Poll: If you carry a handgun, what caliber is it?

[ccw9mm]

In the spirit of the monster "sticky" thread asking what everyone carries, let's see if we can squeeze some numbers out of this.

Question: If you carry a handgun, what caliber is it? Feel free to check as many boxes as you carry, if you carry more than one type regularly.

(Note: For space considerations, some calibers grouped into families.)

You forgot the .357SIG

[jamz]

.45 and .38 here! :)

[ccw9mm]

You forgot the .357SIG

Nope. The ".357" family is intended to cover the .357 ... I merely mentioned only "magnum" instead of all variants, as I did with the .400 Corbon, for example. If you carry "other", pick that. Go with the flow.

45 acp, 10mm,357mag,9mm you forgot to add 41 mag

[HighVelocity]

45 or 10mm the majority of the time. If I'm in a pocket carry situation .38 or .357

I find that the 9mm with modern defensive ammo gives me the balance between power and controllability that a defensive weapon should have.

The key to defensive shooting is shot placement and the ability to do it consistently, not bullet size.

... you forgot to add 41 mag

Yes, I ignored that one. In all instances where your specific flavor or variant is not listed explicitly: please select "other". That's why it's there.

Call me crazy, but I just love .40 cal. I carried .45 for many years, but no that I am older, and carry fulltime concealed, .40 S&W makes me a happy camper.

[Ben Hennessy]

Depending on what I am wearing, I switch between a 9 or 45. They both conceal differently.

9mm for primary and main BUG but had to add .22 because of NAA .22 mag being usually a ''mini-mouse-bug''

[los]

45acp for many,..many,....many.. (did I mention MANY)..years.

As of a few weeks ago;

Rohrbaugh (9mm) R9s and a Seecamp (.32 auto) LWS32. Soon I'll also add/carry a Seecamp (.380 auto) LWS380.

On a side note, I really don't consider my R9s as my "primary" CCW and I don't consider my LWS32 a "BUG".

I do, however, consider them both to be a great advantage!!

9mm here.(Glock 19)
I prefer .45, but can't make up my mind on a carry piece.
Love the 1911, but don't feel comfortable carrying cocked & locked, guess I'm just not use to it.

[Tubby45]

45acp and 10mm. Those are the only two I will ever carry.

[KC135]

I carry revolvers a lot. No mention of two popular revolver calibers, 44 Special and 44 Magnum.

I also carry 38 Special, but never carry 380.

Might want to look at the criteria you used.
