Jimmy Reb, SASS #54804 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 If I were to carry it would be one of the 1911's I dont really have.probly the Kimber compact with crimson trace grips in a Bianchi 3s holster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost, SASS #50125 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Are you wondering what the Ghost carries?....Being the "National Fastest Derringer 2013" and a top contender for World Fastest Derringer 2013 (two on target in .47 of a sec)...I carry a Bonds COWBOY in .357 in a cross-draw. I carry all the time, but at home around the place I load .38 cowboy and usually draw and shoot 50 rounds a week.....targets, trees, leaves on the ground, turtles in the pond (they're hard to hit). When traveling, in put my 1911 and an extra clip (Wild Bunch) in the door panel of my truck, but I don't leave it in the truck, I stick it in the small of my back inside my belt (pants). I hope I never have to use them, but I'm 71 and can't run very fast or long. I try to be very polite to everyone. Ghost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virgil Ray Hality, SASS# 37355 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 springfield XDs in 45 in a king tuck +1 its what I have. An LC9 in a king tuck is what I used to have and okay too. I do recommend replacing the sights on the XDs with Trijicon inserts. That is the cats meow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All in either a shoulder rig or belt holster. AND a little prayer that I never need any of them, ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John E. Law Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I've been carrying a Para-Ord P-12 .45 ACP for YEARS and I'm still alive. Seems pretty perfect to me. As big as you are Philly you could carry a Ma-Duece comfortably. Me, I carry a G26 or my personally built Caspian 1911 commander. JEL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hogleg Hunter Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 98% of the time a NAA Pug in my front pocket. If I am dressed to conceal it an Officer's Model .45 or some type of j frame smith, usually a 438 or centennial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Jack, SASS #20451 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I have carried a lightweight commander in a Milt Sparks holster for many years. For the last 10 I add to that an early Kimber Ultra CDP in deep concealment. (I only carry 1911 style pistols in 45ACP). I need all the stopping power I can get. Having killed some with 45ACP's, like Texas Man I can attest to their effectiveness. So 2 45ACP 1911's and I Also carry a very special knife in deep cover. If the weather is warm, I just sweat alot.

Rolan Kraps, SASS # 24084 Life Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 It depends. I most of the time I carry my HK P30. If I'm feeling like I need more, I'll carry my SIG P220 Carry. If I feel I need the utmost in reliability, then I carry my Ruger GP100 P30 SIG P220 Carry Ruger GP100 3" Bea Itchin' carries a Glock 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboy Junky Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Like many people I started out with a 1911, Glock Mid 40 and both spent a lot more time in the house than on my side. I now have a S&W 360 and it's rarely NOT on me.......you know when you "can't" carry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Bullweed Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 S&W 432 Airweight six-shot J-frame in .32 Mag is my medium-dress carry gun for years. A NAA .22 Mag for light summer wear and a Cimarron Thunderer .45 Colt with a 3.5" barrel for heavy duty round out my CCW pistols. A Llama .380 single-action (miniature 1911) also very flat and works like the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abanaki, SASS #34557 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Colt 1911 0fficers model if I'm able to wear a cover garment and use a good belt holster. Being in Florida in July kinda keeps that gun in the safe for a while. This time of year a Colt .380 Pony lightweight in a good pocket holster does quite well. Never could figure out why Colt decided to stop producing them, totally great little pistol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the Black Spot Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Right now i carry an old school charter arms bulldog 44 special. Ideal for me Would be a 4" barreled single action in 44 special with a 1860 army grip frame. But I grew up shooting single actions, so the thumb naturally goes to the hammer.

Texas Man Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Happy Jack, Thanks for Your post. Living in South Texas one never knows whats around the next corner here. I can well undestand the average person may feel any caliber or gun will be all he needs if the time comes on an average subject. And perhaps a hit early in a fight may stop futher action on a averave subject. However, Here and for damn sure futher South alone the Rio Grande the chances of running into a different kind of fight is much greater than in the average city. You can find Yourself standing alone and out in the middle of nowhere with no help close by. And in the brush or cane here You best be preparded to take on more then one or two men at a time. Here things are a whole different matter and life has little value to many around here. I fully agreed with You about the 45 acp and for a long time I carried a 45 Colt commander and also a second one many times when I knew there could be bad trouble at a seconds notice. I now carry a Kimber ccp2 with lazor sights on it. The thing You said about a backup gun and a knife tells me You too have seen times when "Hearts beat fast and bullets flew faster" and watching a man take more than one solid death hits and never give any sing he was hit and go right on fighting til he drops from lost of blood. I know in a death fight on the ground a gun in your booth or a boot knife can be pulled eazy and used. I do agree with You and Six Gun Charley at 45 is hard to beat. One thing many men dont realize in a gunfight is how fast it starts and is over and how fast people move in a very short time. A man with a small calibe gun would be lucky to get off a death shot to the head fast before it all goes to hell and I get chills to think if I was against several armed crazy dudes and he a small or hideout gun to brind into use at the start of the fight. When I was a younger man I had no idea how fast a gunfight could be and standing next to two Old Retired Texas Rangers in a Mexican cantina against three very bad killers the fight was over so fast I never even had my gun out and three men lay dead on the dirt floor at their feet. This fight was over in one tenth of a second. There are so many things You should know if You choose to carry a gun and once You know them Your chances are far better You will be the one who walks away to face a Grand Jury or get Your ass back across the Rio Grande Pronto Fast. Your Pard, Texas Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stumpman Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Nothing like stareing down the spinning barrells of 30mm Vulcan Mini Gun. But like Texas Man and DANG WHAT A MAN nothing beats the .45 period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
