What's The Most Popular Concealed Weapon Handgun Caliber?

[Matte Black]

.380 in the crossdraw one in the chamber 16 backup.

anyone know of a good instructor in Cleveland, Ohio area for concealed carry? i have a group of about 5 looking for a good class.

 

[hopalong]

I carry a Ruger lC9 in. Crossbreed mini tuck. Just right for me

 

[holeshoo]

I have been looking at the Ruger LC9 as a CCW, any opinions from anyone? I have shot it a couple of times at the range, but I am used to shooting a P90 and P95, it is so small but I need something easy to conceal.
I had the salesman at the gun shop pushing the Kahr CM9, I like the price of the Ruger, but I want something I can depend on every time it shoots. I have put 1000+ rounds in each of my other 2 Rugers 45 & 9 without one failure, so I am sold on the Ruger semis.
Appreciate any info and opinion.

I bought a Sig P220 Carry in .45ACP but found it still too bulky for easy carry. I ended up wearing a S&W 642 38 Special +P in the pocket. I'm considering switching to a 9mm for the extra rounds available, but I do love that little J frame.

 

[Roburt]

I go with .380, .40 S&W &, .45ACP. Not necessarily in that order... ;-)

 

[Stan45]

45acp
For many reasons, easy to reload, long case live, is a known man stopper

I always have my LCP. My Para LDA 1911 is my favorite pistol that I carry when practical.

Id say it really depends on body size and clothing worn. For bigger people or those who wear heavier clothers can carry larger calibers and guns. For me I can more easily conceal a sub compact xd9, and easier concealment means I carry more, which is whats most important in my opinions.

9mm; Kahr CW9. Thin enough for carry in the hot Southeast.

 

[legamin]

My faves are the snubby .38+p around the ankle (real men don't wear shorts) and my old friend the FNP9 that also willingly and reliably takes +p hollow points with a stock supply of 18.
I'm getting a FNP 5.7x28 as a switch out for the summer months for reduced weight and 21 rounds stock on board of some very nasty tumbling, flesh ripping deep penetrating rounds.

 

[Garyg]

Poll result pretty much as expected.
My choice for everyday carry is 180gr Winchester PDX in .40 S&W (provides velocity and consistant expansion). Am considering going to 165gr to get higher velocity.

 

[Ravenhurst]

I voted 9mm, because I figured it was the most popular. Personally I carry a .380 when I need a small frame, and my .40 when I can conceal my XD effectively. If I attend an open carry meetup, I rock my FNP-45. lol.

 

[Bowhunter85]

I have a 40 xdm but its a bit bulky to carry. I love the new springfield xd-s but so far its only in a 45. i personally like to have a 40. cal

 

[steelniel]

Its 9mm for me, primarily cause of cost. I like to shoot my conceal gun as much as i can so for availability of ammo and variety and cost. Gotta go with the 9

 

[koepper69]

I carry Ruger sr40c. A bit big for true concealed carry but its the best shooting handgun I've ever handled and has exceptional safety feature.

 

[Dawn VanVleet]

I carry a .380 with crimson trace. My .40 is just too heavy.

 

[Sam Barr]

So far 9mm does the trick. The collection is always expanding however...

 

[Stan45]

I would have picked 75acp but it was not on the list.

 

[kvready]

I carry a keltec PF9 9mm in spring and summer, and a Glock 29 10mm in the fall and winter.
