So If....... - Page 3

Several not impacted, several reverting to 1911, several going to something like a small Glock, some going (or staying) revolver.
A good mix.

CajunBass · April 18, 2018, 05:58 AM

The same LC9S I carry now.

spacemanspiff · April 18, 2018, 07:08 PM

Wouldnt need to change much, seeing how I currently carry a 1911. But I would probably look into some other 9mm options. Maybe a Sig P225, or another Colt 1911 in 9mm. If i stuck with 45acp a Sig P220.

Crankylove · April 18, 2018, 10:13 PM

Wouldn’t really affect me.

My daily carry is usually one of 3 revolvers:

SP101 in .327 Federal, 6 rounds
GP100 in .357 Mag, 6 rounds
NAA Mini in .22 Mag, 5 rounds

Every once in a while, I change things up and carry a full-size 1911, 7/8 rounds.

Ruger45LC · April 19, 2018, 09:59 AM

I pack around (and pocket carry) a G27. Sometimes I put the +2 extension on it, but in stock form it's 9+1. But...Trump isn't going to pass anything resembling a ban or restriction.

jimbob86 · April 19, 2018, 10:39 AM

My EDC is 9+1. Won't change.

gnystrom · April 19, 2018, 05:23 PM

The same gun I carry now, a Sig P365.

RickB · April 19, 2018, 05:50 PM

I carried a 6+1, compact .45 for many years, but I've switched to a 7+1, very compact 9mm.
The .45 was big and very heavy for a "compact", and ammo advancements have made me more confident in calibers that don't start with "4".
I've never carried a gun with a capacity greater than 8+1, so capacity limits have never played a part in choices.

bamaranger · April 21, 2018, 11:53 AM

Back in the days when the mag capacity law was in effect, I think there was a distinct trend towards the .45 acp, and the 1911 pistol and variants as well. There are now many makers of the old Colt, even though it is well past its 100th birthday.

Were we to be legislated again, I predict a resurgence in .45 acp and single stack designs as well. For me, I'd likely go with my Browning HP in .40, a 10+1 pistol.

Siggy-06 · April 24, 2018, 07:05 AM

My current ccw's don't even hold ten: My Beretta Pico and my Springfield XDS. No reason to change them. Now if I wanted to carry a full size pistol with a 10rd capacity, I'd want something light/polymer, most likely a glock 17.

I'd stick with my S&W Shield.

jetinteriorguy · April 25, 2018, 05:12 AM

I'm with CajunBass, I've tried several higher cap carry guns but just keep going back to the LC9s and have settled on it permanently. Everything about it just works for me.

Kevin Rohrer · April 25, 2018, 08:55 AM

What I carry now: a BHP in .40S&W.

Laz · April 25, 2018, 10:15 AM

At the risk of seeming to throw a Baby Ruth into the swimming pool, now that we have concealed carry, when I read what the majority here are actually carrying day in and day out, it makes Bill Ruger’s alleged remark that “honest men don’t need more than ten rounds” a bit less evil sounding and a lot more prescient.

That said, I’m agin a magazine ban. ☝️

DPris · April 25, 2018, 12:31 PM

I think we'd see a definite surge in 1911s, but looks like there are already a helluva lot of people already carrying smaller 10-rounders.
Denis

Lohman446 · April 25, 2018, 12:56 PM

I think the last high capacity magazine ban really helped pushed the CCW movement. We got "good" CCW guns in manageable sizes in 9MM. Think about the 9MM before that. For the most part they were full size and large capacity handguns intended primarily for duty carry.

Limit the magazine to 10 and suddenly a lot of things changed. The guns were scaled down to a degree to these new magazines and became somewhat "convenient" to carry.

stephen426 · April 25, 2018, 03:58 PM

I'm already way under that with my Glock 43 for concealability. I do carry 2 spare mags which gets me up to 19 rounds.

The Brady Bill really increased the number of concealable pistols since making new guns with greater than 10 round capacity was illegal.

It would give me an excuse to buy a new Sig P365!
Even though I don't even have the P320 Carry I bought a few months ago broken in yet.

aarondhgraham · April 26, 2018, 10:41 AM

When I pocket carry,,,
It's a Ruger LCP,,,
7-rounds max.

When I holster carry,,,
It's a Ruger LC9,,,
8-rounds max.
Or,,,
S&W Model 36,,,
5-rounds max.

When I carry in my briefcase,,,
It's a Beretta Model 85,,,
9-rounds max

So I guess I won't really be all that affected,,,
If 10-round mag limit law does come to pass though,,,
I can always buy some 10-round mags for my Bersa Thunder Pro UC9.

I might be tempted to get an identical Bersa in .45 ACP.

I never faulted Bill Ruger for saying that. I actually agreed but always felt you should be able to carry any capacity gun you wanted.

If I didn't use my 5-6 shot revolvers I would just switch to my 9 shot S&W model 39-2. Its accurate and dead nuts reliable.

BigJimP · April 26, 2018, 11:36 PM

No change for me, I carry a 5" Wilson Combat 1911 now in 9mm...10 + 1 / ...no impact...

stephen426 · April 27, 2018, 09:41 AM

I'd bet the people who believe in open carry would be affected. Us concealed carry guys have to think about the overall package, especially if we live in warmer climates.

Austin HiPowers · April 29, 2018, 03:49 PM

Most probably S&W Shield 9mm (although my trusted G26 also might be an option)

I think you should man up and carry all three at once. I'd do GP in shoulder holster, SP IWB, and the NAA either on the ankle or pelvis.

weblance · April 30, 2018, 10:11 AM

Same gun I carry now. Glock 30s. Its comforting having 10+1 of 45acp in a package that I shoot well. If I really need to deep conceal, I carry my Glock 36, same gun, but single stack frame. 6+1. My groups aren't quite as tight with my 36, but its absolutely reliable, as is the 30s. Both wear Glock Night Sights, so I'm happy with those two.
