I am looking at getting a handgun for a concealed carry every day gun. I was wondering who on here carries a handgun, where do you keep it and any recommendations on a good everyday carry gun?

Thanks,

Jacob

I carry a little Charter Arms 5 shot revolver 2" barrel, .38 Special in my pocket in a pocket holster. Real comfortable and easy to get to if I ever needed it.

I also like a .38 special. It is a 5 shot with a 2" barrel, though mine is a Smith and Wesson.

I carry my duty weapon a lot. But I would suggest a walther P22. It's only a .22 but if your a good shot it shouldn't matter. Dead is dead.

Size and weight is big when picking out a gun. If you choose a big caliber the weight of the bullets will get old.

I would recommend a compact 9mm with personal defense rounds in the magazine. Good brands are the M&P and the Ruger SR9. There are some really nice holsters available that keep the barrel inside your pants, vs. those that are carried with the barrel outside. My husband prefers these as they are easier to conceal. Some of the compacts come with different size magazines as well - we like those that hold 10 and have the ability to switch out to a 17 round magazine with a grip extension. I'm pretty sure the SR9 offers this, and it is an extremely accurate 9mm, very easy to shoot and lightweight.

I carry a 9 mm with four 16 round mags along with a 45 with four 7 round mags then a 357 mag with 4 speedloaders ready to go. no such thing as to big a gun or to many bullets

.22 Mag 5 shot revolver with pocket clip, carries like a pocket knife.

North American Arms 5 shot stainless revolver. So small it can be carried in the pocket and nobody knows. The thing i really like is the saftey of this gun compared to other revolvers. You can sit the hammer beteen the rounds so no matter how hard the hammer is accidently stuck there is no way it can fire till you cock it. Also weighs next to nothing, loaded.
The .22 mag is a pretty devestating little round imo.

Either S&W 442 (Airweight internal hammer revolver) or Ruger LCP in front pocket in holster. Both of these are nice to carry. Get something reliable and lightweight. You will find yourself not carrying if it is uncomfortable.

If I could only have one....it would have to be my S&W 642. I think it is the best all around carry gun for me.

Luckily I don't have to only have one so I also carry a Ruger LCP in the summer and a Springfield XD45C in the winter.

But I'm dying to get my hands on a single stack Kahr in 9mm.
