[Uber Rifleman]

Please God, not this again...........

It's a poll...not a discussion and not an argument.

 

[Sling Blade]

.44 Special.

 

[Liberty97045]

Which one?

I have a Keltec .380 when I need small

Me too. The best gun for self defense is the one you have with you.

I have been a CC since 1976 and have carried big, small, tiny and in between.

The KelTek P3AT with a pocket clip is my go to, easy to carry, don't have to dress for it, carry gun.

Home defense, Glock 17C with M6 laser illuminator (the ultimate in target acquisition and identification)

 

[NWGlockgal]

For CC, 9mm ( Critical Defense/Duty) for either a Glock 19 or a Shield. I'll add .45acp once I buy a G30sf.

For home defense, .45acp for my Glock 21sf that my husband keeps on his bedside table,
and 9mm (CD again) on my side for my G19.

 

[Sgt Nambu]

.380, .38spl, .45APC

 

[Bon Sauvage]

.577 Tyrannosaur

 

[Uber Rifleman]

.577 Tyrannosaur

Yeah...sure. Haha!

 

[Caveman Jim]

40 S&W in the XDM & then 5.56x45 in the Bushmaster piston PDW!!!

 

[chemist]

!2 ga. at home; .45 ACP on the road. With those big ole rounds, the particulars of the load don't matter so much.

 

[Cuthbert Allgood]

Which caliber do you trust your life to if you were to need to defend yourself? In other words, what caliber is your CCW?

Depending on my mood, I go with 357 SIG, 45, or 40.

 

[The Courier]

357 sig, its never failed me. except that one time...

 

[Squidly]

9mm pocket pistol for summer, .40 pocket pistol for winter, .45 owb with heavy jacket, All Hornady critical defense or critical duty ammo. When hunting, .44 mag with full magnum hand loads.

 

[Hawaiian]

.45 on the belt, 9mm in the pocket. HK45c and Kahr pm9. With todays modern ammo, 9mm, 40, or 45 is fine. IMHO.

 

[rick benjamin]

G26, G27, G36
9mm, 40sw, .45ACP

 

[locobob]

Carry: Glock 23 in .40 or a Ruger SP101 .357mag if I need something that hides well.

Home: Glock 20 in 10mm with rail mounted light.

Kinda interested in getting a 9mm pocket gun for really low profile carry situations.

 

[Hook686]

.357 magnum, .44 magnum, 9mm depending upon the circumstances.

 

[DeanfromOregon]

.45 acp. 230g jhp not +P.

 

[ejmpnu92]
