Caliber of your primary CCW?

grimjaw · June 16, 2005, 01:52 AM

I realize there is variation depending on conditions, but I'd go with the caliber used the majority of the time.

Don't forget the .40 S&W.

Mark54g · June 16, 2005, 09:10 AM

I guess .454, 45-70 and .500S&W fall into other?

Twycross · June 16, 2005, 09:13 AM

It would have to be a pretty resourceful (and impervious to recoil) person to carry 45-70 as a CCW. Do you mean .45 LC?

Jehzsa · June 16, 2005, 09:17 AM

.45.
Followed by 9x18U. Followed by 9mmL, followed by .380, followed by 9x18M(my kid's guns, hardly carry them now because of that).

k_dawg · June 16, 2005, 10:28 AM

S&W.40 is not on there, but .44magnum is?

tulsamal · June 16, 2005, 10:48 AM

That is weird: no .40 S&W! I like .357 Sig as well and it's not there either.

But my primary CCW is a .44 Special. Not on the list!

.45 ACP - 230gr Remington Golden Sabre.

BerettaCougar · June 16, 2005, 11:11 AM

9mm - 9x19

124gr Hydrashocks...

I used to carry Magsafe, but those are too costly.

Duxman · June 16, 2005, 11:13 AM

I have never heard of a .44 mag CC, but no 40S&W on list?

.40 S&W

ATW525 · June 16, 2005, 11:44 AM

I put in my vote for 9mm, though I carry the curiously absent .40 S&W just as much.

Avizpls · June 16, 2005, 11:55 AM

*another one to complain about the omittance of 40SW*

yorec · June 16, 2005, 12:00 PM

I also carry the .40 just as much as the .357 I voted for...

This poll's gonna definatley be skewed without it being listed as an option.

7.62 · June 16, 2005, 12:06 PM

.50 cal BMG with 40 inch barrel. Fits perfect in the coat pocket. 150 round ammo can in the other pocket. J/K

Bersa .380

Cryptoboy · June 16, 2005, 12:11 PM

Another .40 carrier here.......

Kindof weird you forgot that one, it's .40 cal one of the most commonly carried now by LE?

Mark54g · June 16, 2005, 12:17 PM

nope, meant the 45-70 conversion revolver

Of course, I would never carry a cannon like that. I live in NJ, we don't get to use much more than harsh words and fleet feet.

7.62 · June 16, 2005, 02:13 PM

I thought about a .40 cal but since its not on the poll, I guess nobody uses it. So then I guess ammunition isn't even made for it anymore, and if I find it I will probably go broke buying it. That .40 cal is so '90's. I just heard of a new caliber that just came out, like yesterday. I think it was the hmmm, hmmm oh yeah it was the 45acp. Wow I can't believe that was on the list, never heard of it before.

racinstylez · June 16, 2005, 02:30 PM

man, you forgot the .40 S&W

mfree · June 16, 2005, 02:45 PM

.32 H&R too.

There's wayyyy too many calibers to list everything, really... I'm sure some people carry .22magnums. Someone else may very well still toss around a .38S&W or a .32 S&W long. Someone else already brought up the 9x18 calibers (ultra and makarov). There are the new .25naa and .32naa cartridges. I remember reading someone who used to pocket a beretta .22 SHORT, which is kind of futile in my mind but hey, it's funtional. A few people talk about .36 black powder. .41 magnum, I've considered.

This stuff's been around a long time, you've got to be a walking encyclopaedia to remember it all, and there are enough people carrying nowadays that just about anything's possible

Jeff #111 · June 16, 2005, 02:52 PM

Did anyone mention there's no 40?

bclark1 · June 16, 2005, 03:06 PM

where's the @#$in 40

payne · June 16, 2005, 04:50 PM

Man, I can't believe you left off the 40

. I carry the 40 daily. and you will hear many more people say "Where's 40?" Ive never run into a 44mag CCW

person. I'm sure there out there just not in the numbers that 40 is.

res1b3uq · June 16, 2005, 05:07 PM

Been thinking about getting a .40

grimjaw · June 16, 2005, 07:54 PM

Apologies on the list of choices. I only had 10 possible poll options. I should have listed .40 S&W on there, an oversight on my part.
