CCW which gun do you use and why?

[rockwerks]

Sounds to me like you are in the perfect situation to be armed/CCW.

Yep my thoughts exactly. 99% of the time everything is cool and idelic here, then someone flips out and shoots and kills a forest ranger, an off duty, cop and some poor old guy in the wrong place at the right time............The PNW is a place where many social drop outs have come to exist.

If anyone wants to come shooting sometime... I live about two blocks away from here: http://www.rfgc.org/

The noise there has picked up a lot lately...

[Spot Me 2]

Yep out of my price range............I was thinking along the lines of the taurus pt-140 for the wife and the Taurus 24/7 Pro for me.

I have a 24/7 Pro. It is a little big for ccw. I have a Millenium Pro.45acp. It's a great carry gun. 3.25" barrel and can be had for around $350 new.. My old carry gun was a Glock 30. I just like the feel of the Taurus better. For a carry gun I would definately go 45! You want one shot stopping power!!!

I heard a funny saying in relation to all the transplants here in WA...

"Washington is the place where California sends all of the people that are too looney to stay there..."

A lot of very "different" people around here with the influx...

I live in Orange County, which is perhaps one of the most conservative areas in the country. We were the only urban county to go for McCain as well. So while parts of LA and SF are pretty out there at times, in fact most of the state is far less looney.

I have to agree with what Bill has been saying. I completely agree on everyone needing proper training before they can carry. Ofcourse I also think people should have to pass a test to drive a jetski or a boat, and have a license to do so. Any boat that runs over 50 mph should have to have a more difficult license to get, and it should get tougher as boat speeds increase. there are too many yahoos on the water these days. ok, back on topic

I know it's not realistic and i know nothing about guns.......but it's sure neato.

looks more like a Desert Eagle...I have had a couple, a .44 mag and a .50AE, I got rid of the .50 cal ....it was too expensive to shoot about $1 a round. I have owned a 9mm Glock, but my fav weapon is my HK-91 which I take to the Arizona desert to go shooting

Desert Eagle (I can't see the caliber either .44 or .50)
Walther red dot site
Surefire tactical light

Nice piece, but more of an intimidation gun than a carry weapon.

[FE Wannabe]

H&k usp .40

My vote is always for my H&K USP .40, especially when loaded with 13 rounds of 135 grain +P Corbons (aka flying ashtrays). Similar balistics to a .357 mag but in a smaller package.

[detox]

The S&W Model 327 TRR8 would be my choice. Eight shot .357 magnum $1200.00

Walmart carries Colt AR15 $1089.00 This le6920 is cool.

I'm very partial to the glock 17. Has never failed to fire and deadly accurate after thousands of round.
Most of the police And tactical guys I shoot with prefer them for this fact.
Keep in mind that with a glock once a round is chambered the gun is hot and has no safety. It does have three internal safeties that protect from accidental fires from dropping it but the gun is still hot. If its chambered and you pull the trigger, it fires.
For home defense I would recommend a short tactical shotgun. They don't shoot through walls.

[Flyin Okie]

My first was a Glock 23 years ago and am now using a G26. I personally like them as they all function reliably and uniformly. Plus I can run a 27-round G17 mag also.

[Steven Vaccaro]

Glock Model 27 here with the extended finger clip. Makes a great front pants pocket firearm.

[Rocstar]

Currently carrying a Kahr CW40...Light single stack mag and affordable..good all around carry.
