If CCW was legal in Canada, which of your currently owned handguns would you carry?

I would carry my 2" S&W Airweight Model 12, K frame revolver. It is compact and only weighs 19 ounces empty. It can fire +P ammo safely.

I have larger, heavier pistols and revolvers with more capacity and muzzle energy but I think that a smaller, lighter handgun is more practical and realistic for CCW.

I think we just recently did this thread, but what the heck....

Glock 22 .40 S&W with 180 gr Speer Gold Dot JHP's.

S&W Model 37 Airweight snubbie with 158 gr all lead HP's.

NAA.

I searched for a thread with a similar subject and didn't find one but my CGN search function-fu is very weak.

I'll play.

Sometimes I would carry my 9mm H&K P2000.

Most of the time I would carry my Snake Slayer loaded with .410 000 buckshot.

Occasionally both!

I wouldn't carry any of the guns I own.

Concealed carry with a full size pistol is simply retarded!

There is an abundance of compact models, and pocket pistols that fit the bill quite nicely. Why not take advantage of them?

Even with the laws the way they are you can get a Glock 26/27 or a Sig 239, but if CCW was legalized there would be no point keeping the prohib 12/6 class, as the only reason these guns were prohibited is because they were considered concealable.

That said I would still probably carry a Glock 27. Maybe a Ruger LCP, or Kahr both in .380 for the summer time.

There is actually a Sig 230 on the EE right now as well.

Hk p30 .40 s&w

slick, light, reliable as the sun.

HK USP9
or my SR9 if I still had it. Its the ideal full size CCW pistol.

 

[FrankieT]

HK P7. Small, accurate, safe.

 

[pie1]

something in .357SIG

 

[Makko_Shark]

I'd carry my Walker Colt repro. It may not be fancy, but I doubt anyone would try anything with that bulge under my coat And if they did, I wouldn't have to fire a live round, the muzzle flash would be enough to burn the hair off their eyebrows! lol.

something in .357SIG

x2

almost as big of a 'wound' as 45 with alot less recoil

 

[Machete]

If i could ccw, i would get myself a Ruger LC9. It's small and light enough for carry, thin with the single stack mag and the 9mm would likely be powerful enough.

With better penetration than a 45, and higher ammo capacity.

I think I saw a penetration comparison to 7.62x25, and 357 sig won...

But I have also heard the +P+ 9mm compares similarly to 357 SIG, but is harder on the gun...?

 

[Boomer]

For general carry a 1911 in .45, but in hot weather a .38 Special J frame Smith in belly band.
