My wife and son get worried when I do that. My son (10) says "mommy, why is daddy wearing that holster?".

Thor · 05-24-2001, 11:04 AM

My kids do the opposite, "Mom, why isnt Daddy wearing his gun again......did he loose it?" Guns are a big part of our lives. The kids have learned not to touch! And we are very careful! When I am at home, I am always armed. Thor

I carry one of my Lugers from time to time. Not because I don't have a better carry gun but because it is very light and it's easy to conceal.

Rick K · 05-24-2001, 03:30 PM

I meant (and I think Ted did too) wearing it around the house. It just kinda makes you feel secure, ya know?

Thor · 05-24-2001, 03:37 PM

Well, with my gun business, you never who will "come calling" Many gun shops here have armed employees, not the most idea set of circumstances, but I have learned to adapt!

I either carry or have a gun with in a 5sec reach around the house my self. Just last week I stopped a B&E at my house at 5am with a Luger in hand. I had it out the night before getting ready for an early morning birthday range session.

Typically I carry a 357 S&W or a 45 H&K Compact in my car with a little 32 PPK for backup to either! BUT I just like the feel of a Luger or P38 when I am not out and about! Thor

At home, I have the o&u 20 gauge with #8's. These pellets will do the job quite nicely at in house range, but will not go through the walls where family members are sleeping.

I carry my 1911 Commander comp gun , or my P99 in 40 with a .32 PP as back up for CC but the Luger was ready to go (didn't have time to pick). If I had a choice would have grabed my.50cal Desert Eagle or my MB 500 12G. Jesse

I always carry a Kel-Tec .32 compact with me everywhere. It's smaller than my wallet, and fires like a charm. It's also super-duper light, and I usually forget I'm even wearing it.

I don't think I'd ever carry my Luger concealed. Just not really the gun for the job. Plus, the whole single-action only thing is kinda spooky. Now, wearing it on a belt, non-concealed is a whole different story! I would carry it that way, if needed.

I love my Lugers, but have only carried one briefly, after I gave my S&W Airweight to my Mom. I now carry,(and wouldn't leave home without!) a Glock G-29 subcompact 10mm.

Shoots like a tackdriver, and has never jammed, from the moment I took it out of the box.

P.S.

10mm can be loaded to .41 Mag specs if you use Norma brass
