What cartridge do you carry?

[Cal44]

This poll is asking what cartridge you use in your carry handgun(s).

Hope I didn't leave out any common choices.

 

[Cal44]

Put 44 mag and 44 special under other. I left them out.

 

[SMSgt]

Can only list one cartridge, but I use both 9mm and .45 ACP.

 

[safearm]

.38 Super in a 1911 and .380 in a pocket gun; neither are on the list.

 

[LimaCharlie]

I voted 10mm since I could only vote for one, but I carry 9mm, .357 magnum, 10mm, .45 ACP, and .44 magnum depending on circumstances.

158 gr.LSWCHP +P .38 Special Most times. In a J frame.

Some times a K frame 66 or 686 loaded with .357 HP With the J as a BUG and .38 spare ammo.

The long trips may determine what is taken. I live in the country and the J frame works fine most times.
When 9/11 happened I was in Minneapolis which is a good distance from home . I felt under gunned in this case.

Thanks.

If there is enough interest, I'll redo the poll in a month or two with more choices.

I'll also try to figure out how to allow more than one vote per userid.

Huge oversight on this forum mate! I prefer 9mmP because I can carry a generous amount of spare ammo. I used to carry an N-frame .357 but the weight and bulk of the speed loaders just don't make sense anymore.

 

[ISCS Yoda]

I just answered for the one gun I carry daily, my M642. If I had choices I'd answer for the guns that I sometimes carry also.

As do I depending on circumstance and/or season, plus .38 Special in the B.U.G. I suppose if I had to list only one it would be the 38, because regardless of what else I may have on the belt I always have the 38 in the pocket.

 

[islamoradamark]

how did eastwood put it feeling lucky punk i guess it depends where im going

 

[vigil617]

Because -- to quote someone whose opinion I respect -- "they don't make a .46."

 

[Shorty 45 MK2]

Voted for .45 since that is the chambering of my primary, also carry .38Spl+P in BUG.

 

[vigil617]

Thanks.

Also, be sure to add .356TSW as an option.

If for no other reason, it would be polite here on the S&W Forum.

Super Mario Brothers. Oh, not THAT kind of cartridge.

9 mm

 

[snubbyfan]

.38 special in my 442, everywhere I go.

 

[CatSnipah]

If anyone carries a 454, I'd like to meet you and shake your hand. I'd also like to know how on earth you conceal a firearm built for that load.

Unless you're open carrying, haha.

Carried the Remington .38 Special +P 158 grain LSWCHP in a 640 no-dash for years. Since Remington appears to have watered down the fine old FBI load I'm now carrying Buffalo Bore's standard pressure 158 grain LSWCHP-GC, which is the equivalent of the good Remington stuff ballistically, with low-flash powder and gas-check. So I checked .38 Special +P anyway.

 

[Jim1392]

I carry a 642 with Hornday 110 FTX Critical Defense.

 

[wogentry]

Buffalo Bore Hard cast 150 grain wadcutter- standard pressure. 38 M&P (Pre-Model 10) 1 7/8", or Model 19 and 66 with 2 1/2 inch barrel
