Road Trip Carry Gun? What's yours?

Dan Wesson .357 magnum with 4" barrel. There are other guns in the car but that is my go to, 'get me outta trouble', gun.
 
I have a Kahr P380 in my back pocket all the time. If I am in My jeep I have a Model 60 .357 mag. under the seat. In my truck I have a Model 686 4" and a Colt Defender.
In my wife's Sequoia there is her Model 60 .357. On my motorcycle I have a Kahr P40 in the highside saddlebag.

In the house it's a Model 19 2 1/2".

That is freaking awesome. Lol one day I'll be on that level.
 
I haven't yet carried a pistol yet. Before I sold it, I had an AK-103, which had to be kept secret. However, I now have a 20" 12 gauge Lupara type shotgun. I can legally acquire a handgun in 3 years, 13 days, 14 minutes, and 13 seconds.
 
Great on 4 legged critters and guaranteed to scare the urine out of the idiot who might purpose to attempt to harm you or your family.

Of course it depends on where I'm going but generally this:

I'll carry either an HK P30 L with two spare mags or a Beretta 92FS with two spares. Loaded with 124 gr. +P Gold Dot.

My wife carries her 9mm PPS or HK P2000 SK with the same ammo and one extra mag.

BTW, great question for a thread OP. :D
 
Any threat on the road is going to be similar to any threat I may face in my home town. I carry my usual carry gun(s), and maybe a rifle behind the seat. The rifle isn't really for SD, but rather for target shooting or plinking when I reach a destination where I'm able to do so.

I have a buddy or two in Colorado that I like to shoot with.

Really? And I also should believe you think the sky is rainbow colored too?

If I'm not a gunner than you're not a person that belongs on "The View" or the "Food Network" maybe even "Disney Channel"


Kahr P45 as a primary, LCP as a backup.
One day, I will trade the LCP in for a Kahr P380.

My uncle has an LCP that I think I may want to take off his hands.
 
Constantine:

Remember "Briefcase Full of Blues" and the Blues Brothers? Well I travel with briefcase full of bullets. ;)

I trust in the Lord on all things. I use the resources and intelligence He provides to be prepared to protect my family. When driving, I do not stay in your average $100.00 a night room unarmed. I have traveled for 22 years as part of my job.

One story comes to mind. About 13 years ago I had to drive from Dallas to Tulsa. I really did not want to leave my family and decided to leave late in the afternoon and spend the night in Tulsa. I took my normal route up through Atoka, OK.

When I got on the other side of Atoka, there was a fire on the side of the road. What appeared to be a pre-fab concrete building for phone equipment was about to be engulfed by a large grass fire right off the median.

I pulled over to phone the incident in. Just as I did, a white man in blue jeans and a light blue denim short sleeved shirt ran up to the car and started beating on the roof and front passenger window screaming: "YOU ARE TAKING ME TO McALESTER! YOU ARE TAKING ME TO McALESTER! Sweat was pouring down this guys face. I pulled a .40 caliber Tanfoglio Witness on him and he never even flinched, he just kept beating the roof of the car violently.

I then sped off with him holding onto the door handle throwing rocks and gravel everywhere. By then it was getting dark. Driving about 85mph, I stopped at the next pace on the side of the road that looked safe. I called Atoka 911 and explained to the lady what had just happened. I then looked across the highway at a large fence with lights everywhere and I was right next to one of Oklahoma's State Penitentiaries located in Stringtown.

The 911 Operator explained to me that an escaped convict was on the run and authorities were searching frantically for him. 'Scary thing is I got to Tulsa and shot the Witness and it was a one shot wonder jammomatic. :( Thus began my 250 round minimum requirement for any weapon I entrust for protection.
 
Will Beararms - Wow...that must have been really annoying and awkward.

Now when you say you "shot" do you mean like, literally? It didn't fire?

Do you know if they ever caught the freak of nature?

That's something man...I do the whole 500rds thing too before carry.
 
I shot the weapon at a gun range in Tulsa the next day and learned it was a jammophile. Like the gunsmith at the range told me: buy armory grade pistols not knock offs. Even a Bulgarian Makarov is an Amory grade weapon and the handgun I recommend to those on a tight budget.

IMI Baby Jerichos were designed for the Military, XD's were also and on and on----they are armory. If it is not armory grade, I do not own it.
 
Heck Constantine, I got hit by a rental car at the airport in Newark NJ two weeks ago. It knocked me in the air and I landed on my feet thank God. Traveling is dangerous. Back to handguns. I am starting to travel a little with the XD40---much lighter---more firepower.
 
Will Beararms, wow...Sorry to hear man. Sounds like the Taurus PT145 that I used to have. The very next day it was no good. Thank God you didn't need it right then and there. Always, shoot the living daylights out of a gun before you trust it. I learned that thankfully not in a situation like that.

+1 with the armory grade pistols.

Look at my collection? lol I think it's pretty good, not perfect but good.

Now what do you mean by the XD? You're saying it WAS designed for military usage? That's what I've heard and it's on my hip right now as we speak with an extra mag. So that makes me smile.

Also sorry about that darn car. Good thing about that XD40 though, love that gun. ;)
 
Go to HS arms and study the sight. The XD is the side arm of the Croatian M&P orgs. You will like what you read. I am a .45 guy but the XD40 was in a buddy's pawn shop. I honestly think the thing was never shot when it was pawned. I got a good deal on it. They test XD's for failure with squibs by firing the pistol twice with squibs lodged in the barrel for example.

The car in Newark? I am thankful I was not seriously hurt---just sore all over for a few days. I no longer take the Lord's name in vain I will tell you that. I have always tried not to but had temper issues and forgot. I don't any more.:D
