[woad_yurt]

I'm 51 and carry an old, first generation Charter Arms Off Duty. I just got it recently an am impressed. It's small, light and pretty accurate.

 

[pekosROB]

29, first started with a Glock 23, now it's a 1911 officer/compact 3" barrel. They're slim, it's a .45 ACP cartridge, and I shoot more accurately with her.

Wow I cannot believe the 50+ carrying modern polymer frame guns I thoguht us youngns would carry those kinda guns. I'm 22 and I carry a glock model 32 in the winter and a bersa limited edt. 380 in the summer.

 

[Skribs]

23, carry an XDM 3.8". Going to get the compact soon (they came out with the compact like a month or two after I bought my 3.8").

I just put the numbers into excel, and here's what I see:

For all age groups, polymer pistols are significantly higher than the other two. For 21-49 age groups, steel pistols outnumber revolvers. Old folks prefer revolvers to steel pistols, but polymer is still higher.

So maybe it isn't just my generation that's gotten on the plastic bandwagon.

 

[barnetmill]

At 67 by the end of the month I only carry polymer pistols (mostly glock 19) and also sleep with my AK near at hand. I can still do jump kicks, I am fast, and my punch is not bad. One should never let the thinking get stale. I have used large and medium frame revolvers, and the 1911, but glock 19 for selfdefense beats all of the hands down. As a concession to aging eyes I am trying out a RMR optical sight on a G19. The polymer is lighter and absorbs recoil then steel guns.

 

[FlyboyJS]

I'm 34 and carry an EMP 9mm. Although I'm looking for a backup to that. I'm looking at a Kahr P45

 

[280shooter]

58,, i carry FEG r61,

 

[Dueling1911s]

[hso]

I'm 54 and I may carry either steel or poly depending upon the make/model.

BHP with Commander length upper, Satin Nickel Colt Commander, Para P12 SA OR P3AT

 

[heyjoe]

well us 50 year old guys were 30 or younger when the Glock hit the scene big so its really not surprising that we would use polymer pistols or revolvers as well as steel and aluminum.

 

[2005 Vette]

I'm 54 and I carry either a PX4 subcompact 9mm or a compact XD 40

 

[starfighter66]

I am 48,I purchased a Taurus PT145 for carrying but Like the fit of my Ballester Molina better.
