Talk Major...carry minor.. if you carry at all

[growr]

I cannot get over the number of friends and colleagues that tell me that the only gun that they would carry is a 45 and yet when I ask to see it they usually tell me that it is at home or something other than ON them.
So it becomes a case of "Talk Major...carry minor.. if at all" I don't get it. The last time this conversation came up I had my S&W model 36 .38 SPL in my front pocket and was chided for carrying a pimp gun...My reply was a question..."And what is it that you are carrying right now?" Well, he replied, I carry a .45, but it is in the vault right now"
At least I have something...you my friend are screwed. Talk Major...my .38 on me is still better than your 1911 in your vault."

What's the old saying? If I was EXPECTING trouble I'd be carrying my shotgun.

 

[Bailey Boat]

Those people will always be around, a 45 caliber mouth and a 22 caliber azz........

 

[Evil One]

.45 acp 1911 IWB and .44 snubby in my pocket right now.
The least I carry is my .44 snubby.

There are at least some of us who do carry a .45 everyday. I would venture to guess that there are many who do. When I am not carrying that, it's the .357 640-1 that's in my pocket as we speak.....er.... type.


I prefer a .45 over anything else in general, but it's not always practical. I do not feel undergunned with the .357. Having said that, I would never belittle anyone for carrying whatever they felt comfortable carrying. I have my preferences, and others have theirs.

I like a 696 in a cut up leather holster in my pocket. It is sort of big, so am I, and I wear loose fitting pants.
I took a Galco belt holster and got a knife and cut off every part of it that was not needed to protect the hammer and trigger. Made a pocket holster that fits a 696.

45 most of the time...38 the rest ...never without the tools to save my rear...even better armed at home...
38 in hand beats anything at home..

Its a case of suite yourself. Truth is I seldom carry anymore. I am retired in a safe area, do have a permit where I can carry anytime. I carried on my job for 35 years and am a "afficiado". Yet, I got over the novelity almost 35 years ago. I have been a "profiler" all my life and I have a good nose as when and where to carry. Bettcha I hear back on that one! I have just about every gun type in the safe, save a 9mm anymore. Snubs, belt guns in most calibers etc. When I do carry its on trips, and always in the boonies as I do a lot of exploring on our atv. I seldom pack around our small town. If I do its a old model 40. Remember, I am retired and no longer work in the big citys.
I no longer carry "Just because I can". Now if I smelled real trouble,
A. I wouldnt be there
B. If no way out I would have a shotgun or a rifle with my .45 1911 as a backup.
Basicly I am into light. My s&w .38 model 60 for the pocket,
and either my 357 3" 66-3 or 24-3 4" on the quad.

 

[USAF385]

I only carry a .460 or a 500 Mag

..... er no. Actually 55% of the time its a 642, 40% of the time its one of my compact .40s, the other 5%.. varies.

 

[GoGators]

I have a bob-tailed 1911 commander that I absolutely love. But when I am walking out the door, 99% of the time I shove a little Ruger LCP in my pocket instead.

 

[Spotteddog]

What Buff said.
Least is a 342PD in a pocket.

 

[afriqueart]

Chiefs special.

 

[dd698]

East German 9x18 Mak or Sig P239 40 Cal. both in Hume or Kramer belt holsters

 

[tripledipper]

Take turns with a 642, 36 or a Cobra. Once in a while a 34. Don't CC any of my 4".

 

[sparky9]

I'm with you, Growr. I usually always carry my 36.
I had a guy call it a Saturday night special one time. It just confirmed what I already knew about him.

I carry whatever's appropriate to the situation. Most of the time that's a full sized semi-auto or revolver, no smaller in caliber than 9x19mm. I frequently carry a .45acp M1911. When I have to frequently disarm, I carry a 2" Model 36 in a pocket holster.

No matter WHAT I carry, I carry wherever it's legal to do so.

 

[BarbC]

I like to carry my M&P45C in an IWB, my usual mode of carry.

What have I been carrying since Thanksgiving? The KelTec P3AT.

No more ice cream, no more pie...

Packing for 8 or 9 hours at a time-summer and winter-My wife uses a M36 snub and I carry M1903/08 (38/32/380)
