best carry caliber

[Walt M]

I go back and forth between 2.. S&W Bodyguard 380 in my pocket or a SCCY cpx2 9mm with a paddle holster. Depends on weather.

[Blueline]

Mostly 9MM. Sometimes, .40 or .357Sig. Rarely, .380 or .45ACP.

Just picked up this SW MP Bodyguard .380 as one of my carry guns. Compared to my MP Shield 40 it's like carrying nothing.

After a wait of just about 5 months, the Legion 9MM has arrived.

After a wait of just about 5 months, the Legion 9MM has arrived.

Love my Legion 229.. We have a standard 229 also and it's day and night between the 2. Legion has become my "go to" edc and training gun.. Some of the best fitting/finished grips I've seen on a "factory" pistol too. My next sig I think is going to be the 229 Combat (just cause of the coating on the internals!)

A Ruger LC9 fits well in the rt frt pocket of .... Wranglers.

A Sig P229 dao works well on a belt under a loose shirt.

A S&W M-27 in .357 mag with 8-3/8 bl for when I don't care and woods carry.

A Ruger SP101 .357 bobbed hammer dao ankle carry or boot top works.

I can think of others but those are "go to" choices.

kel tech pf9 works well for me. I had a barretta nano but found it was too thick to be comfortable

a Big Boxer Dog that will tear your leg off if I tell him too.

Love those boxers. I still miss mine (Max) after many years. Nobody and I mean nobody would come near our house including the police that answered a false security alarm at our house. When they came up to the patio doors and saw Max they wrote in their report "large boxer dog in residence.......obvious false alarm"

Just purchased a SCCY cpx2 and I think it just might become my favorite carry weapon, between the .380, 1911 .45, and the baby desert eagle (a Kel Tec .32). Light weight and comfortable to carry.

Here's what I carry now...a Glock 30S. Not much bigger than G26, except it's a .45 caliber, and with the extended (factory) magazine it carries 10+1. That's 2 less than the full size G21 and a whole lot lighter.

I qualified with it for my conceal carry. The instructor smiled and said, "I don't see very many people qualifying with a .45."

[cdculbertson]

My normal EDC is either a Glock 19 Gen 4 or a Glock 30, either one carried in a N82 IWB holster.

On the trike I have taken to carrying a new Ruger LCP because I find both of the Glocks uncomfortable IWB when riding, and the LCP can be easily concealed in either my vest pocket or a jacket pocket.

Carry a Glock 19 go to some iffy places in Chicago

[desertclassic]

In NM you can not conceal carry legally a caliber larger than the caliber that you qualified with. I qualified with a 45 semi auto and a 45 revolver.. So I guess that rules out the 500 calibers for me. 95% of the time I carry my sig P238, 380. Love that little guy. Jim

[Mykneesbehurtin]

I carry a S&W M&P shield,with having some arthritis in my thumbs i'm not comfortable with a double stack.But my wife carries a Glock 19 Gen 4

[Fearless]

I partial to a little KAHR in 9MM easy to hide IWB loaded with premium ammo and a little extra ammo in case I go down the wrong road unknowingly. but My AR 15 300BLK. pistol does fit in the Tourpak nicely. ride safely fearless

I have been carrying a Rock Island Armory 1911 in 22TCM .. fairly new caliber but

with a muzzle velocity of 2000 fpm it is explosive when it hits ...

Do my own reloading and have been recently loading a .218 Bee .224 bullet which hasa cross hatched hollowpoint ... Destroys small watermelons at 25yds ....
