CCW guns are fine but...

[DennisE]

The guns I love to shoot at the range are not comfortable to CCW, especially here in Florida. For example I love shooting my 3 Ruger Bisleys. I've got a 6.5" Bisley Single Six 22LR, a 5.5" SS Bisley Blackhawk 41 magnum, and a 4 5/8" Bisley Blackhawk 44 special. I shoot 3 times per week and do so with my CCW guns enough to stay well qualified with 'em...but my heart belongs to the larger, heavier wonderfully shooting Bisleys.

Anyone else love shooting a handgun that you're not likely to CCW but is just fun fun fun to shoot? Dennis

Definitely! My 7½" Super Redhawk 44Mag falls into that category!

Sure - my Taurus Gaucho in .45 LC, my Taurus 617, a Colt Defender, a Steyr M40-A1, a S&W Model 10, and a couple of others. Just fun guns to shoot.

I enjoy shooting all my guns but I get a special feeling when I shoot my ccw in realistic practice scenarios and make good hits.

I don't think I could conceal my 7.5" Redhawk or Bisleys if I wanted to but I sure do enjoy target shooting with them.

My SP-101 is a tool. A very nice self-defense tool but not an especially emotionally endearing gun. 8) 8)

My Single-Actions are my favorites to shoot. I have all different kinds of handguns and enjoy them all but large bore SA's just feel right.

Helped train a new shooter today who is going for his CCW soon. Out of all the guns he tried the 6" GP-100 was his favorite. I love shooting my own 4" GP, Service Six, and P95. They are my fave centerfire handguns.

I sound like a breakfast food commercial

"When I need a heapin helpin of quality recoil therapy, I reach for my 7 1/2" barreled 45 Colt Caliber Ruger Bisley. I throw a few 335gr LFN bullets downrange into a big heavy steel target and ring er good and loud, feel that torque in my wrist and the blast heat in my face
I just get all peaceful inside and grin"

I think I could conceal my RH Hunter. In the winter, without its optics.

 

[Jake Bauer]

Shoot, I love shooting my Browning Buckmark .22 pistol. I can quadruple-tap with that little baby without coming off target! Not likely to carry though

 

[WESHOOT2]

I carry all my guns. Just not all at once; I try to limit myself to no more than three.
Yes, even the 7.5" 357 Redhawk.

I was using my SR9c for CCW and then I bought a 4" GP100. Living here in Florida it is difficult to carry a large, heavy weapon for CCW but I managed to find a good holster and I am able to carry my GP100 now, even with shorts and a t-shirt. I may find myself having trouble when I get a real big gun like the .44 mag. or bigger

Open Carry -- the sulution that existed before the problem of CCW.

I still open carry some. Fixes the problem of firearms that aren't easily concealed.

With my current selection, CCW limits me to carrying a J-frame S&W. OC opens the choices quite a bit. Unfortinately, it's not legal in some states. It's always been legal here.

I shoot a P90, an SP101 3in., a single 6 with 5 1/2 in., and a .41 Bisley with a 5 1/2 in. Nothing comes close to the natural feel and fun of the .41.

 

[Joe S.]

I like shooting my mk3 22. Wouldn't carry it tho. Guess I could conceal all others if I had too

 

[SamV]

As far as handguns go, I really enjoy shooting my gp 100 6 inch. Smooth and very managable. Very accurate, easy pointing for me. I know some carry it, but I don't think it would carry for me without some significant clothing changes.

 

[Pocketfisherman]

There are some CCW guns that are also very pleasant range guns. My Sig 239 and Ruger SR40 are not unpleasant in the least to shoot all day long.

 

[DennisE]

All 3 of my carry guns are great and easy to shoot all day...but the guns I love to shoot the most are my Ruger Bisleys. Dennis

 

[RaisinRiverRon]

My 5.5" .45 Colt Blackhawk IS my CCW gun. In a Mernickle PS2BL it conceals just fine. And is a blast to shoot at the range.

My CC CA .44Spec Bulldog gets out once a month (a box of 100 lasts about 3 months) .... My 'only' semi-auto 22 a couple times a year? Maybe? A couple of Single Actions get out every week to get exercised . So which do I enjoy most? Can you guess?
