What caliber is your big bore carry gun? If you have one.

Total Titanium 45 Long Colt weighing in at 20 ounces is my favorite

Here it is stuffed with the Barnes Total Copped Hollow Point bullets

Very easy to carry all day

You have to Love a Hollow Point that you can drop a 22 into

Beautiful! What brand of hollow point polish do you use?

Not on your poll list, but the old .44-40 Colt Single Action Army Frontier Six Shooter is still just as capable of performing serious social work as it was 107 years ago when it left the factory.

Those Barnes bullets leave the Factory looking that good

For urban Concealed Carry the only thing at .4 or bigger are several .45acp.

Woods carry in Penn's woods a k or J frame .357 is good to go.


Edit: Do have a Sig 229 with both .40 and .357sig barrels.... and a small stash of mags and ammo......... just in case

1911/.45ACP is my daily carry and it's on my hip as I type this.

Mine is a Kimber Ultra Carry Series 1....

Sig Sauer P220 manufactured in Germany, with FMJ 230 grain ammunition, in Argentina we cannot use hollow point for personal defense.

Although I voted 45 acp , my big bore carry gun is a snub-nosed revolver! A Taurus 455 , 5 shots of large caliber in a small package .
At the time I bought it S&W did not make anything like it and I didn't have time for a custom gunsmith to build one ... it's more compact than a cut down 1917 in 45 acp and fills all my needs perfectly .
It's a Sweet big bore belly gun !

IMO, the only "big bore" I would carry daily would be a Charter Arms Bulldog .44 special; not too heavy.[/QUOTE
I occasionally carry my Rossi Model 720, .44 Special.
Never owned a CA so can’t fairly compare but according to specs from the web the CA weighs 20 oz. and the Rossi 30 oz.
I guess one could make the argument that extra 10 oz. during a day of carrying might be a consideration when choosing which one to buy.

Maybe it's just me but I do not consider 40 or 45 as big bore. Those calibers aren't the first to come to my mind and I am sure many others kinds too. I know that "technically. It is, but what usually comes to mind are powerful hunting handgun calibers.

KAHR PM40 with a viridian R5 laser in their Reactor holster...

Cheers!

P.S. Not really a "Big Bore" IMHO, either. Just a "smallest with the mostest", maybe...?

Too nice to carry

At one point in time I carried my 1917 3inch that I purchased when I was a younger(and luckier) man. Then I realized if I used it I would never be able to replace it so it now sits in the safe and a .44 Spec charter arms now has it's place in the EDC rotation. There is also a Shield .40 that has a turn sometimes.

Makes sense, they prefer that your bullet travels through the intended targeted and kills a bystander as well.

big bore carry

Mine is a 50 GI on a glock 20 frame

 

[JJEH]

I do have a .40 M&P as a backup to my 9, but it's not really being used. It's just too good. A true EDC!

 

[URIT]

I wish I could amend my vote. I forgot my nightstand gun, an S&W Governor loaded with .410 double ought and 45Colt. Sweet dreams.

Bulldog on watch

 

[Imissedagain]

There's Big Bore, Big Bore Magnum, Big Bore Super Magnum and .............. Iowa Class.

Since the OP didn't state whether it had to be loaded or not, just carried most often, I voted for the 460 as the little one is carried around the wood shop most everyday.

A stainless Officer in 45ACP is carried most often outside of the local area.

 

[Marshal Tom]

I have several to choose from in that category. Sometimes it's a .357 revolver or a 1911 instead of my most carried Shield 9mm or my M&P340. My bigger bore stuff gets carried when I go up on the Grand Mesa for a walk with the dog.I have decided that I could sell off almost everything and go back to carrying a 1911 for almost everything and be happy.

 

[ISCS Yoda]

I don't regularly carry anything larger than 9mm so I have no dog in this fight

Ditto.

I do still own a CS-45 but I haven't carried it in a long time so I didn't vote.
