That said, make mine a pistol in 5.56 (at least 2,200 fps).

A 9sillymeter is as effective as a .44 magnum.

You can jump to 7:38 to get to the meat (pardon the pun).

Good choice. I’ve a Glock 42 myself however lately I’ve gone with appendix carry and I don’t like the idea of a semi auto pointed at my groin so I either carry a LCR* or SP101 with 2.25" barrel appendix carry, loaded with Underwood .38 +p+ using Gold Bullets.

*I learned the hard way that the LCR in rimfire totally sucks - the trigger pull is atrocious (it needs that heavy DA trigger pull for reliability)

That video is describing what they're going to do to us when they send the SWAT teams out to round up all us anti-semite, domestic terrorists.

I shoot a Ruger Super Blackhawk in .44 magnum best but it's to big to be packing around all the time. What I pack most of the time is a Glock 33 in .357 sig but it will convert to 9mm or 40 smith Wesson in a couple of minutes. I pack a couple of pocket guns most of the time too. :)

You're going to have reliability issues if you don't swap out that .40 S&W/.357 Sig extractor and ejector when you install a 9mm conversion barrel. Sounds great in theory, but practice doesn't work out so well in that sort of swap without installing the 9mm extractor and ejector. Target practice with cheaper 9mm is one thing however I would not rely on the .40/.357 Sig parts when utilizing 9mm for a carry gun, could be a very regrettable mistake.

I haven't had any trouble switching from .357 to 9mm yet and I do use the 9mm to practice with. I have the .40 SW barrel just incase ammo gets hard to come by and then I'd have another way to go.

Shot a cow square in the head with the 357 round a few days ago and that was the end for her.

Exactly the info I needed MR. I'm now 5'-11" 148lbs on my way to 140lbs and can't hide much "concealed" wearing cargo shorts and a tee shirt on hot Summer days.

Did your LCP II go BANG every time you pulled the trigger? Did it need a so-called break-in period to become reliable? That size looks perfect...like the small Kahrs that need a 200-round so-called break-in period (https://www.google.com/search?biw=1920&bih=892&ei=qprTXLiZJJLB-gT5-JroBQ&q=kahr+break-in+period&oq=kahr+break-in+period&gs_l=psy-ab.12...0.0..36566...0.0..0.0.0.......0......gws-wiz.r_yd9V2a9do).

Haven't shot it enough to determine that. Just ordered a case of 1,000 rounds of .380 auto*, will be burning that ammo through the LCP II this weekend (along with my LCP I 2nd generation).

Have not noted any issues in the online reviews of the LCP II.

Please report any misfires/malfunctions on Monday. At only $240 local price this appears to be a no-brainer!

Spare factory LCP II magazine is supposed to be $20 local price. Slide Lock does not work with your older version LCP v1 magazines...

My only worry remains carrying with one in the chamber in a pocket holster with this Single Action trigger. The North American Arms .22 WMR revolver is actually a safer carry...ditto your double action LCP I 2nd generation...

I've got three of the NAA revolvers and I've never had a misfire. I use the NAA "Earl" to shoot mice in the house at night. It has a four inch barrel. I carry one like the one in the video with CCI Max-mag or Hornaday "Critical Defense" rounds.

I carry one of the small ones loaded with bird shot and use it on bulls when they get ornery and to break up fights between them. Had two bulls fighting about a week ago I needed to move and they kept fighting and I was afraid they might run over me in their battle. I used the one with birdshot and hit them in the legs. That broke up the fight and got things moving.

I have a couple of the Ruger LCP's in .380 and they are nice to carry. I've carried them in a shirt pocket and no one ever seems to notice. I've got some Keltec pistols in 380 and .32 auto that are easy to conceal in a lot of ways.

I've tried the "Urban Carry" holsters because they sounded like a good idea but they were miserable to wear and didn't work as well as they are promoted too.

I like to carry a gun in each pocket because I can always get to one if one of my hands is busy. I was in that situation one time and could't get to my gun and I don't want to get caught like that ever again.

I've been carrying a Cobra Tec knife lately too that's pretty nice. Works good, easy to conceal, comes out fast and is razor sharp. Video review below. No knife laws where I live.

Since this is a thread on handguns and Jewboo has made his decision I thought I'd post this video because I've got a Ruger Super Blackhawk I bought when I got out of high school. I've always enjoyed shooting it and it's been really accurate. It might be part of the reason I'm pretty deaf too. The ammo was always expensive so I reloaded most of my ammo for it. I seldom shoot it any more but when I do I'm amazed that I can hit what I'm aiming for with it consistently. It feels good and it shoots good. :)





Mine is the newer two screw model and I prefer that for the added safety in carrying it. The trigger is really nice too.

I had a 2 screw Blackhawk .44 mag years ago. Bought it used and it seemed to be in good shape but when I loaded it I heard a rattling noise. The cylinder was bored too large and the cartridges were flopping around. It was a great shooter in spite of that. I suppose the cartridges weren't any good for reloading after being fired without that needed support.
Mine had a long barrel and I found I didn't carry it often. I ended up with a S&W lightweight 629 with the 4" barrel. Single action revolvers were generally designed for shooting one-handed on horseback. I don't particularly like to shoot them double handed. Everyone should own on once though, just for the sake of our history.
I'd like to add that handgun hunting is a stupid idea made popular in stupid magazines. My hearing is very weak due to firing at predators with large caliber handguns which may reflect poorly on my own intellect.
Before planing on handgun hunting, we should first try to envision hunting with hearing protection...it isn't likely to happen.

^ When it's really hot and I want to pack my G33 I wear the shoulder rig under a long-sleeved, loose fitting shirt that's not tucked in. I wear long-sleeved shirts year round for protection from the sun and cuts and scratches while working.

I have various holsters for the 380's and I have one of the holsters like EE posted a video of for a NAA revolvers. Working around home I have pocket holsters that completely cover them that keep the dirt and lent out of them. When I go to town and I'm going to be around some diversity I carry them in my pockets without holsters. the firing pin on them rests in a notch between the chambers on the cylinder so they're safe to carry that way.

I've carried the 380's a lot and everywhere with the Bulldog holsters over the years and no one has ever paid any attention to me. One of my liberal sisters doesn't like it because she knows I carry in those cases. When she starts giving me hell about it I tell her it's because of all the Jews, spics and niggers that are around and that sets her off in another direction. ;D

Most of the time right now around home I'm packing my G33 on my belt with a Blade tech paddle holster and it snaps in and out of it nicely. I don't feel right if I don't have at least one gun on me. :)

I wear high topped western boots and some times I've carried the Keltec 380's with the knife clips on them clipped through the holes in one or both of my boot tops that you use to pull them on with. Lots of ways to keep a gun handy and keep it out of sight.

I wear Wrangler western shirts and the 3AT's and LCP's slip right in the shirt pockets. I snap the flaps over them and no one seems to notice them there either. :) I use used envelopes folded up to keep notes on and with one of those and an ink pen with the LCP there's no imprint. A friend of mine made me an elephant hide IWB holster for an LCP and an alligator hide pouch for a spare magazine.:)

"Life or Death" .......that's for damn sure.

Of course that's a Latin phrase because back in antiquity they 'got it.'

In the real world there is only the quick and the dead.

There is nothing new under the sun.

Same as it ever was. (except for Drag Queen Story Time)

BUMP FOR MR: Please report your experience with RECOIL and if this little gun punished your hand. I just ordered this Hogue rubber grip (https://www.amazon.com/Hogue-18120-HandAll-Beavertail-Sleeve/dp/B07261Q9S5) from Amazon and might even also wear a glove while breaking in my own Ruger LCPII.

:D

Bump for MR. PM sent months ago. My daily carry now. Feels like someone painfully "punches" my palm as I shoot it but this is the perfect pocket-carry pistol during Summer while wearing cargo shorts.

In the video below after the 9:00 mark the guy says after a few rounds it will work on your hands and I assume that means it will sore them up a little. Even with a little fatter grip you'll still feel the recoil. Not much you can do about it. I wear some stretchy, rubber coated gloves when I'm going to do a lot of shooting and that seems to help. I get them at Harbor Freight.

I pack a couple of pocket guns most of the time too. :)



I ALSO CARRY A POCKET GUN SINCE I REALIZED THAT I AM NOW 71 YEARS-OLD (https://i.4pcdn.org/pol/1567181835341.webm).

I've got three NAA mini revolvers but I think I need one of the new Breaktop II revolvers. ;)

I use the CCI birdshot he talks about for shooting snakes and also for shooting mice in the house.

Nice, but $500 bucks for one with the extra cylinder...ouch!

Ouch!!! is right but because of the quality and workmanship on the three I already have I don't thing I can live without one of the Breaktop II's.

I'm not allowed to carry up here in cuck country but i keep this on the nightstand since crime is through the roof in my town, especially break in's.

Hope i never have to use it cause then i will be in jail for sure.

That was a hilarious video.

I have pistols and a ccp, but I rarely carry unless I am going to a city and I don't do that much anymore. Out here in the country my rifles work just fine for varmints and game.
