[Wagonbacker9]

Makes sense. Why would anything change for a non-permit holder?

[Korndogg]

Yes that is for permit holders.

[88Nightmare]

Sorry, my question was asked assuming an individual in question was a permit holder.

[Russ Jerome]

Been pocketing my dads little Charter Arms 38 for over a year now, fits in shorts pockets, jean pockets, in your sock with no holster. If I buy another it will be another tiny 38, shoot a couple logs or cinderblocks and you will find a 38 is a nasty little, tiny round I would not want to be hit with.

[Coops Brother]

Out of curiosity, how will the ccw bill change how handguns can be transported in vehicles? Do they still have to be cased and out of the drivers compartment?

They never had to be out of the drivers compartment in WI. Just cased and unloaded. When you have a valid concealed permit you may have a loaded uncased handgun in your car anywhere, (feel free to put it in the trunk) you may NOT however have an uncased or loaded rifle or shotgun in a car, regardless of permit status.

Back to the theme... one of my favorite carry pieces.

[Reverend Cooper]

I think with all the holsters i have I may just carry a different gun every day of the week,Mine now will be the beretta 40 storm sub compact it is a sahweet machine

[88Nightmare]

What kind of decent holsters are people going to be using? I just have hard plastic formed belt holster for my S&W M&P Pro .40 cal. It's kind of a large gun... Not sure if I'd want to use that for ccw.

[Rifleman WI]

You should be good for the winter, a nice coat should cover a large gun without a problem. I plan on carrying my XDm .45 in the winter under my jacket, it covers it up good, and it is also a huge pistol.. I have a Blackhawk Serpa Holster for it, its not a CCW holster, but it will work for now..

[88Nightmare]

Yeah mine isn't a ccw holster. It's probably as obvious of a holster as you can get haha

[Rifleman WI]

haha, yea i was messing around with the holster that came with my XDm, i drew my pistol and the holster came with it... going to probably mount it in my car, it will suit it better.. its a POS for anything else..

[350-Z28]

Thinking I might switch to the CZ-75 SP-01 Phantom, though I did look at the CZ P-07 duty pistol and it was nice enough, just didnt like the way the grip felt. I have a thing for full size guns :/

[BigSnailBuick]

Winter = Full size 1911 in Galco jackass rig :)

[MurphysLaw88GT]

CZ75s are awesome.Love mine.

[88Nightmare]

I'm pretty sure my m&p pro is a 4.25" as well. Where is Fletcher's?

Are you going to use your m&p pro as a carry weapon? You don't feel it's too large?

[Nix]

Fletchers is on main street in Waukesha. Almost next door to waukesha scrap & iron.

I am going to use my M&P and my 4003, Both fullsize guns. I can conceal both under a shirt. My wife used the M&P for her CCW class. I will get a more compact one for hot summer days later on, but especially for fallwith sweatshirts and such, a fullsize is fairly easy to conceal with a good holster and belt. Does your Pro have night sights or the fiber optic ones? The 4.25" ones have night sights.

Having more cant makes it easier to hide the grip as well.

Nice thing about the full size guns is you can usually get a compact that can share the fullsize mags for reloads, M&P9c and 4013 in my case. I'll end up with one or both.


My Pro w/o holster, along with other S&W items .lol

i bought mine from fivo very nice piece so far only run 200 rds thru it of winchester white box. not once has it jambed up on me. all tho i clean the thing spotless after everytime i've shot it. at least 100 rds each time ive shot it so i'de say its pretty reliable. is comfortable for a smaller gun. The gf put a clip thru it and she didn't mind the recoil at all. all i need is a holster and anouther clip for this thing i give it an a+

[WI_Dave]

I have two .40's that I may alternate between but I also have a pt145 that is very small for a .45 its alot smaller than my .40's. Then again maybe I will just go get something specifically for ccw after Christmas is over.
