So what caliber does everyone CCW on NES?

[Hanwei]

This is just an offshoot of the "what's the most common gun owned on NES" thread...

and I thought it'd be interesting to see what the most common caliber ccw'd on NES was...

 

[Pilgrim]

 

[sdavid]

.38, .45 ACP, and .44 Mag

 

[Jamie]

9mm currently, until I get a 1911.

 

[fubar]

.380 , .38, 9mm , .45acp. But not usually at the same time.

 

[bggsp]

.357 mag...federal Hydra-Shok in my S & W 340PD.

 

[TY43215]

Big difference between 357SIG and 357MAG although I use both. I would not put a vote in the 38spl because I would never even think of carrying 380

 

[Palladin]

.38Special & .40S&W Both Double Tap

 

[Raoul Duke]

.40 Hydrashock
.357 (different barrel/same gun) when I'm feeling, giggety giggety giggety.

 

[MikeH]

.40 & 357mag

 

[BOBKATT]

50 BMG

 

[Geoff C]

 

[P-14]

Even the backup is a .45 ACP. Instead of a 5-shot .38 special, I carry 5+1 .45 ACP that is no larger than a Walther PPK.

Size matters.

[drumenigma]

None

<-------- restricted license.

What's the recoil like on the small .45 Bob? I have a Para Carry 12 in .45 and that's manageble, but since the hammer snapped in half at the range, I'd never trust it as a CCW

 

[2000GM]

9mm but not specifically by choice...it just so happens that my Sig P228 only came in 9mm. I've had a P229 in .40 but I just shoot the P228 better than any other pistol I've owned. It seems to balance a lot better than the P229. It's my "little buddy" and nothing else had been able to de-throne it as my daily CCW as of yet.

 

[Mr Weebles]

.40 and 9mm.

 

[doobie]

.380 , .38, 9mm , .45acp. But not usually at the same time.

I like your use of usually.

 

[Mike-Mike]

.38 +p / .40

 

[nanerclip]

Any of the following...
.38/.357, 9mm, or 45 ACP.

 

[matt1956]

well... i put .357... because when my restricted license is no longer restricted... that is going to be my carry gun.

Steve: Mine is no longer in production, but I love it - AMT .45 Backup. I use 185 gr. Remington Golden Sabers and find it very controlable. Double taps to 21 feet are 5-8" groups. 230 gr. is much harder to control so I don't even try. I carry the 185 gr. RGSs in all my carry 45s and it just keeps it simple.

Regards,

Bob

 

[JRyan]

.40 and 9mm

I shoot 9mm better though, which I think is important.

 

[clinotus]

.40 Hydrashock
.357 (different barrel/same gun) when I'm feeling, giggety giggety giggety.

Same here but with the occasional 45 for when things are Allllllllll Riiight.

 

[meth0d]

.40 in a Glock 22
.357 mag in a SP-101, on rare occasion

 

[Raoul Duke]

Well said!

 

[wolf223]

9mm or .45 Auto

 

[tele_mark]

Mostly .357 Magnum in my M&P 340,and sometimes I carry a 1911 if I'm going into Fitchburg or something.

 

[Beansie_Time]

Other. 9x18 Makarov

Agree 100%

The 38 Special needs to be grouped with 9x19. In its premium loadings the 38 Special is every bit as powerful as the Luger cartridge.

For the record I voted 357 Sig/357 Magnum and I also agree that the 357 Sig is a far cry from the real deal. My 357 load of choice is Remington's 158 grain SJHP. If I carried an L or N frame, it would be Remington's 125 grain SJHP, but its recoil is a bit much in a K frame.
