? about carry

[Timothy]

S&W is the largest gun maker in the United States.  Nearly all of their handguns are approved for sale in MA so lets assume that most are good in CA as well.  I rarely, if ever, have found a gun shop that didn't have S&W in their inventory and based on the prices, they need to move these guns.

From the supply and demand side, I vote S&W though I don't own one and may never...

I would say most likly smith, between the j frame and all the 3rd gen autos that tons of LEAs still issue smith has to be number one..


I personally carry a delta elite, a fully size 1911 is very easy to carry.

The way I look at CCW, if I'm going to carry a gun, it might as well be a gun I know that I can shoot quick/accurate, makes a big hole(45acp, 10 mm or 38 super all do that) and works 100% of the time.

For me, thats a 1911.

I would say Snubbies and Mouseguns are probably the most widely carried.

I have a Glock 27, M&P 340 J frame and a Para 1911 currently on my permit and it usually ends up being the J frame in my front pocket that goes with me.

MB discussed just this the other day...stating that most gun guys he knows carry a j frame S&W of some sort.  As for myself, I have and carry a J frame 642, Colt LW Officers ACP and a Ruger LCP.  If I could find a new or lightly used Glock 26 without finger grooves I would add that to my collection after I put enough ammo thru it to be comfortable!  I shot one shortly after they first came out (which was before Ohio had CC) and I didn't have the $$$$ to get one and then they added FG's and screwed things up.

My G21 is way too damn big for concealed carry in south Fl. I don't dress like Don Johnson(Crockett), either, so a shoulder rig won't work.

Usually, pocket pistol in .380, or my new .38 snub, IWB. It just hugs the hip, still retains movement, sit comfortably, etc,...

Now that it is "cooler" my M+P .40, or FN9, fits IWB better than my G21, which is a railroad tie wide.(not the sf)...same for my full size 1911. Simply less clothing. I tried smaller Glocks for carry, but they lumped on my side. (just a personal thing).

I voted other, as the question covers alot of ground, especially if climate, is a factor. Snubs and sub compacts of all makes would seem likely.

Unless you have a -10 below North Face, Fargo winter coat, and long johns, hoody, and sweater,etc,....than you could get a T/C Contender under your coat,...maybe even a SERBU...

P90.... then if you have to fight your way back to the "gate" no worries!

WAIT! (PLEASE)

The question was what does the "general" public carry.  Not what "gun" guys carry.  Not what's best to carry.  But what's the average, non-gun aficionado have.

I'll say it's more in the "Value" line:  Bryco, Jennings, Raven, Lorcin and HiPoint.

Value line indeed,....hopefully, at least Bersa, Taurus, Kel-Tec, lines, .....Although, that little Davis .380 my ex has was alright,....

"value" said with tongue-in-cheek.
