from my human events email. I have #1 :mrgreen:

Good info for those looking for a CCW, the experts already know what to get.

The Top 10 CCW guns - Conservative News

 

[JAGER]

No H&K. List is BS!!!! Na list is ok, but I'm still a wee shocked H&K compact didn't make it in the top ten.

 

[Jaye880]

I carry a officers model norinco 1911.

 

[Fuzzee]

Meh, opinions. I'd still take my 92FS before anything there.

 

[trainershawn]

I'll stick with my Ruger LC9. Works great for me and is very accurate.

We live in a low violent crime area, in fact if there is one murder a year it's a big deal. So I feel perfectly fine with a Taurus 605 J-frame 357 magnum 5 shot in my front pocket. With an HKS speedloader in my watch pocket.
Or, a Charter Arms Bulldog 44 Special in the front pocket, again with an HKS speedloader.
I tried carrying a Colt Commander 45 ACP in an IWB holster, but for the threat level around here it's just too uncomfortable.

Ruger SP 101 x 2 second gun is reload!

 

[Old Man]

For myself, I carry a Diamondback DB9 in a IW holster and a Diamondback 380 acp with laser in my hip pocket. In my truck I caryy a Para Ordance Carry 9 and backup to that in my truck is a Tauras 25 acp in ash tray. Also a AR 15 mounted insided the back panel of the truck. Can never be to careful!

Like I said experts already know

 

[JPARIZ]

1911-A1 & Walther PPK

 

[machinejjh]

Carry a Ruger SR9C. Accurate, and eats whatever I feed it.

 

[AquaHull]

Reading is fundamental, Ruger SR's, H&K,1911's don't make the cut

 

[Verteidiger]

I carry a .45 ACP SIG Sauer P220R Carry with 10-round single stack extended mags.

If I have to shoot, I want a gun that works reliably, and a bullet that ends the fight.

 

[BDylan]

I'm one of the folks who prefers the Glock 26 to the 19...I can certainly understand someone who wants an even smaller weapon to haul around every day.

 

[mikes69baja]

Im a lefty. So i prefer to carry a FNH FNX9. With the 4in barrel it conceals nicely on my hip under a shirt.
Im not a fan of the 45 clan... 9mm plus-p-plus is a superior round.

 

[Smitty901]

Based on his view.
There are far more Rugers sold than any of those listed. Glock sales are not even in the running.
I would dispute the rankings

 

[Fuzzee]

Like I said experts already know

That's the thing, lists like this are all opinion. There still good help for people who don't know much about guns and/or haven't found what is best for them. Best is all a personal liking though afterall. A what's best for the individual. Most of those pistols I don't like very much, but that's me and with my body type I conceal a fullsize pistol just fine with the right clothes. A fullsize pistol has always shot better than any compact or sub compact that I've ever shot as it's a fuller grip, longer barrel, more weight so less recoil, more forgiving and more comfortable. To each his own though and what works for them. :smile:

 

[vandelescrow]

Cz75b

 

[Infidel]

He's got some good choices on the list and it would be hard to dispute some of them (specifically the J frame S&W or even the LCR). My personal preference is for a commander style 1911 (a Kimber Pro CDPII in my case) which gives the benefit of a full size frame with the shorter slide/barrel. My secondary carry gun is an S&W M36 because lets face it sometimes that 1911 is just a bit inconvenient to carry and if it comes down to carrying a .38 or not carrying at all, I'll take the .38. I will say that list gives a pretty good starting point for people looking to buy their first carry gun.

What works for the writer is just fine for him but what works for me and you all too is what works and that is the best there is.
I carry an old Ruger Security-Six with a six inch barrel. I can shoot it at 25 yards without thinking. At the standard 7 yard "combat range" it can be fired from the hip and hit where-ever I want. When I take the time to aim it will keep a 1.5" group at 50 yards and I can easily pick off a man sized target at 100 yards off-hand.
I am completely comfortable with the gun - I have been shooting it for over 40 years. I have owned 9mm, and 45 ACP but I haven't been able to trust them. I have recently fired a Ruger in 40 S&W and it was a nice gun but it was no where near as accurate as my old Ruger wheel gun.
