What shoulder rig do you have for your 44, is it the Galco VHS by chance ?

I don't even remember, it's about 25 years old.

Summer months (shorts),.......OR a quick trip to the grocery store, I grab my Kahr P-380.   It's a great little pocket gun and shoots quite well.

Winter months (jacket weather),........Glock 23

Happy medium,....... long shirt,....not tucked in, (spring/fall).....Glock 26    (thinking about trading to a 27)

S&W 40

this is so funny all you guys carrying these Bazookas and probably couldn't hit an Elephant in the A$$ with a base fiddle..... I carry one of two guns 9mm will take anything down and can hit what I aim for, or a 22 lr will penetrate anything including a life vest...

A guy I went to school with put on a police vest and his brother shot him in the chest with a 22lr. It didn't break skin but left a hell of a bruise. Not the smartest thing to do but they did it. I tried to find the video but it has been removed.

I watched a police video where several 25 caliber bullets literally bounced of a cold leather jacket and a man being hit with 6 bullets of 32 caliber, just kept on advancing toward the shooter and beat him silly.

Really opened my eyes ...

A person on "high speed chicken feed" won't be stopped by a 9mm or a 22 if I have to shoot one I want to take body parts off to slow him down...

But I will put my PSE bow up against about any caliber pistol out. you put something with in 45 yds of me and my bow or pistol chances are it's not going to be good for the thing on the other end.

I love my hand cannon can't hide from it behind a wall....

me and a cop friend tried the 2nd chance life vest against a lot of calibers and the 22 and 22 mag went thru no problem the 44 mag also went thru but all others stopped but will make ones day even with a vest be miserable broken bones and bruising would be astronomical

besides on my 9 the first 9 rounds are #12 shot I don't wish to kill them but I will make sure when they go to the hospital they will be in the most excruciating pain ever imagined, when they have to have every single lead pellet removed surgically. How painful do you think laying on the operating table having 600+ lead shots will make you feel, knowing every one will have to be removed one at a time

after the 3 round of #12 the coked out meth head would take the 9mm from you and shove it up your ass......

god forbid I ever have to pull my gun it wont be to ruin their day but to end it........

This. He's obviously never ran across a meth head. I saw one get hit in the head with a shovel. Knocked his eye out and the meth head just laughed and took the shovel and beat the shit out of him. They both ended up leaving in ambulances. Why take a chance with a small caliber

When my gun is in protect mode, it carries the biggest badest load available. If I have to use it, I don't want anyone making it to the operating table.

You don't want to be anywhere within 50 yards of me if I have a full size pistol or 500 yards with a open site AR.... The belly gun you better not be closer than 20 yards and holding my wallet or threatening me.

I have no use for Meth heads or Thieves like you guys in the cities, and as for you Dave if I shot my smallish guns at something your size I have no problem I sight my little mag in @ 75 yards on a 3 inch shoot n see so you would be like shooting at a barn wall from inside the barn. I like to take mine Prairie dog hunting and most shots are over 100 yards...out to 250... I still think alot of you guys carry oversized guns to compensate for something else, trust me if I have to use this thing for something like home invasion those will have to be identified by finger prints...I love head shots

^^^^^ hell yea ... I carry a big gun cause my car don't have enough CI if I can't out run it just shoot the tires off it

I typically carry a .38, 9mm or a .40 S&W.... I won't carry a rim fire for self defense or where my life depends on it. They just done have what it takes to reliably drop a human sized target. Yes you can get lucky, but my life is not based on being lucky.

Looked at one of these the other day. You like it?

I carry a sig p250 .45, ot the tarus judge, 3 inch magnums

I still carry a M1A1 colt 1911 45 cal. It is what I have shot most of my life and is second nature to me. Good compramise with power/ recoil ect. When it is not practical I carry a diamond back 38 special with plus p's in it home protection is ex chicago police riot gun. Based off a 1100 rem. mag extender pistol grip sliding stock night military sight. Ten rounds at short range is hard to match for fire power.

Glock quality or better at half the price. Heck yeah I like it.

I have a friend that shoots a Ruger and I pick up all of his no fires and load them in mine without any problems.
