Carrying Concealed

[bobgeorge]

Springfield Armory makes some pretty decent firearms. My buddies and I swap them around at the range, and those handguns are always the ones that everyone wants to try.
They shoot accurately, and are comfortable to carry!
I'm not the biggest fan of the 9mm. Ins a home defense situation; you'd better make sure that you've got it stuffed full of the right ammo... Over-penetration can be a problem... Ideally; you want the projectile to stay inside it's intended target...

Bob...can't you use 9mm like the below for home defense?

When it comes to the 9mm offerings; I've always looked for a projectile that'll expand reliably, and dump all of it's energy into the intended target...
Since I "brew my own bullets"; I can tailor my loads to do what I want them to...
Truthfully; I'm far more a fan of the .45 ACP...
Fat and Slow; works just fine!

I keep a 9mm close by at home. Loaded with Liberty Home Defense 9mm+P. I carry a Bersa Thunder Ultra Compact .40 loaded with Federal HST S&W 165 grain hollow point. My drop gun is a Taurus PT22. My wife just got her CCW. Will probably get her a S&W 442. She has problems racking the slide on an auto so the 442 will be fine for her.

[Bob Denman]

Those Taurus PT 22s might work well for her; the tip-up barrel makes loading a breeze!
(Just don't EVER dry-fire it; not unless you've already got a spare firing pin in your pocket! )

Bob, I've got a Taurus PLY-22, if I use ammo hot enough to cycle the slide, it breaks, I'm looking at a Beretta Bobcat, in .22.

I would take that gun and break it up before it explodes in your hand.

The Missus carries a Minx, in .22 Short... She has never felt under-gunned, because she's confident in her abilities to put all of those rounds where they most need to be put...

Beretta Tomcat in the inside pocket!

I open carry when I ride with my Kimber or Para full size .45 ACP. I like to shoot quarters at folks if need be versus a nickle or dime.

I was just given my first 9mm for a retirement gift from my unit after 23 years in the Army. I was talking about getting into 3 gun so they picked this out for me. I havent had a chance to shoot it, but cant wait.

I am an, XDM fan. I owb my 5.25, 9mm. I am looking for a good shoulder holster. Sons and I shoot often. Where I live I can shoot out my back yard. I like to shoot at the range also. I tried a Canik, Shark the other day. I was really impressed with that pistol.
