What is your favorite Concealed Carry Weapon?

How about the Beretta 950 Jetfire or Beretta Tomcat in 25 ACP, they are great backup conceal carry for those who need one. Fits in your front or back pocket, small purse or in your sock.

The Beretta Pico in .380 is very small as well.

I don't think Beretta makes them anymore.

Either of these at the moment. A Glock .45 cal or a Remington P380. I like the Remington better because it is smaller.
 
one year for my birthday i was given a special addition of my boker ag russsel sting stiletto...... in shape and form it is identical to the original .... but the difference is it;s stainless steel with stag horn scales.... like the original it has a scabbard making concealment easy.... but it;s too nice to carry around.... and certainly too nice to consider using it as a defensive weapon.... ...maybe when i get older and in my final years.... (50 years from now) .. i will consider carrying it for defense... . but for now it;s kept safely tucked away in a box with my spanish silver coins and other valuables.... and i will keep using the carbon steel one shown 2 pages back.... (post #80)..

if a would be attacker saw a man holding a bright and shiny... highly visible knife.... even a small one... .. it might give him second thoughts..... but if that same attacker saw a female my size holding one he might just laugh and keep coming while taking extra measures to make the knife and the hand/arm i;m holding it in uselss... ...... that;s why i was taught the philosophy that the attacker should find out i was armed with a knife when he realizes it;s buried up to the hilt between his ribs and a lung begins to collapse..... ... and even though it;s only 3 and 1/2 inches long.... (legal length for carrying).... i was also taught that there is no body cavity or vital artery that can;t be accessed and opened with a 3 inch blade when it;s weilded by a strong arm and a frightened but determined female. ...or something like that....

THAT is a NICE knife.
 
I'm not sure there is a direct correlation, but have you noticed the cities with the strictest gun laws are some of the most dangerous to live in. I guess it makes sense if criminals know your not likely to be armed then they will be more likely to assult or rob you.

I've never heard of someone being robbed or their camper buglarized at deer camp. I guess all those guys walking around with deer rifles and shotguns with 00 buckshot may act as a deterrent.

I've changed my CC to the Sig P365. It carries VERY well.

I've also changed a couple of other guns for CC when I can get away with a bigger gun....the Walther PDP Compact, Walther PPS M2, or a Shadow Systems XR920.

Let me tell you, I LOVE my Walthers.
 
I'm looking at the Ruger LCR 9mm. Anybody have any thoughts?
I have a Ruger LCR 357, but 38's and 357's are too expensive to shoot for fun.
And shooting 357's out of that gun is nobody's idea of 'fun'.
I've got thousands of 9's.

have you seen this?... ...the charter arms double dog.... it;s a 357 magnum revolver
that can also shoot cheaper 9mm ammo... .not sure how easily concealable it is....
but it would help get rid of a lot of excess 9mms....:sneaky:

i remember people on the gun range who shot 357 mag revolvers talking about how they were using 38 specials to practice because the ammo was cheaper and the recoil was easier to handle... ...but i guess if 38 special got expensive too then that becomes a problem..... ........ we know a lot of guys who reload their own shells... .most of them are shotgun trap and skeet shooters.. . but the pistol reloaders are shooting mostly 45 acp... ... there is a 45 auto pistol club here that holds regular matches at the gun range... .. and between all of them they shoot thousands of rounds in those matches every time... ...i don;t see how they could afford all that ammo without reloading... ....

My dad used to re-load. In fact, he cast his own bullets. He would go to the Firestone/Good year stores and they would give him the old lead weights they removed from old tires and wheels. He was quite the marksman, came from a family of marksmen/women. Grandma won awards too. I have books/trophies with their names in them from Camp Perry in the 30's-50's.
I still have some of the pistols that they used. Several Colt .22's automatics, long and short barrels, two .22 High Standards, several professionally modified Colt .45's and one original Ithaca .45 ACP National Match, and one Colt .38 Officer's Special, along with 2 Winchester Model 52's, .22 caliber long rifles. I have others that were modified war surplus, (1903 Springfield, Krag Jorgensen, K98) but done professionally. Some with unertl scopes as long as the barrel of the long gun. One long gun has a set trigger and the lightest trigger pull I ever have experienced. It's a modified K98. Dad and Grandad were quite the gunsmiths in all aspects. Unfortunately, I never learned the craft, but I sure love to shoot.
Later on in life, Dad must have got the bug to shoot .44 mag, b/c I still have several hundred re-loaded rounds for the Ruger Super Blackhawk he left me.
Also, he had a passion for 30 0'6.
I've got hundreds, but most of them have gotten so old that they don't work well anymore.
He reloaded them for match shooting, not for shooting out of Semi-Autos, like the M1 Garand that he left me or even the bolt action rifle I bought my son, a Savage 110 lefty.
Believe it or not, I have bought a few of my own guns...:)

wow... 😲.. that;s a big collection of firearms.... ..and some very historic ones too.... ..my sister owns several but i don;t think that many.. .. hers are all related to her job . ... ..ironically i;m not supposed to handle firearms at all - but all the guns belonging to both her and my dad are locked up in a huge gun safe that is built into the back wall of my walk in closet.... (i don;t have a key to it)... . ..the room i occupy use to be the station managers room when this was a fully operational safe house... ...

we do have a mecs 12 gauge shotgun shell reloader which is not locked in that safe.. ..it;s in a box right next to the door of the safe with boxes of empty hulls and waddings on top of it... .. but i don;t think anyone has used it in a long time.. ...it was something my dad owned even before i came into the family....

i have written about it before... but if i was ever able to start using firearms i think i would like get into black powder shooting.... flintlock muzzleloaders......my dad has a few of them and i have watched other people at the range shooting them a few times... . even got offered the chance to shoot one of them but turned it down.... ...i studied a lot about them on my own after going through a class in college on balistics and body damage caused by different types of bullets at different speeds.... that was all part of pre-med... ...pretty fascinating... .. but terrifying at the same time......
