The gun you wish you could carry but,...

[DuckBeav]

Is really more suited for HD and Competiton shooting. My new CZ75BD is such a gun. I am really loving the heck out of it for feel and function and, I can really hit what I'm aiming at! Shot it some more this weekend and it is just fantastic! But it does weigh a good bit like a dump truck. What's your gun you wish you could carry but, stays in the home or sees competition and range time only?

 

[LVSteve]

I'll see your 75BD and raise you a Star Megastar, all 3 lbs of it.



Then there is this fat boy. Tames 45 recoil really well, but CHUNKY.



Then there is my lust for long 9mm pistols. Cannot carry them, either.

 

[Telecaster]

Full size 1911. Heavy, a little bulky.

A BD is my home/garage/yard/woods/hiking/camp gun.

 

[Frailer]

I don’t know if it meets this question’s criteria, as I really don’t have the desire to carry a gun that isn’t small and light enough to fit in a pocket.

That said, if I had to go someplace where I thought I might need a gun and was limited to a handgun, I’d bring this slicked-up CZ SP-01 I purchased from Cajun Gunworks several years ago. In many thousands of rounds it has malfunctioned only once. I was shooting around the left side of a barricade and was inadvertently pressing the ejection port against the wall, literally preventing the empties from exiting.

I don't carry for looks, only performance, reliability, firepower(caliber and capacity) and concealability.

 

[wood714]

One of these would be nice.

My Gold Cup. Yes, I have carried it OWB, but gets a little heavy later in the day.

My Gold Cup. Yes, I have carried it OWB, but gets a little heavy later in the day.

I like those stocks.

 

[Golddollar]

Probably my Taurus PT92. It shoots great but it's probably too big to carry effectively.

 

[SFury79]

There's no gun I own that I can't carry if I put some effort into doing so.

My most impractical gun to carry, outside of in the woods, is my 7.5" Ruger Super Redhawk. My 5" N-frame 357s and the similarly sized G40 are in that category too.

 

[dben002]

full size .45 1911....way to heavy for concealed carry IWB....but that would be the one.
OWB with the proper holster and belt not so much a problem....

 

[YouveHadYour6]

My 1981 E-nickel Colt Python w/6" barrel rarely rides the hip for the day, though it is a delight to shoot.

 

[jasonfreeland]

I'd kind of like to carry my new M&P 2.0 10mm PC, but it's a bit big. A 5.6" barrel is a too much for concealment. I did order a holster for range use, OWB and made of leather.

 

[Puller]

Ever so often I get a hankering to carry my 1911 but I always end up regretting it. I suppose that's why it's rare I carry it.

 

[Navy vet]

I have not tried to carey my M&P 5.7 x 28. It is very thin and light but barrel is long. Shooting is a blast! No recoil, my wife even said it was an easy gun to shoot. The muzzle lift/flip is almost none which makes the second shot very quick and accurate. I picked up a VNSH holster belt. I will see how it works.

 

[jack zeller]

S&W PC Shield with 4 inch barrel in 45 acp. Perfect, powerful and utterly concealable.

 

[Muddyboot]

Glock 21 in 45 acp, unfortunately is big and heavy as a boat anchor. It's also
utilitarian ugly so no worries about beating it up.

 

[glenncal1]

My Tanfoglio Witness .38 Super, great shooting gun with very easy to pick up sights, 18 rounds of .38 Super. Not really sized for CCW.

I carried a Government Model, Gold Cup or Commander off duty quite a bit, but wished I could carry a 1911 type on duty also. Never really thought I'd get the chance. But during my last several years in LE, I did get the opportunity, and carried a lightly modified Government Model, or Gold Cup..
