Free Republic Gun Club-Friday- What are you packing today?

[Pistolshot]

What are you packing today? Let's see them.

Today, I am carrying a Kahr PM9 in 9mm in a Galco Summer Special with a 6 round reload.

This set up is light, wholly concealable and easy to wear all day. The caliber is more than adequate for defensive purposes. Using the 124 gr Hyda-Shoks it is accurate and reliable.

Carrying my sig 230 with .380 Ranger(SXT) hollow points.

Sorry no pics..:(

[Eaker]

Glock 27.

For when one doesn’t have patience for a “chrome plated sissy pistol”!

[AlaskaErik]

Just my usual rig...Glock 23 in a Rocketman holster with one spare mag. 26 rounds total unbid.

[AlaskaErik]

onboard, not unbid

[Concho]

Titanium plated STI 1911 in Don Hume IWB holster stuffed full of my personal .45 handloads.

[Mariner]

Is that pistol DAO?

If so, not to my taste:)

I tend toward the Sig P232...it's only .380, but dealy accurate and weighs only about 14oz empty.

Glock 17 in a Fobus paddle holster.

I'm anxiously awaiting the return of my Sig P220 Equinox. It's on the UPS truck for delivery and I have an appointment this afternoon. . . hopefully it all works out.

It's coming back from the Sig custom shop where I had the SRT installed and a trigger action job performed.

Of course, I can't carry since I live in the People's Republic of Kalifornia, but I can dream.

Neat gun.

Concerns about the type of propellant used-all BP and most BP substitutes are hygroscopic-they absorb water, same for percussion caps.

A .451 ball in front of 30 grains of BP or pyrodex etc does quite well-about 800fs and 140 grains of lead. About as effective as a solid lead 158grn 38 special (4inch), only in a four pound hog leg....

God Bless and MOLON LABE

My boss is a solid conservative. He gets a bunch of range time, at my house. I have a private pistol, 300yd rifle, and skeet/clays range.

For everyday walks around the yard, (I live in a very rural area and have around 7 acres of yard which is surrounded by thousands of acres of forest and field) I usually stick a very old Unique model L .22 LR in my pocket. It has been 100% reliable which is fairly unusual in a .22 pocket pistol and is also accurate.

For packing on a casual basis it is usually an old Beretta model 51 Brigadier. This old 9mm is much flatter than the alter model 92 but only has an 8 round magazine. If I think there might be reason to be careful which is rare, I carry a Browning Hi-power.

Sometimes I switch off the Unique model L for a Hungarian copy of the Watlther PP. I have them in both .22 LR and .380. I really like these Hungarian guns. In my experience, they are just as accurate as the Walthers and even more reliable. The reason I usually carry the old single action Unique is because it is lighter and has just as long a barrel.

Today is a sexy Kimber Ultra Carry II in basic black with a basic black Galco SkyOps holster. I forget I am even wearing it.

[Squantos]

MY Favorite wheelgun. Easy to carry , etc .....love the old FiBi issue !

......thanks for that picture.

“I generally go with a leather IWB holster on top of a tucked-in tee-shirt with an untucked Hawaiian or camp shirt as a cover.”

Same here. A small enough gun and a good holster with a belt while wearing shorts works just fine. My current combo for that is a Kimber Ultra Carry 1911 and the Galco SkyOps holster. They work great for ultra concealment and comfort.

[Conservative4Life]

I too generally carry the S&W MP 40 with extra mags and handcuffs, but, when I go to the cities (mpls st.paul) I also carry my Herstal 57

[wastedyears]

That’s beautiful

[Armedanddangerous]

Walther P-99 AS model..9mm

[woollyone]

No photos, sorry...

Today is the Rock island 1911-A1 in a sporty speed scabbard with 230gm ball ammo in condition 1 and and extra 7-rnd mag of the same.

Tomorrow will be the Para 14-45 with 15+1 and an extra 15-rnd mag.
...I’ll be driving through Dade County, where the zombies travel in....groups.

I love my RIA!

[B4Ranch]

Then he does support the range. Good enough.
