For giggles... current daily carry?

[RoadKingLarry]

Either one of these two,
Top is Kimber Custom II, bottom is RIA FS


More often is this

S&W mdl 60 (no freakin' dash) .38 Spec. circa 1977.

[HankB]

My "always" gun is an S&W 340Sc with Crimson Trace lasergrips in an Uncle Mike's pocket holster. I load it with Winchester 145 gr Silvertip Hollowpoint .357s.

(By "always" I mean that if I'm outside the house and not going anywhere that's off limits for concealed carry, it's in my pocket.)

[vaskidmark]

Either a S&W 649-0 or, more likely for the past few months, it's a a Colt Detective Special.  Carried OWB as long as I am awake.  Two speed strips in the pocket.

When I go out & about for an extended day I usually add the Rorbaugh 9 in the back pocket along with an extra magazine.

And let's not forget the WSP Downsizer in .45acp - always on my belt.







Seeker_two -- Take it from one who has tried it.  Forget about the Bond Arms derringer as an EDC.  The sucker is heavy, clunky, and unless you are specifically hoping to kill snakes.  It, like the downsizer, is good only as a belly gun - jammed right into someone's belly.  Look for Shadan7's post here about the Bond derringer: http://www.thehighroad.org/archive/index.php/t-33310.html .  There seems to be something telling about not having tested the .410 000 round, in spite of his comment about home defense use.

stay safe.

I've seen two of you with CRKT knives. How do you like them? Considering buying one when I have some money to spare.

Mine's "OK, I guess".  $19 at Le Mart de Wal, 4 or 5 years ago.  The handle is too narrow for me to grasp very well.  I trust lock backs more than liner locks, even with extra gimmecky lock things.  For the price, though, it'll definately do.  I've seen way more expensive knives I liked less.

I would normally be carrying a Buck Juno (another farm store or stuff-mart bargain, ergonomic handle, a lock back, and a quite stout half serrated blade), but I accidentally left mine in my daughter's college dorm room last week, moving her in. 

Knives are something that I loose every once in a while, so I'd rather not spend a lot of money on one.  I do like 1)lock backs, 2) pocket clips (keep the knife visible, to push back at the hoplophobes), 3) practical but neither ostentatious or tactikool.

Actually, snakes are the main reason I'd get a BA derringer. I'd like to have something in my pocket when I do yard work for snakes & other pests...something with more "OOMPH" than the typical .38SPL shotshell. That, and I live in a pretty low-threat area (small-town, low crime, etc.), and I have other pistols that can take the primary role if needed.  Plus, THR has a pretty compelling account about the effectiveness of the .410 buckshot load in a SD situation...

The BA isn't ideal....but no one is lining up to take the first shot, either....

Vaskid, that thing is just cool!  I'd love to have one for a deep bug.

I've fired the 357mag BA Derringer.  It's nice enough, but way heavy for its size.  I've also shot a large snake with 38sp shotshells.  One from 4' away was enough to destroy the head of a 4' rattlesnake.  IMO, an alloy j-frame with the first two chambers filled with shotshells makes a more versatile "yardwork" weapon.

I thought the WSP was cool until the P3AT came along. I did forget I was carrying it several times, ended up far, far into places Where I wasn't supposed to have guns. 

I need to take pics of my 3 usual carry pieces to counterbalance all these Ichiro Nagata purty gun pics.

Jamis,

It's yours for $5K.  Guy that made them ended up in Club Fed for mail fraud - took money from customers & claimed he needed the $ to manufacture more, but somehow never got around to building them after about the second batch.  If you find one for less, jump on it.

If the bullet does not kill you, the muzzle blast will.  It lights up a darkened range like a strobe light.

And it can make money for you.  I show folks how to manipulate the controls, load, unload, etc.  I do two shots in under 30 seconds.  You do the same in under 60 seconds and I give you $10.  Fail and you give me $5.  I can remember paying out only twice, while I have gotten back at least 5 times what I paid for it.

stay safe.

I love my CRKT knives.  I'm on my second one.  I don't have a picture, but it appears identical to the one Fly320s posted.



I carry the Glock(19C) with pictured ammo(9mm 124grn +P Golden Saber) concealed.
I'd carry a lot more often if I had a reasonable holster for the P-64.

[GigaBuist]

I pick between a Glock 23C, S&W 1911 (Commander sized, scandium frame, stainless slide), and S&W 442 for my carry needs.  Usually.  I did grab the P3AT the other weekend for a long bike trip.

On the topics of knives, my long-term EDC knife has been a Chris Reeve Small Sebenza.  I've carried it for 5 years and it's still going strong.  It wasn't cheap, but it has outlasted many other knives.

[Tuco]

S&W Model 60, 1-7/8"  1973+/- manufacture, in a pocket holster.
eta - Looks just like the one at the top of the page!

When things cool down, I'll go back to the 1006.  
I'm loosing weight, so maybe IWB

[Jamisjockey]

When I hit the lottery, I'll buy it from you!

So, you're on ZS as well, I see. :D
