Exactly. The debate should be on "What would be good for everyday carry?"

but in this case, I wanted to hear what other people prefer to carry, not their opinion on what would be a good carry. Glad that you and the douche now can stay the **** away from this thread because you two have nothing to contribute.

Wow, dude.



Red might be quite familiar with a wide range of spoons...

These can be carried, but they are pretty big and heavy and can get tiresome, or so I've been told.


These are better since they are lighter and have a shorter slide and much shorter grip, but they can still get tiresome.


Surprisingly, this is actually not bad to carry, but the slide and grip are long.


These are, you know, I've heard, very nice to carry and shoot. They are similar to the XDM compact (2nd from the top), but single stack vs dual stack is an improvement in comfort and weight (but you do lose capacity). I think it is also a bit shorter at the slide and the grip. They come with 2 different sized mags, and you can get a plate for the mag that adds a lip for your pinky.

I suspect lots of folks that have been robbed, mugged or otherwise harrassed or killed have thought the same thing. Stuff happens.

Not necessarily his fault, many people are ignorant of reality. If he worked in our court system he would be more informed.

Plastic Guns? Why do you Yanks love them so much?

How about a finely crafted classic like this?

Carry options...........

I have had a state concealed carry permit for about 40 years. Until just a few years ago, I seldom carried a firearm. Now, with all of the mayhem going on just about everywhere, I have started carrying a Kimber 9mm Solo. It is small, light and easy to conceal. Most of the time, no one has any idea that I have it with me. Given a choice, I would rather not shoot anyone, but in a life/death situation I would do so! I am not going to be a "soft target" for anyone!

Didn't say that we don't love guns like those as well, and since we've had, many, many threads here on exactly this same subject, I can tell you that lots of folks suggest small revolvers fairly regularly (actually, didn't Vash suggest one a few posts up?). Those are actually pretty good, they go bang every time you pull the trigger until you've used up all of the bangs, they can be had with a very short barrel, fairly small grip and can even be had with frames made of very lightweight alloys.

A 1911 is a big, heavy gun. As far as carrying and concealing a gun, big and heavy usually make the job more difficult or more of a pain in the rear. You can get shorter slide 1911 variants, and I think there may be some that use an allow for the frame with a steel slide.

Plastic guns are lighter (plastic vs steel). That helps.

We can't carry guns here in Belgium, not open not conceiled.
So I carry my knife hands. If it works for Mattis, then it can work for me.
