Concealed Carry Pistol Thread

[4.0B2]

yeah, I DON'T LIKE GLOCKS. never have. i don't like the way they feel. sure they are a good gun. but hey, that bersa we have shoots everytime i pull the trigger. its never misfired or jammed on me. and i've put probably 250 rounds thru it. so just b/c a glock works when you pull the trigger--so does a $190 bersa we have.. lol.

glocks just don't feel right in my hand.. and i want a gun that's comfy in my hand.

you can always buy a new grip.

 

[4.0B2]

or i could buy a springfield xd that i love from factory? lol
i could, and i might look into that to. just leave it open as an option... my budget is only gonna go so far after axles, CCP, and then a pistol----then i need tires.. so....

 

[88_Eddie]

that's true. i like the XD .45 myself. it's one of the only handguns i've shot that ALL my fingers git around the grip....none of that pinky under mag shit. i hate that. you cant go wrong with 14 rounds of .45 at your disposal either.

 

[4.0B2]

i live to close to south side memphis... i think 14 rounds is awesome. lol

i need to go look at the different sizes of the xd's. compact vs sub compact and so on.. see what i like more. i want the smallest one thats at a 9mm, .40, or .45-- that i can comfortably hold and shoot. i really just like the .45, so i might go ahead and get the biggest one lol

i'm kinda liking the od green to

the little bersa .380

and ole faithful. s&w .357 revolver. old school.. my dad carrys this. he doesn't want a semi auto to carry lol

 

[super91(2.3)]

S&W .38 special. I hate semi auto, too risky to just catch the trigger on something. Very accurate and alot of knock down power for it's size. I wouldn't carry anything else other than military issue.

 

[4.0B2]

yeah... we have a s&w .38 special to. but the .357 is already scratched up so that's the one he carries. its nothing to have it when bush hogging or anything... its just a carry gun. its not pretty lol

I love my OD green. Hell I even got a benchmade knife to match as you can see in my previous post

I got offered a Taurus pt740 slim. .40. For $330.

What's y'all opinions? I love the feel of the gun.

Skip the Taurus. IMO. Had 2 of them 627 and 617 both went back to the factory, the cylinder locked up on both. If you are going to stake your life on something don't really worry about price But this is my opinon. I like what ruger and S&W are putting out these days. Most Europe based guns H&K, Sig, Brettea, Don't have the best CS and aftermarket parts/ Mags are a little more $$

 

[4.0B2]

Yeah I've decided to pass it up.. Think I'm gonna hold out for the xd subcompact 45

 

[dhinch279]

I got my CCP about 6 months ago. When I was looking at guns I was dead set on the XD40 subcompact, so I went to the local shooting range and they will let you rent any gun they sell and shoot as many rounds as you want for $7 per 25 rounds. I shot the XD and I loved it. Then the owner let me use any conceal carry holster and get the feel of it... then I hated it. Way to bulky in my belt, IMHO. It would be fine in the winter time, but not in the summer.

The owner then showed me this gun:

The Walther PPS 40. Ambidextrous magazine release and less than an inch thick. I LOVE THIS GUN. I bought it after the same tests as the XD. My only warning would be to get yourself used the the magazine release. It is different than a "normal" style, but in my opinion with a little practice it is just as easy and faster than the "Normal" style.

Also, I didn't like the Ruger LCP380. My dad has one for his CC gun and the trigger pull is ridiculously long. Otherwise, it's a pretty good gun and very concealable.

i have two Carry Guns im 6ft 145LB.

ones a Fullsize 1911 in of course .45ACP i have a IWB and OWB for it.

the other is a SIG Sauer P6 in 9mm. have a IWB that i use 99% of the time as the other holster for it is a wore out fobus paddle holster.

 

[daniel3507]

Do they make a .45 xd subcompact? When i was look for mine I could only find a .40
