CC little guys - you have to choose one

[breakingbad]

OK, you have to go to Phoenix, Az in August for a month. It is 110 degrees in the shade. You are staying at your cousins house and they have the following to loan you for CC. Consider how you will be dressing. Choose one and why.

S&W 351 PD - 7 shot .22 magnum J frame
Kahr P380 - 6 shot .380 acp
NAA 1 5/8" barrel 22 magnum - 5 shot
Bowie knife - 9 inch blade
taser
rock
pepper spray
other


I'm going with the 351 PD bec I'm in shorts, t shirt, hat, sandals and that's it. Hey, life's unfair and these are your only choices. At least you have "other".

Went with the Kahr .380 just because of caliber. J frame would have been my "other " choice if something in a little larger caliber.

 

[Ransom]

I'll take the Kahr. Seven rounds, bigger bullets, less bulk! But that 351PD would be pretty fun to shoot.

 

[snubbyfan]

I hafta say other, I'd just tuck my J frame in my pocket.

 

[mg357]

S&W 351 PD is my choice

 

[Old cop]

Since a .38 J frame is the same size as the .22 mag J frame why not go w/a .38?

 

[Poodle Soup]

Rock, go someplace where there are many rocks and you will not stand out... or run out of ammo.

 

[breakingbad]

Since a .38 J frame is the same size as the .22 mag J frame why not go w/a .38?

Because your cousin doesn't have one.

 

[luangtom]

I, too, went with the .380 due to caliber. Were the J-frame in .38-spl, I would have opted for that one.

 

[mtheo]

I am a much better shot w/ my 351PD than my P3AT...so I assume I would not be any better with the Kahr.

The 9" bowie would be a lot easier on my ears.

 

[feralmerril]

I will just take theresa. She will whup anyone that bothers me.

 

[FishyOne]

If your J frame was 38sp, I would have picked it quickly.

As is, my vote went to the Kahr P380 - 6 shot .380 acp

 

[bp231986]

Other, S&W 500

 

[Fishinfool]

This little guy. Its an old Freedom Arms 4 shot mini revolver in .22 Mag. Similar to the NAA Mini. I used to carry this as a hide out weapon back when I was a road trooper. It, carried in my shirt pocket, along with a Walther .380 in my boot, and a S&W 586 on my hip made for a comforting feeling. I always figured if I had to use that little firecracker, even if it didn't stop the bad guy, he would be easily identified by the powder burns on his face...

I picked - OTHER. I will not carry less than a .38 Special +P. My M60-7 IMHO is the perfect carry piece.

[bluegrassrules]

Went with the Khar because it is a .380...
cheers

Small Guns in Micro Calibers? Been to South Phoenix lately? I'd want a bigger gun than anything on your list.

 

[Bullzaye]

I live in Phoenix, and I carry my Glock 19/23/32 all summer long, and I'm in shorts 98% of the time. In fact, some days I carry my Glock 20. Not that difficult with a decent holster & belt.

Therefore, I voted "other".

Since most folks can't run in sandals, much less move sideways, the first issue should be getting more appropriate footwear.

Barring that, pick something with rounded edges that won't hurt much when they remove it at the ER.

The 351PD is likely the most effective of that lot.


Regards,

Pat

Pick "OTHER"

For GOOD Running Shoes.

Hit 911 on cell.

 

[Arik]

OTHER.

I dont carry anything less the a 9mm. Im in Philly and during summer it get hot and humid here too, very humid. We're talking 95 degree day with 99% humidity. At times it gets like a sauna outside. I wear jeans, sneakers, tank-top and a t-shirt over it. IWB Glock 19/17, HK USP9, or M&P. The way I see it is 99% of my day is spent in air conditioned places. I wake up, home = AC. I go somewhere, car = AC. I get there, still AC. Sometimes Im outside but its still not a big deal. Its a little hot but Im not soaking wet or anything.

 

[Kanewpadle]

Rather have a j frame but I would take the Kahr and tell my cousin he's good for nothing.

 

[ImprovedModel56Fan]

breakingbad,

I would have made the same choice that you did, unless I could fire a couple of magfulls from the .380 and found that it worked and shot to POA. If that were the case, I'd take the flat .380 over the round .22 MRF.

[RussellD]

I live in the humid south for now. In the summer I carry a J frame airweight or a model 649 in a pocket holster every where I go. I prefer a j frame to any .380 and I can shoot my j frames very well.

As it turns colder I can move up to a K frame or my Glock 19..but when it comes to one gun i can carry everywhere ..in shorts or jeans and polo shirt....the air weight j frame is hard to beat. That comes after a lot of years and lot more guns..YMMV

 

[mesinge2]

I voted Kahr P380, due to the caliber even though the smallest caliber I carry is 9mm or 38 SPL.

However, the rock was tempting

 

[mc5aw]

If I can carry a J-frame, it's going to be a J-frame in a caliber starting with "3" not "2" ...

 

[Rufus]

Sig P238 and Kahr MK40

 

[627 city hunter]

XD-s .45

or HK p2000 . 40, if i can wear loose clothing or a jacket.

 

[madmikeb]

I picked other. I spend time in Tucson and Cochise county every year and my take along firearm is my Glock 27 .40 in a Kramer IWB #2. Conceals very well under my usual dress of shorts and Hawaiian shirts, and I have 9 rounds of .40 at my disposal plus an extra mag with another 9 rounds. also, if the airline "loses" by baggage, I'm only out a Glock!

 

[breakingbad]

I, too, went with the .380 due to caliber. Were the J-frame in .38-spl, I would have opted for that one.

I didn't include the Jframe 38/357 bec that is the no-brainer and is the normal discussion. I wanted harder choices to make.
