Not enough power for my taste, prefer a .40 or.45. A little something I picked up while home this last weekend.

Nice piece.
I carry the .380 most of the time. It's lighter than my wheel gun. The Ruger is a .357, MORE than enough to do the job. With any luck I will never have to use either, other on the range that is.

Yeah, her Beretta is extremely comfortable to shoot. That's actually why we bought it. We ran 200 rounds thru a "tester" then HAD to have it.
She doesn't carry it, though.
It's for ventilating intruders.
My Ruger Speed Six has been "Old Faithful" to me for about 25 years I think.

I don't carry that Ruger of mine. Just too big. But it shoots like a freakin cannon!! Sally doesn't care to shoot it even once but will run a couple of boxes through her M9A1 without blinking.

That's what counts. Nines aren't blessed with an overabundance of stopping power, but if the shooter can handle the weapon and hit her target at the moment of gravest danger, she just might win the day. Prayers for Sally

Re: September locations... Farewell summer of '13
Very nice piece. Was the price good?
At work we carry Glock .40, I have at home a Beretta 92FC .9mm (my first duty weapon), a S&W 4506 .45. Never fired, and a S&W .9mm, and a Charter Arms .38 snub nose revolver.

Here is a start. What firearm do you use for conceal carry and why?

Its a S&W 645, built from '85 to '88 (I think). Was my Uncle's gun, he passed a couple years ago and my aunt just decided to part with it. Gave $400 for it, seemed a fair price.

Glock 23, like the mid size of it and the firepower of the .40. Have a carry holster for the center of my back.

Re: Carry pieces
My wife and I both have Sig P238's. We carry those most of the time when we are home. .380 is not the best caliber by any means but with good ammo, Hornday Critical Defense, they do a pretty good job. The Sigs are light,handle well and Mrs. Layout can shoot good with it.
My other is a Ruger SP101 .357. I carry it when it's cold outside. It's bulky and harder to conceal under light summer clothes. THAT caliber will do the job, without a doubt.
This conversation has me "itching", SO, I here there is a good gun shop in Massilon, OH, heading out there now!

Re: Carry pieces
I don't carry because I'm on the road and have no idea where I could do so legally. I have a PA carry permit, but it probably wouldn't be honored in Illinois
