CCW gun?

[Springfield Bob]

Right now, as my G17 is down for repairs, I CCW a Springfield Armory M1911A1 .45 ACP cond III. 7+7 rounds of 255gr SWC at 870 FPS.

Hi. What do you use for powder and how many grs.

I have bought your 255 grain bullets at a bowling pin shoot from you.

Thank you.

Bob

Summer M1908 colt in .380, it's 105 years old this year. Winter, Colt M1911 in a shoulder holster. It's 100 years old this year. I shoot both on a regular basis. Looking for an old S&W M36 to carry.

I carry M36 S&W shoot 125 gr. XTP out of it. great little carry gun

I carry everything I own. Even a 7 1/2" SAA in a cross draw holster. My favorite is a Browning HP. Body Guard 380 is the easiest in the summer. My last duty weapon was a 659. It pulls my pants down though. Heavy bugger and when you get old and ugly you also lose your butt. Chief and 637. 4 3/4" SAA. As said by others it depends on weather and clothing and what you are doing. I would guess the Body Guard gets the most carry time just because it is so easy to conceal and doesn't interfere with seat belts.

For the last year or so I've been carrying a CZ Rami in .40. Ammo is HST 180gr.

I've been thinking about switching back to 9mm since I shoot it better. I'm okay with the .40, but the 9 is a breeze to shoot well.

Before the Rami I carried a Ruger LC9, but that ultra narrow grip really does a number on the web of my hand. Even with the Hogue grip sleeve added it literally hurts to shoot, so I rarely even take it to the range now. Guess I should trade it off or something, but they are so cheap now that I may as well hold on to it.

If I do decide to go back to 9mm I will carry the Rami's twin in 9 with 147 gr. HST.
