What's your DAO 9mm carry gun?

[MacEntyre]

When I carry 9mm DAO, it's a 9mm Kurz Colt Pony Pocketlite.

Nice call gto36CID, after all, it is a revolver category. I'm stickin' by my 547 though!!! Post a pic so these auto lovers can see what a real 9mm carry looks like (for a revolver category that is). Otherwise, we're just going to have to suggest this thread be moved over to another category

DUH (to me), Sorry guys, I totally missed it, S&W Revolvers: 1980 to the Present, all I was concerned with when I made the thread was the years.

Ron, if you're interested I looking to trade a 3954 in the Classifieds...

Was looking at a S&W 3953 the other day and really like that it's a DAO with no side controlls. But don't like that it has an alloy frame.

What do you carry in a DAO?

I tried the M&P Compact (yeah, I know it is not technically a DAO, it actually being striker fired), but I had light strikes on new factory ammo. So, I went back to other brands: For pocket, Ruger LC9, a little bigger, Glock 19 or HK P2000 LEM.

M&P has had too many issues with light strikes and mags jumping out of the pistol and other problems. Too bad as I really wanted to like that model series.

The 3953 is a great and reliable pistol, but as it is out of production, I am not inclined to use it for carry.

Got to be 547 M&P. Sweet shooter.

Kel-Tec PF-9 on my person, Kel-Tec P11 in my car.

 

[seabeesbob]

I have a CWP and I carry everday and everwhere a KecTec P-11

Excellent! Now that's a real 9mm DAO (for the revolver category anyway). What's your favorite load?

Prefer 147 gr in a revovler, no worries about bullet shape or feeding. Going to try out some Remington Golden Sabre soon actually.

Actually, glad you did it. There's a lot of interest in 9mm revolvers and I'm keep trying to keep it alive. If the auto crowd and the revolver crowd can come together maybe S&W will bring back 547s and 940s or something similar. By the way Whodat, nice 547!

I had a 3954 years ago and loved it. It was flat, slick, good trigger and 100% reliable. I stupidly traded it off and have regretted it ever since.

Been carring a LCP but picking up a S&W 442 today!

 

[David Sinko]

My favorite 9mm carry gun is a 940 too. In fact it's the only 9mm I own. It will shoot a 147 gr. bullet at 1080 FPS from its 2" barrel, which is as good as it gets for this bore size.

DAO's

The 9mm DAO would be this 6946.

DAO Revolvers (since 'tis the revolver section) would be one of these...usually the Ruger next up the 642-1

or when I occasionally feel like retro-man the .38 S&W

I just got the Diamondback DB9. It weighs 13oz and is easy to carry.
