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

[petepeterson]

Much like the great "reload" controversy, I'd like to hear some examples of self-defense incidents where a CCW -holder fought his/her way to a rifle.

I would like to carry my 1851 Colt 2nd gen .36 engraved or my LeMatt's. I carry a 6" STI Perfect 10 in 10mm in a IWB holster.

My Colt 1911 in 38 Super. But, as others have mentioned about full size, all steel 1911's, too big & heavy for comfortable, all day carry.

At one time it would have been my enhanced gold cup…so accurate and reliable:

But today, and for the last three decades my two Glock 40’s, model 23 and 27, handle all my CC, EDC, and HD situations. Only things non stock are the light gathering night sights…

Tangfoglio TZ 75 great trigger, very accurate. However a little too heavy.

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.

Sheeesh! I hate autocorrect! So I have tried carrying the M&P 5.7 with the VNSH and it is very comfortable, even for a fat guy like myself.

I love this gun. A real tack driver but not suitable for edc. Steel frame M&P9 with comp and lg competition red dot.

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?

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..

Cz Shadow 2. Shoots like a dream, but she’s a chunky monkey to tote.

+1 on the LeMatt. That bad boy’d break ‘em go suck in’ eggs, esp that nice big tube in the middle
