My New Concealed Pistol

Hey Berngen!! Haven't talked to you since we met in Maggie Valley 2 yrs ago. Hope you are doing great. I just started buying !911's since Sept. Only buy Sig's. 5" 1911 Stainless w/black frame 45, Same thing in an Ultra Carry 45, P938 9mm, !911 Sig 22 cal. Love the ultra carry. Accurate and doesn't kick any more than the full size. Have a great Xmas & new year!! Hope to run into you again someday.
 
Gotta question. I carry, but haven't found a decent answer to a problem yet. If you plan on riding up into Canada while touring, entering at one point and coming back into the states at another, what do you do with the CCW?? I can see leaving it with a local gun shop, or even in a locker at a Greyhound Sta., but that doesn't help when you cross the border 1000 miles from where you started....
 
the department I work for issued the lcp to deputies for back up guns. they are good ones .
I went to the beretta nano 9 for a little bigger gun and it has a safety in the trigger to stop the problem of the drop- fire.

it is a little bulkier to carry. still fits in my back pocket. and inside of my vest pockets.

When riding with my wife. She as easy access to my 45 being on my right hip an she carries as well Always ready hisst

Don't think it would be wise to risk getting caught with a pistol in Canada. They're nice folks, but .... Consider mailing or shipping it to yourself at a US post office general delivery, UPS, or FedEx where you will be exiting Canada.
 
I carry a .38 S&W bodyguard with high cap shells and laser sights in my vest pocket. I rely on this to get me to my bike where I keep my Ruger 9mm with extra clips.
I would rather have them and not need them, than to need them and not have them.

My gun is like my AMERICAN EXPRESSCARD, "you don't leave home without it ".
 
My latest is a Kahr CW380. Mice carry. Be safe and enjoy the ride. Larry

The CW380 is the pocket carry gun that I intend to buy also. But I am waiting until late Jan after the SHOT show to see what the latest releases are. The Glock 42 is a bit bigger than the Kahr. But rumor is that Glock may put out a true pocket 9mm on the G42 platform. If they do, I'll look very hard at that. If they don't, it will be a CW380 with Crimson laser.

^^^^^:agree:^^^^^^

Just don't take a chance carrying into Canada. Prearrange something with a family member, friend, sheriffs dept or something to ship it to at your exit point. Canadian authorities do not take that lightly at all on handguns. Even with a hunting gun, you should declare it prior to any search. I wouldn't risk it under any circumstance.
 
I went with the Kahr CM9 in 9 mm. Take a look at it before you commit to the 380, it's only very slightly longer, but is still a great pocket carry with a lot more bite.
 
I just picked up a nice tiny North American Arms 22 magnum pocket pistol. Easy to hide.

I've been trying to get in touch with this guy for a while now with no luck -- this is a great looking piecenaaexot6.jpg
 
I like 45's
so my small cc gun of 20 years or so is 45 long colt /410 x 2.5 ( maker is American derringer of tx, nice gun serious power
ok i.m getting long in the tooth and slow and cant see as well as I could etc!!!,,
and the long colts are a hand full to shoot with any accuracy under pressure so I normally have 410's with #6 shoot works for me
magoo
 
So ya say you like 45's as a CC. Here ya go, 45 in one chamber and a 410 in the other. ThumbUp or whatever :Shrug:

Glock 26, 9mm was my first cc, gets heavy real fast but a super gun, now stays in the truck. Glock 42, 380 is a good carry in the vest or rear pocket when walking around. My latest cc is a sig p938, 9mm and just ordered the 22 conversion for the p938. Practice and carry the same gun is a good idea. I like the safety and hammer on the p938. Jim
 
It amazes me how few people carry revolvers anymore I carry the S&W 638 Airweight loaded with buffalo bore hardcast +P It's lighter than my Kel-Tec P-11 Smaller than my Glock 35 It's always ready to fire and NEVER jams. Carries well in a pancake, or IWB or on my ankle
 
Well after mucho research and search of soul, I decided my next toy is......The Shield. I spent Saturday afternoon at the local gun shop and range. After narrowing down to Kahr CM9, Beretta Nano, Ruger LC9s, and S&W Shield 9 (All good guns), The Shield ended up as my choice. Now to pound a few hundred rounds down range! Glad they make all types of trikes and guns, it gives us all plenty of good options!

I'll use this deep IWB, and I have a pocket Recluse holster on the way to experiment with In big pockets. If that doesn't work, then I may just have to buy a B.U.G. 380! Poor me. LOL

Im not sure how one would decide on that list. all are great little guns. I have the nano but was looking at the shield before I bought it. they look and function a lot the same. the re sale price on my 20 year old beretta 96 still in the 5-6 hundred dollar range. (real close to the cost of a new one ) so I stayed with the same company. All on your list are exceptional cc choices.ThumbUp

Hey Condor, I had the same issue and did some research. Found out that you can bring a firearm into Canada for a limited period of time with the right paperwork & $25.

I am now using a Rossi 6 shot revolver 357 which fires 38 special or 357. I was using a Bersa 380 auto but I had trouble getting to the safety with one hand so I went to the revolver just pull the trigger and it shoots. It conceals well too .The Bersa is very accurate and carries a seven shot mag. Nice weapon Hope to never have to use it but will if I need to .;If I point it at you I am going to shoot you.
