What Do You carry?

[Desert_Rat]

Me? G27.40 mostly,soon to be a P380 also,if Ii can prove to myself that it will be reliable,reliability is key you know:)

[hoffmang]

When outside of California, a PPK/S or a P232. I'm currently thinking of moving toward a P239...

I wish for a s&w 340PD. I just can't see dropping the coin on one gun. w/one kid in braces and another about to and every thing else that goes into raising A High schooler and a Jr. higher. but I could always pass on the next purchase and combine funds for the 340PD

[MrClamperSir]

FN 5.7x28 with mags I bought as a LEO loaded with the heavier rounds, Ruger SP101 357 loaded with Remington 38spl +p SJHP, Beretta 96F (40S&W) loaded with cor-bon power balls. Extra mags or speed loader, surefire flashlight, spiderco knife and a long gun properly (read legally) stored in my vehicle.

If I could find a Ruger redhawk 4in stainless in 45LC, I would die an old man someday with it stuffed in a simply rugged holster ;) loaded with gold dots verison of the flying ash tray :)

..... more that I can't think of right now. You could say that I have explored my options!

The trick is always practice with what you cary in the same manner that you cary it. If you carry a variety of different stuff, practice with all of it together or you will loose your ability to run a variety of platforms mixed together.

I highly recomend choosing one platform of gun and sticking with that design, not that I have myself. Its a lot easier for the average person to own and run a full size glock, mid size glock and subcompact glock than it is to run a single action revolver, double action revolver and polymer high cap style semi auto. The easy of muscle memory makes it much easier.

What do you think about that Ruger P90?

[nicki]

I carry a plain 1991 Colt 45. Have alot of other guns, but it just shoots best for me.

Other choose is a HK USP in 40 caliber. Have a 9mm, but for defense, I like bigger holes:43:

For potential carry guns like either frame mounted safeties or glocks. Not a fan of double actions, especially the DAO (Double action only)models.

I don't want to wind up in a hospital DOA(Dead on Arrival) because my DAO (Double action only) got me second place in a gun fight.

Nicki

[erik18]

I carry a sig p239 in a crossbreed supertuck... Conceals with just a t shirt and very comfortable.

[SCMA-1]

My primary carry gun is a Gen 3 Glock 22 and an extended 17rd mag. My carry load is the Corbon 135gr JHP+P (1325 fps). Sometimes, I will carry my custom widebody 1911 built on an original alloy Para frame with 14rd magazine. Carry load for this one is the Corbon Pow'RBall 165gr.

Both of these guns are well used and proven reliable with the loads carried.

I can only pick from the 3 on my list.

Unfortunately for those that have a max, different issuing authorities have differing arbitrary limits on the number of listed handguns.

I hope that oneday post-Sykes and Shall-Issue that CGF is able to back cases against allot of these arbitrary rules that many CLEOs have inplace.

On my Out of State permit, I would carry either my Glock 19 in a shoulder rig ot Kimber Stainless II in the same.

I had thought that the DOJ changed it so only three were allowed on the permit. I had heard of a story at my CCW class where a guy had taken all of the front space and a good portion of the second page to list his carry guns.

[QuarterBoreGunner]

The Cali DOJ allows up to four; the actual licensing agency can limit that - Santa Clara Sheriff's limit it to two.

[qbi2001]

S&W 1911
Ruger LCR

[QuarterBoreGunner]

^How many rounds you put through that Ruger LCR?

[hoffmang]

The Cali DOJ allows up to four; the actual licensing agency can limit that - Santa Clara Sheriff's limit it to two.

I've looked at both the permit application and the Penal Code. I see no limit on the number of guns you can list on the permit application in either place.

-Gene

[God Bless The Mauser]

I would carry a 1911 or older model Walther PPK or maybe a compact Glock of some sort, it's hard to decide :)

[microstencil]

I've looked at both the permit application and the Penal Code. I see no limit on the number of guns you can list on the permit application in either place.

-Gene


San Diego County has a limit of 3. It is a pain but it is better than not carrying at all. ;)

[QuarterBoreGunner]

I've looked at both the permit application and the Penal Code. I see no limit on the number of guns you can list on the permit application in either place.
I'll have to dig out the information packet that the SO's provided and re-read what it says, and yes, unfortunately, in my case, the issuing agency (Santa Clara SO's) will only allow you to list two on the license. Legal? I have no idea, but when they started that policy about 6 years ago, I wasn't in a position to argue.

[Blademan21]

Glock 30SF
S&W 642
Ruger LCP

Of the three,two are carried at all times.

[nicki]

The state has no limit, but my guess is many sheriff's limit to 3 because on the Application there is 3 spaces only.

There is a comment that additional guns can be added though.

It is probably a issue that the only people who would consider arguing the point would be people who had more than 3 guns.

When I apply post sykes I may put in a simple request to see if the Sheriff would consider changing policy to allow more guns, perhaps offer to do so for a small additional admin fee or something like that.

[AbinSur]

Glock 30. Most reliable firearm I've ever owned. I'd love to get that little Kahr 9mm, though...CW9? Not sure but I'd love to hear from folks that have one. Looks very concealable.

[CAG23]

Forgive me for sounding rude but shouldn't the question be which gun would you sacrifice or could live without? Please correct me cuz I'm sure I'm wrong but I heard that if you do end up shooting someone in ca for all the right reasons that instead of being viewed as a hero you will be arrested and your gun will be confiscated. After you are tried you might get your gun back but the condition of it will be nowhere near white it was when you last saw it. When I read this I reconsidered using my Kimber CDP for my Block. I see everyone on here and their nice carry options but I would be afraid the cops would abuse my nice gun. Any truth to this or just a scare tactic?

[QuarterBoreGunner]

Scare tactic to a certain extent; yes your firearm will be impounded for awhile, but losing access to it or worrying about its condition upon return, should really be the least of your concerns when deciding upon a tool that you may have to use to save your life.

[groovielou]

Just picked up a Khar CW9 for my primary carry weapon, currently experimenting with IWB holsters. Just ordered a Comp-Tac MTAC, hopefully it will be as comfortable as they say it is.

For the summer months, I'll carry my Taurus 85 wheel gun with a simple Glaco pocket holster.

If I'm in an adventurous mood, I will sport the Bersa 380 in a Bianchi, or Don Hume IWB clip holster.

Used to carry my Taurus PT145, but found that a bit too heavy, and thick to be comfortable for me. So, I replaced it with my Kahr CW9.

[MrBrent]

Springfield EMP is my primary carry
XD Service I carry now and then
Russian Makarov
I can only have 3 on my permit in my county in Cali.

[flyer898]

On a daily basis I carry a S&W 337 loaded with +p+ 110 gr Winchester loads. I normally wear a suit, but not always the jacket so the gun is in an ankle holster. At 14 oz. loaded it is comfortable and convenient for daily wear. The crimson trace grips assist accurate shot placement. I have used this combo in IDPA "belly gun" shoots and it works quite well. Extra ammunition is two Bianchi speed strips carried in the outside pouch of my ankle hoster.

[classical_buff]

Used to carry P7M13, 92FS, 5906 or 2" 686.

[redcliff]

I"ve carried several Colt 1911's, as well as snubbie revolvers from SW and Colt, but my Kahr PM9 has retired them all for everyday carry. I generally pocket carry it.

[flyer898]

My S&W 337 is the gun I most frequently carry. Also on my pemit and carried when other considerations permit, sometimes in addition to the 337, are a HK P7M8 and a LW .45 Colt Commander. None of them uses hi-cap mags so I don't worry about the fact mose law enforement officers believe it is unlawful to possess hi-cap magazines.

[shooter308]

For CCW, 3" 1911, IWB, with 1 spare mag and a spyderco knife.

If I'm being complacent or when it gets 100 degrees, 9mm in an IWB, no spare mag and a spyderco knife.

I usually have a rifle, spare rifle mags, spare pistol mags and ammo in my truck.

If I'm riding my bike (bicycle) or carpool with my Gf or buddies, the only weapon I have is the one on me.

Walther PPS in .40 is my main carry weapon now. Close behind is a Glock 27, Kimber Ultra CDP and my Glock 29 and 30's.
