Sig P239 .40 but I can only open carry for now. Hopefully we'll get a pro gun governor next election in 2010.

Kinda makes me want to ask, why is concealed carry more desirable than open carry? Isn't the whole idea to make you feel more safe? I would think that knowing that your mark is carrying would make you much less likely to mug/rob them, than someone that seemingly isn't packing.

Just wondering smile

I also have a Ruger P89. I generally keep it for home defense, not as a carry gun.

I don't have a CCW, for several reasons, but in Arizona you can carry open whenever you want. I don't in town, but when I used to hunt and hike I'd carry my Springfield stainless Loaded, 1911. My favorite handgun.

It also makes you a target, as in "OK, first we take out the cowboy with the gun." Much better for the bad guys to have no idea who's carrying.

I just depend on a couple of knives, no permits required and I have more practice with them. If someone is a threat and are not close enough for the knife I'll just have to look helpless, I suppose. I used to carry my PPK but that was before all the hysteria about concealed weapons.

Had XD 9mm SC of which I rid myself this summer and in winter and fall (mostly in winter when I've got tons of clothes on) I carry a Beretta Cougar 8000.

Presently I'm carrying my month old Glock 26. Just got two new Comp-Tac holsters for it (one IWB one OWB).

Lot of P89 owners in here. I like mine, even though I don't shoot it well. Two large capacity mags, although I can't find one of them. Probably in my sock drawer.

Don't carry it, more like keep it locked up in the basement, but I've got a Remington-made 1911A1 produced in 1943. No match for a .45 when you need stopping power biggrin

Hopefully, if you ever need it, you'll have time to get into the basement and unlock it. And that it's loaded. Sounds like a good gun, and you're right no match for a .45. Big wonking round.

Welllllll, a .44 Mag and a .41 Mag are pretty powerful too.

Well, if our house is ever assaulted by a bunch of gun-wielding loonies that start firing wildly, and I scoot down to the basement and get the gun, and somehow manage to shoot the bastards, *I* will probably be the one going to jail, for shooting an unregistered gun, and for actually shooting someone. There's a twisted legal system for ya!
