What CCW Would You Choose?

Recommended Posts

What gun would you choose as an every day carry gun?

I'm not talking about an I'm going to war gun. I'm talking, I'm going for milk.

 

I think a small frame revolver such as the Ruger LCR or S&W Bodyguard would be best.

It will never jam, you never have to worry about a safety, and if it doesn't go bang just pull the trigger again

As of now, if it started today, I would choose our S&W 640 38spl revolver, simply because I dont own another small gun.  That said, My 640 is the older style all steel version, and not all THAT light.  I would consider getting something like a Walther CCP or Ruger LC9s (heard good things about the trigger) if we were actually to get CCW here.  I have very limited experience with compacts/sub compacts, as I have no use for them at this point in time, so I havent spent any time shooting many of them.

I'd almost like to say my Ruger LCP. I love the trigger. Just a touch heavier than the DA trigger on my Sig but really smooth. I understand that the trigger is only good on mid 2013 and later production. I say "almost" because I've had the take down pin pop out on me a couple times.

Not sure exactly which models but small enough to carry on my hip or ankle without a big bulge. Something like the Kimber Solo line. Seem light enough, small enough and a 6 round mag of 9mm should be fine. I don't know how reliable their guns are but that's another factor.

 

Their 1911 Ultra carry line is nice but 1911s are pretty big for CCW from what I've seen.

I would alternate between the following based on the day, how I am dressed, etc.:

 

S&W M&P 9 Shield

S&W M&P 9C

Ruger LCR in 9mm

NAA Sidewinder

 

I would consider the new Glock 9mm, a Glock 19, a Ruger SP101 in .38/.357 and a S&W Model 60.

 

The nod would go to the Shield.

I'll be getting a Lionheart LH9CN for EDC. I'll get the gun & holster as soon as I get a day off from work to switch my license over to TX. Then I'll take the class & get my CHL.

 

The gun was developed for the Korean military and has been carried by them for 20+ years. For some reason, I have an aversion to Lego guns...tried them, carried one as a LEO for a couple years, just don't like them.

 

 

This signature is AWESOME!!!

    • I took down a deck that was attached to the house with a ledger board.  That area now needs to be re-sided.   Its a tough predicament because its such a small job, its only like 24 inches high by about 12 feet wide.  After 3 phone calls last fall i actualy got the guy who built the house to come by, he said "sure, i can do it when i get some down time".   I havent heard from him since. i get it.  its a small job.  I'm a pretty handy guy and out of desperation i could probably watch youtube videos and figure out how to patch this by myself but i think id get lost on trying to match the color and i only need a small amount of material i'd have no idea where to buy a small amount.  So i'm gonna try here if anybody knows a vinyl siding company who wouldnt mind doing what i suppose would be a 30 minute job.  I am fully aware that i would need to have his fee make it worth while for the project even though its such a small patch job.  
    • Thanks for the offer @High Exposure and hope you’re doing well.  I’ll be back in just under 2 weeks and we can all work something out. 
    • I bought the stainless Rossi lever carbine in .357 a few years ago, to match a bush rifle caliber to my revolvers. I'm pretty sure I paid under $400 at the time. Shoots sweet, reliable, more than accurate enough. When I was shopping for it I kept running into comments on gun forums (not this one, iirc) criticiziing the action compared to the Henrys, but I've never shot a Henry lever gun, and I guess I'm too dumb to notice any issues.
    • Interesting discussion. I have plenty of large, tall trees that I could affix antennae elements to . But then I'd be at the mercy of wind and lightning. Of course, a falling tree could easily take out an adjacent tower as well :-) My biggest mental obstacle with installing a tower is how to get all the pieces up the slope to the install point. A new tower is no doubt a pretty big expense, but I see them on FB Marketplace regularly for fairly cheap, provided the buyer takes the thing down.
