What gun do you carry? Do you open carry or conceal?

[Pterodon]

I carry a 1911 in a shoulder rig A jacket or over shirt usually conceals it if I feel the need

Sometimes but generally not. I usually have a ruger lcr revolver & glock 17L kept in my truck along with my truck guns which is just an AR15 set up like an M16A4 and a Remington 870 shotgun.

The ruger LCR is the better conceal carry gun but the glock 17L would better if an actual firefight broke out both in 9mm. Ruger lc9 looks to be a good conceal carry, 7-9 round magazines rather than 5 shots.

I used to keep a ruger security 6 for home defence but Police took it as evidence after a home invasion where I shot a violent meth head, the gun got lost in the evidence locker, was a dame good gun. I've replaced it with a 2nd Glock 17L with a standard mag& two 30 round magazines in a safe by the bed

I try not to own too many guns, had a serious collection a while back, sold them all off.

I like single stacks. They’re slimmer. My backup sidearm is a Springfield XD-S in 9mm. My 1911 is 45 of course

I hear that from a lot of M1911 guys but a glock mag has twice the ammunition as a 1911 mag. But then thats why I often just carry my revolver, in most cases I can't get it done in five shots then maybe I shouldn't have a gun.

[Pterodon]

That’s the way I feel. I stress accuracy. I don’t care how much ammo your mags carry if you can’t hit your target it doesn’t matter. My 1911 is 8+1

[Pterodon]

WWII was won with a rifle that held 8 rounds and a sidearm that carried 7. Go figure

[Opinion Owner]

I can't see myself needing to hit anything past 8 yards and you'd struggle to with an LCR but I put in the practice. Orginially bought it for my wife but she won't carry it, even got it in pink, tried teaching her to shoot even tried bribing her but no good.

I have never carried a firearm for protection. I’ve only transported them to ranges, hunting grounds and friends’ or family’s homes.
Despite the fact that i have done a great deal of work to manage my anger issues, i do know that i’m capable of extremely violent outbursts. I wouldn’t trust myself to carry a loaded firearm for any reason except the most extreme circumstances.

Open carry. Beretta 92fs. Thankfully my state allows open carry of any gun, so if I wanted to go somewhere and open carry my shotgun or rifle, I very well can.

[Pterodon]

I can too. I can carry as many as I can but long guns have to be on a sling

[Agape93]

Ours doesn't have that provision

[Pterodon]

That’s even better

[Agape93]

Agreed <3

Have both a Glock 43x & a Springfield Hellcat. Both are 9mm, slim compacts good for conceal carry (Ohio here by the way).

Thanks for the MHO!!!

I live in California, so I can't open or conceal carry here without a permit, which is very difficult to obtain in Los Angeles County. I want to move to Houston, Texas later and retire there. I'd probably carry a Savage Stance RX, Derya DY9, or some other cheap, compact, but reliable handgun in 9mm.

[Physics-Man]

I'd load them with Hollow-Point or Frangible rounds. I want to build a collection of firearms in Texas.

[jahaims]

M&p 40 usually. If im going to be more active or am worried about it being seen i will carry my fn 5.7 . I exclusively conceal carry and think open carry is a liability.

[Pterodon]

Do you like your M&P?

[jahaims]

Yes, it was the first handgun I purchased.

[exitseven]

I have a S&W Model 66 with 4 inch barrel. I have a conceal carry permit but it only leaves my house when I go to the range

[DonaldDarko]

I had a gun a long time ago but I lost it in a boating accident.

[worldscolide]

I carry a desert eagle. My wife carries a glock. Both concealed

[Pterodon]

How do you carry your Eagle?

[Pterodon]

Those are big

[worldscolide]

On my side holstered. Yeah it's big, and if you're not trained to use it shooting it can break your wrist.

[Pterodon]

I believe it

[AgentG111]

Several different ones and depending on the situation mostly concealed at times open.

45 acp / 9 mm / 357 Magnum

[queenofcardio]

I don't carry

[Anonymous]

Not really. I leave my burner at home.

[beefcakebradybatson]

I carry my #blackboyjoy in the holster !!!
