What do you carry?

Taurus makes the Judge! It shoots long colt .45 or .410 shot gun shells. There other pistals do not have a good reputation. A Ruger SR9 would be a good start. Good price and great gun!

If we get to ride together sometime soon, I have a few choices for you to shoot!

Yea we do need to go on a ride! We have been talking about it forever but have never been able to work out the weekend! Hopefully soon! I may ride Saturday with Bubba.

I may ride on Sat. for a day trip...

I may try to make it to Saturday. It depends on how work goes! I will talk to bubba and his goat about it later.

Keep me posted on what you guys do...

ok no problem....just switch over to the other topic for this weekend. I sent Bubba a message there.

I've always had hunting rifles but started carrying a hand gun a couple years ago. Then I just feel in love with shooting. Big time stress releif for me. More so than fishing and riding.

I agree man. I love to Shoot guns. About 3 years ago we got into loading our shells which is a fun hobby also not to mention the cost, you can save some money. I have had a little trouble getting my primers here lately though. I shoot Federal Gold Metal Match primers in some of my guns, and they are non existent right now unless you want to spend $120.

Guns are fun. Just be safe and pay attention. They're also addictive. I have been collecting for quite awhile now.

Well I can see where a gun would be handy when you are riding. If a bear came up and it was a last resort then yes kill it or that farmer in the story above.

I wouldnt pull a gun on him though. It sounds like he had beatem them to the punch.

I may get me a hand gun one day. I have no idea what a good "starter" gun would be. I hear the "taurus" is pretty stout!

Think about what you will do with the gun...target shoot, home defense, concealled carry, are you gonna shoot it alot?

A handgun is a tool, and some are ok for everything, and some are way better for some things and suck at others.

Dropping a few hundred $ on that 1st gun seems like alot of money, but its insurance on your life. You may never need it, but it's better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.

Tell us what all you want to do with it. Then it will be easier to narrow down what you are looking for.

SCCY stainless/black 9mm; if you are a bad guy, don't come within twenty yards of it pointing at you or it will be the last thing you will ever see

Current stock sw .40, bushmaster ar, mossberg defender 12g. As simoniz said it's a great stress reliever to go and shoot.

i carry a REXIO 45 long colt or 410 with a 10 inche barrel it is a single shot .you can shoot 3inche 410 mags in it.i have had it for 10 years and i use it to deer hunt with so i know it does shoot good. and if i dont have that i have a high point 9mm with a factory barrel comp on it .it was a cheap one but it shoots really good and has a lifetime wtt with it.bot guns are made in the usa.

i just got a smith 709 slim to carry to replace my smith 442 airweight revo. in the rzr i was carrying a judge until i sold it, i had a brushed one and am gonna replace it with a black magnum judge...

i don't get to carry as much as i would like because where i work will fire you if you are caught with a gun or even ammo on you or in your vehicle...

Update; still have the SCCY 9mm plus a Walther PK380 and a Sig Sauer 40 S&W. Like the 40 the best, cuts bullet holes at 30 yards

When we went to Carolina Adventure world, he chewed on one the whole day...that boy is TOUGH!!...

Yup, he is tougher than a two dollar steak!!!!!

I carry a Taurus 24/7 9mm, sometimes I carry a kel-tec sub2000 9mm folding rifle in a backpack, it is really fun to shoot and can tear up a beer can at 50 yards. I also have a .35 marlin, lever action deer rifle, a .22 rifle and a .22 revolver.

here is a video of the little rifle.....I love it...

I don't carry two!!! When I drink it is illegal to conceal carry! So when I am drunk I carry one on my side!!! As for the wife,thats what a tazer is for! I carry a BASEBALL BAT when I ride with RAYRAY so I can beat the shit out of him!!

So your the reason I got knocked out tonight...you did a number on my head...thanks a lot...

Make fun of me if you want, but I'm a big believer in my Keltec .380. Maybe I just happened to get a good one, but it groups very well for it's size, barrel length, and bad trigger pull. I'm very confident with it at legal self defense distances, and it weighs less fully loaded than a loaded 9mm magazine. My pants don't sag with it in my pocket, and it's very concealable. Now if I'm in a bad area, then it gets swapped for something a little bigger.

I usually carry a Sig P226 or a glock 19. Have not been carrying much lately since I work out of my house. Love my P226 though great gun, comfortable, feels pretty balanced and is not a huge gun.

I used to keep a .50 cal Desert Eagle in my truck. When I run out of ammo I could always club them if needed. Just got tired of always being in the way though. So now mainly the P226.
