What is your CCW???

justin10985 · July 18, 2007, 10:30 PM

Just wondering what pistol/revolver everyone uses for their CCW. Thanks. -JN

justin10985 · July 18, 2007, 10:32 PM

...Oh and mine is currently the Kel-Tec 3AT .380, some say not powerful enough for a CCW, but I am not sure. Anyway the post is about what your CCW is.... thx.

Right now in the summer P3AT. In the Winter I will go back to my Glock 26.

rantingredneck · July 18, 2007, 10:36 PM

Two that I carry most often:

Ruger P345 in .45ACP

NAA Guardian in .32NAA

During the Summer I carry the P345 at times when I can untuck my shirt and look halfway normal. Other times I just slip the .32NAA in the pocket holster and leave the .45 in the truck. You know how they say that your handgun is so you can fight your way to your long gun? Well my mousegun is so I can fight my way to my handgun

. I have a P89 and P90 that get more carry time in the cooler months, but occasionally I'll feel froggy and carry one of them in the summer.

justin10985 · July 18, 2007, 10:44 PM

Well, rantingredneck, you are a Ruger fan, so am I. My first handgun was the Ruger P95 in 9mm. I love that gun.

tony pasley · July 18, 2007, 10:44 PM

Primary ccwisa Colt Double Eagle full size, secondary is a full size 1911a1.

RevolverLover · July 18, 2007, 10:45 PM

Lately, I've been carrying a 3" Ruger GP-100.

TheBluesMan · July 18, 2007, 10:46 PM

Taurus PT145 or Makarov. I have a Kel-Tec P3AT also that I'd like to carry as a BUG, but it is unreliable.

I am most definitely a Ruger fan.

Presently own:

P345
P89 (first handgun)
P90
MKIII 22/45 5.5 inch Target
PC9 Carbine
10/22 Carbine

I have never owned a P95 but it is on my want list as is a GP100.

justin10985 · July 18, 2007, 10:55 PM

Yes the P95 is a great handgun, I love the all polymer grip. Good choice if I do say so myself. By a couple of them.

MPanova · July 19, 2007, 04:27 AM

Most of the time its the Taurus 24/7 Pro .45 When I need something a little smaller I carry the Taurus PT145

BillCA · July 19, 2007, 04:32 AM

I have several. In summer though, I tuck this one into an IWB holster quite a bit;

.357 Bodyguard

Playboypenguin · July 19, 2007, 04:42 AM

Lately it has been my .380acp Seecamp LWS380 since it is easy to put in my back pocket in a wallet holster.

When I go to the gym I have a S&W 642 in a fanny pack holster.

When the weather is cooler and I wear a bit more clothes I have a few I alternate between. They are...

.380acp NAA Guardian
.380acp PPK
.357mag S&W m60
.40S&W Kahr MK40 Elite
.45acp Para Ordnance SlimHawg

...and I just ordered a 9mm Rohrbaugh R9s the other day.

zoomie · July 19, 2007, 04:48 AM

.357 SP-101, soon to add a 9mm P239 Two-tone DAK.

That way I can go to my safe each morning and say, "Hm... what looks good today."

RocketFoot · July 19, 2007, 07:10 AM

I usually carry my Ruger P89 9mm, but it has a vacation right now so I can get comfy with my new PT1911.

Kirk Keller · July 19, 2007, 07:27 AM

Very sharp looking carry piece you have there.

I always think that people who slam Taurus have obviously never shot one of those. Those guns are awesome.
