.38 Snub Nose REVOLVER - ALL you REALLY need in a EDC CCW

Ruger SP101 .357 is better.

Unless there are 10 of them.

10 attackers and you need to be fighting your way to a semi auto long gun. Or have already had one.

10:1 requires a considerable force equalizer. No matter how big a "bad ass" anyone thinks they are.

Walther PPK/S .382 works for me.

.

Conceal depending on the situation

10mm for the woods,
small 9mm for daily use
45 1911 3 inch for one on one rough neighborhood

Wheel guns are okay, but the double action isn't good unless your three feet away.

I think we're talking about all around gun. Not selective depending on whatever.

.

Dual .38 snub nose.

Eh higher muzzle velocity / energy? Sure. But I can't imagine a situation that the .38 +P doesn't do the job just as well in 99.999% of self defense encounters.

Plus the 101 weighs nearly twice as much as say a SW 642 does.

Concealed Carry only works when practical and comfortable. I'll take that 14 oz weight reduction any day. After all I am wearing something for a contingency piece. It isn't a "truck gun" or my "bed side gun" or my "end of the world" gun... it's an EDC piece.

50cal mini gun..change my mind

No, let me break out my speed loader after I fire off three rounds. Spare magazines much better. My all around is the HK2000 with 3 inch barrel in 9mm. 10+1 rounds

I can tell from your post, you've never actually held a real gun much less shoot one.

Meant six rounds. But,wheel guns are more reliable in my opinion

4" Snub with 38 Special Cal. = Put a 6 shot group into someones eye at 15 yards.

Revolvers rarely Jam ( usually with reloads and a proud primer or squib load ) with factory ammo and will never let you down.

Plus you don't have to go around picking up the evidence.

Hahahahhaha, I made honors in my last four day pistol course in Nevada.

I might add, a Colt combat commander

Always felt confident with my .38

If I can’t solve a situation in about 4 rounds, that’s a gunfight I don’t want to be in, and am already in rethink mode...having extra rounds, or clips doesn’t even enter the equation. Either I have overwhelming force or I don’t...

Depending on what I am doing...

GLOCK 34,17, or 19 on my hip, IWB or OWB, again depends on what I am doing.

GLOCK 26 on my ankle...

I can run 17 round mags and 33 round mags in ALL of them.

I stick with GEN 3s, and most of the parts are interchangeable.

I am a GLOCK Armorer and GLOCK Instructor. Been around them for almost 30 years.

Glocks are made in Germany. By Germans who were related to Nazis.

Glock 20 is my go to road trip gun.

marginally.

what they're really better at is time investment.

you don't have to spend as much time getting it up to speed,
no safeties, mag releases, no testing what ammo works okay.

Nothing wrong with wheel guns.

The wheel gun I am most interested in and probably going to buy is this:

RUGER LCR Hamerless 9mm Revolver.

Practice practice practice. The "break" of a heavy double action revolver is almost like two step trigger pull. With enough practice you can get good and fast with double action wheel shooting at distance. IF that's what you want to focus on...

Number one problem I see with gun culture today, especially the younger guys, is alot of focus on buying and acquiring new toys, but very little work on actual practice and training.

BUT when it comes to self defense outside the home... on the distance thing:

I believe the FBI stat of "85% of self defense shootings occur within 3 yards and are done within 3 shots or less" gets thrown around a lot. I don't know if it's true. But considering the typical reason you may need your carry weapon: mugging, robbery, car jacking, violent attacker... all of those are VERY close quarters engagements.

During heavy adrenaline, surprise attack, perhaps already being injured (struck or stabbed or even shot), being able to just grab and shoot and not worry "is the safety on or off" , "is a round chambered", "oh shit I had a failure to feed!" etc are ALL reasons I feel a small wheel gun is an incredibly reliable, and perhaps best choice for CCW.

LOL, they are Austrian, and many are made in the USA.

I actually prefer the Austrian made, but that is just me.

Glock is Austrian, you thick cunt

Great choice and good enough for bears!!!

LOL. Cunt.

10 of them?

You shoot 2 of them and the rest will duck and cover. Or they run away if they are smart
