What is your current carry gun?

hanging off of handle bars? WTF :mrgreen:

I have never found any 15 round magazines that work well

however, the Chip McCormick (CMC) 10 round magazines work really well and that is what I use to shoot USPSA Limited 10 and some 1911 Steel division matches with

I think I'll just go with 8 round magazines. They don't stick out of the bottom.

I have a real dark windshield on my road king. I just slip the gun over the lower part of the bars and it rides there perfectly. The only problem is there is nothing brown on the bike, so the grips kind of stick out visually.

I may just look at a couple of those Chip McCormick mags. Thanks for the info!
 
It depends on where I am and what clothing I am wearing. I alternate carry between:

Ruger LCP .380
NA Arms 22 Magnum (B/U-pocket pistol)
Glock 27 .40
And recently I have begun carrying a Kel Tec 30 round .22 Magnum.

I dont anticipate needing it anytime soon and hopefully never, but I have several Glock .40s and several Keltec Sub 2000s that fit nicely in a backpack. I like redundancy and cross compatibility. The Glock mags work with the carbines.

Hey! Ruger makes the best general production revolvers on the market

I'd say they are well made, solid products but there is a reason why the smith dominates competition shooting. The Ruger frames are investment cast. The Smiths are machined. That no longer is a huge difference

Performance center smiths dominate the competition world, but I'm talking a carry/hunting revolver, base level out of the box IMO the Ruger is superior. I own both Rugers and Smiths

for years it was basic smiths with a basic action job-about a 25 dollar effort.
 
Don't carry a gun now as I am not currently living in the states but when I do I carry a Glock 19. I feel like it's a good balance between small enough to be concealable and big enough to be accurate and fast. It's also extremely reliable. As an added bonus it also the same as the pistol the Army gives me so my training at work carries over.

I agree. It's really a pistol that can pretty much do it all
17s not bad either.
We have some 22s and some 35 slides for them at work and I as well as most shooters prefer the 19s.

Have you shot the 43s yet. Haven't talked to anyone who has much trigger time with one yet and was wondering how they are.

yeah the local range a few weeks back had a day where you could shoot four pocket pistols" for free. a SW shield, a SIG 938, and XD of some sort and the GLOCK. I own the first two guns and shot the SIG the best. I shot the GLOCK 5 times and then later I shot another one one of the RO's owns. I think its a pretty good carry piece. I mainly carry a 938 and soon will start carrying a gun I've owned for years but never carried-a Beretta 84. But the Glock 43 is really good
 
I must be one if the few people in Merika that cannot stand Glock. I find them to boxy to comfortably carry and they've always felt awkward in my hand. Even in a shoulder rig I always feel like it's digging into my side. I had a 17(if memory serves me right) years ago. Towards the end of a few hundred round range days it would fail to extract rounds correctly and would slow or studder when cycling. I know the chances of me getting into a prolonged shootout that I fire 500 rounds are almost zero, I still had concerns it wouldn't go bang when it was a life or death situation.

I was so excited when I found a sucker to buy it off me for full retail price on a used gun.

well tell us what you think is their most versatile pistol. The 17 is a big big for CCW. the 26 is not great for range use and the 34 is hard to conceal

I was more stating that their is no such thing as a Best glock since glocks are not good.

Yeah who would want a combat tested and proven pistol that's not only chosen by law enforcement more then any other pistol but also the most commonly used pistol with US Special Operations Forces. The pistol that pretty much set the standard that all modern pistols will be judged by and the one all pistol manufacturers are trying to copy.

I agree they are no good. Lol.

well that might be true from your perspective but I can tell you that the USMS and the FBI are very happy with them. The Glocks were standard issue for people in my DOJ office as well

When I had do some K-9 missions with Spec Ops, never ever saw them carry a glock.

Not sure who you were working with. SF has been using Glocks for quite a while and slowly replacing all their M9s with them I haven't been issued a M9 in almost 7 years. MARSOC is using them. SEALS are now using them. As for the SMUs it's Glocks there as well. Atleast for the one at Bragg.

various departments do.

I own just about anything commonly used by the Military or Police in terms of handguns

GLocks in 9, 40, 10, 45
SIGS in 9, 40, 45
Colts in 9 and 45
CZ in 9
SW in 9, 40, 45
H&K in 9
Beretta in 9 and 40
Browning HP 9 and 40
CANIK (turkish issue) in 9
and I have owned

The French MAB
Bernadelli
Star 30 (Spanish issue)

and while the GLOCK is not my favorite, its certainly as reliable and as easy to shoot as the others.

While you are completely entitled to your opinion I have yet to meet a single fellow SF guy that felt that way. It's also the reason that Glocks are the most commonly used carry gun by all the teammates I have had. Hell the guys at Bragg could have any pistol they wanted as a unit. They carry Glocks.
