what is your primary carry gun

[RNDMEVIL]

99% of the time over the last 12 years it's been my HK USP40. Once in a while I'll carry it's little brother USP40c. If I have to wear a tie and tuck in but no jacket, I have a first generation AMT380 backup in single action that rides on my ankle. I'll probably add my Springfield 1911 to the rotation after I spend some more range time with it.

What works

Sig P239 9mm most days. Almost unbelievable how easy it is to carry and accurately hit with a gun this size. Fast becoming my favorite. Wish I had bought one sooner!

Wintertime sometimes finds me with a Springfield .45 that I built up myself with some Wilson Combat parts and a Videcki trigger. The more I carry a gun, the lighter one I want. The 1911 is going back to being my hiking/backwoods gun until I can get a compact one to customize for concealed carry. Probably something from Springfield or Kimber that I can modify to my tastes.

For fast pocket carry and maximum concealment, I use a S&W model 640 Centennial stainless hammerless, with a Wolff Spring kit and hand polished internal parts. Very fast on target, and surprisingly accurate with the Federal Hydra-Shock ammo. Recoil is not bad, either.

Most of the time my Wilson Professional in a Milt Sparks Versa Max 2 will be found on my hip:


I also carry my XD45 Service as well in a Brommeland Max Con V:


Lately I find myself carrying another gun of different caliber though. My hard chrome Browning Hi Power in 9mm gets a ride in a Wilson Combat IWB holster:

Smith & Wesson CS45 Semiauto

I've been carrying the Smith & Wesson Chief Special in .45 ACP for several years now. It has been an excellent, reliable gun that is very accurate to 25 yards. Out of approximately 2500 rounds I've had one failure to feed and that was with my own reloaded ammo so I blame it on the ammo, not the gun.

I practice with 230grain JHP. When I carry it, I use 230 grain Hornady TAP .45 JHP FPD +P. Yes, it's expensive ammo but it never fails. Money is no object when my life or the life of a loved one or friend depends on it.

I also carry a little Charter Arms .38 Special Snubbie for backup and use Hornady 158 Grain JHP/XTP +P in it.

If these two guns can't get the job done then I doubt it can be done without help from someone else. If I can't stop a threat with 24 rounds (I carry an extra mag for the .45 and a full speed loader for the .38 special) then I doubt it can be stopped.

Pawpaw always told me that if you can't stop them with the first or second shot then you got no business carrying a gun because you don't know how to use it.

If it were not for the weight and the overpenetration, I'd carry my Desert Eagle .50 AE.

[Mastiff]

My primary carry is a Romanian TT-33 modified to fire the 9x23 Winchester, sometimes I also use a Norinco 213 also firing the 9x23, I think this is called a New York reload. I get 357 Magnum power in an semi-auto, whats not to like? Secondary is a Star Modelo Super A, loaded with Corbon Pow'rBall in 9x23 Winchester. Back up I use a CZ-82 in 9x18 Mak. I'm cheap, and the mil-surps get the job done.
