CCW with a G17

[otasan]

I CCW with my G17 here in rural VT. No terrorists running loose around here.

I also carry a full size pistol. I understand the attraction and benefits of carrying a small handgun but if I have to use a firearm to save a life, I want a full size pistol in my hand.

 

[kwo51]

Is that a cucumber in your shorts or are you just glad to see me. I would have a M14 with me all the time if I could. just saying.

 

[otasan]

The M14 is a very large rifle.

 

[kwo51]

Big bullets big holes. no 22's for me.

 

[otasan]

Good for you, sir. :winner_second_h4h:

 

[kwo51]

I do bust a tree rat out the back door with my m6 scout often. Should have used 12 gauge would have got all 4 of them.

 

[Silver-Bolt]

I occasionally CCW my G20.

 

[otasan]

It is time to go to NH

Time for OC. No CCW license in NH for me, so I'll OC. It is legal in NH.

I carry my g19 with a g17 mag with an grip extention that I just picked.. very nice and easy to conceal for me being 5 foot 7 and 140 lbs......

 

[otasan]

Why not just get a G17?

 

[oppo]

Versatility and the shorter barrel is a little easier to carry some ways, especially seated. Also, some people just like feel of the 19 over the 17. My little brother, for example, loves the feel of the 19 while I like a larger pistol

 

[kwo51]

The only reason to carry a pistol is to fight your way back to your rifle. We all must grasp the reason of this statement for the coming trials . Pistols and revolvers are not good for defense in a life and death fight. Make them as pretty as you want they all turn into hammers when they run dry.Train for the worst and hope for the best.

exactly, spray in pray pistol to get to shotgun, ar, whatever you have bedside..JMHO

A long gun is a superior weapon, without question. However, the beauty of a handgun is that it is much easier to have at hand the moment you are unfortunate enough to find yourself needing a weapon. If you have the opportunity then, by all means, grab a rifle or shotgun but that opportunity is unlikely when sitting in the driver's seat or carrying groceries or sitting down eating dinner at a resturaunt or watching a movie at the theater or a great many other things. Therefore, choose the most effective weapon that you can keep on you, keep it on you as often as possible, and become as proficient as you can. That doesn't mean only slow carefully aimed fire but drawing from concealment, firing one handed as well as two and doing so as rapidly as possible. Also, practice without the sights because there is a good chance that you won't have enough time or light to use them.

 

[Bigdaddy]

Yeah, in my home I go for the shotgun but if I'm out I have my .45.

Yeah, in my home I go for the shotgun but if I'm out I have my .45.

21C or my new M&P 40...

SWSS from somewhere....

 

[kwo51]

May want to avoid places that prohibit the getting to a long gun. War is on the way and only you can protect you.JMHO

This is why I have an XD40 on me (maybe two) and a WASR in my trunk with an extra magazine.
