What do Luger collectors carry? - Page 2

pipeman45 · 05-10-2006, 12:42 AM

Well I like my 45 Combat Commander if I can hang it on my hip or it's cold weather and a heavy coat covers all. In warmer times I carry a North American Arms, Guardian in .32 cal. My never be without piece is also a North American Arms gun. It's the mini .22 revolver. You can hide that little bugger in swim trunks!

jamese · 05-10-2006, 05:21 AM

I carry a Glock 21 because I'm told to, but when not working I carry a mauser HSc .380 most of the time.

Marvin · 05-10-2006, 05:35 AM

I carry the Mil-Surp Polish P-64 pistol in 9 x 18mm Makarov. This is a small size pistol about the size of a Walther PPK and shots a powerful cartridge for a blowback pistol. This pistol comes with a very nice SA trigger pull, but the DA is very hard until you change the hammer spring out. When this is done, the action is sweet. It is as accurate or more accurate than the PPK. Using the hollow point bullets make it a cery concealable weapon for close range.

trigger643 · 05-10-2006, 09:37 AM

When I carry, it is a Sig 226, occasionally a Sig 230.

Craig · 05-10-2006, 10:22 AM

Smith & Wesson 4" model 67. I've put some good rubber grips on it. Loaded with hollow point +P's.

John Sabato · 05-10-2006, 01:26 PM

Colt Government Model .45 ACP
Colt Combat Commander .45 ACP (Seecamp converted to Double Action)
S&W Model 66 .357 4"
S&W Model 60 .38 Spl
Walther PPK/S .22LR

All with factory grips... modes of carry and weapon of choice vary depending upon climate and the occasion...

stymie · 05-10-2006, 02:18 PM

BREN TEN 10mm

SEECAMP .32acp for backup

Hugh · 05-10-2006, 02:34 PM

Everyday--Seecamp 32, although lately I've been trying a Colt Pony Pocketlite 380 with "melded" corners that is almost as light and not much bigger. Have a semi customized Colt Officers Mdl 45 in the truck. When roaming the woods, anything from a 22 to a 357 depending on my mood. Got to be armed for those wild savage Armidillos that may attack on a moments notice!!

Lyn Islaub · 05-10-2006, 02:53 PM

Post war PP in .32cal. I really appreciate the safety aspect of the Walther hammer drop feature with a round in the chamber because 'cocked and locked' has always made me nervous. The little Walther is dead accurate within 10-15 feet and conceals well.

stefanosg · 05-10-2006, 07:00 PM

KelTec P3AT in my car, and a Taurus .357 in my nightstand drawer. If I had to carry it would be my Glock 19.

Vlim · 05-10-2006, 07:11 PM

Mercedes G-class. Penetration power isn't very good, but stopping power sure is

Come to think of it, the star on a Benz-bonnet is a very good front sight

(we're not allowed to carry side-arms here).

wlyon · 05-10-2006, 08:15 PM

Generally a compact 45,others M60 S&W 357, M36 S&W 38 spl., Taurus 41 mag.and a couple small 380 autos. Bill

Hugh,

Be carefull! You don't want to shoot your shift supervisor.

Heinz · 05-11-2006, 06:28 AM

RK, so you are the other guy who owns a Haenel Schmeisser 25? I am leary of shooting mine because of the lack of spare parts. There is a thread on Jan's forum on this neat little piece

http://luger.gunboards.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=7307

Roadkill · 05-11-2006, 08:13 AM

Yup, my uncle Herbert took it and a gravity knife from a Fallschirmjaeger in Italy in 1944. I don't shoot it often at all, but it does function well. Its not my best choice but its better than foul language.

Gun guys have interesting guns!

G.W. Gill · 05-15-2006, 12:18 AM

American Derringer M - 1, stainless, .44 Mag. with stag grips. Slightly larger than a pack of cigs. Looks like a wild west 2 shot poker player derringer. Penetrates both sides of a 55 gal. drum @ 2 yds.

Steinar · 05-15-2006, 07:43 AM

When outdoors.. only my two fists

anything else would be 'illegal' where I live.
I do however have quite a lot of metal under my bed, but mostly for storage reasons. After moving temporary to oslo city with my family.. I found myself having a shotgun closest to the edge. Probably because I'm grown up on the quiet contryside

Only when dressed in green, visiting Svalbard, hunting or shooting for fun I would bring something that goes bang.
