What's The Most Popular Concealed Weapon Handgun Caliber?

[TroutKing]

Ruger LC9 is my favorite carry gun. I like pocket carry and it conceals nicely. For years I preferred a .40 IWB but with the increase in ammo prices over the past 10 years it's costly to shoot my .40 and .45. Once I started shooting the 9mm round again I began to like it more.

I feel well armed with a .22 Magnum, and might with .22 LR, but not in a pistol. I want a revolver as I am not satisfied with the ammo ignition of rimfire. Ballistics are fine enough for me, but I don't want to practice malfunctions when the chips are down. A revolver allow you to move to the next round and cycle back to the dud for a second strike, often they will work the second time. I have a S&W 351PD which is a seven shot J frame snub in .22 Mag and a Ruger LCR 8 shooter in .22 LR, both real accurate.

I have Several .22 LR Pistols and a KelTec PMR-30 in .22 Mag, but I don't carry them for my stated reason. It would be the KelTec though, 30 rounds of .22 Mag is impressive.

I broke my Glock 29 10MM so I am now carrying my .45 XD-S,

My instructor uses and carries a 351PD and swears by it. I am currently carrying a Ruger SP101 .357 mag 3" barrel.

I carry Kel-Tec P3at. The .380's got enough stopping power, and still small enough to be concealed easily and comfortably. I'm sticking to carrying .380's. I've carried 9mm's too and they're just too big and bulky usually.

You need to check out some of the newer 9mm offerings.
They are pretty dang small!

The one you carry.

I use only .32 acp for home/carry. My Bersa holds 10+1 with a 3.5 barrel and my Kel Tec P-32 pocket pistol holds 7+1 they are both dependable and accurate. If I wanted a .380 it would be the Ruger LC380 or the Walther PK380. But I like .32 acp. :dance3:

All the 9MM fans like to point to the great strides in the 9MMs capability. I would point out the those same strides have been made across the board of calibers, you can get some pretty racy 32, 380, 40, 45 10MM rounds. The Rimfire has not kept up, but I can imagine that some rimfire maker will step up. To bad Ruger/Polycase are not in the rimfire market...yet.

Also as some have said it is all about getting to a longgun

I am new to all of this. I have a .357 magnum, .45 and a 9mm. I am most comfortable with the .45 at this point.

 

[PAcarrier]

Hope I'm not too late to this party.

I'm 357 Sig all the way for EDC weapons - Glock 31 and 32, and a Sig P226. Have a 1911 45 ACP and KelTec PF9, but don't carry either one.

I took a conceal carry class the other night.
15 people in the class.
12 Shields, one Glock, one Ruger and one HK (one of the new Sk's sweet gun)
all 9mm.
The instructor said 95% of the students that come in and take these classes are carrying 9mm

 

[jmohme]

I have carried both 9mm and 40 cal.
99% of the time its the 9mm Glock 19 because it's a comfortable carry and it was just one of those guns the fell into my hand and made its self at home.
My G22 is a close second, but is not as comfortable a carry gun, so it stays in the nightstand for the most part.
