If limited to 10 rounds, what do you carry?

[hammy5150]

I live in CA so I'm limited to 10 rounds spread across all the major calibers. A .45 USP sits on my nightstand for home defense, and for CCW I carry a .40 P229, a 9mm P2000SK and occasionally, a 9mm 6906. If/when the magazine bans go away this lineup is unlikely to change, I'd just get standard cap magazines for what I already have. For what's personally the most effective gun for me it'd be my 5906TSW, but between it being heavy, discontinued, and the reliability issues I've had with this specific one it's relegated to being a range toy. In a world where the 3rd Gens were still being made and were available in my state I'd have a 4006TSW for home defense and a 3913TSW for CC, and a 5903TSW in colder weather.

I would say JHPs, when limited capacity.

I have 2 revolvers to select from, they are both 45's. One is a governor with a pouch for an additional 6 round, used mostly when on the recumbent trike, loaded currently with 45 ACP's. The other is a 460V in a black momba holster with a gun belt containing 25 rounds all with FTX bullets. The 45LC have almost no recoil, so far only carry back and forth to the range.

If I were limited to a 10 round capacity magazine I would just carry an extra magazine loaded with another 10 rounds.

If I were limited to a 10 round capacity magazine? I'd carry a 30 round drum, I just don't follow rules very well.

 

[SuperMan]

..same thing I've been carrying daily for now 40 years...Colt Commander in .38 Super...9 in the mag and 1 in the pipe... 32 oz. loaded and ready to go...

It isn't how many rounds are in your magazine...it what's between your ears that count in a gunfight...training, tactics, mindset....

#1..1952...carried daily from 1980 to 2007..

WOW!! That's impressive consistency.

 

[Ranger514]

No round capacity restrictions in Montana, but I normally carry S&W revolvers, or 8 + 1 single stack semi autos, regardless. Carry extra reloads, and youre set.

 

[sotexas]

What I carry now, which is some type of a semi auto holding a range of 6+1 to 15+1...My primary carries are a Hellcat/Shield with a whole bunch of occasional carries. My new Shield plus will be the primary carry in a few weeks after some shooting and performance check. I might add I really like my 4" EMP CCC which would allow me to bang 10.

 

[Muss Muggins]

Lately, I've gone back and forth between the 340PD, the Glock 26, and the Sig Sauer 1911 Scorpion Carry, depending on what I'm wearing . . .

 

[YkcorCal]

Yes, Muss Muggins, I own the gun below. The pics below are form when I bought the gun off Guns International .com including all the gear that came with it. The price was not much above what many Local Gun Stores where charging for the stock gun for the whole "kit and caboodle" so I was just at the right place at the right time to find this deal of a lifetime.

It is my bedside gun and as I have said many times elsewhere on this forum my pride and joy.

All my M&Ps now have 2 10 round mags so I would not be limited in choice.

S&W EZ9 with 2 extra magazines.

 

[BourbonCowboy]

If I had to deal with a 10-round limit on my EDC pistol, I'd still carry the same one: HK VP9SK. I'd just swap out the 13-round mags (that I usually carry) or 15-round mags (that I use for practice) for the 10-round mags. No problem.

Otherwise, I'd just carry my Charter Arms SouthPaw.

What gun to carry if restricted to 10 rounds

My Sig 229 ( .357Sig) came with 2 10 round magazines. or my Colt Officer 1911 .45

 

[Endshake]

We have no capacity restrictions. Don't even need a carry permit.
In over 30 years of carrying a handgun, I still choose some form of 1911. Either Commander or full size.
I carry a 4" model 66, or a 2.5' model 19 on occasion.
Also carry a Glock 19, but mostly during hotter weather.
I just don't put a lot of value on high round count. I'm not saying it is of no value, I just value other things more.

 

[sousana]

EDC on the street is always my trusted 1911, has been my EDC concealed carry since the 80s. But, on my 300 acres in NM, It's usually a Freedom Arms 454 or one of my Alaskan 454's mated to a lever action 454

 

[Moe Mentum]

In my state we can carry whatever we want. I carry a Ruger LCP or a Ruger LC9 because it's small and light. If I ever feel the need to carry more rounds, I will just carry an extra mag.

 

[crstrode]

Two J-frames.

 

[C Islander]

What I always carry. A 1911.

 

[Waxster60]

Since the restriction is 10 rounds, I would go with a Glock 30 .45ACP and 10 round mag

 

[CH4]

Since the restriction is 10 rounds, I would go with a Glock 30 .45ACP and 10 round mag

Good call
Glock 29 here

 

[noyo55]

Berretta 9000S, 40 cal plus two extra magazines plus lots of practice.

 

[EMS6260]

I will stick with my Model 10's and 36's worked thus far, and under 10 rounds.

 

[delcrossv]

I'm going to respectfully disagree.

Many say: if you are limited to 10, make them more powerful than if you could carry 17; the additional "stopping power " compensates for fewer shots.

No. I and everybody else shoots 9 faster and more accurately than 40 or 45, whether they know it or not. 9, 40 and 45 all do the same thing to the bad guy. Who wins, gets a slug or slugs in the right spot. So if you shoot 9 best (and you do), use 9 no matter what capacity you're forced to have.

??? Actually, from a shot placement perspective, I shoot X frames best. So I guess I should be cc'ing the 460V?

E.g. @50'+ 4 in the bod, 1 in the noggin.

 

[Eddie Southgate]

Cold weather with a heavy jacket it'll be a . 45 or .44 special . The rest of the year it's a J frame .38 in the pocket or on the belt with a couple of strips in the left front pocket . Tennessee is going Constitutional carry as of the first of June with concealed or open carry so the big guns will probably get more play than in the past.

Sounds like a load of **** to me . I am no faster or accurate with a 9mm than I am with anything else I shoot . Have shot both in IDPA and personally cant see a measurable difference .I guess if you cant handle a big caliber you probably would be better off with a 9mm but that's never been an issue for me .

 

[S-W4EVER]

Two J-Frames as usual.

+1. Nailed it (for me). My 442-2 and my 340PD. Just feels right...

 

[Spats McGee]

The only thing I've ever carried that held >10 rounds was a Glock 19 that I no longer own. I've carried a Shield 9mm for several years, so I'd either stick with that, or move to my Shield 45. Either way, it'd be 7 or 8 round magazines with a couple of spare mags on my belt.

 

[challer61]

P227, P225, or P365.
