What do you guys use for Carry/Conceal?

[MeefZah]

but the revolvers only go bang six times

5 for most J frame sized ones, like the Airweight.

If you shoot 5 bad guys and more are coming fuggin run I say!

I hope it is nice tomorrow so I can go burn up some ammo and get a ride in.

Once I get a IWB holster, I will be carrying a Ruger GP-100 revolver, with the 4-inch barrel of course. As well as perhaps three speed-loaders...

[drumbtzz]

but the revolvers only go bang six times

u sure?

that looks like 7 to me

[kawi kid]

ok you proved me wrong they only go bang 7 times

[Likwid]

I've always preferred semi-automatic, but it's quite simply, a matter of personal preference.

If you need more than 1 shot you're in trouble... before anyone brings up the amazing speed on the professionals and a revolver that's simply not the norm.

I love semi automatics, but again, that's personal preference, all major brands are manufactured with precise standards, yes a semi has more "parts" to go wrong, I'll take the design, convenience for magazine reloading and fancy features.

Arguing about one being the other is the same as arguing about wearing a helmet, voting for/against an issue, or whether someone is "hot" or not, so long as an "informed" decision is being made noone's mind is going to be changed.

my appointment is next monday at franklin county sheriff to turn in my application.... so it starts

[max power]

but the revolvers only go bang six times

5 times. And if I dont eliminate the threat in 5 shots, I'll cut em.

[owndjoo]

yep gotta let the hammer sit on an empty chamber

[Likwid]

yep gotta let the hammer sit on an empty chamber

Um, that's only on older pistols, usually SAO

[owndjoo]

well yea, i was talkin bout the 5 instead of 6

[max power]

yep gotta let the hammer sit on an empty chamber

You do? The Airweight is only 5 shots, fully loaded. Plenty of shots unless you are planning to start a war.

[owndjoo]

yea the older SAO revolvers with an exposed firing pin...

[max power]

So, who is using an old SAO for CC?

[owndjoo]

prolly no one, unless they daylight doing cowboy shoots

[max power]

[Likwid]

I'd like to OC a cowboy action, would definitely get you some interesting conversations.

Now that it's jacket weather I'm carrying almost 75% in a shoulder holster, but I still put my IWB holster in my pocket in case... but I don't have a problem open carrying... now if I go to Cleveland OC isn't even an option right now :-\

[owndjoo]

my uncle is a big cowboy shoot guy. he'll have an old colt on his hip from time to time

[curby]

typical encounters...

55% of gunfights take place 0-5 feet.

20% of gunfights take place in 5-10 feet.

20% of gunfights take place in 10-21 feet.

95% of gunfights take place in 0-21 feet. (Source- FBI)

The average man can cover 21 feet of ground in 1.5 seconds.

The average man cannot draw a gun from concealment in under 2 seconds.

The average gunfight is over in 3-5 seconds.

3 to 4 shots are usually fired.

[schmuckingham]

I like my Springfield EMP

[owndjoo]

springfields are some damn nice weapons. I think my next pistol will be a 1911, i'm hoping for either a Wilson Combat or Nighthawk. There was a guy with a springfield 1911 in my ccw class yesterday... couldn't put more than 2 rounds on a foam plate per clip.... he admitted it was all him, though. you could tell he was thinkin about the recoil. ofcourse i wouldn't consider that a conceal gun at all.

[kawi kid]

prolly no one, unless they daylight doing cowboy shoots

how odd you say that cuz in our paper today was a whole story about a guy that does those from here

[owndjoo]

that is pretty ironic.

and schmuck, those EMPs look pretty damn sweet. A little pricey to me for a conceal gun, though.

I had a Kimber Ultra Carry II and hated it, I would have gotten a Wilson but they were out of my price range

[Gump]

I carried my old Remington model 51 32cal while fishing on Lake Erie...Just in case the pirates stopped by. Very heavy but small
