What's your favorite concealed carry firearm? Pics?

[NE450No2]

For over 40 years I have never carried only one handgun. Before I was hired, On or Off duty, or now that I am Retired.

For a primary my favorite is a Colt Commander in 45 ACP, [what most people call the Light Weight Commander]. I would NEVER consider anything smaller for a Primary...

For a second gun, a S&W Airweight Bodyguard in 38 Special has seen a lot of use.

These 2 handguns have been my EDC for many, many years.

Depending on the situation I might go to a Govt. Model 1911 and carry the Commander as a No 2, or maybe even carry 2 S&W 44 Mags...

Bottom line is I always carry a 45 ACP or a 44 Mag as a Primary and then carry a suitable No2, and even maybe a No3...

Depends on my mood...

Ruger SR1911 in a Mitch Rosen

S&W Model 38 (circa 1971) Airweight in an Akers

Mostly I carry a 342.

(It seems to be the style now to include some cheesy taktikool 'combat folder' in gun pix. Not having such a thing I made do with a Randall Gambler.)

For some reason I could not post a pic at this time? Wouldn't allow me to attach it!?

Just open a Photobucket account, upload your images and copy the "IMG" code, paste the code into the "Insert Image" box in the "Reply to Thread" box on this forum. Easier than Paris Hilton.

This 649, which I won shooting in my first PPC match with the LAPD team, is now in semi-retirement. It wears John Hurst cocobolo stocks.

Awesome humpback, Bob. Those stocks really compliment the look of that Bodyguard.

 

[Horace & Daniel]

Now that it's summer my current favorite is a former Michigan
State Police M649 back-up gun (BUG.)

I like it so much that I picked up 2 more former MSP M649's (no dash) on Monday and
another former MSP BUG yesterday, only this last one is a two-tone M38 Airweight.

Some really cool, vintage Bodyguards on display in this thread. How did you come by the MSP versions?

 

[Horace & Daniel]

Model 649

His and Hers Humpbacks. Very nice. Are the manufacture dates close to each other?

 

[The Sarge]

Heckler & Koch P2000 is my current favorite and that pistol will remain my favorite carry for a long time. Bill

 

[Two Guns]

Glock 23 with a KelTec P3AT as my BUG.

How did you come by the MSP versions?

While looking for a Model 649-3 for another member here I
placed a WTB ad on a local gun forum and got a hit on a M649.

It turned out that the guy who contacted me is a MSP LT. that
works at the same post as a family friend. Since that first deal
we've done a couple of others, with, I'm sure, more to come.

The 442 is now in retirement and I'm carrying my new M&P 340 loaded w/the Remington +P FBI round.

Most carried "EDC":

rotated in EDC's:

all year long....shorts, tshirt, jeans, suit, winter, summer, no matter....

 

[vista461]

I carry all three, just not at the same time.
When its warmer its the compact, cooler its any of the three.

 

[CWH44300]

This one goes everywhere with me in retirement. 442 .38 in a battered inside the pants holster made by Vic Perez, Burbank, CA.

Favorite (2 ) carry

The Walther ppk/s 380 with corbon DPX 80 grain. Not S&W Walther but made by Interarms. I change everyday from 380 to S&W 3913 carry, a sweet semi-auto 9mm.

Hi:
My current CCW is a Glock 17 9mm and a dull pocket knife.

at least the knife can be fixed
