Ruger lc9 is a nice little 9mm unless you had rather have a 380. Or get a 22 for varmets and something else bigger to conceal carry on the bike when your out riding I carry a sccy 2 all the time when we're out. Best thing to do is go to some gun shops and look and try out a few different guns

Anybody shoot the Taurus Judge?

Yes I have. Nice gun just get a good grip and pull the trigger and hold on.

Join the GSSF for two years. You will get the membership card along with a buy program card. Then go to a Blue Label Dealer and purchase the Glock 42 in .380 for $340 plus sales tax. Buy some of the 100 grain .380 ammo from Freedom Munitions. The 95 grain ammo didn’t shoot well in this Glock like it did in my Sig P232. Fobus makes a nice holster for that pistol.

This is the setup I have been carrying for a couple of years. Also being a GSSF Member you can shoot in the Glock matches held all over the country. You will have a 1:4 chance of winning something either by placing or random drawing. Per random drawing, I’m currently waiting for my forth Glock I have won to arrive at my FFL dealer. I like the free Glocks!

Hope this info helps?

Looking for a handgun cheap to shoot easy to clean take in the woods small game
but also conceal for my spyder trips.

Any sugestions
Thanks in advance

Agree with others, 9m is going to too big for small game and is a little light for self defense (although would work). For small game, accurate, I like the new Ruger mark IV 22cal. REAL easy to tear down for cleaning and there are a lot of different models to choose from.

CC is like RV's, they are all too big when you're driving (carrying) and too small when parked (using). I started with a Kel Tec 380, then a Sig P238, then a Sig P938 and now a Kimber Solo, when I want loud and big flames I take out my 5 1/2" Freedom Arms 454 Casull, used it to take many Whitetail deer.

a friend of my father's had to shoot an intruder to his shop many years ago and he used a 22, the police told him to "get a bigger gun". Personally, I carry a bodyguard 380 but I also have a Glock 27 to carry sometimes. Neither I would consider using for small game. Chris

It's clear that home defense is an entirely different game...

I prefer a 12 gauge pump, with an 18" barrel. The sound of that action, as a round is being chambered... AWESOME!!

[kep-up]

How about the sound of an antique cap & ball colt? Right beside the ear of the bad guy? Pull that hammer back...clic, ety, click, click. Bad guy knows something's gonna happen that ain't good. Friggin' frightening!

[Bob Denman]

Yup! Everything happens slowly... and in a very serious way!

Ruger 327 sp101 federal magnum 4.2 inch barrel

I used to shoot a Replica Remington .44 cap and ball. It was quite the firecracker at night. A lot of fun to shoot but a pia to clean after.

Don't forget to look at North American Arms.
Some easily concealed weapons.
The 22 magnum is better round than a 25 and a 32, in my opinion.

The only problems with the .22 mag: the cost of the ammo, and a whole lot more muzzle flash!

I currently have a S&W Shield PC 9mm that I use for CCW, just a little big for the summer wearing shorts IMO. And was looking at the Sig 938 for summer CCW. How is it, have you had any issues? Is it picky with ammo?

If you had to it all over again, do you prefer the P938 or the Solo, if you had to choose only 1?

Concealed Carry?

take a look at them
a couple are combined 22 long rifle and 22 mag-swap out the cylinders, practice with 22 LR and protect with 22mag.
Plus, the barrels are ported to help with the flash.
They are close range weapons-although mine had a Crimson Trace laser-still less than 20 feet for best results.

[Bob Denman]

We owned a Ruger Single-Six, that had two cylinders.
When loaded with .22 MAG ammo: it should great!
But the .22 L.R. ammo shot horribly!
I wonder if it was because the barrel had a larger bore diameter, for the magnum ammo?
(,224, versus .223)

For home defense looks like it would get the job done

Absolutely!

[Mad Mac]

S&W M&P shield in 9mm. Perfect for Spyder carry.

[Machinegunner]

Bob, I thought 22LR bore is .221 and 22 mag. is .224. There definitely is an accuracy problem between the two cartridges.

[Bob Denman]

I always had them pegged at .223, and .224: a small, yet significant difference.

You might want to look into the Walther PPk or the Beretta Tomcat. Easy to conceal, a little heavier than some, but easy on the recoil.
