I usually carry a 38 police special or my favorite pistol, a 22 LR 6 shot that is small but makes lots of noise. Both are small but deadly. It's only 1 inch to your heart. I do not think I would want to face some thug carrying a big knife with wasp or pepper spray. Even the police sometimes fail to stop a thug with pepper spray or tazer's. Especially if they are super high on meth. I was told by the police that a gun that is not loaded is not a weapon. Unless you plan on just throwing it at them. Carry the clip in the gun and your OK, Have one in the chamber and it's a different story.

If it does not have a round in the chamber you might as well leave it at home. I don't know of any bad guys that are willing to wait while you get ready.

When I took my concealed carry class, our instructor said that only in the movies do they cycle the slide on the pistol or pump the shotgun....in real life you need to have a round in the chamber and be ready to shoot in an instant. That is not to say you should shoot....but if it does become necessary you may not get any advance notice.

Since this is not a bike thing, I'm not a noob on this subject.

Recommend a da revolver, lessons, and lots of practice. My favorite
is a S&W 66 2 1/2".

Autos I like are a Sig P230 and Glock 23
(Glock makes some nice sub-compacts also.)

I have a S&W 625 3" that's pretty impressive, it's an N frame in .45 acp
loaded on moon clips. Kinda big and heavy though.

Most important is your willingness to use it and accept the consequences of your actions. 'Cause there will be consequences.

Oh Yeah, for ammo, find out what your local LEOs use. When you go to court you don't want them harping on you using extra nasty dum dum bullets or some such.

Fits right in my right pocket and no one knows I have it. I think Rugers are the most reliable guns made. I don't ever plan on using it but I had rather have it and not need it than the opposite. It stays with me when I'm not riding also. Its one of the most concealable guns ever made.

Here is a picture of the gun (not mine, but just like it, even the same color) with the clip installed

Here is a link to Kel Tec's website for the clip:

http://www.keltecweapons.com/product/pf-9-belt-clip-blued/

I think I bought mine off ebay, but can't remember for sure. It is very easy to install, (it has been a while but I think a couple of pins get replaced with a couple of screws) unnoticeable as far as firing and handling the gun, but it is a very secure way to carry. I think I have seen them for other brands, from other manufacturers, but am not 100% sure on that.

One of the things I like about Oklahoma is that I can "open carry" any weapon I like as long as a round is not chambered. However, if I pay a small fee and take a short class, I can get a license and can carry a loaded weapon, open carry or concealed...my choice.

Shouldn't this gun-humping thread be moved to the TT??...just sayn' Tongue

So far this thread complies with the Cafe Rules. It is not political or religious, and they are just talkin' specifications and sweatin' the details. No one is being rude or impolite........and the thread is not pro or anti-gun control. Just people giving their opinions on what they are doing.......or would like to do.....or what they feel they have to do.

A "round not chambered"? Does that mean a 6 shot pistol with only 5 in it?
