So what caliber does everyone CCW on NES?

[Hanwei]

Yeah... sorry about the grouping of calibers in some of the poll choices... but I only had 10 poll choices to play with... So... had to do it. I mean... I couldn't even put 44 Magnum as a choice.

Go easy on me

 

[Cross-X]

Two votes for the .500 -- one is obvious, but who is the other...

My guess is Chris and EddyCoyle.

9mm for my M&P9c, or .45ACP for my SW1911. This time of year I carry the M&P more. I have on a couple of occasions carried my Walther p22, but that was before I had the M&P, and couldn't find the right holster for my Kahr K9.

 

[Martlet]

My primary carry is either a Sig P220 or 5" 1911

 

[drgrant]

Am I the only person to select like 5 different calibers at once?

Usually most of the time I'm carrying a .40 S+W.... HK P2000... but I still carry a bunch of others
from time to time.

[joehaus]

My magtech solid copper .45 in my Sig(under my coat) thats always the choice but in the warmer months my Buffalo Bore 357mag supper hot hollow points in my model 60 chief.

 

[Executive]

Summer carry is the 6906 or 4013TSW which are almost identical in size. I guess it just depends on what caliber I feel like at the time and if I want to carry 13+1 in 9mm or 9+1 in .40. I'm thinking of trying a J-frame M&P in .357 for summer...

Winter is either the 229 in .40 or the 1911PD.

Interesting, if you combined the .38 caliber with .357 magnum like I think of it, you have 40% of the vote and close to a three way split on the poll.

Yeah, you probably are.

I only chose 4 different calibers. I don't carry them all at the same time, however.

 

[In_God_We_Trust]

Two votes for the .500 -- one is obvious, but who is the other...

 

[Snapshot]

357Sig mostly with the occasional 40 and very rarely 9mm

 

[Cross-X]

My most frequent carry round is .38 Special in a S&W snubbie 442, 9mm in an M&P, or .45 ACP in my mighty S&W 1911.

 

[delgrifith]

9mm or .40 I carry Speer Gold dots in both. With the 9mm I use a heavier grain.

 

[EddieCoyle]

Two votes for the .500 -- one is obvious, but who is the other...

My guess is Chris and EddyCoyle.

Nope. I've never carried a .500 or .460 and never will unless I'm in brown bear country.

I voted for 10mm, .38 Special, and .45 ACP.

 

[jairadio]

For carry, I stick with the PUSSY round always, .38 Special.

 

[RB26]

Usually a Glock 27 (40 cal) or S&W 637 (38 cal)

 

[Jose]

To those of you that carry a .380 or 9mm, what do you carry, and what do you think of it?

When I carry my S&W 915 or M&P9c I stuff them with 124 grain Speer Gold Dots. Works for NYPD, works for me.

 

[Jose]

For carry, I stick with the PUSSY round always, .38 Special.

Lots of people have assumed room temperature courtesy of the
.38 Smith & Wesson Special.

 

[Lucas McCain]

To those of you that carry a .380 or 9mm, what do you carry, and what do you think of it?

A Walther PPK/S with Crimson Trace Lasergrips in my IWB holster. Never needed more!

 

[Bruce for NH State Rep]

OK, I'll add my two cents (only because I like posting pics of my LCP).

.380 Auto if I'm not wearing a jacket.
.45 ACP when I can cover it up.

OK Bruce, that's the first of your "Free in New Hampshire" gun's that really makes me jealous.

100% to that statement. Very proven round the old .38 special is.

 

[MagnumAl]

380, 9mm, and 45. Also, 44 special when I am feeling old school. I carry them, b/c I can shoot them, and hit what I am shooting at; and I am comfortable with them.

 

[Jose]

44 special when I am feeling old school.

+1

 

[EddieCoyle]

Is that a Model 24?

 

[NH40VE]

To those of you that carry a .380 or 9mm, what do you carry, and what do you think of it?

Beretta 92D Centurion in a galco matrix OWB holster..also it's filled with 9mm 147gr Hydra-shok jacketed H.P.

Yup, I had that argument with my late Chief. I was telling him that our .38SP revolvers were inadequate for the job . . . then he pulls out some case photos of a Boston PO and his Wife . . . murder/suicide with his service revolver . . . to make his point! True enough, the pictures were worth a 1000 words each . . . end of my argument.

 

[Yelena]

If I'll have a permit to carry, I'll choose my 9mm Makarov. Small and functional...

 

[MagnumAl]

That is a SWEET 44. I just have a charter bulldog Shoots great, but its as ugly as its name!

 

[Hanwei]

I'm curious: Why is the .38 Special so powerful?

It's not that the .38 Special is so powerful... as much as it's simply not "underpowered" or "insufficient" in doing it's job like many like to claim (while they scratch their balls with one hand, hold their beer in the other... and belch ).

It's just a continuation of the caliber war. .45 vs 9mm vs .40 vs .38 vs .357... etc.

These guys are just saying that the .38 Special round is more than adequate for the job... and there are plenty of bodies in cemeteries with .38 size holes to prove it.

Same goes for 9mm (another caliber people like to pick on and subsequently ignore it's long long history of putting people into the ground with 9mm sized holes).
