I dont have mine yet but I want to get it. I need to get it before they decide to make it harder.

I do have a Taurus .40 S&W that is in the nightstand, but when I get my permit I'll carry it when I feel the need.

How do you like your crossbreed supertuck? I have hurd you need to wear a larger size pant when you use it.

Out of those two I would say the Smith and Wession. I dont really care for Rugers. I carry my Glock 23 .40s&w daily with a Galco iwb holster and once and a while I carry my Kimber Grand Raptor II 1911

Default Re: Just got my CPL. Who alls got there?

Personally I wouldn't get a 9mm to carry. Get at least a 40. I have a Walther p99qa 40 as my carry gun and I have a ruger sr9 as my plinking gun. Also have 2 ruger superredhawk 44mag revolvers with 7.5" barrels. But that's a bit excessive. And I took my cpl class. I just have to wait until im 21 (this summer) to get my license.

Default Re: Just got my CPL. Who alls got there?

The military has learned time and time again that small calibers are a risk. Yes, the ammo is cheaper and lighter and so are the firearms but if you get someone who is hopped up on some sort of drug, you will need to shoot them multiple times to bring them down.

Yes, they currently use 9mm pistols and 5.56mm (.223) in their rifles but the goal from the bean counters and theorists are to save money and that it takes more people to take care of a wounded soldier than a dead one. It has nothing to do with how well the ammo does the job. Will both rounds kill a human? Yes they will. Are they the most effective ammo to do the job? No they aren't. That is why up until the Vietnam war, some version of a high powered .30 caliber round was used in rifles (like the .308 and .30-06) and .45 ACP was used in pistols. One shot and most likely, they were down.

You can get some very small pistols in .45 ACP to carry. Granted 9mm, .40 cal, and .380 can get smaller but they don't pack the knock down power of a .45. JM2C
