Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
As a followup to the recent thread on "guns" I thought it might be interesting to know from the gun owners on this board what type of gun(s) they use for self defense (or other purposes you may like to discuss), either at home, traveling, hunting or target shooting (etc). Let's try to keep porky away on this one. Also are you licensed to carry in your state/area?
So for self defense, I carry a 2" 357 Ruger in my primary daily drivers. When I carry on my person, I carry a 380 Sig. I don't like to "open carry", which is allowed in my State, and the Sig is easy to conceal. At home, I usually keep a Taurus 410/45 Long Colt (The Judge) readily available. I am licensed in my state.
For other purposes,
For deer hunting, I prefer my 300 Weatherby and for Dove/Quail hunting I'll typically use my trusty ~50 year old Remington 12ga 870 pump. Target shooting varies but I really like my Colt Python using handloaded 38's.
Each gun has it's own purpose/use for different situations. I could talk/write about each of these for hours but I'll stop there for now.
Anyone care to share their favorites and/or why?
